Overview
Unlike the other things being read in (GameEntity, EntitySystem, etc) this is more of a programming language than a chunk of data. That is, it's imperative as much as it is descriptive.
It's also different in that it relies heavily on template "variables" to avoid duplicating a lot of xml when you want your bullets to do the same or similar thing a lot.
Here's an example usage:
In a file in Configuration/EntitySystem/ :
<system name="TestWeapon" category="Weapon" shot_type="BulletPointedYellow" damage_type="Ballistic" attack_power="40" fire_rate="3" range_actual="500" shots_per_salvo="1" targeting_logic="Lead" firing_timing="AllTheTime" special_bullet_patterns="TestVariablePattern" > </system>
And in a file in Configuration/BulletPattern/ :
<bullet_pattern name="TestVariablePattern"> $TestOuterVar SPEED=500 </bullet_pattern>
And in a file in Configuration/BulletPatternVariables/ :
<var name="TestOuterVar"> <bullet angle="0" speed="0"> <loop iterations="5"> <spawn> <bullet_pattern> $TestInnerVar A1=45 A2=-45 $TestInnerVar A1=-45 A2=45 </bullet_pattern> </spawn> <wait time="0.1" /> </loop> <die /> </bullet> </var> <var name="TestInnerVar"> <bullet angle="[A1]" speed="[SPEED]" shot_type="BulletBentEnergyRed"> <wait time="0.5" /> <loop iterations="5"> <change angle="[A2]" time="0.0001" /> <wait time="1" /> <change angle="[A1]" time="0.0001" /> <wait time="1" /> </loop> <die /> </bullet> </var>
Massively more confusing than the examples of the data-chunk files, right? Well, welcome to the neighborhood, it's at least as bad as it sounds.
