Rocket, The Executives & Giovanni

Lots of new code to support the new rocket encounters, the executives, Giovanni and more

Rocket HQ

Lots, and I mean lots was added to the game for Rocket HQ.

Just code for the 3 Executives, Giovanni and Decoys, also a possible fix for the Ghost and Electric grunts having generic text

INVASION_GRUNT
INVASION_LEADER
INVASION_GIOVANNI

Handling the new invasion(rocket stop) types instead of only the grunts.

Looks like you’ll need to build, equip & consume a map to find the location of Giovanni and the Executives

Will add an icon over the affected stop similar to Pokemon tracking

Decoys

You didn’t think finding the Executives or Giovanni would be easy did you? Decoys are here to make your life more difficult/frustrating

RUN_GRUNT_DECOY
.get_IsDecoy
.get_IsExecutive
.get_IsGiovanni
isGiovanniDecoy

INVASION_RADAR_VIEW_OPENED
INVASION_RADAR_VIEW_CLOSED
INVASION_RADAR_VIEW_EMPTY
INVASION_DECOY_FOUND
INVASION_GIOVANNI_FOUND

You’ll be using this to find Giovanni (and hopefully not his decoy)
