Toss a Tick

Toss a Tick 🕷️

Version 1.0.0 — Pick off a tick, throw it at a friend, watch it stick.

A host-only prank mod: throw the tick item (Bugfix(Clone)) at another player and it attaches like a normal world tick — poison, removal, and all. The thrown world item is destroyed on a successful hit.

The host must have this mod. Other players do not need it to receive a thrown tick. Clients may install it (e.g. shared profiles) without breaking anything; throw logic only runs on the master client.

Works with PEAK Ticks (optional): when the host has both mods and PEAK Ticks gameplay is active, thrown ticks follow PEAK Ticks attach rules (multi-tick limits, bodyparts, growth, poison, etc.). Without PEAK Ticks, attaches use vanilla rules (one tick per player).

🛠️ Features

• 🎯 Throw-to-attach — hit a player with a picked-off tick; it attaches and the thrown item is removed
• 👑 Host required — master client handles throw detection, attach, and cleanup
• 🤝 Clients optional — it changes nothing!
• 🔗 PEAK Ticks compatible (optional) — respects host PEAK Ticks rules when both are installed and authorized
• 🐛 Debug logging — optional BepInEx logs for throw hit detection (off by default)

⚙️ Config Options

Config file: BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Toss_a_Tick.cfg

Only the host’s settings matter for gameplay. Client config entries are ignored unless that player is host.

🎮 How to use

• Get a tick on yourself and pick it off.... or pick one off a friend
• Throw at another player’s body
• On hit: tick attaches, thrown item disappears, vanilla poison/attach sync applies

Multiplayer tips

• Best tested with you as host and the mod installed
• Any player can throw; the host’s game resolves the attach
• With PEAK Ticks on the host, thrown ticks obey the same limits as vegetation/world attaches
