[Modding] Jumpjet to hit penalties - Has anyone tried adding a status effect to Jumpjets?

[me987654]

First a quick question - does adding penalties to hit after walking also affect jumping?

Now for the meat:


I was looking into finding a way to make Jumping add a to hit malus.... There are various to hit modifiers for walk and sprint in the Combat constants... but I didn't see anything for jumping.

However, I did notice you can add a status effect to jumpjets and I was thinking that maybe we could add the PPC debuff but change the target to self? You guys think this would work?

Steal the Status effects from the PPC

"statusEffects" : [
{
"durationData" : {
"duration" : 1,

"ticksOnEndOfRound" : false,
"ticksOnMovements" : false,
"stackLimit" : 1,
"clearedWhenAttacked" : false
},
"targetingData" : {
"effectTriggerType" : "OnHit",
"triggerLimit" : 0,
"extendDurationOnTrigger" : 0,
"specialRules" : "NotSet",
"effectTargetType" : "NotSet",

},

"floatieData" : null,
"actorBurningData" : null,
"vfxData" : null,
"instantModData" : null,

}
],


I'm thinking just replace the targeting data section with this:

"targetingData" :
{
"effectTriggerType" : "OnActivation",
"effectTargetType" : "Creator"
},


You guys think that would work?

Also - does anyone know if you change the ID in this section if that would allow this to be a separate ability that wouldn't not be able to stack with PPC hits?

},
"effectType" : "StatisticEffect",
"Description" : {
"Id" : "AbilityDefPPC",
"Name" : "SENSORS IMPAIRED",
"Details" : "[AMT] Difficulty to all of this unit's attacks until its next activation.",
"Icon" : "uixSvgIcon_status_sensorsImpaired"
},

In general can you add a new status effect like that? Will it break stuff? Curious if anyone has tried...

I mean for the actual effect I'd be using an existing function from here:

},
"nature" : "Debuff",
"statisticData" : {
"appliesEachTick" : false,
"effectsPersistAfterDestruction" : false,
"statName" : "AccuracyModifier",
"operation" : "Float_Add",
"modValue" : "1.0",
"modType" : "System.Single",
"additionalRules" : "NotSet",
"targetCollection" : "NotSet",
"targetWeaponCategory" : "NotSet",
"targetWeaponType" : "NotSet",
"targetAmmoCategory" : "NotSet",
"targetWeaponSubType" : "NotSet"
},
