📋 About This Mod
When placed anywhere in load order (doesn't matter where) it will generate a file on launching the game C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender\InheritanceTree.txt
It will account for modded entries as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you start an honor or honor ruleset save, the code will run again but this time with a bunch of self inheritances and it will overwrite the traditional inheritances. As of 1. 2 the code will now generate a new set of inheritances and compare them against the original to see what changes, and then add the changes to the original, showing a ⟳ icon to indicate a change to self inheritance, as well as placing a at the bottom to see which entries changed inheritance to something not theirself.
Example output:
CL_Instruments_Doot
├─ CL_ARM_Instrument_Doot_Drum
├─ CL_ARM_Instrument_Doot_Flute
├─ CL_ARM_Instrument_Doot_Lute
├─ CL_ARM_Instrument_Doot_Lyre
└─ CL_ARM_Instrument_Doot_Violin
_Armor_Magic
ABERRANT_SHAPE
ABILITYSCORE_DEATH

├─ MAG_ACID_NOXIOUS_FUMES
