🎯 Rescue Claw Crosshair Mod for PEAK

Make your Rescue Claw stand out! This mod changes the crosshair color when you aim the Rescue Claw at another player — perfect for quick target identification in chaotic climbs.

✨ Features

⚠️ Known limitations

Due to a feature of the game (a bug with colliders), when another player picks up a Rescue Hook, your sight ** may temporarily stop changing color** when pointing at it. However, the shot will still attract the player — the only problem is the display.

🔧 How to fix it (if the color has stopped burning)

• Remove the Rescue Hook from your hands and pick it up again — this will recreate the beam and restore definition.
• Ask the other player to remove the hook — the colliders will be restored and the color will work again.

💡 So far, I haven't figured out how to fix this. Perhaps if the developers fix it or find a solution in the future, the mod will work perfectly without changes.

🛠️ How It Works (for modders)

The mod uses Harmony to patch two methods:

1. RescueHook.GetHit – Detects whether the raycast hits another player.
2. GUIManager.SetReticle – Restores the color when the crosshair type changes.

It finds the active crosshair image inside reticleShoot (the GameObject used for shootable items) and changes its Image.color property.

// Simplified logic
if (aimingAtPlayer)
    crosshairImage.color = selectedColor;
else
    crosshairImage.color = defaultColor; // (0.8742, 0.8567, 0.7615)

🧪 Compatibility

• ✅ Singleplayer
• ✅ Multiplayer (client-side only)
• ✅ Other BepInEx mods (unless they heavily modify UI or RescueHook)
• ❌ Not tested with mods that replace the crosshair system entirely
