Content types are used for type separation of various content.

Content types are found in Content > Content Types.

This can be used in menus, HUDs or the editor to filter the displayed content by type.

Content types are used by areas, teleports, quests, logs, status values, status effects, abilities, currencies, items, equipment, AI rulesets, crafting recipes, combatants and research trees.

Base Settings #

Define base settings of the content type.

A content type can be set to be hidden, making it not visible to the player. This can be useful for types that are used for checks or hidden game mechanics and shouldn’t be noticed by the player.

Sub Type #

Content types can be set as sub types of other content types.

This allows creating a type hierarchy that can be used in menus and checks.

Damage Type #

A content type defines the damage type of abilities and items using it. Damage types define the animations used by a combatant receving, blocking or evading damage.

Learn more about damage types in this documentation.

Use Range Settings #

A content type can override the default use range for all abilities/items using it as their primary content type.

The default use range is defined in the battle system settings.

Abilities/items can override the content type’s use range (and the default use range).
