Better Attack

Tired of hunting down enemy pixels while they fly around?

This mod helps with that, though you still need to at least see the enemy to land a hit.
I created this mod for myself and my friends so we could play comfortably without feeling like we were playing an FPS.

Now you can too!

Description

 

Hits are now registered within a cone-shaped area in front of you.
Priority is given to the enemy closest to the crosshair within that area.

By default, the detection angle is 45 degrees from your crosshair.
If the crosshair turns red, it means you can hit the target.

The character also turns toward the target of the attack.
By default it's ON

Version 1.2.3 You can now strike and interact with enemies through any passable blocks, such as grass, plants, and foliage.

How to change

To change the angle, simply type the command ".betterattack #" into the chat. Replace "#" with any value from 0 to 45 degrees.
If you enter the command without a number, the current angle will be displayed.
"0" means playing as if the mod were disabled, while "45" covers practically the entire visible area, so there is no point in going any wider. It's just a slight aiming assist.

The specified angle will be saved only for the current world.

To turn off/onn rotation, enter ".barotate #" and replace "#" with 0 or 1.
0 – OFF, 1 – ON.
If you enter it without a number, the current state will be displayed.

As with the angle, the value is preserved only for current world.

Config

 

After first launch you can find the config file at "C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\ModConfig\betterattack.json"

Please note that targeting does not apply to tamed animals, animals of the first generation or higher, or players.
