Any way to change the properties of the character mid-game without changing the skin?

Yes, I am trying to make a basic shapeshift thing (e.g. a Sonic that behaves and looks like Tails)
You might know what I'm trying to create this way but it's fine I'm posting a thread about him in editing anyway

Even though I didn't try this out yet I think your talking about Charabillity in console/commands https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Console/Commands#charability_.3C1.2F2.3E_.3Cvalue.3E its in the wiki

Since this is in Editing Help, I assume you mean in Lua.

The player structure has... well... about everything the player is. It holds fields for the current skin flags in action (charflags), the current primary ability (charability), normal speed (normalspeed) and so on.

Just change them to your desired value and it should work.

Didn't notice player_t had it. I was thinking about modifying skin_t.
Thanks for the help!

Okay, now I only need a way to change the look of the character - everything else is done.

What do you mean by "look"?

The sprite set. I want it to change with the stats.

That's going to be a bit hard.
Because of the SPR2 system in place, you would need to change the player's skin for it to also change the sprites used.

I'd suggest creating an object that follows a player and copies their state, sprite and frame, then change this object's skin accordingly.

Getting somewhere...

From there I just need to make it have a followitem (the "STND" problem is caused by me not including sprites for the states).
Oh, and the delay is nonexistent for the bounce in this form. Lul.

Nvm, somehow managed to do it using player.mo.skin. SOMEHOW player.mo.skin only changed the player's look and not the properties
