Hero Pawns

Notable differences:

• All 6 main pawns have new unique traits (see far below)

• Added a speed charging mechanic enabled by default, which grants the player a minor temporary speed boost while charging (with reduced acceleration rate while charging)

• Added variables for toggling various aspects of the player mechanics

• Removed pointless logging

• Simplified code when applicable

• Improved logic for determining whether the pawn is the current player or not (using GetHP() instead of bMainPlayer)

• Uncapped shamrock count that would be locked when loading a save

• Removed health being recovered back to its maximum amount upon a load

• Health now persists across levels

• Fixed a bug where Shrek's health would be set to the amount the player has the previous level on someone who was not Shrek

• The player can now take damage while in the air from any damage source

• Fixed a bug where Shrek would take the amount of damage the player would take, if the current player was not Shrek

• Fixed a bug where only one Donkey could cheer for Shrek during the PIB boss fight

• Fixed a bug where the player could die by falling up too far

• Fixed a bug where the player could get commonly stuck after pulling a lever

• Dying to a swinging ball that instantly kills the player now uses less hacky code, and also makes the save auto-load slower

• Re-worked logic for automatically restarting a level

• Added the ability for music to transfer across loading screens

• Fixed a bug where doing a charge attack while in water would break your movement animations

• Re-worked tired dialog system so that it does not occur too often

• Fixed a bug where mounts would not be treated the same as a land, when not doing so causes a lot of issues

• Fixed a bug where the player could take fall damage when falling onto a slide

• Added functionality for health to be transferred across bonus worlds (picking up an energy bar will carry across)

• Added a new fall damage system (with toggle) for when the player falls a fatal fall distance so that instead of it instantly killing the player consistently, it now deals a very high amount of damage, which scales depending on the distance fallen

• Old fatal fall damage system now deals the amount of damage the player has in total, meaning it will always kill the player, even past 10k health

• All functions now can be overwrote or superseded (except HeroInQuicksand() due to limitations, but this function is nearly useless)

• Knockback toggle is now controlled by scripts strictly

• The player is now considered tired when the player is either below 50 health or is below 33% health

• The player now always comments when picking up an energy bar

• The third attack's splash damage no longer deals 1k damage, instead dealing 3 damage

• Fixed a bug where the player could charge attack into a slide to deadstop intentionally late

• PIB now uses his original attack sounds, faint sounds, landing sounds, and sword unsheathing/sheathing sounds

• Fixed a bug with ShrekHuman where drinking an invisibility potion then a strength potion would break the sword's skin

• Fixed a bug with PIB where doing a charge attack off a ledge into a mount would cause the sword's location to break completely

• Fixed a bug with PIB where drinking a shrink potion would revert any AmbientGlow changes

• Added Destroyed() support so that no actors are leftover once destroyed

• Added a particle for jumping off the air

• Pawns with a weapon in their hand now deal more damage (and the damage multipler can be changed)

• Pawns now render with more detail from farther away

• Maximum enemy targeting cap is now 256 (from 2)

• Fixed bug with PIB not putting away his sword while charging off an edge

• Shrek's bellyflop sound is now determined by whether he hits the top of a pawn or not

• Shrek's third attack now shakes the screen

• Steed's default tag is now actually Steed instead of Donkey (make sure to specify the new pawn tag in CutScript)

• ShrekHuman's default tag is now actually ShrekHuman instead of Shrek (make sure to specify the new pawn tag in CutScript)

• BaseMovementRate is now pre-calculated in accordance with the pawn's GroundRunSpeed, meaning the animation speed will remain the same no matter the initial (future speed changes need to manually account for this)

• Hero pawns can now be seen at a higher quality from a farther distance
