SnailMaster

Turn Scoutmaster into a immortal snail, that will chase you down until the end. Reach peak before he reaches you!

Features

• Grace period before the snailmaster appears (after it has been summoned).
• Configure climbing and walking speed of the Snailmaster.
• More behaviour configurations to tailor the experience of an entire group!
• Conch has some use apart from being a reference! (Go conch!)

Usage

Once you load onto the level, use nearest conch to summon the Snailmaster. From that point onward he will not dissapear and will chase players all the way to peak (or their death O_o). If configured to have teleportation (enabled by default), will teleport to targets as a form of catching up.

NOTE: I recommend enabling Photosensitive mode before starting the expedition to avoid effective blindness by the static.

Configuration

The configuration file will be created once you run the game with mod installed. Afterwards, you will be able to change the config in the mod manager of your choosing, or manually by editing the $PEAK_FOLDER/BepInEx/config/com.github.Kirshoo.SnailMaster.cfg file.

Configure grace period as well as how often Snailmaster will switch targets. For optimisation reasons, switching targets is limited to at the lowest of 5 seconds.

You may also configure the speed at which Snailmaster climbs and walks.

Configurations for TeleportDistance and TargetMode will allow you to tailor the behaviour of the Snailmaster.

MinSpawnDistance, MaxSpawnDistance and MaxSpawnHeightDifference will allow you to configure the area around the target player where Snailmaster is allowed to spawn in/teleport to.

Special Thanks

I would like to thank just a scout, Hungy, Liv and Manko for helping with the testing portion of the mod! Yall are the best!!!

Known Issues

If MaxSpawnHeightDifference set below recommended amount, Snail mode will get activated, but Snailmaster might not spawn.
