Registering custom skills

Creation of custom skills is done through the SkillManager singleton class. This will automatically take care of incrementing the skill's SkillType (unique numerical ID), so there will be no conflicts between skills added by various mods.

Example

To create a new skill, you must call the RegisterSkill function.

This should be called from within your mod's Awake method, and it will return a randomly generated SkillType for your new skill.

namespace TestMod
{
    [BepInPlugin("com.bepinex.plugins.jotunnlib.testmod", "JotunnLib Test Mod", "0.0.1")]
    [BepInDependency(JotunnLib.JotunnLib.ModGuid)]
    class TestMod : BaseUnityPlugin
    {
        public static Skills.SkillType TestSkillType = 0;

        private void Awake()
        {
            TestSkillType = SkillManager.Instance.RegisterSkill(new SkillConfig()
            {
                // This should be a UNIQUE string, which will be used to generate a unique numerical ID for your skill
                Identifier = "com.jotunnlibteam.testmod.testskill",

                // The name of the skill in-game
                Name = "Testing Skill",

                // The description of your skill in-game
                Description = "A nice testing skill!",

                // The skill's icon. This can be left out to use the default icon.
                // To see info on loading icons, see the tutorial under "Utils > Asset Utils"
                Icon = testSkillSprite
            });
        }
    }
}

Note: Unless you actually have any levels in your skill, it won't show up in the skils menu. You must first raise your skill (either using a command, or actually implementing a way to earn levels) in order to be able to see it

This is what it should look like in game:
