thorn plants count as traps and instant kill you :/

The way I have the status effect set up doesn't actually take your health, it simply sets your max health to 0, instantly killing you. Since you goals are unclear, i would recommend you look in your game install folder (right-click game in steam -> manage -> browse local files). There is a folder called doc and within it a folder called Lua. The file called "statuscontroller.md" should contain information regarding the Lua functions that can affect the stat and resources like health or energy of a player (or any entity for that matter).

Wow didn't realise how much I wanted this until I found it! When you get some HP and a shield you can ignore so many traps, this will make things more exciting for sure, thanks!

that image reminds me of that one smash ultimate meme.

@FishLord, the actual effect is supposed to last for 1 second. All status effects are removed on death so i'm not sure that's really possible. though i could make a generic script to track this...

This has good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ potential though

Then you make a mod called Hardcorerer Traps that make the effect last for a minute
