Duplicate Pawn

This ability comp duplicates a pawn, with options for things like adding hediffs, changing the gender, or using the caster's faction instead of the targets if different:

        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.CompProperties_AbilityDuplicatePawn">
            </li>
        </comps>

These are the options available:

• count : Default (1~1) : How many duplicates to spawn
• duplicateCaster : Default (False) : Causes the ability to duplicate the caster instead of the target
• keepName : Default (True) : If False, this ensures that the new pawn will have a different name from the source pawn
• gender : The options are None (no static gender, flip between male and female), Female, and Male. If not added to the comp, the new pawn's gender will be the same as the source
• randomGender : Default (False) : If True, the new pawn's gender is randomly chosen, with whatever you have in gender being ignored
• keepNameOnGenderChange : Default (False) : If True and gender is being used, this ensures that the changing of the gender won't cause the name to also change
• relation : The PawnRelationDef to give the new pawn, with the source as the other pawn. If left as empty, no relation will be created
• casterRelation : The PawnRelationDef to give the new pawn, with the caster as the other pawn. If left as empty, no relation will be created. If the caster is the source and relation is in use, both PawnRelationDefs will be added
• useCasterFaction : Default (True) : If the source's faction is different from the caster's, then the new pawn(s) will have the caster's faction instead of the target's if this is True. For obvious reasons, this doesn't matter if duplicateCaster is True
• hediffsToGive : A special list of items that gives hediffs to the new pawn(s) (using the same method as Give Multiple Hediffs, for those familiar with that comp), with these as the options in each li:
  • hediffDef : Each desired hediff will require its own list item
  • chance : Default (1) : The chance of the hediffDef actually applying
  • onlyBrain : Default (false) : Instead of applying to the entire body, it applies the hediff to the brain
  • bodyParts : A list of body parts to apply the hediff to. Overrides onlyBrain
  • applyToSelf : Default (false) : Applies this hediff to the caster, regardless of the selected target. This is only really useful if there is supposed to be some effect on the caster that scales based on how many pawns were actually created
  • applyToTarget : Default (true) : Applies this hediff to the target. Usually no reason to set this to false due to the below node
  • onlyApplyToSelf : Default (false) : Equivalent to setting applyToTarget to false, and applyToSelf to true, just does both in a single node. This is only really useful if there is supposed to be some effect on the caster that scales based on how many pawns were actually created
  • skipExisting : Default (False) : If true and the pawn already has the hediff on all of the parts, then this hediff is skipped. If the hediff is only on some parts, the comp will still add the hediff to those parts
  • replaceExisting : Default (False) : If true and the pawn already has the hediff, that hediff is removed (can trigger this comp on that hediff), and a new version of it is added
  • severity : Default (1) : The severity to give, or add to the existing one if replaceExisting and skipExisting are false. If a range of values is given instead of a singular value, then a random number in that range is used for the severity. If this number is less than or equal to 0, the li is skipped unless replaceExisting is true, in which case the hediffDef is removed

Note : It is possible to make the duplicates temporary by giving them a hediff with HediffCompProperties_DisappearsAndKills and Destroy on Death, but due to how death notifications are handled by Rimworld, there isn't any good way to ensure that pawns won't become sad and want a funeral for the temporary copy. I have not yet found any sort of toggle in pawn code that lets the game know that the pawn in question isn't worth having a funeral over

This example just causes a duplicate of the targeted pawn to appear, with no special effects:

This example creates 2-4 copies of the caster and assigns them random genders
