Skin tech, This summons several fake mech units that enemies will likely target instead of you when you uncloak
When you take damage you shoot out several distractions drones then enemies will retarget Requires dazzler, meta material cloaking, no other skin

This has minimal community feed back so it would likely need changes

I've looked into adding mobs distractions like this, but I gave up because it required a bit too much code to be rewritten.

Would you use it if I made a pull request to add support for alternate targets?

landgreen commented 5 months ago

It's not about the time it would take to write the code. Adding multiple mob targets would slow the game down, and making mob vision more complex has too many edge cases, so it wouldn't ever be perfect. Players would get confused by inconsistent and unpredictable mob behaviors.
