Shakes

This is an easy to use shake creator. The idea is to create shakes with predefined settings so they can be activated at runtime by name. Each shake can be called by a method or by using the shake trigger. Each shake that is created is actually linked to a Scriptable Object, which means you don’t have to keep recreating the same shakes for each scene. As long as the Scriptable Object is referenced, the shakes will persist. In fact, the module won’t work without this Scriptable Object. To create one, right click Create/FlareEngine/ShakesSO.

Any shake implemented will run simultaneously with all other shakes. The system will pool and recycle shakes to keep things nice an efficient.

Property
Name	Name the shake for identification purposes.
TimeScale	If the shake uses time-scale, the shake can be affected by slow motion.
Random	The camera abruptly shakes according to a random pattern.
Perlin	Shake the camera with the perlin noise algorithm, resulting in a smoother and less chaotic shake.
Sine	Shake the camera with a sinusoidal algorithm.
One shot	The camera shakes in a single direction. This is a recoil. This shake will need to be called by script since the shake direction can’t be known ahead of time.
Is Single Shake	These shakes are meant for high volumes short duration shakes such as bullet impacts. These shakes are grouped together and handled in a single state. The advantage is that these shakes are not added into the shake pool.
Amplitude	This is the camera displacement in the horizontal and vertical axis. The value Z is the angle displacement.
Speed	How fast the shake is implemented. Typically, a lower value is smoother, while a higher value if sharper.
Strength	Shake intensity.
Duration	How long the shake will last. The toggle button, if enabled, will make the shake last indefinitely. This is a constant shake and it must be turned off manually. Only one constant shake can run at a time.

Method
Shake()	A convenient method for calling a normal sized shake.
ShakeSmall()	A convenient method for calling a small shake.
Shake(string shakeName)	Call the specified shake.
ShakeType(…)	Create a shake through script. Call any of the different types.
