| − | If it bleeds, it leads. Beings inherit from the [[Modding:Thing|Thing]] base class which handles some basic properties in common with items. In addition the [[Modding:Player|Player]] inherits this class, so anything you can do to creatures can be done to the player as well.
| + | Within the context of modding a 'being' can refer to: |
| | | | |
| − | == Prototype ==
| + | * The [[Modding:being_blueprint (0.9.9.7)|being blueprint]], a structure used to define beings |
| − | | + | * The [[Modding:being_API (0.9.9.7)|being API]], a set of functions which can be used to manipulate beings during gameplay |
| − | New beings are created from being prototypes. Think of a being prototype as a recipe for creating new beings. There can be multiple former humans, but they all came from the same prototype. Prototypes are declared by passing a table with the desired properties to the Beings function. [[#Engine Hooks|Engine hooks]] may also be included in the prototype. Mostly, the prototype's properties just describe beings' initial properties (occasionally with different names). Beings' properties can also mostly be changed after they are instantiated. Required fields are underlined. Sometimes required fields can safely be omitted, but this will generate a message in the log file.
| + | * The [[Modding:being_object (0.9.9.7)|being object]], an object that inherits from [[Modding:thing|thing]] which represents creatures in-game as standard, alterable objects |
