Unit skin with differing skin image size as unit image
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2020 7:28 pm
Here you can learn how to put in skin for a unit with differing image size as original unit (or being animated and so on)
Location
- There is a folder cosmetics under assets folder, or make one if not exists.
- there is a units folder in it, if not make it
- here you can have the skin definition files (json)
Skin definition json
- file name must be like UNIT_MUSKETEER.json that is the unitTypeName of the unit and .json
- in the file you can see this:
Example with 2 alterntive skins for the unit in different skinpacks
where
cosmeticRarity - rarity {COMMON, UNCOMMON, RARE, EPIC, LEGENDARY}
"skinSeq":1 - this is the order nr of the skin among other skins (if it is in a pack than unique inside the pack, if a standalone skin than unique among standalone ones)
"skinPackID": optional, if not set than a standalone skin (however i think better to put all in a skinpack)
"uiDefinition": EXACTLY the same definition as on a normal unit json visuals definition see here: viewtopic.php?f=216&t=6450
Here you can define anything you would define on the unit itself (mega building sizes, animation and so on)
