I'm trying to add compatibility with my companions mod, but there are some features that are getting in the way, and I'll explain why (sorry for the wall of text in advance):

The companions of my mod extends the Player object, and has a custom update script with workarounds to have them work.
For the mod to work, I need to set the companion temporarily as the player character in a number of cases, to make so some things like attacks and other things work (or else, they'd be treated like a multiplayer character that can't be touched on the client).

The video bellow showcases two issues (beside one I have no idea what causes) that I caught on the mod. First, there's that odd... Constant hitting sound, that plays for a while if I don't move the character.

The second issue, is that due to the Player Direction system in Overhaul, the companion can't turn by itself because it's set to always face the mouse (And the companion itself is programmed to have its internal mouse be placed in front of them when they're not in combat).

At least for the Player Direction case, I thought about having a flag attached to the ModPlayer that manages it, which can be flipped off to disable the feature for that ModPlayer instance (since the companions also have their own ModPlayer objects).

Or at least was the idea I had when checking the mod source, or at least unless a better idea shows up, but I don't think I can do that directly from my side.
