Common Patterns

Poison Damage on Tick

Deal damage to the player every time a poison effect ticks.

Add Trigger to Player with Event: On Specific Effect Applied
Set Effect to your Poison definition
Add another Trigger with Event: On Any Effect Ticked
Add Condition: Has Effect (check for Poison)
Add Action: Change Attribute (reduce Health)

Stun with Immunity After

After being stunned, grant brief immunity to prevent chain-stunning.

Add Trigger with Event: On Specific Effect Expired
Set Effect to your Stun definition
Add Action: Add Immunity (Effect)
Set Effect to Stun, Duration to 3 seconds

Healing Aura Zone

Create a zone that heals allies who stand in it.

Create a HealOverTime effect (category: Buff, HasTick: true)
Create empty GameObject with StatusEffectAura component
Assign HealOverTime effect, set Radius to 5
Set Target Mode to AlliesOnly
Enable Remove On Exit

Boss Immune to CC

Make boss enemies immune to all crowd control effects.

Create an ImmunityProfile asset
Add your CrowdControl category to Immune Categories
Assign this profile to the Boss's StatusEffectManager
(Optional) Add Trigger with Event: On Effect Blocked to show "Immune!" text
