Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Scripting Creating new status

I'm trying to create a custom status based on sleeping. The problem is that I don't know how to set the sleep animation while it's active and make it breakable by damage. I tried looking through Statuses.gameScript but couldn't find anything about the animation or damage. Could anyone tell me how to do the above or where I can find the related code?

Also are there any resources to learn more about scripting in divinity engine?

All you do here is copy the Sleeping status and change the name and/or make other changes to suit your needs. It'll have the animation and break on damage covered for you.

I don't think I'm doing this correctly but I tried creating a copy in stats editor and what I got is the effect of sleeping(-100% dodging, can't move/cast) but no animation/break on damage (clear-minded and enraged too). Same thing with copy-pasting data from Status_INCAPACITATED.txt.

This is what I came up with after a bit of research.

[quote]IF
CharacterStatusApplied(_Char,"RESTING",_)
THEN
CharacterSetAnimationOverride(_Char,"knockdown_loop");

IF
CharacterReceivedDamage(_Char)
AND
HasActiveStatus(_Char,"RESTING",1)
THEN
RemoveStatus(_Char,"RESTING");[/quote]

There are three problems with this.
1.Animation won't play until the status is over.
2.Misses break the status.
3.What is the name for Lie_Still_01 animation? I can't find it anywhere in _Global_CharacterAnimations.
Can anyone help me with these?

There is no "SLEEPING" animation. SLEEPING puts "zzzzz" over the head of a character (= effect), but it does not make them lie down.

Regarding your questions:
1. Maybe try it on CharacterStatusAttempt? Although I'm not sure why an animation override would fail once the status has been applied
2. No idea why that would happen. I don't immediately see any script that would do this, and a cursory look at code only reveals the removal of the SLEEPING status if you are hit and the hit does more than 0 damage.
3. You cannot directly play this animation afaik. This animation is automatically used if a character gets the LYING status. However, this LYING status, just like the SITTING status, is not a status you can/should apply directly. Instead, they are tied to using items with a Sit/Lie action tied to them and sockets to which the characters can be attach (like beds and chairs).

Thanks for the answer Tinkerer.
The sleeping animation I was talking about is the "stilldrunk" animation that plays when you have the SLEEPING status.
Now as for update on my custom status.
1. I found out that using an incapacitated type status override my animation with the "still" animation.
2. Still no idea why CharacterReceievedDamage would trigger on misses. Could you tell me where I can find the SLEEPING removal code?

The SLEEPING removal happens in code, as in "C++ engine code". It's not in script, so you cannot look at it.
