Cartridge's Drop Dash​



Section 1 - Introduction​
I know this move has been done many, MANY times prior. And I get it, you might wanna use Mania Drop Dash or Glorped's Drop Dash port, but at least give me a chance. Please??? Back onto the generic introduction, this addon aims to recreate the behavior of the Drop Dash seen in it's official implementations like Sonic Mania, Superstars, Origins, etc. I wanted to do this while having the ability mapped to the spin button, like how clairebun's Drop Dash did it, albeit using my own understanding of Lua instead.



Section 2 - How do I do it?​
According to my code, the only manner of performing this move is to press and hold the SPIN BUTTON mid-jump until the player is on the ground. Once the player has made contact on the ground, they will be thrusted according to their current angle into a spinning state. This can be chained multiple times as long as you still retain the jump state, allowing the player to retain a sense of flow. Video proof can be seen in GIF attachments of this functioning in-game and the official counterparts right below.
Official game (Sonic Mania):

My addon (in SRB2):

When revving up the Drop Dash, the ability to thok will be disabled. This is done so that the Drop Dash does not conflict with Super Sonic's float ability.
