continuous_damage_effect

Continuous damage effects create camera shake and controller vibration for players within a radius of a sound_looping. They are similar to a damage_effect but more limited in what they can do. This tag is unused by any of the stock game's maps and may have been leftover from earlier in development.

Known issues

Although this tag contains fields related to damage and damage modifiers, these fields are unused by the game. The camera shake also only applies while a non-firing damage damage_effect is playing, such as when near a rocket explosion. This is likely a bug.

Controller vibration cannot be felt in H1CE. It is unknown if the vibration works in H1A.

Structure and fields

Field Type Comments

radius

Bounds

Unit: world units

The minimum radius (falloff start) maximum (cutoff) fade the scale of the effect's camera shake linearly by distance from the sound_looping source which references this tag class.

Field	Type	Comments
min	`float`
max	`float`

cutoff scale

float

Unused
Min: 0
Max: 1

This value does not affect the cutoff radius or effect scale.

low frequency

float

Min: 0
Max: 1

Power of the low frequency controller vibration. This is scaled by distance but not the wobble function.

high frequency

float

Min: 0
Max: 1

Power of the high frequency controller vibration. This is scaled by distance but not the wobble function.

random translation

float

Unit: world units

The maximum distance that the player view can move for camera shake. It is scaled by distance and wobble.

random rotation

float

Unit: degrees

The maximum angle that the player view can rotate for camera shake. It is scaled by distance and wobble.

zero	`0x1`
cosine	`0x2`

wobble function period

float

Unit: seconds

Controls the repeating duration of a periodic wobble function.

wobble weight

float

Min: 0
Max: 1

Sets the influence of the wobble function in dynamically scaling translational and rotational camera shake. A value of 0.0 signifies that the wobble function has no effect and the shake strength is based purely on distance; a value of 1.0 signifies that the shake strength is scaled by both the wobble function and distance equally.
