9️⃣Power Up

Create more exciting gameplay with stat power ups. These can be used as buffs and debuffs!

Players interact or collide with this object and experience a timed stat increase/decrease (attack power, damage resistance, speed) or a stat loss/recovery (health, oxygen). Can play a sound and send a message.

PERFORMANCE TIP In multiplayer Experiences, there are two layers of logic that will not communicate with each other: singleplayer [SP] and multiplayer [MP]. For best performance, only apply [MP] behaviours and components to objects that MUST be synchronised to all players (or communicate on that layer), and maximise use of the [SP] (Client Only) layer.

USAGE TIP This component will not communicate with Quests or [SP] behaviours or components. It can be used in singleplayer Experiences.

ALTERNATIVE USE

Attack Power, Damage Resistance, Speed, Health, and Oxygen are messages with arguments that can be sent from any behavior or component!

Attack Power	Use during a fight with a stronger enemy or a horde of enemies Narrative: power up to dramatically destroy a significant object Narrative: being granted temporary strength from a powerful being	Narrative: temporary harm from potion/food item When killed, enemies could drop attack power debuffs to balance gameplay/add challenge
Damage Resistance	Use during a fight with a stronger enemy or a horde of enemies Narrative: being granted temporary protection from a powerful being	Narrative: for a difficult game that ramps up difficulty as a consequence of player death, apply negative damage resistance to an invisible object at the respawn location (force collision at respawn)
