Action is always "Load". // The target could techniclly be any number of things, but since we're editing specifclly how an NPC looks, it's most simple to use {{ModID}}/Portaits/<NPCINTERANLID> // You can find NPC internal ID by, for vanilla character, going into "Data/Characters.json" and copying the header of the block (I.e. for Abigail it would be "Abigail") // For custom characters, is it the same idea, just located differently. It would be inside an "EditData" adding the character, under "Entries" // The "FromFile" is very specific and needs to match the exact file structure you have. so for this example, this would be files named `<NPCINTERANLID>_spring`, `<NPCINTERANLID>_summer` etc that would be inside the folders "Assets/Portaits" // the {{TargetWithoutPath}} is a Token that takes the value from the target after the last "/", which in this case would be `<NPCINTERANLID>_spring`, `<NPCINTERANLID>_summer` etc { "Action": "Load", "Target": "{{ModID}}/Portraits/<NPCINTERANLID>_spring, {{ModID}}/Portraits/<NPCINTERANLID>_summer, {{ModID}}/Portraits/<NPCINTERANLID>_fall, {{ModID}}/Portraits/<NPCINTERANLID>_winter", "FromFile": "Assets/Portraits/{{TargetWithoutPath}}.png" }, { //Here we'll use the 'EditImage' action which is... exactly what it sounds like.
