So i am making a Quarian race mod for starbound, since they have really weak immune systems they have to wear their suits at all time. My question is: Is there a way to apply a poison effect if any of the armor slots are empty? Thanks in advance!
There are methods to add race-specific status effects, but most have to do with adding a script into a player.config Lua and having it check the species to apply to affect too. I am not really a fan of this method because the script gets updated constantly adds unnecessary load. I would instead try another method of applying poison to enemy types and then having the status effect check conditions before applying. It is a lot more work - but also a lot less lag in comparison since its only a run on-demand style script. Make sure when you add poison effect to enemy projectiles ( attacks ) you do it through patching. Otherwise you will break any other mod that does it as well.
