ShieldManager MonoBehaviour
Overview
The ShieldManager behaviour is used to track a character's energy shields. Shields completely absorb damage via the ShieldedDamageHandler and ShieldedArmouredDamageHandler, but are depleted in the process. A character's shields are split into steps. The steps automatically recharge if partially depleted after a short delay. If a shield step is completely depleted, then that step is broken and will not recharge. You will need to collect a ShieldPickup to restore broken steps.
