Ivan v2 Ideas

[leggettc18]

• Ivan shoots arrows, boomerangs, etc in the direction of the nearest enemy. A small arrow should be over the head of the enemy, probably in Ivan's colour. This could even be a button that turns on Ivan targeting mode.
• Ivan shoots arrows, boomerangs, etc in the direction of the enemy that Link is targeting.
• Maybe a setting for Ivan on which targeting mode he uses.
• Be able to turn off friendly fire with Ivan as an option.
• Ivan should be able to use any item Link currently has, whether or not Link has it equipped. We might need something like a modifier button to go to "page 2" for this.
• Implement more ideas for actions for Ivan.

I'm not sure about the friendly fire toggle, since looking at how Ivan spawns "harmful" actors (i.e., bombs) reveals that by the time damage is dealt, whatever is dealing it is divorced from Ivan. Additionally, items like the arrow actor from nuts/bow/slingshot already doesn't check against the player's collision, so they do nothing to the player.

Good point, it was just a thought! I'd say we can remove that idea.

This seems like a great place to add the Roc's Feather mod. In fact, we could have it span beyond the C buttons and have A on Ivan's controller make Link jump.

A and B are used to adjust Ivan's Y-pos, actually. Plus, it'd make for a more interesting use for Nayru's Love since current behavior replicates normal spell use (invulnerable to damage but not to knockback).
The only thing that might make it messy is the complexity of the actual functionality compared to his effects for the other spells which are far more simplistic in comparison.

No clue how the wind boxes work (or whatever shadow temple does) but having ivan be able to blow towards link might be cool/a new annoying way to interrupt the player
