So I've spent many hours on it and the closest I found to make it work is to use the Cow Polymorph transformation as it gives control to the AI and doesn't remove the ability for characters to play (they only can't use ladders anymore).

I'd love to take inspiration from that status and make my own and remove the ladder issue and the cow form but everytime I try to interact with status effect nothing works. In this case if I change the Stat PolymorphResult in Status effect COW the spell has 0 effect anymore and if I change anything else like the Display Name or Description of the status it doesn't have any impact I have the default [Cow Shape] and the default description of the cow polymorph.

Am I stupid and miss something or this engine really flawed in many ways ? I also have a bug where all the things I place in the world are inexplicably doubled on all the mods I try to create. This one I spawned the spellbook to learn my custom spell and it appears twice and my other mod creates a new trader that works well but he also gets doubled but the people subscribing to my mod on Steam don't see it doubled (in some instances they don't see it at all, and not on all their saves). I'm quite frustrated because I feel I mostly have issues creating what I'd like (which should be easy normally) because of bugs and weird interactions more than anything.

If anyone can save me, please ?
