Modifiers Array

@@ Line 51: / Line 51: @@
 Example:
 A dash skill has <code>Modifiers::SkillTriggerEffect</code> that creates a sprite. On dash, the sprite appears. Then in a skill specialization for dash, there is <code>Modifiers::SkillCost</code> that reduces the cost of dash. Putting a point in that specialization reduces the cost, but makes the base skill no longer create the sprite. If in the specialization code <code><array><null /></array></code> is placed before the block for the <code>Modifiers::SkillCost</code>, both now work correctly.

			=Modifiers Array=
			All skills have a modifiers array denoted by <code><array name="modifiers"> ... </array></code> that is global across the skill. It's important to note that individual modifiers within this array are positional and modifiers added in skill specializations need to be moved to the next position in the array by using <code><array><null /></array></code> blocks for each existing modifier, otherwise the new modifiers will overwrite the modifier in the existing position. This is especially important to be aware of when copying code from other classes as the number or position of modifiers may be different.

			Example:
			A dash skill has <code>Modifiers::SkillTriggerEffect</code> that creates a sprite. On dash, the sprite appears. Then in a skill specialization for dash, there is <code>Modifiers::SkillCost</code> that reduces the cost of dash. Putting a point in that specialization reduces the cost, but makes the base skill no longer create the sprite. If in the specialization code <code><array><null /></array></code> is placed before the block for the <code>Modifiers::SkillCost</code>, both now work correctly.
