deft jacinth Anybody know if anyone is currently working on a total conversion S.T.A.L.K.E.R....

I would love to play that.

#

I would love to play a mod that implements the daytime radiation mod in the Pripyat one.

#

Like the daylight zombifies you over time or something.

deft jacinth Aug 30, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

Been thinking about it ever since I was like 5 hours into PZ years ago. It feels like it would be absolutely perfect for an isometric STALKER experience.

#

Just have psy-zombies like in STALKER if you're outside during an emission and that's where they come from

#

along with animals etc. I don't even want regular zombies

#

I want to just play isometric STALKER lmao

jagged ingot Aug 31, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

I don't think that the zombies will ever become as moddable.

#

Would be an excellent mod to work on...

#

You'd have to modify the client & server's core to get a mod like that going.

Does everyone do the modelling themselves for their mods? I'd do the same, but my modelling kinda sucks.

Hi, does anyone know how call the 'DataInputStream.read(byte[], int offset, int len)' via lua? I'm a bit stuck in this part. I tried passing an empty lua table and it gives me 'no implementation error'. Any idea how to pass byte array? Or do I need to stick with 'readByte()'?

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 4:45 AM

#

when you call a java function, if it expects a java type, then you must pass it one

#

numeric values and strings are converted for you

#

in essence, you would need an instance of a byte[]

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 4:57 AM

#

@calm depot
Thank you for answering.
In that case, I'll just stick to readByte / readLine for text files. I couldn't find a way to initialize java byte array. Even the byte class is not exposed.

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 4:59 AM

@calm depot may I call upon your wisdom at this time

#

I'm trying to figure out why my timed action seems to perpetually get stuck in :perform() whenever it finishes charging the hand crank

#

It'll stop the animation and everything when the player runs, but it'd be nice to stomp out the bug once and for all.

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:01 AM

#

sounds like you forgot to call ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self) at the end of the function

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:02 AM

#

I did though-

#

Which is what's confusing me

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:02 AM

#

paste the code

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:02 AM

#

function ISChargeBattery:perform()
    self.character:stopOrTriggerSound(self.sound)
    print("Done..?")

    -- needed to remove from queue / start next.
    self.handCrank:setJobDelta(0.0)
    ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self);
end

#

(the setJobDelta on the item is copied over from ISTakeFuel since I thought that might've been causing the problem. Apparently not, but it doesn't break things so shrug)

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:03 AM

#

uh, why do you set the job delta to 0?

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:03 AM

#

handCrank job delta is treated seperately from regular jobDelta

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:03 AM

#

yeah, I don't expect it to break things but it doesn't do anything useful either

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:03 AM

Fair tbh

I can delete it rq

But yeah, it just kinda.. loops perform forever for some reason.

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:15 AM

#

    if o.character:isTimedActionInstant() then o.maxTime = 1; end```
You can reduce this statement to
`o.maxTime = o.character:isTimedActionInstant() and 1 or 600`

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:15 AM

#

Not necessary

#

maxTime is overwritten by :setTime() in start code anyways

#

Better to set it up there

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:16 AM

#

then just get rid of the if statement

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:16 AM

#

I am!1

#

I told you it'd be patched!!!

#

smh..

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:16 AM

#

although it would be good if you respected the instant timed actions

#

not a huge deal, but useful for debugging

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:17 AM

#

literally just did this lol

#

maxtime is irrelevant since it's dynamically set anyways so

#

p sure it's required for startup though so I just leave it

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 5:17 AM

#

yeah, the base class probably expects it to have a value

quasi kernel Aug 31, 2022, 5:18 AM

Alright, perfect!

zomboid doesn't care

it's for you to arrange as you see fit

the smart map is just a convenience tool

Is it alright to use 'OnTick' event to create a timer? Or there's a way to create coroutine?

local function onTick()
  local currentTimestampMs = getTimestampMs()
  for k, v in pairs(tFunctions) do
    if (currentTimestampMs - tFunctions[k].timestampMs > tFunctions[k].properties.intervalMs) then
      tFunctions[k].properties.elapsedFunction()
      if (not tFunctions[k].properties.autoReset) then
        tFunctions[k] = nil
      else
        tFunctions[k].timestampMs = getTimestampMs()
      end
    end
  end
end
Events.OnTick.Add(onTick)

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 6:52 AM

#

can you do it? sure. Should you? almost certainly not

#

the real question is why are you implementing a timer

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 6:54 AM

#

is to call delayed functions at certain intervals.
i need it for my custom meta events. just not sure if it's the right way to do it.

#

the server don't have update event to hook so im quite troubled with it

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 6:55 AM

#

there's an event that fires every 10 in-game minutes and every in-game hour

#

oh, there also one for each in-game day

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 6:57 AM

#

how long is 10 mins in-game to real life time? i really forgot to check on this one event 🤦‍♂️

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 6:57 AM

#

depends on what the game speed is set to

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 6:57 AM

#

i'll take a look at it. thank you.

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 6:58 AM

#

at normal speed, 10 minutes is something like 20 seconds

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 6:59 AM

#

hmm.. i could use it for meta event timing.

#

that would be a great choice since the in-game time speed is changeable

#

it really was a hindsight on my part haha. thanks alot

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 7:02 AM

#

I'd suggest rolling once a day to decide if a meta event will happen, if it will, enable an event for the every10/hour - once it fires, have it unregister itself

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 7:09 AM

#

yeap, that's a good idea.
if i want to make a short term roguelike gameplay, what do you think is the best duration for in-game one day?

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 7:10 AM

#

depends on what you're building

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 7:11 AM

#

the gameplay is focused on one time session gameplay so i'm a bit clueless how long should i decide. should i based it on targeted session length?

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 7:11 AM

#

you're asking a game design question and currently you're the only person who knows what the game experience should be like

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 7:13 AM

#

haha, my bad. i just can't make a decision on it. will ask my friends how long they would like to play per session.

#

anyway, thanks a lot olipro. wouldn't have noticed my hindsight without you haha.

empty cove Aug 31, 2022, 12:21 PM

#

You might want to work on custom server data storage for player inventories.
reason would be that, the game's architecture has not fully migrated from SP to MP yet.

get the list of item ids from players when they're connected, compare and store if needed.
update list if player add/remove items from their inventory.

calm depot Aug 31, 2022, 1:42 PM

It isn't when you consider that inventory is basically client-side

#

Until the base game implements full server-side item accounting, I wouldn't recommend designing your mod to do any item operations on the server

Unless you have some compelling scenario where the server absolutely must be coordinating the item operation

how much information can i change on a recipe marked as Override:true

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 8:33 PM

#

what is going on with bullet amounts and the number of items you spawn with a recipe or function

#

how come adding "200" bullets gives you "1800" bullets

#

it's like they are auto-multiplied for some reason

#

do i just need to divide everything by 9? why?

jaunty gate Aug 31, 2022, 8:38 PM

weak sierra happens with cheat menu rebirth and with my own recipes..

Look at the bullet items. "Count" is probably what's causing it. Same thing happens with nails since the count is 5. You tell the game to spawn nails via recipe and it'll spawn 5 nails at a time (unless you use OnCreate or whatever vs just the result item)

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 8:38 PM

so.. can i make it spawn the amount that I want by doing decimal math or do i have to do OnCreate every time i want to spawn less

#

e.g., if count is 9 and i want 200, 200/9 is 22.22..

#

can i put 22.22 in there

#

ugh that won't even round nicely

#

why is this a feature

jaunty gate Aug 31, 2022, 8:46 PM

#

Probably have to use OnCreate and do it that way. Never tried dividing the result item but I'm guessing it won't work.

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 8:46 PM

#

i imagine it'll work if it's evenly divisible lol

#

but.. only then

#

ugh

#

or i can redefine all the items that act like this but then i have to redefine all the recipes that use them :D

#

pain in the butt

#

im already doing this just to work around another limitation in the engine

#

and im faced with another one

#

🙄

jaunty gate Aug 31, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

Yep, it is. I just use OnCreate, spawn what is needed, then "removeitem". May not be the most efficient way (maybe someone else has a better way) but it works so far.

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 8:48 PM

#

oh yeah i remember something i saw though

#

UseDelta on drainables

#

can i make that lower than .1

#

like .01, .001

#

etc

#

googles around

#

seems so

#

guess i can just modify the gunpowder item to make it more granular

#

i was making recipes to work around the limitation of 1 unit out of 10

#

not considering changing that

jaunty gate Aug 31, 2022, 8:49 PM

#

Drainables can be lower than .1 yes. I have a few in my personal mod we run on my server. Pills and other meds mainly.

that'll involve redoing all the work i did today

Is there a way to profile lua functions?

random finch Aug 31, 2022, 9:23 PM

hrmm, there really is no way to determine what object is attacked by a player? Determining if you attacked a player or zed is a none issue with Events.OnWeaponHitCharacter.

zenith smelt Aug 31, 2022, 9:37 PM

I think so and I also think so for zombie attacks as well

#

Such as detecting if thumpable is attacked 😦

Why just don't set count to 1?

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

won't that mess up anything else that assumes count is not 1?

#

i guess i can do that

#

it's really odd how it's seemingly impossible to bypass this count system though

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

It's custom bullets or default?

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:49 PM

#

combination

#

the mod runs on top of VFE

#

so it's mostly default plus two types

#

though VFE may well change the counts

#

no idea

#

can of course look

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

weak sierra so it's mostly default plus two types

Try get code from ItemTweaker and by DoParam set count=1 to items that you need

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:51 PM

do i need to then change ammo unboxing recipes and such too, i assume?

weak sierra do i need to then change ammo unboxing recipes and such too, i assume?

Hmmm

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

see.. that's why i didn't wanna touch it

#

kinda ripples outward..

#

i wish there were a way to just override the count

#

and do X

#

i was sure that OnCreate would let me

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

Why you need get 1 bullet and where?

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

it's an ammocrafting mod

#

and it's for recipes to craft bullets one at a time

#

i could of course craft larger groups but that's kinda weird and then i have to do tons of math to get all the numbers right

#

and i already had to do things to get gunpowder more granular and ratios to adjust the amount of gunpowder to the amount i adjusted the can to

#

it's really weird that we can't just set a container to hold "X units" and instead manipulate through UseDelta

#

and that count exists at all

#

spent all day with this xD

#

rewrote it twice already

#

function UdderlyAmmoCrafting.OnCraft9(items, result, player)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Bullets9mm")
end```

#

i was frankly stunned that this obeyed count

#

maybe there's an overload that i can specify a number

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

weak sierra ```lua function UdderlyAmmoCrafting.OnCraft9(items, result, player) player:g...

This too add 5 bullets?

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

yeah

#

shocked me

#

cheatmenu mod also adds count per 1 u ask it to spawn

#

so i know it isn't just me xD

#

very odd thing for it to do

#

i can always retrieve count and remove N-1 i suppose but it's very odd to need to

#

and lots of excess work

#

so many layers of extra code just to spawn only one 😂

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

Maybe just remove after 4 bullets?

player:getInventory():Remove(player:getInventory():getFirstType("Base.Bullets9mm"))
player:getInventory():Remove(player:getInventory():getFirstType("Base.Bullets9mm"))
player:getInventory():Remove(player:getInventory():getFirstType("Base.Bullets9mm"))
player:getInventory():Remove(player:getInventory():getFirstType("Base.Bullets9mm"))

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

im honestly a little afraid it'll try to remove count, but yeah

#

xD

#

very silly to need to do all this tho

#

to maintain compatibility ill retrieve count in case it changes

#

and do a for loop

tame mulch Aug 31, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

Good way!

weak sierra Aug 31, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

oh hey i can set count on InventoryItem

#

so if i instantiate that and set it to 1 then add it perhaps that'll do

#

oh

#

or i can modify the result item itself and not remove the item..

#

if that works

to a list of tables

random finch Also, Anyone know of any good java modding frameworks upto date with the latest ...

I could just straight up mod java side without a framework, but then Im not sure how people approach the variable names being off & some of the code not being able to be decompiled with something like intellij

wintry stag Sep 1, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

if i use procedural distributions to add to the loottables my custom item, the file that i modify with my item needs to be renamed or stays unchanged like this?

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

random finch I could just straight up mod java side without a framework, but then Im not sure...

there is one, somewhere, i think.. but nobody does that

#

there's no hook for java mods

#

so u have to literally have your users install it manually in the folder

#

that ain't happening for 99.9% of users

#

and legally it probably can't even come precompiled

#

so u'd have to distribute a patcher

random finch Sep 1, 2022, 12:34 AM

#

For MP, definitely not ideal it seems.

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 12:34 AM

just suffer like the rest of us and use lua, or typescript if u want

#

random finch They are using a Java server-side mod.

yeah server-side java mods are more realistic as long as not required on the client

so, i changed GunPowder's UseDelta to .001

#

should give gunpowder 1000 uses

#

or units

#

yeah?

#

i then should be able to use well over 10 units

#

this recipe? nope, game freezes forever when it hits the script.

#

it's almost identical, i had to take a wild guess to even figure it out

#

here's the gunpowder script, just for sanity check

#

    item GunPowder
    {
        DisplayCategory = Material,
        Weight    =    0.01,
        Type    =    Drainable,
        UseDelta = 0.001,

        WeightEmpty = 0.01,
        WorldStaticModel = GunpowderJar,
        /*Override = TRUE,*/
    }```

#

commented that override line out as part of insane testing

#

so did i do anything wrong here, or is this a bug?

#

does UseDelta not give it more units?

#

will it work if i do GunPowder=1, GunPowder;1,?

if i make a syntax error in the item script that is alphabetically first in the mod

#

that error will show

#

then it will hang

#

so i know it's on the recipe script

#

ive very much narrowed the issue to this

#

unless there's a syntax issue in one of my last few recipes

#

goes over them

#

oh

#

maybe that's it

#

there's literally a missing }

#

i can'

I was going to say

#

i can't express how many dozens of hours

#

i lose

sour island Sep 1, 2022, 1:04 AM

#

But the blocks provided were fine

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:04 AM

#

to the lack of a syntax check for this damn script parser

#

i probably spend 20 hours a week

#

just trying to find out why a script breaks

sour island Sep 1, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

If it makes you feel any better the bug for hanging sounds in EHE was a missing bracket around a variable

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

or find out THAT a script broke

#

it's a nightmare

sour island Sep 1, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

The system expected a table

#

But didn't report an issue

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

yeah when it gives errors they never make sense, and most of the time it gives no errors

#

it's EXTREMELY rare that the script thing gives errors that are sensible

#

ok let's see if it works with >10 gunpowder values

#

now that that's fixed

#

i spent all day with working code, but giving me the wrong bullet count, i devise ways to fix that, and it started doing this

#

cuz of a typo during implementation of said fix

#

heh

#

btw i came up with a reusable thing

#

function UdderlyAmmoCrafting.IgnoreCount(items, result, player)
    result:setCount(1)
end```

#

presuming it works

#

should if result is InventoryItem

#

easier than writing separate ones

#

yeah it passed that point in the log

What would be the best way to go about making it so I can detect couches and those chairs with cushions

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

if UseDelta of .1 gives you 10 uses, then UseDelta of .01 should give 100, and .001 should give 1000

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

TileID is one way, but it's messy would require an update every. single. time, something new is added

#

ntm tile packs

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

sprite name checks for keywords hue

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

Better way may be to check if it's not a tileID and check if it's something you can rest on

#

But still requires updates

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

yeah that's not a bad idea

Making a couch searching mod hopefully

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:11 AM

if u come up with that bit of code

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

Idea is I want people to be able to "Check between Cushions" and pull out random items for fun

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

it has a static list of possible sitting tiles atm

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

quasi kernel Idea is I want people to be able to "Check between Cushions" and pull out random...

that'd be neat

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

Stuff like funny rats, remotes, screws, maybe even keys.

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

i'd probably just assume all couch tiles will have "couch" in their name, and let users report ones that don't

#

tbqh

#

the list of ones that don't is likely short af

#

check for restable + couch in sprite name

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

That works

#

Only thing im worried about is like

#

The chairs with cushions

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

they aren't couches

#

unless u WANT them

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

because reasonably you should be able to search those too

#

but idk

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

yeah that's not as easy

#

but IRL that's less liekly to have stuff in it

#

u feel it against chair wood/metal under the cushion

#

and it can fall out more easily

#

more likely to hit floor

#

etc

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

Valid

#

Maybe couches are just the way to go here

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

def easier to heuristically detect by name l.ol

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

hm

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

I'd just use some string.find stuff for the name yea?

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

i've worked with that before but it was with an action not a context menu

#

i did it on sledge destroyu

#

to do checks before letting someone

#

whitelist of what u can sledge by sprite

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

there's a getSpriteName() on IsoObject

i think

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

There is that one mod that lets you get the funny uhhh

#

Fixes on those broken floorboards

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

u could iterate all objects on the square

#

and then do getSpriteName and restable checks

#

and if one exists

#

add context menu item

#

tied to that one

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

Now for the big question

#

How do I associate one part of the couch

#

with a couch

#

So you don't get 2x as much looting

#

from a couch

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

i think there's a system that ties multi-sprite objects together

#

i dont know much bout it

#

but that said

#

there's more cushions to loot the longer it is

#

kinda makes sense to let them

#

just reduce loot per tile

#

and then if it's 2 long u get 2x, and 3 long u get 3x

#

etc

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

Is there even 3 long couches?

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

i dont think so

#

but there could be'

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

hm fair point

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

that said, just halve whatever u were planning to give?

#

unless u meant one item per couch

#

in which case that's hard

#

lol

#

half chance then

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

I'm thinking like 2~3 per couch

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

then 1-1.5 per tile

#

shrugGirl

quasi kernel Sep 1, 2022, 1:17 AM

u add a text file that defines the sandbox options at a certain folder depth of ur mod

and then u add translation strings in the translation folder in the lua/shared/translate

#

Sandbox_EN.txt

#

that defines the text and tooltips for them

and then u reference in code with SandboxVars.MODNAME.THING

ill link u to one of mine that is relatively simple

@weak sierra Maybe it's from the gunpowder use delta?

#

That's my best guess anyways

weak sierra Sep 1, 2022, 2:20 AM

#

i set that to UseDelta 0.001

#

to get a 1000 unit per can

#

#

precisely so that i could have larger values

#

and not just eat a can instantly

#

also not sure why the gunpowder weighs .01 when it has 176 units in it

#

    item GunPowder
    {
        DisplayCategory = Material,
        Weight    =    0.01,
        Type    =    Drainable,
        UseDelta = 0.001,
        UseWhileEquipped = FALSE,
        DisplayName    =    Gunpowder,
        Icon    =    GunpowderJar,
        WeightEmpty = 0.01,
        WorldStaticModel = GunpowderJar,
        /*Override = TRUE,*/
    }```

#

since minimum weight in pz is .01 i made it .01 which i think is per unit.. so it should be heavy..? idk

anyway that's not my primary concern

maybe it relates with BadCold = true,

items which can be cooked have the IsCookable = true tag in their item script

hey, someone can give me some advise about ProceduralDistribution Table not Working?

I just changed the fridges, added one item.

        rolls = 1,
        items = {
            "Burger", 6,
            "Burrito", 10,
            "Corndog", 10,
            "Fries", 6,
            "Hotdog", 6,
            "MuffinFruit", 10,
            "MuffinGeneric", 10,
            "Pizza", 6,
            "Pop", 6,
            "Pop2", 6,
            "Pop3", 6,
            "PopBottle", 6,
            "PopBottle", 6,
            "WhiskeyFull", 2,
            "NukaCola", 20,
        },
        junk = {
            rolls = 1,
            items = {
                
            }
        }
    }

something like that.

#

but in every item

#

the result is loot not spawning :)

#

any help? thx::))

#

and I just realised with necroForge i can spawn the item, so its 100% a procedural Table problem

wintry stag hey, someone can give me some advise about ProceduralDistribution Table not Work...

Procedular distribution?

#

It doesn’t work this way

#

I would use Table inserts

wintry stag Sep 1, 2022, 12:13 PM

#

could you explain me how does that work?

grim rose Sep 1, 2022, 12:15 PM

#

I would love to but i am afar from pc rn

#

But you can look it up in other poeple mods

#

If you want look it up from my mod

#

Okay i found one @wintry stag

#

So

#

require 'Items/ProceduralDistributions'

--PROCEDURAL DISTRIBUTIONS

---["list"]["xplace"]
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["xplace"].items, "modID.item");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["placeX"].items, 10);

#

First is declaration where you add insert to list, second is chance

wintry stag Sep 1, 2022, 12:23 PM

#

grim rose Sep 1, 2022, 12:23 PM

#

#

Do


require 'Items/ProceduralDistributions'

--PROCEDURAL DISTRIBUTIONS

---["list"]["MotelFridge"]
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["MotelFridge"].items, "Nuk.NukaCola.");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions["list"]["MotelFridge"].items, 10);```

i'd rather keep the server out of it, so rather no kicks

#

maybe forcedisconnect

#

zenith smelt Sep 1, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

There's sleep?

#

You can use https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding:Lua_Events/EveryOneMinute

EveryOneMinute

#

It will execute every minute.
Just warn and then yeah disconnect

Anyone know of a way to get ISObject info on objects that you hit or target? Pretty much just want to determine if the object the player hits is thumpable or not.

what is that isoobject info?

random finch Sep 1, 2022, 8:34 PM

#

Pretty much any type of object information on objects that you hit.

#

I have only managed to get target/hit info on zeds & players

zenith smelt Sep 1, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

ohh noo, I tried too, couldn't

#

Do you know what your target may be?

#

I ended up saving the object

random finch Sep 1, 2022, 8:42 PM

#

I dont. The closest i can get is square info on click. From there I can possibly determine which objects exist but then it doesnt work since players can attack objects without directly clicking the object.

#

What's the full mechanic you're trying to do?

random finch Sep 1, 2022, 8:43 PM

#

if player attacks thumpable end
--DO SOMETHING
end

#

havent really thought out the full mechanic until I figured out if this was even possible.

#

Tried this but getThumpTarget() results in nil when attacking a thumpable.

local player = getPlayer(); 
local thump = player:getThumpTarget();
if thump ~= nil then
    player:Say("Attacked a thumpable");
end

Hello, Where can I find documentation on recipe function signatures? I see recipe's have: OnCreate, OnGiveXP and OnTest, but I don't fully understand what's there. I've seen some mods like AuthenticZ and found one signature used with OnGiveXP:

function AZRecipe.OnGiveXP.Tailoring20(AZRecipe, ingredients, result, player)
    player:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Tailoring, 15);
end

Is there any documentation out there that describes what OnGiveXP and other functions signature is?

I've tried google, the wiki, light searching here for "OnCreate" and the https://projectzomboid.com/modding/ site, but I haven't been able to pin point it.

That link is from documentation generated back in 2015 and is heavily outdated.
