Life

Life and stamina values are hardcoded in tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::'anonymous_namespace'::LifeControllerImpl::Initialize:

On taking lethal damage health is set to 1, so she can be executed or extracted; same logic applies to Skulls unit. Implementation: tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::'anonymous_namespace'::LifeControllerImpl::Initialize. Damage is handled by tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::'anonymous_namespace'::DamageHandlerImpl.

Game loop

All actions are processed in tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::ActionControllerImpl::Update. Two primitives are used: action tasks and commands (which can be converted to tasks). Commands include firing the weapon, playing damaged animations, flashing scope. Tasks are more complex and may involve commands: jump to location, equip the weapon and shoot player. Commands can be overridden (how and when?).

Recovery

Quiet can enter recovery phase, where she looks for closest recovery point (water source) and bathes in it. Sniper Skulls don’t do that (switch where?). Implementation: tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::RecoveryAiImpl.

UI

Uses special health bar, described in 00.dat/Assets/tpp/pack/mission2/story/s10050/s10050_area_fpkd/Assets/tpp/ui/GraphAsset/entry_datas/boss_gauge_head.fox2. Activated as a sight marker (with binoculars or regular zoom), disappears along with player-set follow marker after enemy jumps or runs in invisible state.

Misc

Quiet has special animation if attacked with water pistol; no damage is dealt (what about Skulls?). Implementation: tpp::gm::bossquiet::impl::DamageAiImpl::StepWaterGun.
