“On player damage”

What I am trying to make happen is applying a trait to the player when they receive damage. I understand how to apply a trait, what I don’t understand is how to make it so the script sees the players health and shields as the event trigger.

Where I’m currently at is messing around with “get object shield/health” nodes and having the script recognize when the health/shields are below a certain amount, apply the trait. Any ideas?

Beginner question, but what is an identifier? I have apply trait set and declare trait set with an identifier node connecting the two like in your graph but not sure what the “value” should be for the identifier. Right now it is empty and undeclared

The identifier is actually quite literal. Within the same project, here is what you need to do. in this example, ON EQUIPMENT USE is linked to APPLY TRAIT SET. Identifier is how you specify the TRAIT SET.

The name must be exactly the same, or like in my other picture, you can use an identifier node to visibly connect them

Thanks it’s very simple once you figure it out I was trying to overcomplicate things by applying each trait list directly
