This is all the visual effects and item logic of the Top
minus (almost all [1]) physics adjustments when a player is
riding one.
While on a Top:
- Otherwordly humming while floating
- Cannot drift [1]. Instead, holding drift begins grinding
the Top into the ground -- sparks fly out
- Sprite tilts left and right as you turn
- No wheel screech when turning too far
- Speed lines while holding drift
- Tripwire Boost effect scales to cover you AND the Top
- One hit and you lose it
- Throwing forward, getting hit or just losing it because
you were in first place for too long: the Top flies out
from under you and begins snaking like crazy
- Throwing backward also makes the Top fly out from under
you but it also thrusts you forward. The Top dies
instantly so it's not dangerous ;-)
- If you're in first for too long, it begins vibrating
- If you tumble, it dances across your entire screen
A loose top will tumble anyone it hits.
- Explosion strength scales with how long you've been outrunning it. 0 seconds is even more punishing than it was before, while surviving 60+ seconds converts the damage into minimal stumble.
- When it starts properly chasing a new target, it will be intangible for 1 second
- Hot potato takes 2 seconds instead of 7
- Too much hot potato will make it run ahead & explode (untested)
- The pain + hit confirm delay is done for all players, instead of only the damaged player.
- The player who got the hit also gets to hear their pain sound at full volume.
- Changed the code so that your hit confirm sound effect will no longer be interrupted if the player who got hit left the game.
"cheats" is a proper cvar now. Enabling it allows for cheats to be used any time, even in multiplayer, and disables gamedata saving. Turning it off undoes as many cheat commands as reasonably possible. Based a little bit off of some vanilla work I also did.
Many cheat commands are still SP-only, but can reasonably be allowed in netgames now if a net command is created for them.
- No more instant fuck you button. You charge up a meter instead by holding down attack, and let go to fire as many as you charged up. Tapping fires one out of five, holding for the entire duration shoots out all five like before, but anything inbetween is also possible.
- Ballhog projectiles scale up over time (like Contra spread shot), to help make it stronger again after players started getting faster.
* Allow colorisation types to not completely crowd each other out.
* For example, it's possible for invincibility + grow to flicker Invincibility, Eggman mark, and grow colours if the conditions for each type of flash are true on different frames!
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.
