Implementation Patterns
Combo Validator
Event-driven pattern that reacts to cooperative necromancy / undead control with progression changes and updates dependent systems.
class CooperativeNecromancyUndeadControlWithProgressionEngine {
mode = "idle";
duration = 0;
update(deltaTime: number) {
this.duration -= deltaTime;
if (this.duration <= 0) {
this.transition();
}
}
transition() {
switch (this.mode) {
case "idle":
this.mode = "waiting";
this.duration = 3.0;
break;
case "waiting":
this.mode = "idle";
this.duration = 1.0;
break;
}
}
