Help Needed for Hugging/Kissing Cantrip Mod

[Mr.Kuabster]

Hello everyone,

As bizarre as this may sound, one of my favorite mods for Baldur's Gate was a cantrip that allowed the player to hug or kiss any NPC (I always hugged Jaheira ). Now that Larian has released the official modding toolkit, I’m trying to recreate this mod in a more “official” way so that it's easier for others to download and use.

I’ve gone through the guides on their official mod.io site, but I’m struggling with getting it to work. I was hoping someone here could help me or point me in the right direction!

Here’s a quick overview of how the original mod worked:
- The player had access to a cantrip.
- When activated, the cantrip would present a few options with different body types.
- After selecting a body type, you’d choose the NPC you want to interact with.
- A dialogue would begin with the NPC, and you'd just click through it.
- The hug/kiss animation would play.

I’d appreciate any guidance on:

Toolkit Setup: Any specific tips or steps I might be missing for setting up the modding toolkit?
Animations and Dialogue: How do I trigger an animation like hugging or kissing in-game through a cantrip and dialogue sequence?
Packaging and Sharing: How do I package the mod to make it easy for others to download via the game’s mod manager?

In my attempts, the cantrip always ended up being just an "attack"-type spell.
