📋 About This Mod
Injects skills into Valheim's skill system. Handles adding to the list and both the cheat options (Raise/Reset). Leaves you to handle getting XP and actually applying effects. You will need to pick a unique number for your skill id. I'd stick with numbers > 200.
public class MySkillMod: BaseUnityPlugin
const int SKILL_TYPE = 299;
void Awake()
SkillInjector. RegisterNewSkill(SKILL_TYPE, "MyCoolSkill", "Doing Cool Stuff", 1. 0f, null, Skills. SkillType. Unarmed);
the parameters are:
-
[]id - the numeric id for your skill. MUST BE UNIQUE.
[
]name - the name of your skill.[]description - the description of your skill.
[]increment - the increment to adjust your skill by when increasing.
[]icon - the icon for your skill (Unity Sprite). Can be null if you use a template skill to base your icon on.
[]template - the skill to copy the icon from if you don't provide an icon.
Known issues:
- Doesn't support multiple languages (working on it).
