Team 4, General Mobs Animation Components for General Mobs

[BlairCannon97]

Description

Task: Animation components for general mobs.
Feature: General Mobs

General mob animations which will act as important visual indicators of the mobs current behavior or status. This task will involve adding additional listeners to the existing XenoAnimationController class which will trigger animations for melee and ranged attacks, hurt animations and a dying animation.
Melee animations from xeno-grunt-melee-attack.png will trigger once a mob reaches a tower, and serve as a indication that the tower is taking damage. The ranged attack animations from xeno-grunt-range-attack.png will trigger at a point consistent with the spawning of a projectile. When the health of a mob reaches 0, it will play death animation xeno-grunt-death.png, before it disappears.

Dependencies

• Projectile timing and behavior will depend on the base functionality projectile from Team-1-Tower-Projectiles
• The size of the enitity will depend on the size of the map lanes from Team-3-Maps
