timer starts on the first frame in which the character turns right, end when the final cutscene begins (assuming i understood the rules correctly at least) also, here's some combat tips while im at it: -throwing your weapon at a locking in shot enemy will disable the locked on shot (they cant shoot without a gun, shocker!!!) -health gain is based on both your damage and overall movement (dont quite know to what degree just yet though) -the lower your health is, the more you should hold down the damn trigger, you've got nothing to lose but your (IN THE VIDEOGAME) life, after all. -the pitch of your gunshots gets higher as the gun runs out of ammo. so pay attention to them ears.
