Hazard Entity

What is a Hazard Entity?

The hazard entity deals damage to entities entering any areas that are linked to it . The damage recieved by entities is dealt per second and can be set up in the properties. The hazard entity is used by linking areas to it that will trigger the damage when entered, similar to an area trigger. Additionally a damage type can be set in the properties which determines the kind of screen effect the player will get when entering the area of the hazard entity. The damage type determines what kind of post processing effect will be applied on the screen. If the damage type is set to frost for example the screen will slowly start to freeze while the player is taking damage. There are three damage types currently: frost, fire and electricity.

The hazard entity is set up the same way as an area trigger: Create an area shape and pick the hazard entity as a target.
