NB: This might not happen, been 7–8 months as of this revision and no action on this front. Any takers? – FinalDeath /30.07.2005 09:28/
Unfortunately, at this time, new modifiers can’t be added, as they require a change to the code and programmer support.
Modifiers, can be composed of the following attributes:
application_type which governs how the modifier is applied, the valid options are:
apply_to_entity_type: modify the base stats for an entity type, all entities of the type will get the modifier
apply_to_entity: apply to an entity
apply_to_player: apply to a player, modifiers player stats like unit caps.
apply_to_squad: modify the squad characteristics
apply_to_squad_type: modify squad type characteristics
apply_to_weapon(_type?): modify weapon type characteristics. Not got the data to hand so can;t be sure but something like this exists... (Cei Gladstone)
exclusive: When set to true only one modifier of this type can be applied to the modifier class.
modifier_class_name; Use this to mark modifiers as the same as each other for exclusivity purposes, the values are from the TYPE_Modifier section of the attribute editor. An example would be poison, you'll mark all the modifiers which are for a poison effect with the same class name (tp_poison say) and mark them as exclusive. Whenever one is applied it will remove all the modifiers with the same class name first.
probability_of_applying: 0–1, the probability that this modifier will be applied.
target_type_name: When the application_type is apply_to_entity_type this is the blueprint name of the entity, same for apply_to_squad_type and apply_to_weapon_type.
usage_type: which is used to say whether it is an addition to the base value or a multiplier, or enable. All the additions are calculated first then the multipliers are applied.
value: which is the actual value of the modifier
