- Rename to Lightning Shield (it keeps fucking me up when I want to kartgiveitem it to myself)
- Fix inflictors causing damage being considered damage hitlag. Fixes the player using Lightning Shield being in damage hitlag state (most notable in the DI branch because hurting someone with it lets you DI afterwards, which also fucks with your turning)
- Rewrote attack function to use custom blockmap search instead of P_NukeEnemies.
- It can no longer attack below you, only above & around you.
- Increased the attack radius, so that it actually lines up with the sprites...
- Fixed extremely inconsistent ring blockmap search by moving it to playerafterthink (don't ask me why)
- Rings get joulsted by Lightning Shield when you pass by them without
- Added MAXRADIUS to the blockmap checks for lightning shield & mines, to reduce blockmap inconsistencies
Pretty much just copy+pasted from Snap the Sentinel!!
- Hold left/right to adjust the momentum angle after hitlag, up to 22.5 degrees. (Only angle can be adjusted, so you can't adjust your speed, only your direction.)
- It's relative to your angle, so sometimes you need to use forward/back, or even diagonals (forward/back throws now store full analog data for this to work)
- Bananas flip DI direction, to make them not baby easy mode
- Tumble has x3 DI (so angle adjustments of 67.5!!), and hitlag on each bounce to allow even more control.
- You flash white while in invincibility
- Invincibility is not rainbow UNTIL you go above the initial timer.
- Increased visibility of the shield effect around invincible players.
- Invincibility sparkles have trailing afterimages.
- Disabled invincibility speed lines; they now use the normal speedlines but grey/rainbow. (The code/sprites will be used for something later.)
- Using invincibility adds time, instead of setting it.
- Player hitbox is finally bigger, to actually match the shadow size.
While I finally pushed to do this because of the epic Blue Sphere reference, I was kinda thinking about doing this for a while, because it gives more room for bots to level up during Hard GP.
I thought about just making the new level cap go up normally, but I decided on keeping the bots' passive buffs (like top speed & ring boosts) go up linearly, while rubberbanding range is kept the same.
I don't think I can properly explain it, but this basically means level 13s are a touch harder than old level 9s before, and new level 9s are touch easier than old level 9s. Basically think of it as more level range than actually making the bots harder.
The expanded range means that Hard GP can start off easier, but end harder. (And of course, Master is even more ridiculous c:)
* Fix majority of Battle resyncs.
* Change how Paperitem spawners work. Instead of rerolling the RNG if a map spot is already used, maintain a list of available spots...
* Correct over-the-network type of player->spheredigestion.
* Remove the condition that prevented the spheres' spawnpoints from being sent over the network, which meant they were only respawning on the host's end...
* Fix itemroulette on Battle playerarrow. (Rarely seen these days but still possible to observe as spectator for Break the Targets)
* Change draw order of Position Faces and Tab Rankings to allow for players' numbers to draw on top of the big out-of-bumpers X.
