This addon is no longer in development.
Thok is for nerds
I've been toying around with custom sonic and tails movesets for a while now. While they're unfinished and probably somewhat buggy, I thought I'd release this to explain what I think Sonic could look like without the thok. There's also a major tails rework / nerf, some knuckles adjustments, and some universal changes that affect all 6 characters. Amy, Fang, and Metal have not gotten changes yet. This is an unfinished proof of concept, and the code's messy as hell.
Console commands:
freeaim (on/off) - allows drop dash and double jump to be aimed in any direction instead of using the camera angle (default on)
uncurltoggle (on/off) - allows the player to press spin to uncurl instead of releasing spin to uncurl (default on)
Credits / Thanks:
- Drop dash sprites by DirkTH
- Loosely based off scripting by CobaltBW
- Sonic moveset inspired by the work of CobaltBW (Drop Dash and Double Jump) & Chrispy (Pointy Sonic)
All scripting is free to reuse. Please credit DirkTH if the drop dash sprites are reused.

Code:
Sonic:
Ability is now the double jump. It's no ordinary double jump though - there's some momentum redirection allowed. He can also perform a drop dash, and by charging for longer he can use a super drop dash or an ultra drop dash, which have even more speed.
Tails:
Ability is now 3 bursts of flight that allow him to gain height quickly and hover for a short while. His mobility may be reduced, but he now has the ability to enter a ball while flying, and has unlimited swimming. Overall, Tails is more agile while having less freedom to skip entire levels with ease.
Knuckles:
Tweaked the landing animation after a glide to be shorter and to not cut momentum very much.
Nerfed the height you can gain from gliding after a bounce
Spin characters:
Can recurl into a ball in midair by pressing spin
Can uncurl out of a ball on the ground by pressing spin
Buffed minimum spindash to 20
All:
Regain control shortly after being hurt
Can use jump abilities after hitting a spring, getting hurt, or walking off an edge
Refresh jump abilities after hitting an enemy
Reduced rebound from hitting bossesConsole commands:
freeaim (on/off) - allows drop dash and double jump to be aimed in any direction instead of using the camera angle (default on)
uncurltoggle (on/off) - allows the player to press spin to uncurl instead of releasing spin to uncurl (default on)
Monitor bouncing & dust devils don't refresh abilities
This will probably break some/all custom characters, I'm not sure
