Using a pre-existing character as a Character Template

[Vaneyah]

Hi all,

I would like to create a character that has the exact same mechanics, abilities, and base stats as Wortox, but I would like to rework the artwork, animations, voices, quotes etc. 

My question: how do I use the Wortox base files as a Character Template to work off of? Or any of the Klei characters, for that matter? I know that there are various character templates out there (e.g. Extended Sample Character Template), but these don't have the mechanics of say Souls, or Soul Hopping, coded in. 

Thanks in advance!

Each character has their special properties code in their prefab files. so in the games files you'd find it in scripts/prefabs/wortox.lua

You'll notice a lot of similarities in the way it's structured compared to the extended character template, like how it also has a common_postinit and master_postinit function. you'll pretty much have to make your template's code look like his. and he has a lot of code to copy over.
