Starting with skills
« on: April 15, 2009, 07:28:16 am »

I'm sure this is a stupid question.
I've made a creature, and it works perfectly. However, I want it to start out as a legendary wrestler. How do I do that?

Normally you can't give specific skills to start out with.

However

There's a workaround. If you give your creature the [ENDING] tag, it *should* start as a legendary wrestler. It will also spawn from the HFS, which i'm afraid is an unavoidable side-effect.

Otherwise, you can give it [CAN_LEARN] and hope it gets some points in wrestler.

Ah, [ENDING] seems to work. Thanks.

I believe that the [DEFENDER] tag will also cause the same effect, it just means that they will spawn in waves from HFS instead of spawning alone.
