Assassinations Overview

There are two types of assassinations:

• Close: Physical takedown at close range.
• Ranged: Throw the equipped weapon at the target.

This system will be expanded significantly in future updates.

How Does It Work?

Assassinations are set up per-weapon, depending on the animations you assign to specific variables.

Close Assassinations

For close takedowns:

• The player must overlap the takedown collision box.
• Press the Assassinate input button when overlapping.

Future expansions will include:
• Takedowns from any direction
• Conditional takedowns (based on enemy health, combat state, etc.)

Ranged Assassinations

For ranged takedowns:

• The player must lock onto the target.
• Range animations must be assigned.

Ranged assassinations will only trigger if a valid Range Assassination animation is assigned.

You can control whether the thrown weapon can be picked up after impact:

If true: The thrown weapon stays at the target for pickup.If false: The weapon is destroyed on impact.

Future expansions will allow using side weapons like throwing knives instead of always sacrificing the equipped weapon.
