Temporaraly Disabling Entities, Etc
« on: January 08, 2011, 11:55:23 am »

I really want to play as a race I modded. There are easier ways to do it, but I would still like to know if there is any way to remove a creature or whatever from the Raws with only a couple characters removed or something like that that can be easily undone without loss of modding-say, removing the brackets from [ENTITY:WHATEVER] or something.

Notice though that if it follows some entity, the tokens will be applied to that instead. So it just works for the first entity in a list.

So basically you can undo separate tokens by removing brackets, but it would be good to cut whole entities/creatures if they are not in separate files.

The easiest thing would probably be to put the ones you want to remove in their own files, then take the brackets off of OBJECT:ENTITY when you don't want them to be used.
