The cast has weight. The reel has tension. The catch has a moment worth sharing. This is the fishing system your players will talk about.
Power Cast System- Hold to charge the power gauge — release at peak for a "Perfect!" timing bonus
- Perfect cast grants bonus distance and a Luck multiplier toward rarer fish that round
- Bezier arc trajectory — the line curves naturally through the air toward the water
- Raycast targeting indicator shows exactly where the bobber will land before you release
- All cast logic runs on the client for zero latency feel, validated server-side on land
Reel Minigame- On bite, a tension bar challenge begins — keep the fish inside the safe zone to reel it in
- Fish zone moves based on rarity: Common fish drift slowly, Legendary fish thrash and spike
- 5 difficulty tiers: Easy → Normal → Hard → Expert → Insane — assigned per fish in config
- Power rod stat determines minigame difficulty balance: higher Power = more forgiving window
- Control rod stat scales the player's green zone size — visible progression when upgrading rods
- Fail the reel → fish escapes, cooldown resets — every attempt carries real stakes
Cinematic Camera System- During cast and reel: camera zooms in cinematically, smooth and frame-by-frame at RenderStepped (60fps)
- During the wait: camera returns to free-look — players can turn around, chat, look at the scenery
- On bite: Smart Focus kicks in — camera gently rotates toward the bobber on its own
- All transitions are smooth — no jarring cuts, no camera snap
- Haptic feedback on mobile: phone vibrates on bite for console-feel response
Fish as Real Items- Fish spawns as a holdable Tool in backpack on successful catch
- Model scales to match the actual catch weight — big fish visually bigger
- Weight-based sell value: heavier catch = higher payout, formula runs server-side
Zone System- Terrain water and tagged Part zones both supported
- Per-zone loot pool, rarity weights, and fish list — all configured in FishData
NPC Sell Shop- Same system as Auto tier: tag-based NPC, live price display, sell one or all
- SellService.SetTransactionHandler for clean economy integration
- Extend Reward to grant EXP, update a bestiary, fire badges, or broadcast rare catches
Rod System (full stats)- Power (Number 1–5): sets minigame difficulty balance for that rod
- Luck (Number): multiplier for rare fish chance per cast
- Control (Number): scales the player's green zone size in the reel minigame
- MinigameEnabled (Boolean): override to skip minigame on any rod
- Recommended tiers included in config: Starter / Pro / Master / Mythical
Animation System- Full phase set: idle → charge stance → cast → wait → bite reaction → reel → catch
- Track cache prevents zombie tracks and memory leaks across sessions
- Smooth fade blending (0.3s) between all phases — no animation pop
- Phase guard: network latency cannot trigger wrong animation out of sequence
- R15 and R6 both supported
Multiplayer Social Sync- Other players see your bobber and fishing line in real-time (client-side Raycast, server-friendly)
- "!" billboard reaction visible to nearby players when fish bites — everyone knows you're fighting one
- Tackle instances cleaned up automatically — zero memory leak across sessions
Security- FSM prevents logic overlap — can't trigger reel while mid-cast
- Server validates: distance, cooldown, state, rod equipped — every action
- Anti-distance hack: if player warps away from bobber during reel, line breaks server-side
- Server-side loot and sell calculation — no client can fabricate fish data
- Remote throttling and self-healing state on unexpected errors
