it_bootcustom and minions

[RavenX]

Mathias,

I noticed in the Editor for the Pathfinder files you have rigged up minions in the Hirelings/Minions tab so that the race can be bootstrapped directly to the minion in the editor.

I also noticed there is a checkbox under it that adds a Hero.FixedRace tag directly to the minion.

I'd like to see the source code that does these things but I can't find any examples of it in the data files I have access to. The kit wiki is also kind of sparse on how to do anything with minions such as mounts. Could you show me how these two things differ from the normal it_bootcustom in the editor so I know how to do them?

Here are the relevant sections of the editor code from PF1 - the one change from normal editor settings is the target="minion" so that the tags and bootstraps are placed on the minion, not the anchor pick:
