The Wish Hyphen you need!
[HIGHLIGHT] THIS POST AS OF WRITING THIS FEATURES 2 BUILDS: V1.3.6 AND VPRE2. PRE2 VERSION IS A PRE-RELEASE OF V2, ACCESSIBLE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMPUTER. I WILL UPDATE THIS POST TO BE V2 ONLY AFTER IT IS CONSIDERED TO ME AS FINISHED! [/HIGHLIGHT]
Welcome to the SASS of skincolors. In this post, you will find special, stretchy skincolor suits which probably were grabbed from a closet or something, and get to experiment with them while still having fun and going around with newfound abilities (ONCE YOU HAVE SKINABILITIES ON) hidden in them.
This pack includes three of colors, handpicked with first-time experience at Lua to get as stable of an experience as possible while possibly innovating new ideas into them (AGAIN, ONCE YOU HAVE SKINABILITIES ON).
SKINCOLOR LIST:
It features colors such as:
-Flowing Lava
-Bee Pattern
-Active Nitro
COMMANDS:
- skinabilities on/1/yes/true/default / off/0/no/false - Turn on or off skincolor abilities for these three specific SASS'.
Default value: on
How to tell: There will be a special icon at the top of lives icon, representing which SASS you got. Only available once you turn it on. Flowing Lava, Bee Pattern and Active Nitro get their special icons while others get nothing.
Who can modify this: Admins and Server
Syncing: This command will sync for everyone.
- skinban on/1/yes/true/default / off/0/no/false - Ban or allow skincolor choosing when skinabilities is on.
Default value: on
How to tell: You will be able to use the SASS colors no matter what.
Who can modify this: Admins and Server
Syncing: This command will sync for everyone.
- skinpickup on/1/yes/true/default / off/0/no/false - Enable or disable gaining SASS' through other means.
Default value: on
Who can modify this: Admins and Server
Syncing: This command will sync for everyone.
- skinvisuals on/1/yes/true/default / off/0/no/false - Turn on or off visuals for abilities present in SASS.
Default value: on
Who can modify this: Anyone
Syncing: No. Anyone can do this on their own.
Skinvisuals is the only command in SASS, where its value is saved in a custom config file, SKINVisuals.dat.
GAME TYPE SUPPORT:
When you have skinabilities on, you will oddly notice that when you try to select a custom skincolor, it will be banned. You can try to select it, but it will get you to a skin's preferred color with a prompt that it is not allowed to access SASS colors directly. This is because I brought in support in other means. If you die with a SASS color, you will go back to your skin's preferred color. And don't try to switch skincolors. That won't work.
If you have skinban off, you can select them just fine, either with skinabilities on or off.
SINGLE PLAYER/SPLIT SCREEN/CO-OP:
You can get skincolors by smashing badniks. At random, you will get a plate with an icon representing a specific SASS, the same ones in a HUD. Once you get them, you equip that skincolor.
RACE/COMPETITION:
Smash badniks and monitors to receive plates at random.
RINGSLINGER/TEAM GAME TYPES/BATTLEMOD:
Beat your enemies enough, and you will receive a plate from them. They spawn at random as well. It even works if they have a SASS color.
CERTAIN CUSTOM GAME TYPES:
For these, you are automatically banned from using skincolors, that is if you have banskins on.
ABILITIES (ONCE YOU HAVE SKINABILITIES ON):
GENERAL:
In general, these SASS' wielded here all have a passive ability, where you don't have to do much input, and a main ability, activated by a press of CUSTOM 1. They all vary in effect and some are more useful than the other ones. Regardless, they all are worth checking out. You are able to use your character's ability and a shield ability before, in-between and after the ability, so you can score some neat pathways. All of these can be affected by a super form and by being underwater, no matter if it is goop or water. And when you swing off a chain, you won't be able to use their SASS abilities until you reach the ground.
SPECIFIC:
Main:
Lava Burst: An ability where you can shoot yourself to the skies in a matter of a fast timer. With this one, you can do this if you let go of JUMP, but you can still do char abilities in between. Can be pressed out at any time and you get no ability to do it again, until you are no longer jumping.
Super Effects: Higher burst
Underwater effects: Lower burst
Passive:
For a passive ability, you get to protect yourself from lava and fire as long as you don't run straight into solid lava walls.
Main:
Bee Flight: It's really as obvious as it gets. You get to fly around a bit like a bee, for a short amount of time. Energy will be saved throughout the flight if you aren't doing it, as long as you are in the air, jumping. Once you no longer are, you can fly again with maximum energy.
Super Effects: Infinite flight.
Underwater effects: You can no longer hover and fly until you reach the surface.
Passive:
For a passive ability, you not only get a higher jump factor, but with a hold of a JUMP button mid-air, either while walking/standing/running/dashing or in jump, you can hover to the ground much slower and much more safely.
Main:
Bullet Charge: Halt your vertical momentum to blast through at crazy speeds never imaginable! Can be used up to 4 times. When not pressing any directional keys, your speed is slow, but once you press forward, then you blast. You mainly use the camera to control, but you can use directional keys to strafe, accelerate and brake a bit. When you stop, your momentum also stops, but you can still move right afterwards. When you bounce off a wall, you bounce with upward height.
Super Effects: You blast off much faster and bounce off walls way higher
Underwater effects: You blast off much slower and bounce off walls way lower
Passive:
You get to be faster in this skincolor suit, despite it not seeming like much. It will affect your game play a bit.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-You are pretty much warning yourself when using character wads/pk3s, mainly when you are pulling off a character ability in between a SASS ability. It shouldn't be much of an issue for the most part, but who knows what can happen.
PLANNED FEATURES IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE:
-Fix issues that are available,
-Make some accessories dependable on what kind of SASS you wear,
-More SASS,
-Optimize code (yes, I am putting it this low, but at least it is a consideration)
[highlight]For this one, I would have to need someone else. I'm not good at optimizing.[/highlight]

Q&A:
[highlight]-Why the name?[/highlight]
Special - it is special in regards to skincolors
Ability - they contain abilities in them
Skincolor - that's obvious
Suits - I once imagined it this way: Your skin's prefcolor was like, their natural color. The rest were like stretchy suits that fit them perfectly regardless of size. That's how I imagined it.
[highlight]-How come this is your first time doing Lua? It seems a bit too impressive to be true.[/highlight]
It actually is my first time using it. It's just that some experience with Clickteam Fusion managed to help me, even if it is by somewhat. And of course the scripting channel in the official server gave me help as well, despite lurking at solutions.
[highlight]-Why would you do this in the first place?[/highlight]
Because no one has done it before. I wanted to try my hand at this, making them somewhat like the fire flowers, just with more to them, and available to everyone under certain circumstances.Yes, sometimes it is that just you can do something doesn't mean that you should, but I thought it was neat at first. The main point of it was to open people's eyes and make them realize that they can do much more than what is perhaps needed.
[highlight]-Could I use this for something that I am doing?[/highlight]
Of course you can, you have my explicit permission to use them and edit them however you like, as long as you give credit.
[highlight]-Can I contribute to this?[/highlight]
Well as long as you have knowledge in Lua and spriting if necessary, sure. I don't see why not.
[highlight]-How can I contribute?[/highlight]
It's really simple enough. You can help me on doing the planned stuff above.
[highlight]-This seems a bit controversial to do so. Do you think that is a good idea?[/highlight]
If it wasn't then I wouldn't have sent this in the first place. I would have kept it somewhere and share it to only a couple of people. Well now it does seem like a good idea, does it?
