Devlog #000 – M4 Added, Flashbang Logic Working, UI Getting There!

Weapon system overhaul:

• Standardized animation playback across all weapons (Knife, AKM, M4).

• Resolved animation sync issues and shadow-only bugs.

• Full equip logic and state transitions are now reliable across reloads, swaps, and interrupts.

• Added AnimationPlayer clip slicing to allow partial animation usage, full usage still WIP.

Flashbang system is implemented and working:

• Physics-based throwing, rotation, and bounce behavior.

• Flash effect using a screen overlay, fade-out tween, and force-based throw vector with camera-relative aiming.

• Damage and stun logic is in testing, multiplayer-safe behavior next.

User Interface:

• Most HUD elements are in place: health, ammo count, killfeed, menu system.

• Tab menu toggles and screen overlays working reliably.

Input handling & feel:

• InputMap actions finalized (weapon slots, reload, drop, grenade, switch weapon).

• Crouch and jump mechanics are smooth, tied into camera movement and hitbox height adjustment.

• Recoil and aim offset tuned per weapon class (knife > pistol > rifle). *always subject to change

Other improvements:

• Muzzle flash timing and effects tweaked for AKM and M4.

• More flexible weapon pickup/drop system being added, ready for multiplayer syncing.

• Performance holding steady at high FPS in test environments. Even with RTX and SSR
