Once the extraction of effects into this module is complete, we can order, document and extend what we have.

Effects can be classified by different dimensions, including but not limited to their amount of damage (including no damage at all), the impairment they cause (e.g. slow-down, stun, enlargement, blurred vision, blocking abilities etc.), their target behaviour (e.g. single-target, multi-target, area of effect, chaining) or their time-wise development (e.g. instant, permanent, temporary, delayed).

Depends on Terasology/Towers#4

The NPCSpawnSystem runs in all modules that depend on this module, resulting in one skeleton being spawned somewhere on the map, which is not required. Here is an example from MetalRenegades:

Create a better system where NPCs are only spawned on request by other modules

The arrow items have a cool-down time of 0, which allows mining with them at light speed (e.g., in Light and Shadow).

Changing this cool-down speed should fix the "fast mining" issue.

Doing some unrelated physics testing, encountered the following scenario:

• Client/Host player: Started the game, bow is initially selected item, quiver slot visible
• Client only player: Joined the game, had no quiver slot visible despite also having bow selected
• Either player: Selecting or deselecting the bow made the quiver icon visible/invisible in both places

Clearly some networking config isn't set quite right :-)

When an arrow hits a player, it gets stuck in them and moves around with them, but it's suspended quite far from their body, rather than actually looking like it's embedded in them. This is probably a result of the collider intended for item pickup being used to detect arrow collisions. It is the trigger attached to the player entity, I think the only trigger, and the actual main collider for the character's shape is the CharacterCollider instead.

During play-testing Light and Shadow we noticed on many occasions that the ammo slot is disappearing for players.

So far, we haven't found out what causes this behavior, so this needs some investigation.

Appeared on https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/releases/tag/v5.2.0-rc.1 and previous releases.
