special_abilities

[Kingly_Krab]

This field works similarly to the old special attacks. This field has new functionality that the older field does not, here's the page for more information on it.


Also, to set a special ability to active you set the column to #,1^#,1^#,1 where # is the special ability, ",1" is setting it to active, and ^ is the separator between abilities.

[KLS]

The reasons it changed were:
- We were close to running out of letters and some of the letters that we were forced to use made absolutely no sense.
- This way allows for expanded functionality where each ability can have parameters.

Example using summon doing something that wasn't possible before:

1,1,1000,100

This tells the npc that it has special attack summon target to itself on a 1000ms(1 sec) cd so long as it's hp <= 100%.

Alternatively you could do:

1,2,6000,97

This tells the npc that it has special attack summon itself to its target on a 6000ms(6 sec) cd so long as it's hp <= 97%.

Such things had to be hard coded before but now we can set them up so they don't have to be if we so wish.
