[Request] Help making Custom Skills

I have been working on a custom class but I am having issues with some of the skills. It is primarily summon based modeled after my pen and paper d&d character to fit torchlight. Watched a few totorials but they are not veery clear on skill creatioon work flow and some are so all over the place I don't get what they are even trying to do.

All I need is 1 skill, that summons lost souls in rapid succession but they only last like 5 second with a a total of 20 summonable and a 15 second duration at 15 skill points. Applying fire dmg over time to targets that they hit. The rest I am not having to much of a issue with that one just wont work. If someone could help that would be great.

I've experimented with that aspect a little bit, and this would be possible but would take awhile. I only have so much time, but I'll let you know if I get around to it within a couple days or so.

In your skill, create an "event"

For example:
[EVENT_TRIGGER]
<STRING>FILE:media/skills/railman/flamebot/flamebotsummon.layout
<BOOL>NOSTEALEFFECTS:0
<BOOL>PLACEONTARGET:1
<BOOL>DAMAGESHAPES_HIT_ONCE:1
[AFFIXES]
<INTEGER>AFFIXLEVEL:1
<STRING>TARGET:PET
<STRING>AFFIX:RAILMAN_GUNBOT_SUMMON_DURATION
[/affixes]
[/event_trigger]

Note: Event trigger means an animation that has a hit property that will trigger the event

Set an affix or an effect that will give duration for your summons.

Note2: You can also set how many pets (summons) are allowed to be cast regardless how many units are summoned by the layout file

Set your skill to link a layout file that will summon your lost souls.

Within the layout, you will need a timeline and in this timeline, you will set the sequence of summoning and how many times you wish your lost souls to be summoned.

If you happen to have followed my instructions, I hope you guys can continue exploring after that.

Let me know if it needs a broader explanation. Happy modding!
