No healing while taking damage

Description
I'm no longer updating my Starbound mods, so they might not work as intended. Feel free to update and upload any of my Starbound mods.


Any kind of consumable healing will be stopped when you take damage.
Upon taking damage, the now useless effect stays for 3 seconds (regardless of duration left), during which you cannot use another healing item. After the effect has expired, healing works again.
Healing staffs and staying well fed still work when taking damage.

This prevents you from tanking damage in combat using healing items, making fights harder, poison, fire and stuff more dangerous, healing weapons more viable and dodging and keeping a full belly more important.

Any environmental damage also stops the healing (drowning, fall damage etc.). No more negating suffocation damage using salve.
To effectively heal in combat, you need to dodge attacks.

This mod is incompatible with anything that changes the healing effect. I don't know of any, but warning you just in case.

The main reason i made the patch was because i noticed you could still use items while on cooldown, meaning they would be wasted. I'm not sure if it's possible to code in some kind of item disabling for a specific thing like a bandage, but then what about modded healing items as well? Might be too complex.

I could have made it even shorter like half a second because your healing effect still gets removed. Could even just remove the cooldown altogether. I might do this if i feel it's necessary but for now 1 second seems reasonable. I'll probably change it to shorter if people get annoyed by the chance of wasted items.

Sorry for the long ramble lol, have a good night.

Hi there, just popped in to say i modified your mod slightly so there's only a 1 second cooldown. With your permission i would like to upload it to the workshop. At the moment i just have it for personal use.

Exactly good mod and great idea!
Regret at needing an update!

Really great mod, actually makes the game more challenging.

Maybe you want you to consider create a companion mod that removes Healing Items from crates and chests, while increasing the amount of items necessary for Crafting them.

This would amp up the challenge a lot. :cozyjunimogreen:

Game is too easy when you can outheal everything.
