Taunt for Base Archers

To create a taunt for an archer that comes to the game for normal/alt/secret, make as you are creating a custom Archer, but you don't need an archerData.xml. You will need a 'atlas.png','atlas.xml' and a 'spriteData.xml'

You will need to add the attributes Category="taunt" For="PINK" to the <sprite_string> where:

For="PINK" have to be the base archer that you want to add. so i.e. For="PINK" For="PINK_ALT" For="PINK_SECRET" For="GREEN" For="RED_ALT" The Category="taunt" needs to be this, don't touch it.

For base archers, the taunt sound should stays in the taunt folder together with the spriteData.xml

For custom

Put the taunt spriteData in your custom spriteData. you should not put `Category="taunt" For="" in the spriteData (if you use "For" there is a chance to not work for the custom or replace the archer referred in the for).

Then add a <Taunt> in the archerData.xml of your custom with the spriteData Id contain the taunt.

ie in the sample above <Taunt>taunt/pink</Taunt>. *Don't add as a child of <Sprite>, should be outside, Like <Corpse> and all the others base elements.

Also, you can have the taunt sound inside SFX folder from your custom, just

<SFXLooped>SFX/taunt</SFXLooped>

or

<SFX>SFX/taunt</SFX>

or

<SFXVaried>SFX/taunt</SFXVaried>
