Touhou Blaze Cat

Description
The Kasha, a cat youkai that stalks funerals to steal the corpse in a whirlwind. One famous Kasha is Orin from Touhou Project, who ferries corpses to fuel the Hell of Blazing Fires.

Mod Details.
There are two Kasha in this mod, one tailed ones and two tailed ones. The one tailed Kasha are like normal cats in most regards; however, they are more intelligent and about 50% stronger.

The two tailed Kasha are the main part of this mod. They are colonists and passively have the ability to take on a cat form. They have the speed and senses of cats, but their paws aren't as good at manipulation.

Given a bomb, they can teleport around and emit an explosion when they land. You can use this multiple times for one bomb. You are immune to damage from the spellcard buff, but any items you are wearing will still take damage.

Disclaimer: They are referred to as "Blaze Cats" a lot in the code. I don't know where I heard Orin called that instead of a Kasha, but I named a lot of the code as such.

Special thanks to the following people:
The jecstools team for their lovely ability features.
Jecrel, for the protean bat form ability. Cat form is a cousin to that.
erdelf, for HAR.
Brrainz, for Harmony.

And Zun, for making Touhou Project.

@TurtleShroom, I think you mean "Rule ⑨"

Ah, I see. There is a button like what you'd get with a psycast or other jecstool ability (Vampires, rim of magic, etc) and you turn into a cat until the effect wears off.

Hahaha no don't worry about it @catolord I thoroughly enjoyed that answer.

You should be proud of your work, I checked out other stuff on your workshop n it looks cool.

What I'm wondering tho is if there's some ui button to switch between cat mode n not cat mode.

Ah yes, Rule IX of the Internet: "if it exists, someone will eventually incorporate 'Touhou' into it".

You ever have a moment where something sounds great in your head but sounds really stupid when you actually say it? That’s how that first sentence was for me. I hope I answered your question though.

You probably don't want to know that, but I've worked on this for so long I am bound by pride to share my work.

In the simplest terms, the ability applies a hediff which then applies a flag to the comp that manages the abilities. Then a patch to the pawn renderer will check for the flag, and if it finds it, will render a cat instead of a pawn.

If you're looking to implement it yourself, I'd recommend looking at the protean ability from Rim of Madness - Vampires. as it is more versatile. Otherwise feel free to look into my code and see for yourself.
