The 7th Curse questions

[Thaledwyn]

Hey,

 

I've got some questions about The 7th Curse reward for reading all brawler books:

 

Quote

The 7th unarmed strike landed in a short time does 300% damage

 

1. Is there any visual or audio indicator for this? If not, could you please add one?

2. How long is the "short time"?

3. Is the counter binded to the player or to the target? (Does it reset to 0 if I change targets?)

Code below, but it looks like 7 seconds and it makes a sound when you make the special attack but not if you fail to do so within the time allotted.

 

From buffs.xml:

EDIT: Added another chunk of code.

It makes a sound like breaking a leg when it triggers.

 

In practice I rarely hear it, because I've already killed the zombie, or for the stronger zombies I hit and run a bit to try and avoid injuries. I imagine it might be useful at earlier stages, when you're facing walking zombies and they don't die even with multiple headshots.

Thank you!

Sadly the 7th sound sounds similar to the punch sounds so it's hardly hearable.
