Better Transformations

Description
What does this mod do?

It improves some of the Afterbirth transformations via lua script. Currently it affects the Bob transformation, the Oh Crap transformation, and the Fun Guy transformation.

Why?

They're really bad and boring transformations especially given their rarity.

What the mod does specifically

Bob transformation:
  • Immunity to explosion, creep and spike damage
  • Taking damage will make you spit up 1-3 Ipecac tears with random direction and velocity
Oh Crap transformation:
  • Immunity to red poop damage
  • Free Skatole and free Halo of Flies (the items will be re-added if removed or rerolled away)
  • A high chance upon first entering a room for non-special rocks to self-destruct and be replaced with any type of poop
  • A chance upon first entering a room for poop to be spawned on one or more empty tiles
Fun Guy transformation:
  • Every second, you will spawn 1-6 spore shots up to a maximum of 6 per room
  • These shots bounce around the room like Rubber Cement tears, each applying a different status effect and dealing half your tear damage per hit
  • Spore shots inflate over time and will burst into a poison cloud after a couple of seconds
  • Spore shots will inherit most tear effects with some exceptions

Each transformation edit can be enabled or disabled at the top of the mod script file.

Warning: When using more than one mod with damage callbacks (effects when something takes damage, in this case the player) conflicts can become very likely. Don't be surprised if you see some weird behaviour when using multiple such mods.

Derivative use
Please do whatever you want with this mod, but take note of any code that has been sourced from other mods and the licenses thereof (any such licenses are included with the code).

Guiiiiiz I don't know LUA and I need help if possible to do something with a custum character...

Is possible to make the new character start with alredy a transformation? That's pretty easy if I make him start the run with 3 object that give the choosen transformation but I want make him start as fun guy without giving him any mushroom items... Also I want change the original sprite of the transformation with a modded one if possible.

Think I found the problem - Multidimensional Baby making clones that never burst and bounce around forever. So I added an option to limit the spore range and make them burst on the ground instead. (Disabled by default)

well, i was trying to get screenshots of what would happen, but basically, the easiest way to see the effect is enable debug, give yourself "a dollar" on greed mode, and buy multiple items after giving yourself enough mushroom items to trigger "fun guy", continue buying items, specifically ones which alter how the tears work, and you'll see what I mean.

Can't get most of those to interact with the spores. Either it's a different mod causing the problem, or some more indirect thing I haven't seen.
Repentance does have performance issues with stuff like Trisagion wrecking the game but I don't see why the spores would be worse than normal shooting. They're basically just Rubber Cement + lots of range up.
In any case there's an option to turn the spores off in the mod file if you just want to get rid of them.

seems anything that is slightly resource intensive. mostly any of the techonology ones, brimstone, and bomb tear relates ones

Any specifics on the crashes? Character/tear effects?
This mod doesn't implement anything new so it's likely interaction related or a game bug.
