Cursed Scraps

Cursed Scraps is a mod inspired by Strange Objects, revisiting the original concept but with different effects. Special thanks to the author of this other mod for their original idea, which inspired me to create my own version.

Description

Some scraps may appear cursed, offering a more attractive price, but you will have to face this curse until you return to the ship. When a cursed item is picked up, the curse is shared with the player, but this doesn't prevent another player from acquiring the same curse if they pick up the same item later. The curse remains active until the player returns to the ship, where all curses are lifted if no cursed items are present in their inventory. Storing a cursed item in the ship removes its curse, but its price remains the same. New pills appear in the level based on the number of cursed scraps collected (configurable), using the asset of the classic pills from the vanilla game. These new pills are consumables that disappear upon use and have no monetary value. Their use removes all active curses on the player without the need to return to the ship, but they have no impact on the cursed scraps.

Curses

• INHIBITION - Prevents the player from jumping and crouching
• CONFUSION - Reverses movement controls and jump/crouch keys for the player
• CAPTIVE - Prevents the item from being thrown until it has been brought back to the ship
• BLURRY - Reduces visual clarity on the player's camera
• MUTE - Mutes the player's microphone
• DEAFNESS - Removes the player's sound
• ERRANT - Teleports the player randomly when an item is picked up or placed down
• PARALYSIS - Paralyzes the player when scanning an enemy
• SHADOW - All enemies are invisible by default (their sound is still active), scanning reveals them

More informations

I've tried to make the mod as optimized as possible with my knowledge. I'm far from being an experienced developer, so if there are people more comfortable than me who have feedback on my code, I'm open to it as it will help me improve. For any feedback/suggestions or questions, you can reach me on the 'Lethal Company Modding' Discord server (https://discord.gg/EgQFAq3z) under the same name. DMs are welcome.
