Jacob and Esau Auto Aligns!

Description
Being annoyed when Esau separated far away from Jacob just because of a tiny rock? Don't want 2x hitbox when facing boss on the side?
Now they automatically aligns when shooting tears! Along shooting direction!
  • By default, when Jacob & Esau comes closer than 150 pixels, and being shooting, they will aligns (by attracting each other). Won't align when not shooting.
  • Keep shooting at one direction for 1.8s (like Epiphora) will make Jacob & Esau rotate to align along the shooting direction, Jacob in the front (press H key to swap Esau to front). Won't align if player is moving.
  • Original game supports holding Ctrl (drop button) to move Jacob only (keep Esau standing still), this mod additionally support holding Alt to move Esau only (keep Jacob standing still).
  • To change these default settings, behaviors, and key bindings use Mod Config Menu.
  • See also my another funny J&E mod Jacob Esau Individual Death!

If you're still updating the mod, could you make it so that Jacob remains shooting when he is being held in place and Esau is moving via Alt? As of now, Jacob just stops shooting when you independently control Esau. I'm not entirely sure how your code works to prevent Jacob from moving when Alt is held, but what I would do to handle the separate controlling of them is to use the MC_INPUT_ACTION callback instead.

Hey guys! No need to modify save1.dat anymore, I just added MoveEsauBtn/SwapFrontBtn bindings for controller users, as a alternative for MoveEsauKey/SwapFrontKey. These two bindings are 'None' by default, you may customize it in MCM.
@bear rye your issue seems due to division by zero error resulting in NaN, making Jacob and Esau stuck in the bottom right corner and unmovable, which hopefully have been fixed in this version now.

Not sure if its the settings, but I just had a boss room teleport me into the bottom right most pixel and cause me to take dmg every frame I could. I refused to use telepills to get out, but it seemed to think I was still in the same spot damaging the boss. My settings are: Align 6, Force 30, Shoot 0, Jacob True, Outer 400, Inner 2, Only Align True, No Shoot False, Decouple True. Maybe the inner being too small made it teleport?

Is it possible to add a setting so that if we have Jacob in Front set to False (Esau is in front), then the held drop key will move Esau and halt Jacob instead? I think that is what the "Decouple" option is for but I'm on controller and it didn't seem to change any behavior. Also appreciate @[ ] for the file save for controller left stick to allow the swap.

@Bizzle You can add The Binding of Isaac Rebirth\data\jacob_esau_auto_aligns the save1.dat file SwapFrontKey in aligns to 10 (L)

Very good mod. Only complaint I have is that the bomb keybind for controller (LB) is the same as swapping positions.
If you could make it so pressing down on left stick swaps their position that'd make using this on controller a lot better.

And i find this mod after fully completing jacob and esau NOW??!?!??!?!

Mod feels great, makes it much easier to play for the most part! Switching who is in front is a bit uncomfortavle to do obsessively like I do, and it's not easy to do on a steam deck. Could you possibly add an option to dynamically decide who goes in front based on who's closest?
