Description
Yondu's Descent
This is a mod based on the Yondu's Arrow mod I created a while ago -> https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3142396909
While originally I wanted to create a playable character for the arrow in that mod, since it felt more entertaining than having both tears and the arrow. But when I made the character I felt it would be boring if all he was, was a re-skin of Isaac with the arrow. Resulting in a bunch more synergies, manual control of the arrow, unlockable items and more.

Requirements
This mod was only made possible thanks to the wonderful script extension known as Repentogon. So for this mod to work you'll need to install it in your game as well.

Content
Become Yondu
Play as the character Yondu Udonta, from Guardians of the Galaxy with his iconic Yaka arrow and the fin to control it. As Yondu the Yaka arrow has two methods of control:


Automatic targeting, where Yondu whistles to make the arrow automatically target a single enemy.


Manually control, allowing Yondu to remove poops and other obstacles.




The arrow can only target enemies in sight, meaning that they have to be visible on your screen.
Furthermore the arrow deals damage based on speed, while Yondus stats alters it in the following way:

Tear Damage: Increases damage.
Tear Rate: Increases tick rate, and increases the maximum number of hits before returning.
Shot Speed: Increases the Acceleration and Max velocity of the arrow.

The arrow also has over 40+ different synergies, altering the damage and behavior drastically depending on your run.


Lastly Yondu has a special mechanic when playing as him, wherein he is guaranteed to receive one of the unlockables the first time he enters a secret room. Using his arrow you can unlock a chest which contains the Infinity Stone replicator, which replicates the infinity stones from killed enemies. Do watch out though, since getting hit will make Yondu drop some of the stones, and his bounty increases the more you pickup.




Unlocks
Yondu's headpiece {Moms heart} -> Unlocks the arrow control for other characters.
Found in the treasure room pool.
Trinket pocket knife {Isaac} -> Break or open locked chest by shooting them.
Bounty screen {Satan} -> Mark enemies that have bounties, killing them grants a reward.
Found in the shop pool.
Galactic Balance {Mega Satan} -> Cycle between three variants of stat equalizers, granting +% buff for the stat selected and minus for the others.
Found in the treasure room pool.
Infinity stone replicator {Delerium} -> Get more stats by killing enemies, but the more you gain the higher a bounty will be placed on you. When taking damage you drop some of the generated stones, but killing a boss without taking damage let's you keep them permanently.
Found in the Secret room pool.


Commands
If you just want to play with the mod and don't care for unlocking the items, or you've changed your mind about an unlock, use the following commands:

ydc unlock [achievement name]
- unlocks an achievement.

ydc lock [achievement name]
- locks an achievement.

ydc unlock
- unlocks all achievements.

ydc lock
- locks all achievements.

Closing remarks
I am sure when playing with this you'll find a bunch of bugs or problems with the mod, contact me and I'll look at fixing it.
Also I am by no means an artist, and I am especially not very good at pixel art, so if you feel like the art is simply unacceptable and want to improve it, contact me and I would be happy to see it improve.

Does it have mouse aiming support?

Ah that's a mistake on my end, I did not think the function through properly, I'll have that fixed shortly.

The fix to the mother knife scenario is not a fix. Yes you can use manual mode but it breaks alt items for other characters. Maybe an incompatibility with the mod that moves character active items to the alt slot, but your fix now overrides these items on other characters when exiting the chase sequence.

locked to manual mode is the right choice I think.
Also another issue though is that sequence results in the target cursor getting lost sometimes. It may be something to consider having the target cursor return to the player position on entering a new room

Thx for letting me know, I've added in a small fix for this scenario.
However due to the way the mother chase is setup I am unable to give complete access to the whistle piece during the chase, and instead Yondu is locked to only using the manual mode during the event.

Last night I ran into a bug where going into the mine chase segment (where you get the second key piece and lose all your upgrades) resulted in a soft lock since Yondu was set to automatic targeting. There was no way to switch him back to manual to pop poops.

:reheart:I love both of your mods, keep up the great work gamer :steamthumbsup::resmile::reheart:

after looking into it, it seems several of the synergies break when the game language is not English, thx for bringing this too my attention :)

Double checked in case, yes. Birthright works only if game language is English

I see, thank you i'll look into fixing as soon as I have time for it
