# 13 — Unknowns and Runtime Questions
|
||
|
||
**Status: Draft**
|
||
|
||
- **Scope:** Unresolved questions after Batches 1–3 and Batch 4A Pass 8.
|
||
- **Inspection method:** Consolidation of Batches 1–3 + Pass 8 animation archaeology.
|
||
- **Evidence classifications used:** Observed Implementation, Documented Intent, Observed Runtime Behavior, Inferred, Unknown.
|
||
- **Tool or visibility limitations:** Semantic Search unavailable; CustomEvent FunctionFlags unread; Montage Notifies array / times unreadable; AnimGraph DSL empty; no PIE.
|
||
- **Last updated:** 2026-07-16
|
||
- **Current phase:** Phase 1 — Static Architecture
|
||
- **Last completed pass:** Pass 8 (Batch 4A)
|
||
- **Next pass expected to contribute:** Pass 7 / 4 / 9 when authorized
|
||
|
||
## Draft tracking
|
||
|
||
### Completed sections
|
||
- Batch 1–3 unknowns and resolutions
|
||
- **Pass 8 resolutions:** UseAbility* callers; Amazonian melee anim path; Cleric dead notifies; cleanup via AN_AttackComplete; PerformingWhirlwind not animation-driven
|
||
|
||
### Pending sections
|
||
- Frontend/session/enemy AI (Pass 4 / 9)
|
||
- GE/cue inventory (Pass 7)
|
||
- Runtime test procedures
|
||
|
||
### Evidence still required
|
||
- Notify trigger times (Manual Editor)
|
||
- Interrupt vs AN_AttackComplete behavior (PIE)
|
||
- Live ASC vs DEPRECATED HUD coexistence (PIE)
|

## Resolved in Batch 2–3 (unchanged)
|
||
|
||
See prior tables in git history / Batch 3 handoff. Key: legacy IA→Server_Ability_*; DefaultAttributes=None; WBP_PlayerHUD is AHUD.

|
||
|
||
## Resolved in Batch 4A (Pass 8)
|
||
|
||
| Question | Resolution | Classification | Doc |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Who calls UseAbility*? | `AN_Ability_001–004` AnimNotify BPs → BPI interface on montage owner | Observed Implementation | 10, 05 |
|
||
| Paladin 001 damage via anim callback? | Yes — `AN_Ability_001` during Attack_* montages | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Paladin block Montage/notify? | No Montage; ABP Block from `IsBlocking`; End clears | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Paladin charge Montage cleanup? | No — ChargeTimeline / ability logic | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Amazonian working melee anim path? | Begin → Multicast → `AN_Ability_001` → UseAbility001 → Authority damage; `AN_AttackComplete` clears | Observed Implementation + Observed Runtime Behavior | 10 |
|
||
| Weapon collision notify windows? | Not observed — overlaps inside UseAbility* | Observed Implementation (absence) | 10 |
|
||
| PerformingWhirlwind set by anim? | No — not in ABP/montages; still Get-only | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Cleric 001 hidden notify gameplay? | Notify present; `UseAbility001` unimplemented — dead | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Cleric 002/003/004 anim dependency? | 002/004 notify-driven; 003 timer + vestigial AN_Ability_003; ABP Divine Circle | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Wizard spell via anim callbacks? | No Wizard montages; ABP locomotion only | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| Gunslinger shared AnimBP/Montage? | No AnimBP dependency | Observed Implementation | 10 |
|
||
| CurrentlyAttacking clear on montage complete? | Via `AN_AttackComplete` → SetIsAttacking; interrupt Unknown | Observed Implementation / Unknown interrupt | 10 |
|
||
| Death anim invoke destroy/respawn? | No — ABP Death presentation; PlayerDeath on character | Observed Implementation | 10 |

## Confirmed static defects with runtime questions
|
||
|
||
| Confirmed finding | Issue | Runtime question |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Enemy ASC vs GetASC | Incomplete Refactor | PIE impact |
|
||
| Dual HUD paths | Incomplete Refactor | Which drives bars? |
|
||
| DefaultAttributes unused | Partially Implemented | Spawn attribute source? |
|
||
| Cleric 004 empty SpawnActor + mana bypass | Existing Baseline Defect | PIE behavior |
|
||
| Gameplay hit windows depend on Multicast montage notify eval on server | Technical Debt / static risk | Does server always evaluate notifies? |
|
||
| Interrupt may skip AN_AttackComplete | Incomplete Refactor | Stuck CurrentlyAttacking? |
|
||
| Cleric AN_Ability_001 / 003 dead receivers | Existing Baseline Defect / Technical Debt | Cosmetic-only primary attack? |
|

## Requires further inspection
|
||
|
||
| Question | Method | Priority |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Notify trigger times / sections | Manual Editor | Medium |
|
||
| Interrupt cleanup | PIE | High |
|
||
| GE/cue referencers | Pass 7 | High |
|
||
| Enemy BP AI | Pass 9 | High |
|
||
| Sessions / frontend | Pass 4 | Medium |
|
||
| Paladin block absorb (PlayerHitCheck) | Graph walk (non-anim) | Medium |
|

|
||
## Tool and environment limitations
|
||
|
||
| Item | Impact |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Montage `Notifies` property unreadable | Times Unknown; presence via deps |
|
||
| AnimNotifyList registry tag empty for BP notifies | Do not trust tag alone |
|
||
| AnimGraph / transition DSL empty | State drivers via EventGraph + VariableGet |
|
||
| CustomEvent Reliable flags | Unknown |
|
||
| No PIE in Batch 4A | Runtime deferred |
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Priority order for later verification
|
||
|
||
1. Pass 7 — GE/cue/tag inventory
|
||
2. Pass 9 — enemy Blueprint AI
|
||
3. Pass 4 — sessions / frontend
|
||
4. Controlled PIE — dual HUD, notify interrupt, server montage eval, Cleric 001/004
