ShrinkerGun: COMPRESSOR

A shrink ray for R.E.P.O. Shoot anything to shrink it. Shoot it again to restore it.

Enemies, valuables, items, players -- if you can hit it, you can shrink it.

What happens when you shrink stuff

Enemies get tiny, squeaky, and mostly harmless. Their damage drops to 10%, they slow down, and their grab force goes to zero. That means you can pick them up. With your bare hands. And throw them at a wall. Or at your friends. A shrunken Huntsman is just a very angry football.

Valuables shrink down for easy transport. No more wedging that oversized painting through a doorway -- just zap it and toss it in the cart. Shrunken valuables stay small until they take damage (drop them too hard and they pop back to full size). They're briefly invulnerable after shrinking, so the scale change itself won't break anything.

Players can shrink each other. Tiny players get squeaky voices, big anime eyes, faster animations, and adjusted camera/collision so it actually feels right. Walk under doors you'd normally have to crouch through. Take damage to pop back, or press F10 to manually restore.

Items shrink too. Grenades get smaller explosions. Orbs get smaller radius. The gun itself can be shrunk by another player's shot (but won't shrink itself).

Why a shrink gun?

Shrinker cart mods like ScaleInCart and SylhShrinkerCartPlus are great for automatic loot management. The COMPRESSOR is a different flavor -- an active tool that gives you direct control, and works on more than just valuables. They pair well together.

• Shrink a valuable before you even pick it up -- carry it easily through tight corridors
• Shrink an enemy mid-chase and watch it become a squeaky little menace you can punt across the room
• Shrink your friend for laughs (they'll have a squeaky voice and everything)
• Shrink the extraction haul early so you're not fumbling at the truck

If you use a shrinker cart for fitting loot into the cart, the COMPRESSOR handles the rest: tiny enemies, shrunken players, scale control over anything you can shoot.

Configuration

All settings are in the ScalerCore config (ScalerCore.cfg), not ShrinkerGun's config. ScalerCore is the library that does the actual scaling.

See ScalerCore.cfg for the full list with descriptions.

Multiplayer

Works in multiplayer. All players need both ShrinkerGun and ScalerCore installed. Scaling state is synced via Photon RPCs. Players joining mid-game will see the correct sizes for everything that's already been shrunk.

Known Issues

This is v0.1.0 early access. It works, but expect some rough edges:

• Some enemies may sit slightly above or below the ground while shrunken (per-enemy tuning is ongoing)
• Player pupils may not always appear enlarged to other players in multiplayer
• Grab strength/range adjustments for shrunken items are still being tuned
• The gun is currently not animated (no custom model yet -- uses base gun visuals)
• Early access -- actively developed, bug reports welcome

Dependencies
