# Basic Panic System
ModTek mod that adds a basic panic system for MechWarriors, both playable and non-playable into the game. Forked from mpstark's PunchinOut mod (https://github.com/Mpstark/PunchinOut).

## Installation

Install [BTML](https://github.com/Mpstark/BattleTechModLoader) and [ModTek](https://github.com/Mpstark/ModTek). Extract files to `BATTLETECH\Mods\BasicPanicSystem\`.

## General Details

There are four states for a pilot to be in: Normal, Fatigued, Stressed, and Panicked.

Every time a pilot has their mech take an attack, they roll for panic. This roll is increased in strength by how powerful the attack was, where it hit, how damaged the pilot's mech is in terms of armour and structure, is the rest of their lance dead or gone, etc. It is decreased by a pilot's tactics and guts scores, and their team's morale.

If this roll succeeds, they are then knocked down to the next lower state. Once they hit Panicked, they then start rolling for ejection chances. This is affected by the same things as mentioned above.

By default, pilots can only get worse in panic states once per turn, to prevent runaway panic attacks from multiple mech attacks.

For panic recovery, as long as a pilot avoids failing another roll while they're under a panic state, they recover one state up (ie Panicked -> Stressed, or Fatigued -> Normal)

A typical chain of events under this system is thus something like Normal at start -> Turn 1 during enemy action: takes hit, downgrades to Fatigued -> Turn 2: manages to avoid failing a panic roll -> Turn 3 on pilot's movement: hits Normal again

## Panic Effects

Fatigued pilots by default, experience -5 to their hit chances.

Stressed Pilots by default, experience -10 to their hit chances, and are 5% more likelier to be hit due to improper piloting.

Panicked Pilots by default, experience -15 to their hit chances, and are 5% more likelier to be hit due to improper piloting. They roll for ejection every time they're hit while in this state.

## Special Cases
Pilots with one point of HP left or are the last survivor in their lance will always roll for ejection when they receive an attack, no matter what.

## Configuration

`mod.json` has some settings on how the chances work -- for a simple change to the max ejection roll, just change the `MaxEjectChance`. Rolls for the general panic system should be relatively self-explanatory.
