Target Dummy

Two training dummies for the shop, one on each side of the cosmetics gacha machine.

Target Dummy (the Robe)

A Robe strung up on a wooden stand.

• Can't be killed or moved. It has no health to lose, can't be grabbed, and nothing can push it over. It rocks a little when hit, but only its looks move.
• Shows every hit. A number pops up for the damage it took: what a real Robe would lose, after its own damage resistance. A smaller line shows the knockback, torque, stun or freeze behind the hit. For a thrown object, it shows the impact force and speed instead.
• Catches every kind of damage: guns, melee, explosions, grenades, staffs, thrown objects, and other mods' weapons that use the game's hurt zones
• Running total. A total over its head adds up a combo and resets after 3 seconds without a hit.

Ally Dummy (the player droid)

A player droid on the same stand, treated as a teammate. It's for testing healing.

• 1000 health that never drops below 1. A health bar over its head shows its current health.
• Friendly fire hurts it exactly like a player: the player damage of guns, melee, explosions and grenades. Red numbers show the damage, along with knockback, tumble and stun. If a hit would have downed a real player, it says so.
• Healing heals it. Green numbers show what actually went in, and say when it's already at full health.
• Other mods see it as a teammate, unchanged. It joins as a pseudo-player named "Ally Dummy". A mod that finds teammates with SemiFunc.PlayerGetList() (or by network ID) and heals or hurts them through their PlayerHealth treats it like any other player. For example, HatterWeaponsPack's Healing Wand beam and healing orb heal it, and full health means a free beam, just as for a real player. The game's own code never sees the pseudo-player, so trucks, spectating, the map and enemies are unaffected.
• Limits: mods that read GameDirector.instance.PlayerList directly won't see it, and mods that touch other parts of a player (grabbing, tumbling, camera, voice) find those empty. The base game's own heals (health packs and the heal orb heal only their user; the heal drone and health grab need a real player) don't reach it.
• StartHealth lets it start damaged. ResetAfterSeconds refills it to StartHealth after a quiet spell.
• Mods can also use TargetDummy.AllyApi directly (look it up by name with reflection).

Both dummies

• Multiplayer. The host decides every hit and heal, and every player sees the same numbers and health. Every player needs the mod.
