- Fix for default sandbox options

- Fix for thumpable damage

Important Note: While vehicle damage is now fully functional, SVU3 (Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 3) detection is still a Work in Progress. Currently, vehicle damage works but will only register as base METAL damage (1.25× multiplier) rather than applying specific SVU armor multipliers.

Base damage has been drastically reduced to 5% of zombie health

• Implemented new dedicated vehicle damage processing system that runs periodically instead of every tick
  
• Built sophisticated angle-based part detection system:
  - Intelligently identifies best-fitting part (engine, trunk, doors) based on zombie's attack angle
  - Customizable detection ranges per part type (e.g., doors: 2.4 tiles, trunk: 2.7 tiles)
  - Proper part identification for more realistic damage application
  
• Added zombie damage cooldown system to prevent excessive damage application
  
• Separated vehicle logic from standard thumping system for better control

• Implemented function caching ([font=Courier New]print[/font], [font=Courier New]getActivatedMods[/font], etc.) to reduce overhead
  
• Optimized math operations with inline calculations
  
• Improved loop efficiency with direct numeric iteration
  
• Removed redundant function calls in critical paths
  
• Added periodic processing for vehicle damage instead of per-tick checks

• Added master [font=Courier New]LOG_ENABLED[/font] switch for toggling all mod logs
  
• Implemented sophisticated [font=Courier New]debugPrint[/font] function with [font=Courier New]DEBUG_MODE[/font] support
  
• Added optional file-based logging capability (disabled by default)
  
• Improved error tracking and debugging capabilities
  
• Reduced console spam through optimized logging

• Reworked sandbox configuration loading:
  - Proper parsing of user-defined damage percentages
  - Implemented damage clamping between 0-100%
  
• Improved material type detection for [font=Courier New]IsoThumpable[/font] and [font=Courier New]IsoBarricade[/font] objects
  
• Enhanced sprite property checking for metal vs wood determination
  
• Separated vehicle handling from standard thumping logic

• Added initial detection for SVU3 armor components (not yet fully functional)
  
• Implemented baseline scanning for [font=Courier New]"SVU_Armor_"[/font] prefixes in:
  - Vehicle script names
  - Individual part IDs
  
• Prepared framework for future armor type multipliers:
  - HEAVY_SPIKE (1.75×)
  - LIGHT_SPIKE (1.5×)
  - METAL_HEAVY (1.4×)
  - REINFORCED (2.0×)
  
• Currently defaults all modded vehicles to METAL damage multiplier (1.25×)

• Added comprehensive nil-checking for vehicle scripts and zombie squares
  
• Improved blood splatter effect triggers with proper condition checking
  
• Enhanced error handling for missing or invalid objects
  
• Removed unnecessary logging from loops
  
• Added safety checks throughout the codebase

• Original mod by Brightex
  
• Build 42 update and continued development by ZeroTheAbsolute

This update significantly improves mod performance and introduces a robust vehicle damage system. While SVU3 compatibility remains in development, the mod now properly handles vehicle damage using the base metal multiplier (1.25×). Future updates will expand SVU3 support with custom armor type multipliers.

Changelog for Barricades Hurt Zombies [B42]

Version 2.0

New Features:
Support for SVU (Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 3): -(SVU3 is not yet updated for B42 so I cannot test this)
- Added optional compatibility for SVU's spiked vehicle armor.
- Zombies now take extra damage when interacting with spiked armor from SVU.
- New sandbox options to control damage multipliers:
- Light Spike Multiplier (Default: 1.5x damage compared to wood).
- Heavy Spike Multiplier (Default: 1.75x damage compared to wood).

Gameplay Improvements:
Tiered Damage System:
- Implemented tiered damage scaling for different barricade materials:
- Wooden barricades: 1.0x base damage.
- Metal barricades: 1.25x base damage.
- Light spikes: 1.5x base damage.
- Heavy spikes: 1.75x base damage.
- Allows more strategic use of materials when building defenses.

Enhanced Blood Effects:
- Blood splatter effects now scale with material strength.
- Added sandbox toggle to enable or disable blood effects.

Sandbox Options:
Base Damage: Set the base damage zombies take when hitting barricades (Default: 50%).
Damage Source: Choose which types of objects will damage zombies:
- Player-built only, all objects, or disable entirely.
Metal Damage Multiplier: Configure how much more damage metal barricades deal (Default: 1.25x).
Light Spike Multiplier and Heavy Spike Multiplier (Require SVU): Adjust spike damage multipliers.
Blood Effects: Enable or disable blood effects when zombies are damaged.

Code Enhancements:
Optimized Performance:
- Improved detection logic for barricades and SVU components.
- Streamlined code structure for better readability and maintainability.

Error Handling:
- Added robust error handling to gracefully handle cases where SVU is not installed.
- Clear console messages for debugging and user feedback.

Bug Fixes:
Resolved issues where non-barricade objects could unintentionally cause zombie damage.
Fixed blood effects not scaling correctly with higher multipliers.
