Darts

Darts

Thirty darts exist in the level, no more, no less, spawning in stashes of 3. A floating, spinning dart is a spawned pickup (it hovers well off the floor - no spawned item ever touches the ground): harmless, and only a player holding the blowgun can collect it (walk over it). A dart lying flat on the ground has landed - off a zapped-out victim, or a miss that hit a wall - and it's a hazard: step on it without the blowgun and it poisons you as if it hit you; with the blowgun in hand you pick it up as ammo. Slingshot players can load either kind and fire it; a slung dart poisons the same. Drop or lose the blowgun and its darts go back into the level. Darts that fall off the stage respawn.
