Implementation Patterns

Aggro System

A modular approach to contextual guard break redux that separates concerns and enables easy testing.

class ContextualGuardBreakReduxManager {
  health: number = 50;
  rate: number = 2.0;

  apply(target: Entity) {
    const modifier = this.calculateDamage();
    target.health -= modifier * 1.0;
    if (target.health <= 0) {
      target.triggerBreak();
    }
  }

  calculateDamage() {
    return this.rate * (1 + this.buff / 100);
  }
}

Status Effect Manager

Core implementation pattern for handling contextual guard break redux logic with clean state management.

class ContextualGuardBreakReduxController {
  mode = "idle";
  cooldown = 0;

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

  transition() {
    switch (this.mode) {
      case "idle":
        this.mode = "waiting";
        this.cooldown = 2.0;
        break;
      case "waiting":
        this.mode = "idle";
        this.cooldown = 2.0;
        break;
    }
  }
}
