Remove the Homing attack

Rule 15: Don't ask people to make your mod for you.
I'm bringing this back for two reasons:
1) The homing attack is still getting me killed while I'm trying to double jump (or whatever the equivalent happens to be at the time).
2) Lach apparently had a solution, but refused to give it to me because they felt I was being lazy.
With that out of the way, here is my plea.
I need an addon that, if it had priority over characters with the homing attack, could remove the functions that make homing attacks possible in the first place. I understand that I could individually go in and delete/edit some files, but there are countless mods with this tacky addition and it would be far, far too tedious to do that. Such as:
Chaos Snap
Double Jump
Enerbeam
Wall Jump
I cannot currently make this addon myself, as I have recently moved and I'm still trying to get a new job and figure out my insurance. In my down time I have been playing SRB2 as a sort of emotional support, and the homing attack is the main thing that has been tainting my experience. Since 2.2, SRB2 has boasted the best Sonic physics to date, completely removing the necessity for automation seen in official games. I know people implement the homing attack in respect for those games, but when that directly disrupts the character's moveset on a situational basis it causes wild inconsistencies for no good reason.
 
Uh... why exactly would you want to remove the homing from these characters? You could just.... not play as them.

because everything else they provide is absolutely phenomenal.
Being able to use the iconic chaos control as a limited gameplay mechanic is not only validating but it's pure freedom
The werehog in general is probably the least interesting of the ones I listed but has lots of novelty
Grappling hooks are always cool as hell, nuff said
and being able to use the Boost in SRB2 is an absolute godsend which makes Modern Sonic hands down my favorite character of all time for this game.

But imagine having all of that only some of the time, when there are no enemies, springs or items around to stop your momentum and flow.
 
Sonic dosen't have a homing attack in srb2, he has a homing thok which dosen't aim
He was asking about mod characters. He did a thread like this a long time ago but he MUST have been salty the thread was locked due to him just being plain rude about it.

I suppose "salty" is accurate, but it's a bit shallow. I've got a busy life, I'm sorry I can't figure out how to do this on my own right now. I'd love to make mods in the future to tell the truth but I'm in a transitional period and simply can't.
 
Most of the characters that have a homing attack have it implemented differently between themselves in such a way that can't be circumvented with a single mod. Your request not only is unreasonable, but it's against the rules. I hope you can find some free time that will allow you to make it come true by your own hands, though - we're always ready to assist.
