SETUP GUIDE

Set up this ability

Component: CharacterGroundSmash
Source: Scripts/Abilities/CharacterGroundSmash.cs
Animator bools: GroundSmash

Component dependencies

Requirements for this ability and its targets
Component	Where to add or assign it	Purpose / setup
CorgiController	Target GameObject	Required for the push effect; damage can still be applied without pushing.

Add CharacterGroundSmash and configure TargetLayerMask for your scene.
Set ImpactDamage, ImpactRadius and PushForce. A zero PushForce skips knockback.
The push effect requires CorgiController on the target.
Optionally assign CrackEffectPrefab and set CrackDuration. Add a GroundSmash bool to your Animator.
Stand on the ground and press GroundSmashButton. Activation is rejected while the controller is not grounded.

The stop coroutine uses animation duration. Keep ActivationDelay shorter than the relevant clip duration and validate hit timing in Play Mode.
