DS2 debugging tools. This lets you see hitboxes, map collisions, control enemies and many more things. Mainly for mod authors, but can be fun to mess around with for casual players too.

Installation
If you don't use other DLL mods:
Enemy Control Guide
Attacks:
Holding down L2/LT will switch over to the third action set (special attacks).
Holding down L1/LB will switch over to the first action set (Action set 1)
Holding down both L1/LB and L2/LT will switch over to the fourth action set (combo attacks)
Releasing any of the above combinations will switch back to the default set.
Dodge:
If available, dodges are bound to the directional arrows (DPAD) while the B button is held. One arrow for each direction.
If the character does not perform any dodge actions it's because it doesn't have any.
Block:
Holding down L1/LB will put the character in a blocking stance. Letting go of the key will make it so that the character stops blocking.
Dash:
Hold B to sprint while NOT holding L1/LB and L2/LT.
Jump:
Press Right Stick (R3) to jump. Contrary to the player character, this works even if the enemy is not moving (it will play a slightly different animation)
Lock On/Unlock:
Press Left Stick (L3) to toggle target lock. The character will look for the nearest target it can attack (taking team type into consideration) and use that as a lock on target.
Right now, no kind of visibility tests are performed to determine the lock target, so it will lock on through walls.
Alt Stance:
Some enemies have an alternative stance. You can access it by pressing START.
Weapon Switch:
You can cycle through the weapons an enemy has available by pressing BACK.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1) Enemy Control
2) Hitbox display
3) Map/character collision display
