@The Stig
what would the false positives be? "don't take dmg if attacker is player and inflictor is npc" seems like it'd just do exactly what you want and will catch any future cases

also it's not that the original barnacle addon made sure not to deal damage to the jester, it's that the jester role made sure the original barnacle addon didnt deal damage to the jester

if the jester role only checked for the crush dmg, then it was checking for crush damage, not barnacle damage, because if you wanted to explicitly check for barnacle damage then you'd check if the inflictor's class is the barnacle class

it's been a while so i don't remember exactly why i changed the barnacle dmg type from slash+crush to only slash, but iirc it's because the double dmg type was making it calculate the final damage amount in a strange inconsistent way, like it would usually deal 10% or 25% or whatever of the intended damage

It would work the same as other barnacles (e.g. pick up, but not damage jesters) if it didn't explicitly remove crushing damage. Out of curiosity, what's the reasoning for that?

I added ttt_tweaks_barnacles_ignore_jesters 1 to my tweaks and fixes mod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3101810034

If you install that mod, barnacles won't pick up jesters at all

Yeah looks like your suggestion is not happening, Nick replied with “There would be a lot of false positives”

Honestly the barnacle should ideally just not pick up anyone on the jester team at all

I guess even if your suggestion was done stuff like the shark trap still wouldn’t work because it isn’t an NPC

Seems like Mal wants the onus to be on weapons to make sure one’s like the barnacle deal damage the jester is immune to, the original barnacle did this

i will argue it's a fault with the jester role rather than with this addon

jester should simply check if the attacker is a player + if the inflictor is an npc

Anyway to mitigate that right now?

This version can kill jesters and causes them to win

Can you add a convar to make it so it can be lower opacity?

nevermind found the cvars but changes aint working lol skill issues on my part - philly_fail

i cannot find the configs for ttt_barnacle_ignore_owner 0 : Barnacles will not attack the player who placed them to save my life in my server
nor where to change its dmg
