changedOther ChangesImproved the internal logic for determining nearby enemies. Developer comment: before the change, the "nearby enemies" condition was calculated based on the distance between the center of the player and the center of an enemy. This made the condition harder to trigger against large enemies. After the change, the condition will be calculated based on a distance between the nearest points of the player's collider and the enemy's collider. As a result, all effects that rely on the "nearby enemies" condition will now trigger more reliably and consistently.
