History Switch Remake - Resource

The concept is simple: the map is split into three zones/histories: "Past", "Present", and "Invalid". "Present" is everywhere between the user-defined offset on the defined axis and zero, "Past" is everywhere between zero and the mirrored offset value. Everything outside of that is "Invalid". The "home" history is "Present" by default but can be set to "Past" by the mapper. The player is only allowed to stay in opposite from the home history for a limited amount of time, and that time is referred to as "History time". History time refills in the home history and drains in the opposite one, does not change if the player is in "Invalid" and can also be refilled with special "extension" items, placed by the mapper. The player can be teleported by either pressing the "History Switch" key (needs to be bound first), or from scripts, by calling the "switch history" function. Watch the attached videos for more info.

The mapper is allowed to change the offset value, home history, history regeneration speed, max. history time, how much time is awarded per extension item, the total duration of the transition effect, and the "cooldown" duration (optional). The mapper can also define areas where the player can't use the history switch by adding specifically named Locator entities.

This resource includes the main "controller" script and time extension items with simple models.
Script includes functions for enabling the history switch for a player, switching history from other scripts, getting history, setting specific history time, and checking if HS is enabled for a specific player.

To add the history switch to a map, insert a new script entity, set "Auto run" to "Always"(!!!), set the script to
"Content/SeriousSamFusion/Scripts/HistorySwitch/HistorySwitch_Main.lua"
And follow instructions provided in it.
