I hope you find this post Ora!
Ok, so I finished a Deku Spitter for Deku Scrubs a while back. There was a bug in zrcs v1.3 however that prevented it from working correctly with zrcs. This has been fixed in v1.4. Anyway...
I originally designed the spitter to shoot fairly fast (mad scrub speed) and to use one deku nut per shot. It works fairly well, but drains ammo pretty fast. Too fast to be used as a primary weapon. Deku will most likely want this as a primary though. Here's the plan:
The spitter will have 2 ways to fire.
Shoot it normally to fire one deku nut. This will use no ammo at all. The firing rate will be that of a normal (green) deku scrub.
Hold down crouch and then fire (C or page dn, just like shooting a fire/bomb arrow) to shoot three deku nuts in rapid succession, mad scrub style. This will use up one deku nut.
The deku nut spitter will be free, but will not be able to activate eye switches like deku seeds and arrows can. At any rate, I intend for this to be the weapon of choice for Deku. I think this is a good way to manage that. I just want to make sure everything is fair and balanced. It's power should be comparable to that of the free zrcs sword. (Keep in mind that the spitter cannot be used with a shield. Basically, defense is traded for range. The attack may also be slower yet stronger than the free wooden sword. Heck, if we want to get creative, I could set up a "deku forge" that works for spitters just as the current forge does for blades. But let's not look too far down the road.)
