General information

• The XML on this page is based on OniSplit v0.9.61.0.
• Impt*.oni files are global (they can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/level0_Final.dat).
• They are used by CBPI, ONIA and ONIE.
• Impact is only specified by the file name.
• Every impact has a parent impact to organize effects in ONIE.

XML structure

For example, ImptBar_Super_Kick.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Oni>
   <Impt id="0">
       <ParentImpact>ImptKick_Hit</ParentImpact>
   </Impt>
</Oni>

Some Impts are used to detect the regular character-environment collision which comes from a character's movement (see ONCC). It looks like this:

       <ImpactModifierName>Heavy</ImpactModifierName>
       <Impacts>
           <ONCCImpact>
               <Name>Footstep_Walk</Name>
           </ONCCImpact>
           [...]
       </Impacts>

Flags allowed for <ImpactModifierName>:

Heavy

Medium

Light

Impact tree

If an impact (effect) links to an empty node, it will go up the hierarchy until it finds content and matching conditions.
