FAQPage Schema

How do I calculate block power and armor for shields in Valheim modding?▼

To calculate block power and armor in Valheim modding, use the GetBlockPower method for shields and GetBodyArmor for armor values, applying the canonical calculation rules defined by the skill to ensure accurate combat mechanics.

What is the difference between armor and shield block power in Valheim?▼

Armor reduces incoming damage passively via GetBodyArmor, while shield block power actively mitigates damage during timed blocks via GetBlockPower, requiring distinct tooltip keys like $item_armor and $item_blockarmor for proper UI display.

How do I display armor and block power tooltips in Valheim game UI?▼

To display armor and block power tooltips in Valheim, reference the untranslated text keys $item_armor and $item_blockarmor returned by the GetTooltip() method, ensuring the in-game UI correctly renders the distinct armor and block stats.

Why does my Valheim mod show untranslated tooltip text for armor stats?▼

Untranslated armor tooltip text occurs because GetTooltip() returns raw localization keys like $item_armor and $item_blockarmor, which must be properly mapped and referenced in your mod's UI integration to display correctly in-game.

Do I need YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md to implement Valheim armor mods?▼

Yes, implementing Valheim armor mods requires YAML frontmatter with name and description fields in SKILL.md to codify the armor and tooltip rules, providing a structured blueprint for your mod's integration and skill tree setup.
