III. Movement System

1. Player Movement​

The weapon & projectile design should not be inferior / confusing due to the 3d ness of the world

A. Input Detection​

Mouse and Movement inputs are always confined to the floor-plane, cannot have a z-component Full 3d system is being followed now

B. Collision Physics​

All collisions are computed along the plane, there is no z-component to collisions. Full 3d system is being followed now

C. Entity Motion​

Entity motion can have purely visual anim flourishes along the Z axis (aka leap slam), but while keeping collisions along the plane.

D. Core Movement Features​

  1. WASD/Controller support
  2. Sprint Mechanic: Temporary movement speed boost, trip→stunned if you take a hit (refer PoE2)
  3. Dash/Dodge: Yes, Refer Hades, (no i-frames)?
  4. Collision Response: Smooth sliding along obstacles/corners, preventing jarring stops

E. Advanced Navigation​

  1. Elevation Changes: Automatic stair/ladder climbing when pathing vertically
  2. Jump Ability: NO JUMP BUTTON. Contextual jumping over small gaps or obstacles.
  3. Movement Speed Modifiers: BEWARE. THIS WILL BE THE MOST USED THING IN THE GAME BAR NONE. Apply to only one of Sprint, Base movement if needed.

2. Enemy Movement​

Enemey Movement is on per enemy basis.
