I remember documenting the G_SkillPropertyInt(SKILLP_ACSReturn) early on.

It's good to see that's actually correct.

The proper way would be to call G_SkillPropertyInt(SKILLP_ACSReturn). That gives you a virtual skill index and allows your mod to function with skill definitions that are non-standard. Directly using the skill index is not recommended.

I want the monsters in my mod on higher difficulty uses special attacks, which would not be accessible for them on lower difficulty.
So I want a way to set some variables in skill definition which allow to do so.

Normally skill related decisions should not be made on this but on the set skill properties. They are not necessarily done so that a higher skill is harder. What are you trying to do?

I think it's just "skill", like "if(skill==0)damage*=0.5;" etc.
