Six combat and status shaders for Godot 4. Drop them on any sprite and drive them from code.

Built for action and RPG feedback: apply a material, animate a single parameter when the status hits, and let the shader do the rest. Parameters are grouped in the inspector for fast tuning.

The shaders

• Electric - crackling energy border with arcing filaments. Perfect for shock status, charged attacks and energy shields.
• Frost - icy tint with white frost creeping in from the edges and crystalline sparkle. Animate amount to freeze a target in.
• Poison - toxic green wash with rising bubbles. Ideal for damage-over-time and hazard feedback.
• Burn - charring with glowing embers crawling across the sprite. Tween amount when the fire DoT lands.
• Bleed - red wounds and running drips for injury and low-health states.
• Shockwave - expanding ring that distorts everything behind it. Drive age from code on explosions and heavy impacts.

Quick start

Copy the shaders/ folder in, add a ShaderMaterial and load the effect. Most status effects expose an amount you tween from 0 to 1 when the status is applied. Shockwave reads the screen, so place a BackBufferCopy before it. The demo shows each one wired up.
