Hold and Swing 1hand and 2hand weapons based on skill level (1-3)

[JaXt0r]

Description

Gothic has three levels of proficiency/skills for the following melee weapon types:

1. One-handed
2. Two-handed

Levels are:

1. unskilled
2. trained
3. master

We should aim to reimplement the fighting behaviour in VR similar to what the hero is doing in G1 classic.
This includes:

• One-handed weapons need to be hold two-handed when unskilled
• Add weight of a weapon if the hero is unskilled or trained to let the sword move with a weighted delay
• Let the hero have some cooldown after a certain amount of combos (like when unskilled, the combo is ~3 hits before restarting it). The cooldown can be either "weight of sword is raised during cooldown" and/or we have some visual cooldown like some greyed out vision or pulsating vein 💢

Tasks

• Implement dynamic weight of a melee weapon in hand, based on skill level
  • Check if the weight will add the movement delay we expected
  • Apply weight once item is grabbed
  • Remove weight once item is released (Otherwise it will smash to the ground as it's way too heavy)
  • For unskilled 1hand and 2hand skills, implement the system, that weight is lowered once two hands grab the item
• Cooldown
  • Implement a timer which counts swings during a period of time
  • Based on skill level more swings can be done one after another
  • If the counter is down to zero
    • Add a visual effect of the cooldown (either grey out whole view or add some fog or an icon on screen etc.)
    • During cooldown, sword swings are nearly impossible (and later: make no damage)
    • Cooldown needs to be removed after another timer

Out-of-scope

• This ticket handles weight and cooldown feature only
• It can be tested without any fight process (Can be tested in lab etc.)
