Is it possible to have a character give the others the ability to do the bow emote as if they were wearing the Bee Queen's Crown? I tried to look into it myself, but couldn't find the crown's data.

Sure, you just need to have them wear an item with the "regal" tag on it. That can easily be done with any equippable item using AddPrefabPostInit

function ThingPostInit(inst)
  inst:AddTag("regal")
end
AddPrefabPostInit("thing", ThingPostInit)

You can refine it a bit more from there if you wanted to, but that's the basic requirement for it.

Hope that helps

EDIT: You don't even need to check for "ismastersim" since tags are checked by clients as well

If you wanted it to happen naturally without an equipped item, however, you're gunna have to do some stategraph editing since the code only checks for equipped items. Not impossible, just a bit more work

I had that in mind. I don't mind puttin' in the extra work, I might end up learnin' stuff from that.

Yes, modifying SGwilson.lua will be a solution, but you need to copy that file to your mod and modify on that file directly.

However, I prefer to a hacking but API way:

local CHARACTER = "wilson"
AddComponentPostInit("inventory",function(cmp)
	OldEquipHasTag=cmp.EquipHasTag
	function cmp:EquipHasTag(tag)
		if self.inst.prefab==CHARACTER and tag=="regal" then
			return true
		else
			return OldEquipHasTag(self,tag)
		end
	end
end)

in modmain.lua and it is server_only.

Works like a charm! I know ya can't see it, but I'm bowin' to ya.

There's also a way to customize what characters say when bowing.

Well not necessarily, there's API functions that deal with just modifying/appending stategraphs as well so you woudn't need the whole file.
But either way, I like your solution better

Oh, right, AddStategraphPostInit. There's gonna to be indeed a lot of work though, as many functions are required to be overwritten after some inspection. So I give up.
