Location of Pilot skills

Post by 4n4rch1st »

In the title.

Either I'm half blind (most likely possibility), or aliens have eaten my eyeball, because I can't seem to find where the pilot skills are stashed.

Look at some pilot mods, although I did that and I can't seem to find it either sooo...

I did check pilot mods, and the ones I looked at just put the skills in the init file (the file that allows compatibility with the main mod manager).

Pilot skills are hardcoded, locked in C++. That isn't to say you can't make your own, it just means we have no existing examples to draw from. The existing pilot mod was made completely from scratch. You can put something like this anywhere to check a mech's pilot and do something if the pilot's name matches your custom pilot:

if _G[MyPawnName:GetPersonality()] == "MyPilotName" then
[do some cool stuff]
end

Dang. At least there's still a way to create new pilot skills...

I was wrong actually, instead it’s this:

MyPawnName:GetPersonality() == "MyPilotName"

You don’t need the _G[ ]
