5. Basic Variables to Edit

   While you click into this behaviour, you may be a bit confused. There is too many variables! If you are new to knockback, It is not necessary to understand every variable, there is 4 variables being the most important! Which is Horizontal, Vertical, Extra Horizontal, and Extra Vertical. So let get a basic understanding to these variables.

   Horizontal means the knockback amount it does for X, Z. If we set Horizontal to very high, and You hit the player who applied with this knockback profile, the player will knockback backward very hard! On the opposite, If you set Horizontal to 0, the player will not move backward at all.
