Internal changes to the Innate Skills system

Currently, and with the changes made, skills now behave differently, mainly in the attack phases.

Here's a sample of the changes.

Old (v2.4.5)	New (v2.4.6+)

In short, it's a simple change.

We're going from using something like this:

"properties_type": "multi_phase",
"properties": {
  "0": {
  ...
  },
  "1": {
  ...
  }
}

To this:

"properties": [
  {
  ...
  },
  {
  ...
  }
]

What if the attack is single-phase? It doesn't really change much; the method is essentially the same.

"properties": [
  {
  ...
  }
]

As we can see, the declaration of phases (properties_type) is gone, it is no longer necessary, and at the same time declaring the phase number is also no longer required; now it is simpler and safer

Changes to the tooltip related to the phases:

Now the passing system is a little more intelligent, it determines when the attack of a pass is "single" or when the attack consists of several phases, here is an example:

An example of multiple phases of attack:

Extras added

Now the Attack Phase system is called "InnatePhaseAttack" and has 3 new entries, being:

• "swing_sound"
• "hit_sound"
• "particle"

These are the same and are used in the same way as the attack phases.

In general all fields are currently:

Property	Type	Description
max_strikes	Float	Maximum number of targets/entities that can be hit in a single sweep.
damage_multiplier	Float	Raw base attack damage scaling factor.
armor_negation	Float	Percentage value of the victim's armor ignored during damage calculations.
impact	Float	Stagger intensity and hit-reaction strength forced onto the target.
stun_type	String	The visual/mechanical stun state applied on hit.
extra_damage	Boolean	Allows the ability's damage to scale with the Sweeping Edge enchantment.
swing_sound	Resource Location	Sound played while swinging.
hit_sound	Resource Location	Sound played when hitting an entity.
particle	Resource Location	Hit particle spawned on impact.

Disable Phase Tooltip:

Added a new entry for each skill, its function is to disable showing the properties of the attacks, it is useful if you want to build your tooltip using the tooltip system or because it uses a lot of animations, the tooltip becomes cluttered and becomes complicated to see.

Property	Type
disableTooltipProperties	Boolean

Example of use:

{
  "modid":"epicfight",
  "name": "fatal_sharp_stab",

  "animation": "epicfight:biped/skill/battojutsu",

  "disableTooltipProperties": true,
  "properties": [
    {
      "max_strikes": 1.0,
      "damage_multiplier": 1.2,
      "impact": 1.0,
      "stun_type": "SHORT"
    }
  ]
}

Here are some useful examples for each current skill:
