v0.2.0-alpha : Wire, Scavenger and new Reload system

Wire, Scavenger and new Reload system

This version 0.2.0-alpha aims to give the player the ability to try out the movement of the juggernaut, the HUD, the shooting and fighting enemies and their AI (Lowe and Ameise), the wire system and ordering a scavenger
This is the result of three weeks since the project started officially.

• What is the new reload system?

In the previous versions, when running out of ammo, you were refilled after a short time. Now, this is NO LONGER possible. If you run out of ammo, you run out of ammo. Moreover, when you are out of ammo and you try to shoot, there is a BIG warning that yells at you, saying you are out of ammo on the given weapon.

• How do I do then? If I'm out of ammo, am I doomed?

Well, yes and no.

This is where the scavenger system come. Like in the story, you'll need them to reload. When nearby a Scavenger, pressing R starts the reload sequence. Each weapon is reloaded, and certains weapons take more time than other.

Moreover, when you reload, you cannot move. Hence you are completely vulnerable during this time. Be careful where you reload.

The Scavenger is an unit. It means it is the same as a Juggernaut, an Ameise, a Lowe; it is destructible. By you, your allies or even the enemies. However, the Scavenger has a low priority target so it won't be focused by the Legion but if it is alone, it won't take long before it gets destroyed.

The Scavenger is not a blind stack of metal. It is moveable and you can order it (not as in a Restaurant tho)

In order to have a great experience, please read the following lines:

KeyBindings

• W A S D (or equivalent in your language) to move the juggernaut
• Left Click to fire the main weapon
• Right Click to fire the secondary weapon
• Mouse Wheel: to Zoom In or out (up to 8.0X)
• Mouse movement to rotate the juggernaut
• ESC to pause and open the settings
• Space to revive when destroyed
• F, (Follow) you order the Scavenger to follow you / meet you
• H, (Hold) you order the Scavenger to stop any movement.
• G : (Go To) first press, you enter the design target mode.
  You'll see a glowing red area on the ground where you look at. This area shows the current destination. Move your camera to find a better spot.
  Press Left Mouse Button to confirm the area. The Scavenger will try to reach the destination
  Recast G to cancel the Go To mode.
• Hide (no key). If the Scavenger is damaged, the Hide state will automatically be triggered. It will cancel any movement running. The Scavenger will try to find the origin of the danger and hide from it by going behind walls, running away.

A Sprint Key is considered.
