The current sprite of the Force came from super R-Type. Make one instead of getting the sprite from the game.

https://github.com/cheeeeeeeeeen/Chens-Gradius-Mod/blob/master/Sprites/ForceSheet.png

Use this as basis.

Consider making it smaller than this too.
Smaller, as in maybe 4 or 6 pixels short.
remember that this is 2x
the original size is divided by 2, nearest neighbor algorithm when resizing

The mod will not have an official release until this issue is sorted out.

Add a sound effect for equipping options.

https://discordapp.com/channels/601620022632120370/624169115854176276/626609025160839179

This is the planned sound effect.

• When attached, the Force must stick to the player's either side.

• When being pulled for attachment, the Force will ignore any tiles and will slowly go near the player

• Touching the Force will attach it to the player.

The options will bug out if they aren't equipped in the correct order.

1, 2, 3, 4 - Correct
4, 3, 2, 1 - Only one option is deployed
1, 3, 2, 4 - 3 options, third option missing

... But only lasers and it hurts the player. :)

Bit Devices are from R-Type. They are smaller versions of the Force.

• They hover above and below the player
• Only max of two is allowed
• Sensitive to Terrain
• Contact damage
• Support fire?

Self explanatory title

This causes bugs as the Forces will behave weird.

For now, the workaround is to unequip all embryos, and the equip one. Equipping two will not spawn the other force as expected.

This will be patched on the next major update.

The attack power of the Force should be based on the held weapon of the player.

Implement the Needle Force.

• Behaves like the regular Force
• Different Attack Pattern
• Detached 360 attack pattern switches direction on reattachment

Implement the Option with rotate mode from Gradius V.

• When holding hotkey, all options will gather in front of player.
• Once all options are gathered, the first option will move in rotation, then followed by the second, then third, then fourth.
• Releasing hotkey will stop them in their position.
• The algorithm to make them follow a flight path again must be devised: and they should not snap positions.
• Toggling again in the hotkey switches rotation direction.
• Make the rotation faster by not waiting for options to line up.
• Assign proper recipes

Implement movement of Options to copy the player.

Implement The Force from R-Type.

Related Issue: #1

Implement the attack patterns to copy all player projectiles.

This is hard to implement, and may be cancelled. See more information in #1.

Implement Option's freeze mechanic from Gradius V into the mod.

• Hotkey dedicated for Option actions (including other upgrades)
• Freeze behavior when option key is pressed
• Allow it to be an acquirable upgrade
• Limit Options to only be equipped under one mode, and none other.

Rainbow gun projectiles doesn't move away from the option.

Title says it all.

Title.

Ideas:

force available post brain/eow
option 4 is available post plantera
option 3 is available with hallowed bars
option 2 is available after wall of flesh
option 1 is available after skeletron

Sadly, this is just still an idea, but reference is the key.

Sprite for the Needle force.

Here is a basis:

Multiplayer issues of desync. It is automatically happening due to not implementing sync code.

• Force is not updating its state on other players
• Options are not updating their state on other players
• The options duplicate shots
• each option seems to have a secondary option on the others screen and these options shoot 1-3 projectiles instead of just 1

Some of these might not be sync issues

Title is self explanatory.

Sprites for the Options.

The position of the options are not actually centered on the player.

Match them according to rarity in terraria wiki. each color has a progression meaning.

Freeze options currently do not require their predecessor as ingredient!!!

The force battle mode is only triggered when the player hits an enemy.

It can stay this way, but a better implementation would be to let it be in battle mode when the player swings their weapon.

A Temporary force accessory to allow toggling of the Force.

There will be other plans for it in the future.

Implement Normal Missiles from Gradius. They should crawl on the ground and are able to damage enemies.

Implement the movement behavior of the Force.

2 types of movement: Detached Mode and Attached Mode

• Detached Mode (#21)

  • it is where the Force attempts to stay a distance away from the player.
  • It has it's own movement pattern:
    • X coordinate is always updated first
    • When the X Coordinate is equal to the specified, or correct, distance, then the Y coordinate will be updated.
    • The Force cannot move diagonally, except when launched for detaching or pulled for attaching.

• Attached Mode

  • It is where the Force stays near the player, either on the left or right depending on where it is touched for attaching.
  • The Force copies and stays on their position until detached

• From Attach to Detach: The player must Launch the Force and the Force will attempt to go launch itself horizntoally, ramming enemies in the process.

• From Detach to Attach: The player must move closer to the Force and touch it. The player may also Pull the Force closer to them.

Some of the static variables are better off being a constant.

Bullets and arrows that generate projectiles are generated by options as well.

FreezeOptionBase.cs has a bad namespace...

As stated in #20...

• Properly set X coordinate movement
• Properly set Y coordinate movement

The Victory Viper armor set should be a set that is upgradeable to scale as the game progresses.

The main feature of the set is to avail the Power Meter system (#18)

Sprites are needed for this one. (#13)

Inventory sprite for the Needle Force.

The regular Force uses a Bydo Embryo sprite by @cheeeeeeeeeen

Here is the file for Bydo Embryo:

This happens in the crafting menu and it returns an exception.

The NPC projectiles will be generated by the Options.

• Direct contact
  • Any enemy who comes in contact will receive damage.
• Long Ranged attacks
  • Attached Mode: Forward light bullets
  • Detached Mode: 4-way light bullets
    • This also includes:
      • Pulling Mode
      • Launching Mode

Self explanatory title.

Any enemy projectiles should be killed by the force.

This is to allow inheritance of different forces with the same behavior.

Unequipping the 2nd Option accessory retains the second option on the field. Only by removing the first option can all options be removed.

Option projectiles may drop ammo.

Weapons that spawn that has an offset still spawn at the center of the option.

Implement an 'object' that behaves the same as the Option/Multiple from Gradius.

I want the inventory sprites to be different.

Like it is an actual drone. Rotate, regular and freeze options will have different sprites.

Their numbering should also be in the sprite.

For example,
Freeze option will have an inventory sprite.
Rotate option will also have its own inventory sprite.
These sprites will be used for their 1, 2, 3 and 4 versions except what differs now is the numbering.

Options will not do anything if specific items are used.

This exists because of #10.

Rainbow Gun might also be banned from the bugs it generates. (#6)

Source of problem:

The Options do copy even modded projectiles from other mods, which is great. This comes with a cost, however. Due to mod creator's unique way of coding projectile code, the options may not behave properly, and may duplicate and copy generated projectiles created by another friendly projectile.

Implement a Power Meter System for those who have the Victory Viper Set.

The Force, when launched, should stop on any wall. It should also stop when it hits an enemy.
