* Heretic Ascension Tweaks (#78472) ## About The Pull Request Some changes to Cosmic and Knock heretic ascensions, in response to feedback. - Cosmic Heretics can no longer control their summon while jaunted. - Additionally the death link element the Star Gazer used... wouldn't work if there was more than one cosmic heretic. I refactored it into a component, so that it would. Frankly there are probably a lot of _other_ abilities which shouldn't be usable while jaunted but are, but I have been burned in the past by adding defaults which were applied too widely so we'll leave it case-by-case for now. - The Knock rift can no longer summon Flesh Worms of any kind. - But it _can_ summon fire sharks (we really need to reflavour these...) and any future "basic mob" heretic mobs (or ones which are converted). - Additionally the rift can't be clicked by ghosts while it's polling ghosts automatically because that would create funky empty-minded mobs. - Finally it goes away when the heretic dies. ## Why It's Good For The Game For Cosmic Heretics, controlling the Star Gazer in conjunction with Space Jaunt essentially meant that the heretic was playing an RTS as an invincible observer with an invulnerable unit, now they have to actually be present and killable in order to sic The Beast on you. For Knock Heretics, Minor Flesh Worms are a proof of concept which was never meant to be used except by admins. They're _barely_ weaker than a normal flesh worm, extraordinarily tanky, delete walls, and generally devalue the Flesh path ascension. Vanishing upon heretic death is because every _other_ ascension is at least theoretically stoppable except this one. Now this one is too. It's still _very hard_ to kill the heretic because every _10 seconds_ they can transform into a heretic mob which acts as an extra health pool. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: If two cosmic heretics ascend in the same round, their star gazer survival will be linked to each individual heretic and not shared by just one of them. fix: You can't click the Knock heretic portal to join as a mob while already signed up to become a mob. balance: Cosmic heretics can't order the Star Gazer around while jaunting. balance: The Knock Heretic portal cannot summon Flesh Worms, but can summon Fire Sharks. balance: The Knock Heretic portal will disperse if its creator is killed. /🆑 * Heretic Ascension Tweaks --------- Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com>
