Skills

Skills

How soon the game can award a skill again. After awarding Wreckage, the game waits 2.5 seconds before it awards another, so smashing through a forest gives one Wreckage, then nothing for a while. Skills changes that wait for Wreckage, Lumberjack and Sideswipe.

New in 0.10.0.

Thread: any. Set the delays in OnInit: the game reads its skills once, while it starts. A delay set later applies straight away if the game has read that skill already.

Example

protected override void OnInit()
{
    Skills.SetRetriggerDelay(Skill.Wreckage, 1.0f);     // a Wreckage every second you keep smashing
    Skills.SetRetriggerDelay(Skill.Lumberjack, 2.5f);
}

Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
    Skills.SetRetriggerDelay(Skill.Wreckage, 1.0F)      ' a Wreckage every second you keep smashing
    Skills.SetRetriggerDelay(Skill.Lumberjack, 2.5F)
End Sub

Members

Member	What it does
SetRetriggerDelay(Skill skill, float seconds) (method)	How many seconds after awarding skill the game waits before it can award it again. A negative value keeps the game's own.
RetriggerDelay(Skill skill) (method, returns float?)	The delay the game uses for skill now, or null before the game has read its skills.

Skill

Value	The skill
Wreckage	Smashing scenery. The game's own delay is 2.5 s.
Lumberjack	Smashing log piles (and trees a mod makes count as one).
Sideswipe	Rubbing against another car.

Notes

• The delay is the game's own setting (Skills.xml's RetriggerDelay), changed in memory: nothing on disk is touched.
• If two mods set the same skill, the last one to set it wins.
• On a game build the SDK doesn't support, the delays stay the game's and platform.log says so.
