I decided to start messing around with adding enchants to weapons and the very first thing I tried was veil piercing. The recipe works, I can apply the enchant successfully and the weapon then shows the veil piercing text on its description but when I strike a phantom with it, the "-50% Veil-Touched" reduction still occurs. I used the same veil piercing item mod that's used on existing items but it just doesn't seem to work. I also tried just adding the modifier to a weapon directly and it didn't work there either.

I think I must be missing something obvious but having not messed around with item mods before I'm not sure what, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the code I used to add the recipe:

            ]

    ]
}

 

Seems as if the MOD_Veil_Piercing item mod only exists to display the text, without actually doing anything. The two status effects of the general_spirit_veiled ability only seem to care wether the incoming attack has the Veil_Piercing Keyword or not.

"AttackFilter": {
  "KeywordsIDs": [
    "1b6d77c8-1155-4d49-9c7c-548716f0d409"
  ],
  "KeywordLogic": "Not",
  [...]
}

I don't think it's possible to add new Keynwords to existing attacks through ItemMods, sadly. So it might be hard to implement.

 

I did briefly suspect the mod was only adding the description but when I couldn't find any other related mods on the existing veil piercing items I discarded that theory lol. I guess now I know why all the items that have veil piercing start with it rather than adding it in an enchantment. Thanks for the help

I guess I can still implement this through the crafting window (ie, make a separate item with veil piercing baked in), as inelegant as that is.
