RegionConsumptionUI

Overview

Star-bar showing local demand (outline halves) versus current supply (filled halves). Overflow supply halves are tinted by the selected personality color (Mobster/Schemer/Subterfuge). An optional prediction mode pulses the halves that would change if an event response is applied.

Serialized

• Sprites leftStarUnfilled, leftStarFilled, rightStarUnfilled, rightStarFilled
• IntVariable selectedPersonality; ColorConstant mobsterColor, schemerColor, subterfugeColor
• (Optional Prediction) FloatEvent predictionEvent, bool isPredictor, pulseEffectTime, pulseEffectMin

Baseline Painting

UpdateUI() computes halves:

• supply = floor(SupplyPerTick * 2)
• demand = floor(LocalDemand * 2)
  For each half from left to right:
• i <= supply → filled; color = personality color when i > demand (overflow), else white.
• supply < i <= demand → unfilled outline.
• i > demand → hidden.

Prediction Mode

When isPredictor and a non-zero delta arrives via predictionEvent:

• Repaints the baseline, then pulses:
  • The gain/loss region between current and predicted demand (only where visible).
  • Any supply halves whose overflow status would change.
• Pulsing is an alpha-only SmoothStep Ping-Pong between 1.0 and pulseEffectMin over pulseEffectTime.

Cleans up by unregistering the event and restoring alphas on destroy.
