Ah, that's a typo in the guide. It's add_skills and remove_skills. My bad.I can fix it, but it'll mean Ian's got to redeploy a new version again for people to get that new guide, er, I think.
Add_skills on items refers to their use, not their equipping. Drinking a potion that allows you to breathe fire, for example. equip_add_skills would probably be the flag I'd go for there. That's a related but separate feature.

And...it seems the adds_skills flag isn't working for items. I get this error when I load a map: "Adds_skills is not a recognized flag in..." I changed it to add_skills just to see what would happen, didn't get an error, but the skills weren't added when the item in question was equipped... If the flag is add_skills instead of adds_skills then the map creation guide has a typo, that's why I tried both... On 3/22/15, Monkey <murtagh69.monkeys@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Ohhh, kay. I totally forgot about the updater. Question about downloading packs using the game itself though, why does it always say "Unable to find map pack settings.txt or author.txt"? I get this message no matter what version I try downloading packs for. They work if I download the packs and manually paste them into the map packs folder, which is weird...

The reason I was sending round links before is because we were having a little trouble with the auto-updater, but it should work by itself now.

I'm especially excited for 2, because now I don't have to worry about users performing arrow skills when they have a sword equipped. It will make things so much easier! Plus, I can reduce the overall amount of skills that some units have access to in their unit file!

Changes in 2.0 dev 4: 1. Fixed a bug for edge cases where an effect or item adds a damage type not already present to a skill or item attack, which would mean any protection against that added damage type would be ignored. 2. Added add_skills and remove_skills flags to skills, items and effects. These will grant or remove use of a skill to a unit. In the case of an effect, this is only for the duration of the effect. 3. Added a hidden flag to effects, which allows them to not be announced in the Unit Information. 4. Added shared.AddSkillToUnit and shared.RemoveSkillFromUnit to the shared object for scripters. This version also comes bundled with the new version of Victorious's scripts. I wanted number 2 for a while, so thought I'd give it a try. If it's not working out we can always go back on it, but I hope you guys can find good uses for it! I hope you all like the newest update!
