Spawn Pawn Kinds - KonradHeinser/EBSGFramework GitHub Wiki

This ability comp allows you to spawn pawns. The basic comp stuff looks like this:

        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.CompProperties_AbilitySpawnPawnKind">
            </li>
        </comps>

These are the options you have available to you within the comp:

• pawnKind : The PawnKindDef to spawn
• count : Default (1~1) : The number of pawns to spawn. If you want a specific number, you don't need to put a range
• stage : Default (Adult) : The developmental state to assign to each pawn when made. Options are Newborn, Baby, Child, and Adult
• effecter : The EffecterDef to use on the pawn that had the hediff
• spawnEffecter : The EffecterDef to use on each spawned pawn
• attachEffecterToPawn : Default (False) : When true, it attaches the spawnEffecter to each spawned pawn instead of the spawn location
• inCreatorFaction : Default (True) : When true, the comp will attempt to give each spawned pawn the same faction as the pawn the hediff is attached to. If they are a mechanoid that can have an overseer, it will also attempt to make the pawn with the hediff the overseer
• staticFaction : If this is set to something while inCreatorFaction is false, then the pawn will try to spawn with the FactionDef listed here instead of the one listed for their pawn kind
• mentalStateOnSpawn : The MentalStateDef to apply to each spawned pawn. If you want a berserk-like effect while inCreatorFaction is True (the pawn blindly attacks all enemies of the faction), I recommend using EBSG_AggressiveSummon
• hediffOnPawns : A HediffDef to apply to each spawned pawn. If the hediff kills the pawn in under a day and they are in the player's faction, I recommend adding the EBSGFramework.HediffCompProperties_PreventDeathNotifications comp, which doesn't have its own wiki page because it has no options and is of limited use
• severity : Default (1) : The severity to assign the hediff

This example summons 4 to 7 rats who will immediately try finding an enemy of the caster's faction to kill. They die in 4-8 hours, and use the EBSGFramework.HediffCompProperties_PreventDeathNotifications comp to attempt to suppress the death letter:
