Player Hit System

Source file: client/engine/systems/systems_functions/PlayerHitSystem.cpp

Purpose: Reset the player's animation back to the default after the hit animation completes.

Components used:

  • PlayerTag (filters affected entities)
  • AnimatedSprite (current animation and elapsed time)
  • GameWorld (last_delta_ for timing)

Behavior​

  • Iterates entities with PlayerTag and AnimatedSprite.
  • If current animation is "Hit", increments elapsedTime by game_world.last_delta_.
  • When elapsedTime exceeds the current animation's frameDuration, switches to "Default" and resets elapsedTime to 0.

Main signature​

void PlayerHitSystem(Eng::registry &reg, GameWorld &game_world,
    Eng::sparse_array<Component::AnimatedSprite> &animated_sprites,
    Eng::sparse_array<Component::PlayerTag> &player_tags);

Notes​

  • Assumes "Hit" is non-looping and has at least one frame.
  • Only affects players; other entities rely on DeathAnimationSystem or their own systems.
