About HarpoonReelIn
From ThunderstoreHold a key to reel in harpooned targets. Configurable key, speed, stamina cost, and minimum distance.
HarpoonReelIn
Adds a reel-in mechanic to the vanilla Valheim harpoon. Hold a key while your target is harpooned to actively pull it toward you.
Features
- Reel in harpooned targets by holding a configurable key (default: Left Shift)
- Stamina cost while reeling (configurable)
- Minimum distance so the target stops before clipping into you
- Configurable reel speed to tune how fast the tether shortens
- All settings visible in BepInEx ConfigurationManager (F1)
Configuration
| Setting | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | ReelKey | Left Shift | Key to hold to reel in | | ReelSpeed | 4.0 | Meters per second the tether shortens | | StaminaDrainPerSecond | 5.0 | Extra stamina cost per second while reeling | | MinDistance | 3.0 | Closest the target can be pulled (meters) |
Compatibility
This mod only modifies the SE_Harpooned status effect and is compatible with all other mods. It does not touch inventory, crafting, building, skills, portals, creatures, or any other system.
Installation
- Install via Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman (recommended), or
- Place
HarpoonReelIn.dllin yourBepInEx/plugins/folder
How It Works
When you harpoon a creature, the game sets a tether distance. Normally this distance is fixed. This mod lets you shrink that distance by holding a key, causing the vanilla pull force to drag the creature closer. Release the key and the creature stays at the new shorter distance.
