ssl command not working as it should in Sfall script editor

[Zorchar]

Hi all.

I'm trying to make it so a critter would have the bonus rate of fire perk. I was also trying to add the fast shot trait, but since it didn't work I moved on to adding a perk.

Anyway, I am using this code, in a script made for the critter:

 critter_add_trait(self_obj,TRAIT_PERK,PERK_bonus_rate_of_fire,1);

The script ends up giving ME (dude_obj) the perk.

Plus, when using the same command differently, like so,

 critter_add_trait(self_obj,TRAIT_TRAIT,TRAIT_fast_shot,1);

it doesn't work at all, for me or for the critter. Also tried removing a trait but to no avail.

Any thoughts? Appreciate the comments

also tried using "brat_object" imported variable as pointer to self_obj, ending up with the same result.

What?

I'm not even sure if perks are working on other critters than dude_obj. Why not just give that critter +2 action points?

nevermind the brat object thing.

Giving this critter more action points will allow it to run longer and to use items etc'. I just need it to have just that specific perk for balancing combat.

I know I can do all kinds of work arounds, but this can be a useful (granted, not very useful) command to be able to use.

And BTW, How do I add action points to a critter without changing his stats? In this specific case, the critter will have to have 12 action points.

NPCs can't have traits. If you want some critter to have AP cost -1 on ranged weapons, it's easier to use sfall's CALCAPCOST hook for your goal.

Learning how to use hook scripts, and Sfall in general, is one of my goals. Unfortunately for me, i'm having a hard time figuring it out.
Is there a way to learn the basics of sfall, other then the tutorial that comes with sfall? Or maybe someone awesome can direct me, step by step, only to do this one hook script?

Check out https://sfall.bgforge.net/, sslc readme. Look at live code.
