MineTrigger v0.4.3

Combat & Trigger System Update

Attacker Force Blaster

• Replaced the Attacker kit's old slot 2 weapon with a dedicated Force Blaster.
• The Force Blaster is designed as a short-range utility sidearm rather than a damage weapon.
• Deals only 1 damage.
• Applies strong knockback to struck entities.
• Intended for:
  • Creating space
  • Breaking enemy pressure
  • Repositioning targets
  • Setting up melee attacks
• Uses its own MineTrigger item identity instead of reusing another gun.

Projectile Improvements

• Improved Asteroid, Hound, and Egret projectile collision handling.
• Fixed projectiles failing to properly register against Training Trion Soldiers.
• Projectile collision now works more reliably against stationary practice targets.
• Existing projectile travel, range, block collision, and impact behavior remain intact.

Training Dummy Improvements

• Training Trion Soldiers now properly receive damage from MineTrigger projectiles.
• Increased training dummy health to 1000 HP.
• Dummies can now be used for extended combat testing without being destroyed after only a few shots.
• Training targets remain compatible with:
  • Asteroid
  • Hound
  • Egret
  • Force Blaster
  • Existing melee Triggers

Trion System Overhaul

• Increased player starting Trion to 1000.
• Increased default Trion to 1000.
• Increased maximum Trion to 1000.
• Existing players with older lower Trion limits are migrated to the new baseline.
• Players now begin with:
  • 1000 / 1000 Trion
• Designed to allow substantially longer combat sessions without constantly running out of Trion.

Trigger Control Hotbar Layout

Added dedicated Trigger lifecycle items directly to the hotbar.

Slot 7

• Trigger On while the player's Trion body is inactive.
• Trigger Off while the player's Trion body is active.
• The item automatically changes according to the current Trigger state.

Slot 8

• Intentionally left empty.
• Creates visual and functional separation between Trigger controls and the emergency Bail Out slot.

Slot 9

• Bail Out while Trigger On is active.
• Remains the dedicated emergency exit position across all active combat kits.

Trigger Lifecycle

The active layout now follows:

Combat Items → Trigger Control → Empty Slot → Bail Out

• Trigger On activates the player's selected Trigger Set.
• Trigger Off intentionally ends the Trion body and returns the player to standby.
• Bail Out remains the emergency termination/return action.
• Resume and loadout restoration continue rebuilding the appropriate hotbar based on the player's Trigger state.
