Branch Attribute

Every time a skill is triggered from the mob file via a trigger, a SkillTree is generated. The SkillTree holds many informations, and among them there are the Skill-Scoped Variables and the Skill Parameters and their value.

This makes their value accessible from any mechanic or metaskill that is being called from the same skilltree they are in, but it also makes them unique: there can exist only one Skill Scoped Variable or one Skill Parameter with the same name in the SkillTree, and setting more than one will override the value.

TestSkill_1:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=1}
  - skill{s=TestSkill_2}
  - skill{s=TestSkill_3}
  - message{m="<skill.var.sharedvalue>"} @World

TestSkill_2:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=2}

TestSkill_3:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=3}

In this instance you can see how this all works out: the value of the skill scoped variable is set on all called metaskills, but since the skilltree is only one, the value is overridden multiple times, until, at the end, the value "3" is returned

The branch Attribute, meanwhile, makes this no longer true: if set to true on a skill mechanic, it makes the called metaskill have a brand new SkillTree, without it sharing any skill scoped variable or skill parameter

TestSkill_1:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=1}
  - skill{s=TestSkill_2}
  - skill{s=TestSkill_3;branch=true}
  - message{m="<skill.var.sharedvalue>"} @World

TestSkill_2:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=2}

TestSkill_3:
  Skills:
  - setvariable{var=skill.sharedvalue;val=3}

This example pans out like the previous one, except for the line in which the TestSkill_3 MetaSkill is called: since the branch attribute is set to true, the variable is set on another skilltree, without the original one have "any knowledge" of it. So, the final value printed would be "2"

Examples

  Skills:
  - skill{skill=AnotherSkill} @Target ~onAttack
  - skill{s=AnotherSkill} @Trigger ~onSpawn
  - skill:OtherSkill @Trigger ~onDeath

The attribute "sync=true" will be inherited by any sub-skills and cannot be set to false later in a skill-tree.

  Skills:
  - skill{s=AnotherSkill;sync=true} @Target ~onAttack
  - skill{s=ice_bolt;sync=true} @Target ~onTimer:100
  - skill{sync=true;s=flamethrower} @TargetLocation ~onTimer:200
  - skill:Onemechainc @Target ~onDamaged
  - skill{
      skill=leafs;
      sync=true
      }
