Remarks

Ability hits are resolved on the server only, and CharacterDamageController reports them through in-process static events — so before this message existed no client ever learned about a hit it did not simulate itself, and the floating combat numbers were invisible for every ability on every client. The owner's own predicted damage-over-time ticks did produce a label, and produced it again on every replay of the same tick.

This is the single source of combat numbers on a client. The amount is the server's, after resistance, so what is shown is what actually happened. Sent unreliably to the target's observers — one lost label is not worth a resend — and coalesced per target per tick, so a burst of area hits on one creature costs one message rather than one per hit.

Fields

Amount

The amount, after every modifier the server applies. Never negative.

public int Amount

Field Value

int

DamageTemplateID

Cached template id of the DamageAttributeTemplate for a damage event, or 0.

public int DamageTemplateID

Field Value

int

Remarks

The client colours the label by damage type. The template id is the smallest handle that resolves through the existing scriptable-object cache on the client without a second table to keep in step; it is packed, so a small id costs one byte.

Kind

What happened; a CombatEventKind.

public byte Kind

Field Value

byte

Occurrences

How many separate hits Amount was summed from. Always at least one.

public int Occurrences

Field Value

int

Remarks

The caster predicted each of them separately. The coalescer merges every hit sharing a (source, kind, damage type) within one tick into a single entry, which is right for display — one readable number instead of a stack of labels. But the caster's client drew one predicted label PER HIT, and PredictedCombatEvents.TryConfirm consumes one pending entry per report. A three-projectile volley landing together therefore confirmed one prediction and left the other two to time out and grey themselves out, marking hits that landed as hits that were denied — the one place the prediction display lied.

One packed byte-ish int, and it is 1 for every hit outside a multi-hit burst, so it costs a single byte in the overwhelming case.

SourceObjectID

NetworkObject id of the character responsible, or 0 when there was none.

public int SourceObjectID

Field Value

int

Remarks

Zero is FishNet's "unset" object id, so it can never collide with a real one. A damage tick from a lingering poison whose caster has left, or an environmental hazard, sends 0.

TargetObjectID

NetworkObject id of the character that took the damage or the heal.

public int TargetObjectID

Field Value

int
