Properties

The Properties section of the Configurator's Inspector allows you to configure the skilltree ID, Inheritance, and Weight.

ID

The skilltree ID is the internal identifier used by the plugin. It is the same identifier used when selecting a skilltree using the /petchooseskilltree [ID] command. It is advisable to make this ID the same as the Skilltree Name in the Appearance section.

Inheritance

This option allows you to select a parent skilltree that the current (child) skilltree will inherit from. The child skilltree will then contain all of the parent skilltree's skills plus its own skills. This can allow for many options including the use of a base set of skills that are built upon by several child skilltrees.

For example, if Skilltree A is our parent skilltree and Skilltree B is our child skilltree, and Skilltree A contains the Backpack skill at Level 2 but does not contain the Pickup skill, but Skilltree B contains the Pickup skill at Level 2, then pets with just Skilltree A at Level 2 would only have the Backpack skill while pets with Skilltree B at Level 2 would have both Backpack and Pickup skills.

Weight

The Skilltree Weight sets the relative probability of this skilltree being picked when a skilltree is assigned randomly (MyPet.Skilltree.RandomAssignment in config.yml). Higher values make the tree more likely; the default is 1.0.

Since MyPet 4 the weight can also differ per pet type by writing a map instead of a number in the .st.json file:

"Weight": {
  "Default": 2.0,
  "Horse": 3.0
}

Default applies to every pet type without an explicit entry. The Configurator's Weight field currently edits the single-number form; per-type weights are maintained directly in the file.
