Modding Help Creating a Slowing Status

    I know encumbered exists but is it possible to create a status effect that works even on enemies? My intention is to attach this to projectiles such as sword swooshes. I am currently working on an ice sword and I think inflicting slows is something this game doesn't have at the moment? Or is this something the runboost/jump boosts are capable of?

    I dont know how to attach effects to ammo, but try making a runboost effect with a negative or fractional value (depends on if the game uses an integer modifier or a percentage). Usually works in most games.

    Hmmm I did try a fractional value and that didn't work out, totally forgot about negatives. I'll try it out and edit this post with my results!

    The game doesn't crash but it seems to do nothing to enemies, I guess run and jump speed changes only apply to players.

    Hey there, I've tried too, to see myself, the game dont apply the negative boost to enemies, I confirm but I dont know why. I haven't tested on myself but that's not the point :)
    I'll see further tomorrow, maybe there's another way to do that !

    Yeah, really is a shame there isn't a built in slow quite yet, but there's still hope!

    I am also interested in this. I need a straight up stun effect, but it seems that isn't possible yet.
    Good luck in working this out, it's taken me ages and I still haven't managed it.
