Better Voiding

Description
Better Voiding API and Mod

Better Voiding Mod
This mod is more like an esthetic Feature, than a new mechanic.
It turns every voiding item into a Better Voiding item. Better Voiding change the way you void items. Existing items can still void Collectibles, which the player is holding over its head and they do a lot more.
They also pay the nearest payable item to the player and then void it. There is also a Pre Voiding Animation added for each Better Voiding item. If you hold a Better Voiding item in an active slot and if it is fully charged, Pre Voiding Animations appear.
Pre Voiding Animations are spawned beneath each item, which will be voided if you use the Better Voiding item. So you see, it's very hard to mess it up and die, because you accidentally void a heart deal.

Better Voiding API
The main point of this mod is the API, which it offers to all other mods. It allows you to do a lot with pickups and simply create new Better Voiding items.
If you have already wrote a mod, which adds voiding items (Collectibles, Cards or Pills) and want to turn them into Better Voiding items, it takes only 1 to 2 lines of code extra to do so. The same goes for modders, who want specifically add Better Voiding items.
But this mod isn't only for voiding items. It provides a API for managing all types of pickups and in this version the main focus is the distance between entities and pickups.
If you want to start implementing the Better Voiding API, it's good to start by reading the Readme.txt in the mod folder or better take a look at my GitHub repository and read the REAME.md

Isaac: Four Souls
If you have Tabletop Simulator and want to play Isaac: Four Souls aswell. check out our Mod for TTS, which features a bunch of cool features to speed up some things and make it an even smoother experience. It also has a lot of fanmade expansions etc.

Bugs and TODOs
  • Restock doesn't work correctly if you void an item and then buy one
  • API: betterVoiding() doesn't trigger room-effects like challenge rooms and bossrush

Notes
  • If you pay "Flip"-Pickups with your Better Voiding item, the spectral version stayes behind the pedestal. This is a Bug of the original game. For example if you use Coupon on a "Flip"-Pickup, it's the same.

It was thought as an api for custom voiding items. Items which remove another item in the room and do something with it. It also features some tiny changes in the void mechanism (For example for the original voiding items it will now void the item which is closest to the player). If this didn't help you or you want to know more you can accept my friend request.

i am having a hard time understanding what this mod does can someone help

That is weird. But i haven't touched this mod since forever, because I couldn't really fix the flip item bug and I think shop restock problem, too. I don't know if it is interesting for you. But originally I planed to make a character mod which had used this mod/api alot. But I never came to that :D

hey so, found a bizarre bug: exiting and re-entering a run causes the void/black rune stat ups to apply twice and also give you buffs when voiding active items

I want to ask if there will be an option to void everthing if you are far enough to a pedastal

Finally I found a way to fix the flip bug. Maybe I can change some other things that i dislike too. The update will come in a few days ;)

Thanks for reporting. I tested a little bit, but I haven't find a solution sofar. But I will fix it, as soon as possible.:penny:

With the 1.7.5 update, this mod makes the new Flip lose it's effects of having the second item pedistal. Just passing on the info to you pal!

Oh i didn't know that :D. Thank you. Then it is only a cosmetic mod
