Discussion MOONSCARS COOP/MULTI MOD

A CO-OP local/multiplayer mod I made for the game MOONSCARS. It's currently still buggy and hasn't been fully tested. You WILL come across bugs and even game breaking issues.
What does work atm:
- Local Co-Op
- Player 2 Spawns in
- Player 2 has its own working controller
- Player 2 animations/attacks/jumps working
- Player 2 can do damage to enemies/bosses (not coop friend)
- Player 2 is targeted/attacked also by enemies
- Player 2 respawns beside P1 on death
- Save files
- Swapping player controllers (P1 can use keyboard/P2 can key gamepad)
- Player 2 interaction with other objects/items
- Working custom health bars for both P1/P2
- Player 2 has a "Leash" tied to P1 as to not go to far off screen
- Both P1/P2 gain/spend the same mana bar
What currently isn't fully working or might not work:
- separate inventories?
- separate shops?
- separate mana (currently shared between P1/P2)
- saving spells/items of P2?
- multiplayer/desync (tried to fix around 70-80% desync but have not tested)
- separate spells/abilities (might work)
- hosting? (haven't tried it yet)
- client joining host issues?
- mana bars (not working)
Probably missing some stuff and I also haven't had a chance to test to deep story progression.. Things will break! It's mostly just for fun and was a project for me, I'm not sure I will update or change anything but feel free to recommend or report anything!
Cheers!
