This mod makes the Coil Head slowly turn its head to stare at you after standing close to it for a while. Because it just isn't scary enough already.
You are looking right at it. It shouldn't be able to move, right? Slowly, its head begins to turn towards you, menacingly. Mocking you. It knows you can't escape.
This is a client-side mod, anyone who has it installed will see the Coil Head stare at the closest player.
Values like the speed at which the head turns are tweakable in the config file.
Extra feature: If you hit the Coil Head with a shovel or something similar, the head spring will bounce. This is on by default but can be changed in the config file.
Important: This mod is incompatible with many model replacements or reskins of the Coil Head.
But even if the head doesn't turn, hitting it with a shovel for the recoil animation should almost always work.
To modders: If you want to guarantee your reskin to work with CoilHeadStare, set it up like the default coilhead:
There does seem to be a way to not have the head seperate but instead entirely weighted to the single bone under springBone.002, however if this works in all cases is uncertain.
CoilHeadStare has a thread in the unofficial "Lethal Company Modding" community on discord. Feel free to ask any questions you have about the process there.
