Okay, so, I can make my pet proc a skill, right? Using [Cast Skill]~


However, It will only work if there is an enemy around?


Is there a way to force the skill to happen, regardless of the presence of an enemy?

Mayhaps the problem is in the skill somewhere?

So, most of you already know what the 'Naruto Ninja Class' is. Recently, there has been a giant bug identified after testing forever~ The games resources cannot handle more than one of the class in an instance. ~120 skills or so, the game can't handle 2+ characters with that many skills, seems to be a sort of memory issue.

So, the decision was made by myself that I'll make two versions, the latter being a Multiplayer-driven version.

This version of the mod has been codenamed 'Allied Shinobi Forces' and will contain 5(maybe 1 more..) classes, 1 for each element respectively. The idea is simple:

Try to maintain the integrity of my original vision while delivering palpable multiplayer amongst the 5 elements. The biggest differences is that in multiplayer, there's simply no resource allotment for the original charge system idea, and will be replaced with a more simple charge system that fits the newly found parameters a bit better.

This has actually been a good thing, because through having to split the class into 5 i've found where each class has been falling short, especially in terms of balance and utility. This has helped to fill in some of the gaps~

So yeah, feel free to post any questions or input.

I'll be updating this post some more with breakdowns of each class, and I'm gonna start doing twitch streaming on the weekends.

Thanks for the warm welcome back guys!

Firstly, hey guys! I hope everyone is well

First question: I have a skill that loops. The [START] animation applies a layout, and the [LOOP] animation simply keeps it active. The layout applies an affix that lasts a set duration, and is re-applied by the same damage shape if it wears off.

I'm running into a strange issue where, no matter what I set the duration on the affix to, it only lasts 2 seconds. Even if the duration is 30 seconds, and re-applies itself and renews to 30 seconds, after 2 seconds the affix will remove completely. There is no EVENT_END, and the skill does not end because the Particle Layout and the Damage Shape themselves are in fact still running. Does anyone know what could be going on here?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second question: I'm attempting to add '+1 to X skill' via an item. I've tried the effect tab, using Dynamic/Passive, and I've also tried creating the affix itself and putting it on the item, again, using both Dynamic/Passive.

I've used the same affix and applied it via a skill, and it worked, so the affix is functional.

Is there any way, even roundabout, to achieve this? My end goal is to have an item, that when equipped, increases the rank of one skill, by one point.

It still seems to pull me to the enemy instead of the other monsters, I'll do a lot more testing and see what I come up with

Thanks so much for the reply, Phan! I'm at work right this second but I'm going to work to flush in your code and see if I can get my skill working.

I knew I could depend on you brainiacs behind the TL1CP

Thanks again man! \o/

- Will post back with an edit/update about how it's going

Worked a beauty, thanks mate!

Are there any other really useful stats like this that I should know about, and is there a way I could explore them on my own?

Again, thanks a bunch!

Welcome to Torchmodders, Potty! I just finished your small wall of text and found it refreshing. We always welcome new and seasoned modders here, and will work to provide any type of support we can. TL2 is far from dead to us, and feel that others should embrace it the same~ And you're correct, it's top of the list of ARPG games with potential.

We hope that you stick around here, and that you don't feel hesitant to ask any one of us for anything.
