LoreAccurateLightningStrike
Makes Valheim 1.0's Lightning Strike staff fire fast, accurate, crosshair-aligned bolts with configurable projectile speed and scatter.Lore Accurate Lightning Strike
Makes Valheim 1.0's Lightning Strike staff behave like a proper lightning thrower:
- faster projectiles;
- configurable projectile speed;
- configurable scatter, defaulting to zero;
- no random velocity;
- optional removal of the upward launch arc so bolts follow the crosshair.
The mod targets the staff's StaffThunderBlood runtime prefab and its projectile directly. It does not change damage, resource costs, attack timing, equipment, inventory, or save data.
Installation
Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager, or place LoreAccurateLightningStrike.dll in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/LoreAccurateLightningStrike/.
Requires BepInExPack for Valheim.
Configuration
After the first launch, edit:
Valheim/BepInEx/config/rook.valheim.loreaccuratelightningstrike.cfg
Important settings:
SpeedMultiplier: projectile-speed multiplier; default3.ScatterDegrees: spread in degrees; default0.DisableCircularScatter: disables circular multi-projectile distribution; defaulttrue.RemoveLaunchArc: removes the built-in upward angle; defaulttrue.
Multiplayer
This is a client-side firing tweak. Each player who wants the altered projectile behavior should install it. It does not need to be installed on a dedicated server.
Compatibility
Built for Valheim 1.0 and the StaffThunderBlood runtime prefab. Another mod that changes the same attack or projectile setup may override or compound these values.
