{DST} Caitlin: Four Characters in One (Bug Fixes)

Description
This mod fixes the bugs and glitches from the old caitlin mod.

Please note I do not own the original concept and coding of this mod. I just really enjoy the mod and saw that it was abandoned. So I would like to resurface it and give it some new light. The original mod belongs to Patriarachnid.

Also everyone is starting to copy my bug fix series which is kinda funny.

-- Original Descripion from Patriarachnid:

~SPECIAL ABILITY: Shapeshifting
A thing I've noticed a lot of mod characters do is have some sort of 'monster form', usually triggered by insanity or eating meats or some other thing. Caitlin does something similar, but with a few slight differences:
1) Instead of a measly one alternate form, she has THREE alternate forms.
2) She is able to switch between those forms and her 'normal' form AT WILL. You can switch forms whenever the heck you like. No waiting, no cooldowns, just transforming.

Caitlin can switch between her forms by using the Z, X, and C keys. This will equip the hat relating to the form, but also drain a portion of her hunger and sanity. Removing the equipped hat will revert her back to her base form.

When not wearing one of her custom hats, Caitlin reverts to her base form. In this form, she has 110 Health, 110 Hunger, and 100 Sanity, and has few extra perks besides a very slight speed boost. This is the only form where she can wear other hats, such as the Miner Hat, Football Helmet, or Beefalo Hat.

By pressing the Z key, Caitlin equips the Malignant Crown and enters her Speed form. In this form, she has 50 Health, 150 Hunger, and 150 Sanity. Her movement speed triples, allowing her to outrun virtually everything and kite like a pro, but she is also very easily killed, and is completely unable to craft anything.

By pressing the X key, Caitlin equips the Memento and enters her Defense form. In this form, she has 250 Health, 150 Hunger, and 50 Sanity. She becomes incredibly sturdy, taking half damage from all attacks and regenerating 2.5 HP per second, but she also becomes painfully slow, with half her normal movement speed, and only deals 3/4 damage when attacking.

By pressing the C key, Caitlin equips the Doctored Mask and enters her Attack form. In this form, she has 150 Health, 50 Hunger, and 150 Sanity. Her attack power quadruples, though at the cost of a halved attack speed. She is also completely unable to eat, heal, or sleep when in this form.

Switching between these forms comes with a cost, specifically to sanity and hunger. Make sure you transform wisely.


~Insanity
Due to her very tenuous grasp with anything resembling mental stability, Caitlin is very easily driven insane. She has a much lower sanity cap than any other character, and, in addition, drains it much faster. Much more than any other character, Caitlin will constantly be having to contend with the shadow creatures.

However, this isn't all bad. More exposure to shadow creatures means she can also gather nightmare fuel much more quickly than any other character, given she doesn't die in the process.

Think Nightmare Fuel isn't that great of a reward? Well...


~Nightmare Fuel and Hallucinations
Caitlin is able to eat Nightmare Fuel for fun and profit. Doing so will recover a decent amount of sanity, as well as a tiny amount of health and hunger.

She will also store any Nightmare Fuel she eats, and, upon eating six of it, will spawn a Hallucination that will help her chop, mine, and fight for a few days before dissipating.

However, beware; switching forms will reduce the amount of nightmare fuel she has stored by 1, so it's a good idea to stockpile nightmare fuel and then eat it all at once if you want to spawn a Hallucination.

And... that's about it. Have fun, and Don't Starve.

how i transform at first char with this mod?

Could her slow form just make her immune to extreme temperatures, and the health regen be removed? But to balance the nerf, her speed could be adjusted to where she can walk normal speed with a walking cane.

Caitlin is high risk high reward, so right now I have no balance changes in mind, but if I do balance her I would make it adjustable in the options so people could play the version they want. But nothing to anounce at the moment because I'm happy with her.
@alice if its shadow monsters its your sanity, if its her shadow minions then thats a bug.

Alice If you mean friendly hallucinations, then no.
Sue Caboose 11 Jul, 2018 @ 6:00pm 
I've noticed I actually spawn hallucinations from simply switching forms. Is this normal?

Pls when you want to balance her make an extra version
:)

I'd say that Caitlin is very fun. That's all that really matters to me. She is pretty balanced because i fail miserably often :P
