About the pull request

Add "afterimage" effect to Dancer "Dodge" skill

Make sure to TMs it first, i was testing it alone, and i have suspicion that it will break something

Explain why it's good for the game

Add Afterimage effect to Dancer prae Dodge, it lack any indication that it uses "Dodge", this PR is to give prae dancer visual indication of dodge ability, and make them look like they are "Hard to Shoot".

(this is intended to be only visuals)

Perhaps make the effect cut off sooner, it lasts too long. Also perhaps make it have less opacity as well, I can see this being a bit confusing for marines in the dark with the long lingering after-image. Either way looks good, I like it.

this effect last the same duration of dodge ability, but opacity can be changed.

More the duration the after images are visible before they are completly faded.
Imagine a dancer going quickly in circels, and you have a hard time seeing what an after image is and what not.
Just try to shorten the time the afterimages are visible. Or their "lifetime" so to speak.

Would be a cool ability to creat after images to confuse marines. But that be a completly diffrent ability. One i kinda want now.

Isnt that, what dance supposed to do?

Isnt that, what dance supposed to do?

I mean yeah. But the VFX is just supposed to be a visual indicator and not the actual part of the ability that make em hard to hit. Rigth?
Nothing against that, that could absolutly work. But then i say lean into it.

its visual effect, yeah, i fixed mouse opacity issue so you CANNOT target afterimages, they are visuals made to confuse marines, not to avoid damage or take bullets.
