Ability documentation

CHARACTER ABILITY

SETUP GUIDE

Set up this ability

Component: CharacterTimeBubble
Source: Scripts/Abilities/CharacterTimeBubble.cs
Animator bools: TimeBubble

Component dependencies

Requirements for this ability and its targets
Component	Where to add or assign it	Purpose / setup
CharacterHorizontalMovement	Enemy GameObject	Required for slowing an enemy through its MovementSpeed field.
Collider2D + Projectile	Projectile collider; Projectile on it or a parent	Required for detecting and slowing a projectile.

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
RadiusVisual + SpriteRenderer	BubbleVisualPrefab root	Required for the bubble visual to scale to BubbleRadius and follow the character. Assign BubbleVisual. Script: Assets/CorgiAddOns/Scripts/Abilities/RadiusVisual.cs.

Add CharacterTimeBubble and set a positive ActiveTime, such as 3, before entering Play Mode. Keep it at or below MaxActiveTime.
Set EnemyLayerMask and ProjectileLayerMask. Named defaults attempt to resolve Enemies and Projectiles when the component is added or reset.
Enemies need CharacterHorizontalMovement for the slowdown; projectiles need Projectile.
Optionally assign BubbleVisual, whose root should have RadiusVisual.
Use SlowFactor = 0.3 for 30% of original MovementSpeed or Projectile.Speed. Press TimeBubbleButton and test entry, exit and stop restoration.

Inspector reference

These are C# field declaration defaults. Existing prefab and scene values can override them. Shared fields are documented under Ability Configuration.

CharacterTimeBubble fields
Field	Type	Declared default
`SlowFactor`	float	`0.3f`
`BubbleRadius`	float	`5f`
`EnemyLayerMask`	LayerMask	`Not assigned in declaration`
`ProjectileLayerMask`	LayerMask	`Not assigned in declaration`
`ScanInterval`	float	`0.1f`
`MaxActiveTime`	float	`5f`
`BubbleVisualPrefab`	GameObject	`Not assigned in declaration`

Usage notes

This changes specific movement/projectile speed fields; it is not a global time-scale effect.
StartAbility is overridden and applies the bubble immediately, bypassing the base ActivationDelay path.
