Modular AI Combat Behavior

Data-driven implementation that loads basic riposte mechanic for mobile configuration from external definitions.

class BasicRiposteMechanicForMobileEngine {
  state = "idle";
  timer = 0;

  update(deltaTime: number) {
    this.timer -= deltaTime;
    if (this.timer <= 0) {
      this.transition();
    }
  }

  transition() {
    switch (this.state) {
      case "idle":
        this.state = "recharging";
        this.timer = 1.5;
        break;
