EnemyControl

Turn into the creatures of PEAK and play as them — while your scout disappears from

everyone's screen, not just your own.

Find a Magic Gem in the luggage, throw it, and it bursts: you become a random creature for

a minute. Or switch the mod to free mode and pick from a menu whenever you like.

What you can become

| Creature | How it plays |

| --- | --- |

| Scoutmaster | Runs, jumps and climbs walls. Reach out to grab a scout, then throw them off the mountain. |

| Mushroom Zombie | Runs, jumps and climbs. Lunge and bite; the spores do the rest. |

| Zombified Scout | The zombie a fallen scout turns into — same moves. |

| Beetle | Steer it and bonk anyone you get right next to. |

| Scorpion | Same, but poisonous. |

| Frog | Hops rather than walks — that is how PEAK moves it. The tongue plucks a scout right off the wall, up to 40 m away. |

| Bee Swarm | Free flight. The sting is a cloud, not a hit: float over someone and hold the attack key. |

| Condor | The bird that carries scouts off, new to PEAK. It cannot be spawned — the game has no prefab for it — so the nearest one on the map is borrowed instead and comes to you. You do not have to be in its biome: sleeping condors in parts of the mountain you have not reached count too. It goes back to its own circuit when you let go. Hold the attack key over a scout to snatch them, let go to drop them. |

| Gloom Ghost | The thing that hunts you in the Gloom. Flies, and holding the attack key charges it up until it detonates — let go in time and the charge is cancelled. Going off ends the shape. |

| Tornado | Drifts along the ground, stops at cliff walls, and throws players and loose items around inside it. Lasts a minute, then fades out like a real one and drops everything where it flies. |

Creatures that do not exist in the current biome — or a map with no condors on it at all — are greyed out in the menu rather than

hidden, so you can see at a glance what the level has to offer.

Two modes

Mode in the config decides how shapes are handed out.

Random (default) — no menu. Opened luggage and the chest at the scout statue sometimes

hold a die: a Magic Gem you can pick up, carry and throw. Where it lands it bursts and

turns the thrower into a random creature for 60 seconds, counting down in the HUD. The die

does not replace the normal loot, it comes on top of it.

Free — press F5, pick a creature from a menu, and stay in it until you drop it.

Controls

While you wear a shape the keys are listed at the bottom left. They follow your own key

bindings, not hard-coded ones, and the list changes with the creature.

| | |

| --- | --- |

| WASD | move, steer, hop or fly, depending on the creature |

| Space / Ctrl | jump — or rise and descend as the bee swarm |

| Shift | sprint |

| Primary use | attack: grab, bite, bonk, sting or tongue |

| Secondary use | throw whoever the Scoutmaster is holding |

| F5 | open the menu (free mode only) |

| F6 | drop the shape and return to your body |

| F7 | drop a die at your feet for testing (host only) |

| Mouse wheel | zoom the camera — all the way in and you look out of the creature's eyes |

Zoom all the way in for first person. The shape is then hidden for you alone, so it does

not block your view; its shadow stays, and everyone else still sees the creature as normal.

Climbing needs no key. The Scoutmaster and the zombies climb by walking into a wall,

exactly the way their own AI does it.

Range matters. Beetle and scorpion only connect right next to someone, the frog's tongue

needs a target in front of it, and the bee sting only affects whoever is inside the cloud.

The HUD says IN RANGE when an attack would actually land, so a miss does not look like a

broken button.

By default you reappear where the creature was standing. Turn ReturnToShapePosition off if

you would rather not let people ride a beetle up the mountain.

Multiplayer

Everyone needs the mod. The creature itself is an ordinary networked object, so people

without it would still s
