2 questions about RequiredTraits and RequireTraitsDegree in ThoughtDef

[moumix]

So, I had a code that was like this for a custom <ToughtDef>:

Code Select Expand


   <defName>CustomThought</defName>
   [...]
   <requiredTraits>
      <li>Trait1</li>
      <li>Trait2</li>
   </requiredTraits>


But now in my code, Trait1 is part of a "spectrum" trait, with different degrees, and only the negative degree (-1) should have the ThoughtDef. Trait2 is still a standalone trait, with no degrees. As a workaround for now, I duplicated my ThoughtDef and made one for each, like this:

Code Select Expand


<ThoughtDef>
   <defName>CustomThoughtTrait1</defName>
   [...]
   <requiredTraits>
      <li>Trait1</li>
   </requiredTraits>
   <requiredTraitsDegree>-1</requiredTraitsDegree>
   [...]
</ThoughtDef>

<ThoughtDef>
   <defName>CustomThoughtTrait2</defName>
   [...]
   <requiredTraits>
      <li>Trait2</li>
   </requiredTraits>
   [...]
</ThoughtDef>

Is it the best/only way to make that work, or is it possible to have both a standalone trait and a specific degree for another trait in the same ThoughtDef?



Second question about a similar thing, is it possible to have several different degrees in the tag "<requiredTraitsDegree>"? Like this for example:

Code Select Expand


   <requiredTraits>
      <li>Trait1</li>
   </requiredTraits>
   <requiredTraitsDegree>
      <li>-2</li>
      <li>-1</li>
   </requiredTraitsDegree>
