Terror Buff
Terror (displayed in-game as “Terrified”) is a status effect in Remixed Dungeon that causes affected characters to become frightened and flee from combat. The Java class is named `Terror`, but the localized display name comes from the string resource `TerrorBuff_Name` (“Terrified” in English, “Ужас” in Russian).
Effects
- Frightened: Affected characters become overwhelmed with fear and will attempt to run away from enemies
- Movement: Affected characters will actively move away from enemies in sight
- Duration: The effect lasts 10 seconds by default (Terror.DURATION = 10f)
- Behavior: Affected characters avoid engaging in combat while terrorized
- Status Message: Shows “frightened” (Char_StaFrightened) on the character's sprite
Causes
Terror can be inflicted by:
- Special abilities of certain mobs like Wraith that use terror attacks
- Horror Enchantment on weapons
- Certain wands with fear effects
- Some cursed items or dark magic effects
Counters
- Potions and items that cure status effects may remove terror
- Some creatures may be immune to terror effects
- When a terrorized mob is reduced to 0 HP, the terror effect is removed by the Terror.recover() method
Code Implementation
When the Terror buff is applied:
- If the affected character is a mob, any pet they have is released
- The character's sprite shows the “frightened” status message
- For English this displays “frightened”, for other languages the localized string is used (e.g., “испуган” in Russian)
