Differences Between Controllers

Key Differences Between BlinkController & ShadowStepController

1. Visual Style & Purpose

• BlinkController → classic blink/teleport with shader dissolve + optional VFX.

• ShadowStepController → more stealth / ninja / shadow‑step oriented, z opcjonalnym Character VFX.

2. Material Workflow

• BlinkController

  • Uses separate material sets for Disappear and Reappear.

• ShadowStepController

  • Uses one unified material list (effectMaterials) for the whole effect.

3. VFX Handling

• BlinkController

  • Only 3 VFX: Disappear, Travel, Reappear.

• ShadowStepController

  • Same 3 VFX + Character VFX that can run during travel.

4. Travel VFX Logic

• BlinkController

  • Travel VFX can start early (delay), but only one VFX.

• ShadowStepController

  • Travel VFX + Character VFX can both start early and run in sync.

5. Clone System

• Both support clone spawning.

• ShadowStepController has:

  • cleaner clone workflow

  • more polished dissolve

  • more flexible multi‑mesh clone spawning

  • slightly simpler material logic for clones.

6. Intended Use Cases

• BlinkController → magic blink, teleport, sci‑fi dash.

• ShadowStepController → shadow step, ninja dash, stealth teleport, afterimage effects.
