CHARACTER ABILITY

SETUP GUIDE

Set up this ability

Component: CharacterBerserker
Source: Scripts/Abilities/CharacterBerserker.cs
Animator bools: BerserkerTransform, BerserkerActive

Component dependencies

Requirements for this ability and its targets
Component	Where to add or assign it	Purpose / setup
Health	Character	Required for the health threshold and incoming-damage refund.
DamageOnTouch	Character hierarchy	Required on the attacks that should receive the damage bonus. Components under a non-melee Weapon are excluded.

Visual component dependencies

These components support the associated effect. A missing optional visual does not by itself imply that the gameplay mechanic cannot run.

Visual dependencies
Component	Where to add or assign it	Purpose / setup
BerserkerAura	Character, or explicitly linked to the ability	Optional visual component. Assign Ability, TargetSprite and AuraShader; missing references disable the aura component, not the Berserker mechanic.

Add CharacterBerserker to a CharacterPlus character with Health.
Set ActivationMode to Automatic or Button. Both modes require living health at or below HealthThresholdPercent (default 0.25).
Choose a positive ActiveTime for a temporary buff; the inherited default 0 is indefinite.
DamageMultiplier defaults to 1.5 for eligible DamageOnTouch components in the character hierarchy. Non-melee Weapon parents are excluded.
In Button mode select BerserkerButton and verify the matching Legacy input names for your PlayerID.
Configure BerserkerTransform and BerserkerActive bools in the Animator; exercise damage, transformation and respawn in Play Mode.
