HazardChaos

HazardChaos (PEAK) – v0.1.9

Spawns Dynamite, Tornado, and Tumbleweed dynamically near players, optionally hands Tornado control to the game’s AI, and shows per-type spawn timers. Runs only in Level_* scenes (e.g., Level_1) — not in Airport/Title/Pretitle.

Features

Per-type schedulers: Independent intervals, TTLs, and caps for each hazard.

Smart placement: Forward cone from the chosen player anchor, ground raycast, collision-safe; optional line-of-sight.

Multiplayer-aware:

Host (MasterClient) performs the spawns → all clients see them.

Anchor selection modes to choose whose vicinity to target.

Optional capacity scaling per additional player.

Tornado AI hand-off: If the vanilla TornadoSpawner + RPCA_InitTornado path exists, the game’s AI takes over; otherwise the mod’s mover is used.

Burst spawns: Configure how many Dynamite/Tumbleweed to spawn at once per tick.

Grace period: Optional protection window after level load before any timers start.

UI:

Overlay with three independent timers (one per hazard), live counts, status (F9 toggle).

Optional version watermark on menus/in-game with position/size/margin/alpha (F10 toggle).

How it behaves in multiplayer

Only the MasterClient (host) schedules & spawns hazards.

Spawn positions are chosen near an “anchor” (configurable): host camera, random player, round-robin across players, or nearest to host camera. All players are affected by spawned hazards; spectators are handled via camera anchor.

Note on weights: Weights.ChanceDynamite/Tornado/Tumbleweed exist for future features and debugging but are not used by the per-type schedulers.
