What i did was just combine the piranhaPlant.lua from MrDoubleA and the Grounded Piranha Plant.lua from MegaDood and add improvements to it.

Piranha Plant:

Grounded Piranha Plant:


Changelog:
[1.0] - Initial release.
[1.1] - Modified the rotation of the piranha's head to move towards the player smoothly, with the addition of a move function to control the speed of the piranha plant to be equal to the speed of the first piranha plant.

Cool, but like, what’s the difference between this and the aforementioned stuff?

Thank you!
Excellent question indeed!
The main difference is that the Piranha Plants Ultimate pack focuses on variety and expansion.
It currently includes the Normal and Grounded types, but I'll be working on adding Fire, Jumping, and others in the future—all with a unified and organized visual style.
The goal is for the pack to be comprehensive, cohesive, and easily expandable in the future.

they're combined?

Yes, that's one of the pack's goals: to bring together all Piranha Plant species into one organized project, unified in form, behavior, and aesthetics.
Instead of having them scattered across various sources, I've put them all in one place.
This isn't meant as an insult to other packs; without them, this pack wouldn't exist in the first place!

That's awesome my friend! I'm looking forward to the extra stuff you'll add in the future. Keep it up!

In this version: The piranha's head rotation has been updated to smoothly move toward the player instead of jumping directly to the target angle.
And new move function has also been added to match the speed of the original piranha plant.
