Hit Zone, Status & Effect ~ Godot 4+

A custom Godot 4+ node used to detect a hit from an attack and creates a series of status/effects on the target.

This custom node can be used to detect a hit from an attack by monitoring collisions when a node body enters the selected Area2D. After calling the hit_body function either manually or automatically when collision is detected, status/effects are created in the target node body.

🧬 Features

• Automatically create statuses and/or effects when node body hits an Area2D.
• Easily add a dictionary of status/effect resistances.
• Includes Damage, Heal and Knockback effects.
• Built to integrate with JBS Health Node.
• Signals are emitted before and after status/effect application.
• Extend and create your own status and effect!
