# Battle System Improvements - Implementation Guide

## Overview
This document outlines the fixes and improvements made to address the reported issues with gold distribution, null reference errors, and movement speed visibility.

## Issues Fixed

### 1. ✅ Gold Distribution from Discovery Events

**Problem**: Discovery events were not adding gold to team members' totals.

**Root Cause**: The `TravelEventSystem.ApplyResourceChanges()` method was only logging gold changes instead of actually distributing them.

**Solution Implemented**:
- Added `DistributeGoldToTeam()` method that:
  - Retrieves team size from PlayerPrefs
  - Distributes gold equally among all team members
  - Handles remainder gold (gives extra to first few characters)
  - Includes automatic currency conversion (100 copper = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold)
  - Saves updated character data back to PlayerPrefs

**Files Modified**:
- `Assets/Scripts/Events/TravelEventSystem.cs` - Added gold distribution system

### 2. ✅ TravelEventUI Null Reference Error

**Problem**: NullReferenceException in TravelEventUI.HandleInput() method.

**Solution Implemented**:
- Added additional null safety check in `HandleInput()` method
- Changed from `currentMessage.requiresPlayerInput` to `currentMessage != null && currentMessage.requiresPlayerInput`
- Provides double protection against race conditions

**Files Modified**:
- `Assets/Scripts/Events/TravelEventUI.cs` - Enhanced null safety

### 3. ✅ Character Stats UI System

**Problem**: No way to view character stats (including movement speed) in battle scene.

**Solution Implemented**:
- Created comprehensive character stats UI system in `PlayerDecisionController`
- **Key Binding**: Press **'C' key** to toggle stats panel (avoiding conflict with Tab key used by enemy selection)
- Features:
  - Shows base attributes (STR, DEX, CON, WIS, PER)
  - Displays combat stats (Health, Attack, AC, Movement Speed)
  - Shows NavMeshAgent speed for debugging movement differences
  - Updates when clicking on characters
  - Clean dark-themed UI with organized sections

**Files Created**:
- `Assets/UI/BattleSceneUI/CharacterStatsPanel.uxml` - UI layout
- `Assets/UI/BattleSceneUI/CharacterStatsPanel.uss` - UI styling

**Files Modified**:
- `Assets/Scripts/BattleScene/PlayerDecisionController .cs` - Added UI system

## Key Binding Changes

Since the Tab key was already used for enemy selection mode switching, the character stats panel uses:
- **'C' Key**: Toggle character stats panel visibility
- **Tab Key**: Continue to switch enemy selection modes (List UI vs Direct Targeting)

## How to Use

### Gold Distribution Testing
1. Create/trigger discovery events during travel
2. Check team member gold values in character selection or shop
3. Verify gold is distributed equally among team members

### Character Stats Panel
1. Enter battle scene
2. Press 'C' to toggle the stats panel
3. Click on different characters to view their stats
4. Compare MovementSpeed values and NavMeshAgent speeds

### Movement Speed Verification
- Characters with higher DEX should have higher MovementSpeed values
- NavMeshAgent speed = (MovementSpeed / 10) * 3.5
- Example: MovementSpeed 15 → Agent Speed 5.25 units/sec

## Technical Implementation Details

### Gold Distribution Logic
```csharp
// Gold distributed equally with remainder handling
int goldPerMember = totalGold / teamSize;
int remainderGold = totalGold % teamSize;
// First few characters get remainder gold
```

### Character Stats UI Integration
- Uses Unity UI Toolkit (UIElements) for modern UI
- Programmatic fallback if UXML/USS files not found
- Real-time updates when character selection changes
- NavMeshAgent integration for movement speed debugging

### Movement Speed System
- Base formula: `agent.speed = (character.MovementSpeed / 10f) * 3.5f`
- Configured in `BattleSetup.cs` (already working)
- Now visible through character stats display

## Future Enhancements

1. **Health Distribution**: Extend resource system to handle health from rest events
2. **Stats Panel Customization**: Add toggle for debug information
3. **Movement Speed Indicators**: Visual indicators during character movement
4. **Expanded Currency System**: Support for equipment costs and rewards

## Testing Checklist

- [ ] Discovery events add gold to team members
- [ ] No null reference errors in TravelEventUI
- [ ] Character stats panel shows/hides with 'C' key
- [ ] Stats update when clicking different characters
- [ ] Movement speed differences visible in stats panel
- [ ] NavMeshAgent speeds match calculated values
- [ ] Tab key still works for enemy selection modes

## Compatibility Notes

- All changes maintain backward compatibility
- No breaking changes to existing systems
- Character stats UI gracefully handles missing components
- Gold distribution works with existing PlayerPrefs save system
