A small Waterballoon rework

[Papa Scorch]

This idea has probably already been chucked out there hundreds of times, but water balloons should make enemies wet just like they do to players. This would let people have more fun with electricity mechanics such as Warly with his volt goat choid fraud, or other characters with morning star and electric darts. Dragonfly's larvae should also be one shot by water balloons which would solidify them and they could be mined for a D-Fly scale scrap. With ten of them, you could make 1 D-Fly scale.

They do make enemies wet, it's just enemies who aren't dragonfly are immune to being wet. Their wetness is only based on the world's wetness. Wish it would change.

You can also freeze dragonfly's lavae and they drop rocks.

If water balloons made things wet like players, it would nerf electrical weapons.

This is b/c with the wetness meter (aka what players and dfly use), the electrical damage scales based on how wet the target is. This differs from how it works for most mobs where if the world is wet, the mob is considered fully wet and thus deals full electrical damage.

I believe Hornet has a mod that makes stuff fully wet w/ water balloons based on a timer system iirc? It's somewhere on the workshop.

Then maybe when used on mobs, their wetness would be stuck at 100 for a few minutes and then return to 0.

they can make it like ice staves effect. X mob needs Y water balloons to be wet during Z time depending on weather
