New page

== 1. Creating the Action Asset ==

# Click the Action button on the asset menu (left) and create a new asset.
# Set a unique label for it. WARNING: DO NOT CHANGE A LABEL AFTER SETTING IT OR YOU MAY GET BROKEN LINKS. I'll name mine "bot_vibratorArm".
# Click the question mark in the corner of the window for help filling out the fields.
# For the sake of this example, I'll make an ability called Vibrator Arm: "Deals 3 corruption damage and destroys 1 utility momentum.".
# I'll make it cost 2 offensive momentum and have a 1 turn cooldown. I'll set type to corruption.
# I'll hit library on wrappers and click new. Label my new wrapper bot_vibratorArm_momentum and set description to "destroys one utility momentum"
# Technically you can click library on effects too, but I'll close my new wrapper and select it in the linker because it's less chaotic with fewer linkers.
# Next I'll click the wrapper from the Action's list of wrappers to bring up the wrapper editor.
# I'll ctrl+click the default interrupt effect to remove it, and click library. Then new to create a new effect.
# I'll label my effect momentum_minus1_utility and set the description to "destroy 1 utility momentum".
# Set the type to addMomentum and in the JSON editor I'll change the amount from 1 to -1.
# Then close the window and pick it from the list to attach it to the wrapper.
# Next go back to the action editor and add another wrapper. In the linker, I'll search for deal3damage, since there's already an existing wrapper that does 3 damage. You don't have to worry about the damage type being corruption, as that's automatically inferred from the action type.
# Finally I'll add some tags. This ability is easy enough so I'll just tag it as "ac_damage". You can look through the tags starting with "ac_" to see what might fit your ability.
# (Optional) If this is for an NPC (especially boss mechanics) you may want to consider the tags: ac_npc_important (always use this action when available), ac_npc_first (always use this first if possible, tho ac_npc_important will go first unless you pair the two), ac_npc_important_last (makes it important and will only use other actions if they don't prevent the NPC from using this), and ac_npc_ignore_aggro which makes the NPC always use this action on a random target unless taunted or grappled.

== 2. Creating a condition ==

# For texts to work, you need to create an action condition.
# Go to conditions and create new. Label it "action_bot_vibratorArm".
# Set type to actionLabel
# Select your action from the linker.

== 3. Creating texts for your action ==

# Go to text and create a new text.
# Write the text, use the question mark as usual to see what special vars you can use in the text. In my case I'll go with "%S pushes %Shis vibrator arm up between %T's legs, buzzing %This %groin!".
# For conditions I'm gonna click the "Any on Humanoid" button which adds "actionHit" to prevent the text from showing up on a miss, "eventIsActionUsed" to make the text only show up when an action has been used, and "targetNotBeast" to prevent the text from being shown when the action is used on beasts.
# I'll also want to click Library and add the "action_bot_vibratorArm" to prevent the text from showing up when a different action is used.
# You can add some other conditions if you want, such as "targetVaginaExposed" for penetrating texts etc.
# The help menu will tell you how to fill out the other fields.
# Protip: To speed up creation of multiple texts, go back to the texts database and alt+click your text to make a copy. Then edit the copy. If you regret your copy, you can ctrl+click to delete it.

== 4. Linking your action ==

=== Linking your action to a gym ===

# Open up the Player Action database, this is a database that links actions to characters.
# Create a new entry and give it a label such as "warrior_bot_vibratorArm" (this doesn't really make sense as the bot_vibratorArm was created for an NPC, but we'll go along anyway).
# Leave auto learn and PLayer templates only unchecked.
# Under action, click library and pick bot_vibratorArm.
# Under conditions click library and search for gameActionTag_warrior, and select it. This will add it to the warrior trainer. Protip: The trainers are just game actions with tags, you can create whatever tags you want for your trainers, but the base game comes with conditions for the built in "classes".

=== Linking your action to an NPC template ===

# Open up the Player Action database.
# Create a new entry and give it a label such as "sexBot_bot_vibratorArm".
# Check Player templates only
# Under action, click library and pick bot_vibratorArm.
# Under conditions, click library and pick targetClass_sexRobot_vibrator (detailed in [[Creating_a_Monster]]). This makes it available to the sex robot we created in said tutorial, whenever the monster is generated and if its class is sexRobot_vibrator.

=== Connecting your action to a boss or NPC ===

# Go to your player asset, link your action directly via the Actions linker.
