I was going to just make it a looped action - people tended to want control over the two types of reading
thick karma
I would say it's streamlined well enough that it feels subjectively easier to me than modding e.g. NMS
pseudo ermine
i have an A level in computer science but i fucking suck at programming (they also literally only taught us python in college level...)
thick karma
Hello World in PZ was a smidge faster than in NMS for me
But then again I modded NMS in C# and did not have to do that.
pseudo ermine
nms?
thick karma
I made a mod that propagated plants and animals more so you could find forest planets and such
sour island
Also I finished converting the XP boosting calculations
thick karma
Huge modding scene in NMS
thick karma
Because NMS is not competitive, no one (smart) cares if you mod online
sour island
pretty straight forward except for the whole while() while() thing
I think most of it was to get the right perk (not sure)
thick karma
So people frequently play online with a ton of mods
pseudo ermine
ive been eyeing up nms for a while but its never gotten to the top of my "to play" list
ahh yeah igy
sour island
also TIL if you eat more than 300 proteins you don't get a boost to strength XP
pseudo ermine
fronteir are too money focused to allow modding support for elite dangerous
agile vigil
Also I finished converting the XP boosting calculations
This mean you figured out a way to get real values and things, or did you have to compromise somewhere?
thick karma
I got several hundred hours out of playing and modding NMS so I don't hate the game, but I did leave the game because I am disappointed by how the devs approach updates to that game.
I would say it's a game experience worth exploring

I can't post the function here cause it's 100 character too long but I pulled out all the math they use to convert the raw XP (usually down)
thick karma
They have kept it at $60 when off-sale for SO long it's crazy
sour island
I can now decide to cap it at 0.25 while still taking in proteins, traits, etc
sour island
There's a few quirks in here that I didn't know about tho

But in fairness it does give you quadrillions of planets to explore @pseudo ermine

---perks boostMap based on career and starting traits
local xpBoostID = pXP:getPerkBoost(perk)
local xpBoostMultiplier = 1
if xpBoostID == 0 and (not isSkillExcludedFrom.SpeedReduction(perk)) then
xpBoostMultiplier = 0.25
elseif xpBoostID == 1 and perk==Perks.Sprinting then
xpBoostMultiplier = 1.25
elseif xpBoostID == 1 then
xpBoostMultiplier = 1
elseif xpBoostID == 2 and (not isSkillExcludedFrom.SpeedIncrease(perk)) then
xpBoostMultiplier = 1.33
elseif xpBoostID == 3 and (not isSkillExcludedFrom.SpeedIncrease(perk)) then
xpBoostMultiplier = 1.66

Exciting, though still sounds like a potential issue with mods that modify the XP rate based on original skill level?
thick karma
Haha since it's procgen the game is damn near endless if you just like exploring
pseudo ermine
But in fairness it does give you quadrillions of planets to explore <@2720595780...
yeah and elite gives you 400 billion star systems lol
the amount put into said planets is what i care about xd
thick karma
Last I checked you couldn't land in Elite

Not anywhere interesting

this is why they can start at 3 but not recieve the boosts

sprinting get's it's own caveat if you start with sprinting 1 though

In NMS you can literally take off a planet, fly through atmosphere into space, jump through a black hole to another solar system, fly down to a planet in that system, and land in a lush tropical rainforest.

What a strange thing to work differently in vanilla.
My worries with all the work you've now done is that it seems possible that it works.. Uh.. Worse is the wrong word, but it's less compatible with mods that change xp rates based on character creation skill levels.
pseudo ermine
but its still sparce
thick karma
In NMS you can get inside of your mech, boost off the ground, and (with mods that enable more boost and flight energy for mechs), literally fly to another planet (or more realistically a planet's moon) in your mech.

I don't see how so
This would just flatten/cap the XP as if they didn't start with any added skills
thick karma
Yeah that's why I chose NMS over Elite, I wanted a fuller experience of playing on the ground (in high FPS)
agile vigil
I don't see how so
I usually play with a mod that changes the rates, so instead of: 0.25 > 1 > 1.33 > 1.66 it'd be 1 > 1.25 > 1.5 > 1.75 > 2 for example

sour island
I'm trying to think out what impact it could have
agile vigil
since he's calling addXP
And yeah, that'd mean you're adding his XP on top of existing XP, though. So.. If you're making the XP values equal 0.25 mult, then his level 0+ multipliers would just be even more XP, no?
sour island
What I'd be targeting is lowering the boostmap calc to always be 0
which nets 0.25, yes
but then his added XP would be thrown on top
I think that would be fine(?)

Potentially? 
sour island
well he calls addXP so that would be recorded too actually
I think it should be fine
agile vigil
My head is trying to figure out how I would want to do this exact same thing.
I have the pre-modifier XP recorded in my diary, same as you have with your new hook.
Now I just need to decide what drawbacks I'm willing to have.
Very tempted to simply use AddXP and let the modifiers do their magic when I'm reading the diary, but with a penalty like 20% per trait's difference. (Unless the trait is in some exception list, like Under/Overweight)
sour island

end
this is what I'm doing -- basically as with the vanilla -- sprinting/fitness/strength still get x1, everything gets x0.25
what's weird is sprinting is excluded from reductions but not increases
so I think fast learners can learn how to sprint faster but slow learners are fine lmao
agile vigil
sour island
probably an oversight, the XP code seems very old compared to other stuff
it also confirms that the isoGameCharacter is an isoPlayer before checking nutrition
so this code is probably as old as isoSurvivor
- the fact they don't identify skills based on combat parent for pacifist
if player:HasTrait("Pacifist") and (perk:getParent()==Perks.Combat or perk==Perks.Aiming) then traitMultiplier = 0.75 end
if (IsoGameCharacter.this.Traits.Pacifist.isSet()) {

Perhaps it'd be enough to just default to the mod being unlisted when uploading in Zomboid? Then opening the overlay to your mod afterward. You'll see the yellow banner at the top saying "HEYO UNLISTED BRUV"
Clarification: Keep the drop-down options or what we have now, just make the default selection not-public.

That might work. Only argument I've seen for keeping mods public is to add them to Collections for easier mod download? (E.g. a user can subscribe to a collection, then join the server later, instead of sitting on a semi-cryptic screen in Zomboid)

Your function expects two arguments and you're passing one

it's an array. being passed as one
frank elbow
Mhm, so it's one value (confusing use of "value" here, I realize. I mean to say it's a single variable, not to imply that it isn't a reference type)
Unless you unpack it or otherwise get the player key out of it, it's going to be passed as one argument

Hey all, I've made a few custom zombies and I wanted to add loot to them. I've been looking at the code in TheyKnew and the UndeadSurvivor mod and I cannot for love nor money get it to work for my mod.
I don't fully understand how the code works so I may be missing something and was wondering if someone could explain what I'm doing wrong?
This is the code in question:
`function CheckDrops(zombie)
if not zombie:getOutfitName() then return false end
local outfit = tostring(zombie:getOutfitName());
local inv = zombie:getInventory();
if outfit == "Stalker" then
if 50 >= ZombRand(1, 100) then
inv:AddItems("Base.Maggots", 1);
end
if 30 >= ZombRand(1, 100) then
inv:AddItems("Base.Maggots", 1);
end
end`
I have created a file in the same location of my mod and tried the following:
`function CheckDrops(zombie)
if not zombie:getOutfitName() then return false end
local outfit = tostring(zombie:getOutfitName());
local inv = zombie:getInventory();
if outfit == "*My Zombie Outfit Name*" then
if 100 >= ZombRand(1, 100) then
inv:AddItems("Base.Hat_SantaHat", 1);
end
if 1 >= ZombRand(1, 100) then
inv:AddItems("Base.Hat_SantaHats", 1);
end
end`
I have my name of my outfit (which I know is working and spawning correctly) in place of My Zombie Outfit Name but no matter how many of that zombie I kill I never get a Santa hat (which I chose as a test item but have tried others). Can anyone identify what I am doing wrong?
agile vigil

I have no idea, that's what I'm stuck with, this code if from a mod I was told to look at to figure out how to add loot to zombies, there are a few bits I don't understand at all as I've never used it

You may want to search through the mod you're comparing with to see what calls it, since the function won't run unless it's called

```from the Undead Survivor exampleOh sorry, yeah the code is at the bottom Events.OnZombieDead.Add(CheckDrops);
agile vigil
This line hooks into the "OnZombieDead" event (which fires each time a zombie dies, naturally), and then adds the function named "CheckDrops".
Is that also in your code?

If you run the game with the -debug launch parameter and open a world with the mod enabled, could you press F11, scroll to your lua file in the lower-right corner view, click it, and then double click the line in your code that starts with if not zombie:getOufitName()? (It should change colour)
This sets a breakpoint, so the next time that code is fired, it'll open this view and we can debug from there. Go kill something to trigger it 😛
sour island
the zombie in OnZombieDead is not the body but the zombie before it dies btw
loot doesn't transfer unless it's a dead player
agile vigil
Does that mean Undead Survivor fails to put stuff in zeds' pockets?
sour island
it may have set the zombies as undead players artificially with the boolean or probably yes and they add the loot elsewhere
zombies are very particular with loading/unloading it's kind of a pain but I had the same issue when adding loot for mine

there currently isn't a way to track the deadbody from the onDeadZombie event -- if you want more loot you'll have to add it to the loot distribution for that outfit
brazen grove
I don;t understand coding well enough to understand how to do that. Until now I've gotten by on trial and error lol
sour island
have you ever messed with distributions?
brazen grove
Yes but I use what I understand to be an old method. Because I learned mapping I make a room definition and create the following
SuburbsDistributions.petshop = { counter = { rolls = 2, items = { "Dogfood", 100, "DogChew", 70, } }, }
So I know that the room I set as petshop will spawn that loot in the counters.
As far as I'm aware this is a really old method but it's all I've ever needed.
I have also been given code to add items I've created to categories such as
`BZM.tab_addMagProcedural_Plushies = function(x,count)
ProceduralDistributions = ProceduralDistributions or {};
ProceduralDistributions.list = ProceduralDistributions.list or {};
ProceduralDistributions.list[x] = ProceduralDistributions.list[x] or {};
ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items = ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items or {};
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items,"BZMClothing.SpiffoDredd");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items, count);
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items,"BZMClothing.SpiffoBatman");
table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[x].items, count);
end
BZM.tab_addMagProcedural_Plushies("GigamartToys",0.1)`
But again for me this was copy and paste, I never learned how it worked, just was told that it worked and when I've tested it in debug it shows in the possible loot

I just tried ```require "Items/Distributions"
Distributions.all.Monmouth_UnknownHost = {
rolls = 2,
items = {
"HockeyMask", 100,
"Hat_SantaHatGreen", 100,
"SpiffoTail", 100,

junk = { rolls = 1, items = {} }
}```
and no luck >.<
sour island
that's my bad Distributions should be SuburbsDistributions
also, I haven't gotten one to drop yet
brazen grove
lol
sour island
this is why I hate messing with distributions though
what's the caveat to junk vs items?
I recall something like junk ignores loot %
yeah idk, this is odd

SuburbsDistributions.all.Monmouth_UnknownHost = {
rolls = 2,
items = {
"HockeyMask", 99,

No luck either :/scratch that

Yeah, I'm not sure why it's not spawning stuff
Do you also delete all the zombies around you when testing?
I know that that impacts loot spawn
brazen grove
Yeah I do, delete them all then only spawn in the custom one in batches

I'm going to move the items into junk
wait... that snippet is only in the lootzedtool
I don't see Outfit_ used anywhere else
it's in java java
var9 = (ItemPickerJava.ItemPickerContainer)((ItemPickerJava.ItemPickerRoom)rooms.get("all")).Containers.get("Outfit_" + var4);
🤔 very weird, not sure what about the % chance would warrant not being able to find anything

I just tried the Undead Survivor mod, spawned a bunch of nomads and they all have loads of extra loot on them 😮
and it's all the stuff in the OnDeathDistributions.lua >.<
I don't get how it works lol

brazen grove
It definitely works on that mod, I cannot for love nor money figure out how though
sour island
let me rerun my original method
brazen grove
I've tested it over and over and it works, I just can't replicate it lol
sour island
heh
undead survivor has this
if getActivatedMods():contains("ExpandedHelicopterEvents") then
if 50 >= ZombRand(1, 100) then
inv:AddItems("EHE.ProteinBar", 1);
end
end
Yeah but I don't have ExandedHelicopterEvents installed and it works for me
I think that's just to add the protein bar into the loot pool if the mod is installed right?
sour island
Yeah, just thought it was funny
but yeah I can't seem to replicate the ...wait

Hi all . I have a Pb on a pz mod in development. I spawn a unique bag type object at world creation. There should only be one. This bag has an unlimited capacity and a weight close to zero. The player can thus place it where he wishes. it will serve as a "base" or "shop" . I can then add items (weapons etc) in this bag according to the actions of the players. It all works very well. My problem now. The bag object is saved in a variable named TBAG when it is created. This variable is erased each time the game is restarted or the player dies and recreates a new character.
How to store, save the bag object in lua and find it when we launch the game again (continue game)? Please can you send me some sample code or point me in the right direction...

sour island
don't use .remove()
dull moss
- why?
- what to use instead?
sour island
- I tried looking for a snarky thing online, but it reindexes every index - you might as well run table.insert() for every entry
- depends on the table but you can just
nilkeyed entries
if your keys are numeric then you'll have to figure that one out - it's one of the 12 util functions every modder writes
dull moss
i really dont need keys here
I just need to store 100 numbers
in order in which I write them
unless Im misunderstanding usage of keys
sour island
if your keys are not in numeric order then the order is not accurate
dull moss
which as far as I understand are pretty much good to find stuff in your table by, well, specific key
sour island
one of the weird things about Lua
dull moss
this lua bullshit is getting on my nerves, why couldn't they just make non-keyed tables work fine
ancient grail
If u dont use .remove
U use= nil instead?
dull moss
sour island
you can use nil as is if the key isn't numeric
I have a safe(r) table remove
I can clean it up
what is the condition for removing them?
dull moss
literally jsut oldest one
sour island
so first?
sour island
so I suggest you stick the newest in first
if you nil the last entry the entry is cleanly removed
if you nil something with entries after it the entry stay there as a nil
what I was going to give you literally slides the entries over -- and it's less intensive than remove

Hey, so I'm really new to this, and I want to create a trait that causes you to take damage when you're outside during the day time
I've got my trait available to select in-game but I can't figure out how to actually code the functionality
This is what I would like to happen, a very basic thing I just wrote
if player isOutside and CurrentTime >=09:00 then getMinDamage
Totally sure none of that is in the correct format, but that's the gist of it, any pointers - even to guides would be appreciated
Once I get that working I'll look into getting the moodle added but I just wanted the basic functionality first
dull moss
is that pseudocode of what you have or is that general gist of what you figured what you need so far?
molten cobalt
A general gist, but I need the time to be between 09:00 and 20:00, so greater that 9, but less that 20:00
dull moss
local function vampireTrait()
local player = getPlayer();
local timeOfDay = getGameTime():getTimeOfDay();
if timeOfDay > 9 and timeOfDay < 22 and player:isOutside() then
-- take damage here, havent looked much into it but you should look in bodydamage in javadoc
end
end
Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(vampireTrait)
probably here
ctrl+f for damage, alternatively look through list up here see what probably can be used to deal damage
or wait for someone to help with that. Havent done much bodydamage myself so idk
if you want trait to work every minute use EveryOneMinute
molten cobalt
Ok all that is amazing, thank you 🙂

Is there a mod that adds more stuff to build?
frank elbow
```lua
local function insertValueInSleepTable(value, table)
table.insert(tab...
Unsure if this was just for the sake of example, but something worth noting is that your local table parameter will shadow the global table which contains insert (i.e., table.insert)
dull moss
uh?
frank elbow
So you should either rename the parameter or keep a reference to insert (or the global table)
dull moss
arent passed args local?
frank elbow
They are, I'm saying the second arg will shadow the table in the global scope
frank elbow
Not dumb, I'm just not explaining well 😄
astral dune
shadowing is when you use the same name for a local variable that a global variable has, thereby blocking your access to the global
frank elbow
The table variable that contains insert, remove, etc. is in the global scope. By naming a parameter table, you are shadowing it, which anonymous explained above
dull moss
I do cuz i wanna use global .insert
frank elbow
Mhm
dull moss
Gotcha
cheers
local function insertValueInSleepTable(value, tableToInsertInto)
table.insert(tableToInsertInto, 1, value)
if #tableToInsertInto > 100 then
tableToInsertInto[101] = nil;
end
end```so dis good, right?
frank elbow
Yup, looks good. I wonder why you aren't just returning early to block inserts above 100 rather than undoing them, though
frank elbow
Ohh, gotcha
dull moss
thx
dim hill
Anyone knows why @sour island's Shops & Traders mod won't show anything when I hover "Shops"?
astral dune
p. sure inserting at 1 means the code has to go and redo all the keys in the table, I would probably just implement a ring buffer for something like that
dull moss
redoing keys == reshuffling table or extra processing time?
< my brainscan btw
cuz honestly as long as it doesnt reshuffle im fine with milisecond of extra processing time
astral dune
since you're capping it at 100 it probably doesn't add too much time, but of course it has to reshuffle
frank elbow
Since it's 100 elements to move at most it's not that big of a deal (ninja'd), but I agree w Anonymous that it could be improved
frank elbow
It's not shuffled, it's moving each element by 1
dull moss
ah
astral dune
which is shuffling, lol
dull moss
ye then its fine, its small table
astral dune
I guess we mean different things
frank elbow
Ya, understood as random shuffle
dull moss
shifting != shuffling
frank elbow
Technically it is a shuffle, but everyone uses shuffle to imply randomness
Denotation vs connotation
dull moss
ah
astral dune
shifting is a subset of shuffling
astral dune
either way, as long as you're not doing this every tick, its probably fine
astral dune
ya
sour island
inserting at 1 is also costly?
would the thing I gave him be better than inserting at 1?
also I think I got a working reverse engineer XP calculation
astral dune
costly as in O(n), once every 10 minutes with n = 100 doesn't matter
dull moss
I mean from my moddata names it's quite understandable what kind of mod im making, but either way I came up with cool way to dynamically ear/lose More/Less sleep traits. Every sleep that player takes I mark midpoint, then I count last 100 midpoints averages which is this player preferred sleep schedule (aka when they are used to sleep), then if they sleep withing +-6h of that midpoint it counts for them upkeeping their schedule, if they sleep outside of it, it counts against it. So that way you can shift your schedule and for example sleep between 13-23h marks and stil keep the earned trait cuz your body adjusted to it
pretty cool stuff I think
sour island

It can reload lua files from debug menu like 80% of the time so hoping for textures idk man xd
limber oar
Blech. I wish there was a way to edit textures on-model without needing to boot the game every time...
Change pixel > reboot game > needs to be a diff pixel > reboot game
Turns a small retexture into a whole day's work
patent quiver
Yea, I messed with textures on one item for 3 hours last night.
But tbf I had a rare bug caused by an image that was too large. Make sure your image sizes are correct.
limber oar
They should be, they're drawn directly on the OG textures.
patent quiver
Good. I tried to put an icon in that was like 3x larger than it should have been and it caused my item to not have the "grab" context action
took forever to find the cause
limber oar
At least knowing that everyone else is suffering and it isn't just me helps a little
patent quiver
Same
limber oar
It's especially frustrating because the textures aren't consistently UV mapped, so one pixel somewhere will get stretched out like crazy to wrap around an arm or something
Doing something as simple as "draw a straight line across the skirt hem" is nigh impossible

That's rough

nice
whole system ^
spent last 10 min making it properly calculate average betweem 21pm and 4am cuz it was giving like 12am as an answer
cuz well yaknow (21+4)/2 is 12.5
thought i accounted for that in find midpoint
but was missing that last bit
if midPoint <= 6 then midPoint = midPoint + 24 end
now just need to add passive negative ticking to SleepHeathiness if players are awake for more than 20h and all done
pretty cool, huh
gotta do few more tetsts see if it does everything correctly
is there a way to check modData from debug mode?
like the table
i know that when it throws error you can go dig around in last called variables, including tables
but without that
fully works, both when you sleep thorough midnight (so your starting hour is higher than your end hour) and through the day, when starting hour is lower than end hour
well this was fun
code would look so much cleaner if i didnt have those loggers in but I kinda want to leave them in if I need them again 
like in 29 lines i have 10 ofthem being commented out as loggers

gimme that code a second

maybe this?
^
except there was + 24 missing in 1 place
I cleaned it up a bit actually
lemme send fresh one
ah, local currentPreferredTargetHour = calculateAverage(modData.Last100PreferredHour); should be in the body of main function
actually it'd be less demanding to keep it in both ifs
than to do calculations every 10 min
then i only count it when player is sleeping or after they finished sleeping
sour island

if player:isAsleep() then
if modData.CurrentlySleeping == false then
modData.WentToSleepAt = timeOfDay;
modData.CurrentlySleeping = true;
end
local SleepHealthiness = ((timeOfDay > lowerBoundary or timeOfDay < upperBoundary) and 200) or -200
modData.SleepHealthinessBar = math.min(SleepHealthiness, modData.SleepHealthinessBar + 1 / 6);
print("DTW Logger: Between boundaries of "..lowerBoundary.." and "..upperBoundary);
print("DTW Logger: SleepHealthinessBar ".. modData.SleepHealthinessBar);
end
if not player:isAsleep() and modData.CurrentlySleeping == true then
local time = ((modData.WentToSleepAt > timeOfDay and 24) or 0) + timeOfDay
print("DTW Logger: old currentPreferredTargetHour: "..currentPreferredTargetHour)
print("DTW Logger: findMidpoint("..modData.WentToSleepAt..", "..time..")="..findMidpoint(modData.WentToSleepAt, time));
insertValueInSleepTable(findMidpoint(modData.WentToSleepAt, timeOfDay), modData.Last100PreferredHour);

I am new to modding. I am trying to run a basic Lua in the following directory:

I've enabled the mod but when I play the game nothing happens.

Below is the code in my lua file:
local function EveryTenMinutes()

local player = getSpecificPlayer(0);
-- Java: let the player speak
player:Say("I like turtles.");
end
Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(EveryTenMinutes)
dull moss
for example
local rainProtection = (primaryItem and primaryItem:isProtectFromRainWhileEquipped()) or (secondaryItem and secondaryItem:isProtectFromRainWhileEquipped());
local rainGain = rainIntensity * (rainProtection and 0.5 or 1);
btw there's an issue
currentPreferredTargetHour is cut off from it's define
purple means global
sour island
also it's not just about combining ifs, makes it easier to change later/maintain with out having to jump around
dull moss
ye but then i have to figure out later what was in those ifs
its much easier to read 2 ifs
to me at least
a bit more inconvenient, I agree
sour island
I can see that - that's also why I include extra ()s
helps me keep track of OOP at a glance

also this is not correct
local SleepHealthiness = ((timeOfDay > lowerBoundary or timeOfDay < upperBoundary) and 200) or -200
sour island
did I get it backwards?
dull moss
oh wait no i missed next line
yea no I definitely prefer upper combination to be unfolded
local time = ((modData.WentToSleepAt > timeOfDay and 24) or 0) + timeOfDay this one is short and simple

You can add your own callback to the OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu or OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu events, and add your option(s) to the context. This is how it works in RV Interior to add the "Exit" option when right-clicking in the world inside a vehicle interior:
local function onPlayerSelectExit(player)
sendClientCommand(player, "RVInterior","clientStartExitInterior", {})
end
local function addExitOption(playerId, context)
local player = getSpecificPlayer(playerId)
if RVInterior.playerInsideInterior(player) then
context:addOption(getText("UI_exitrvinterior"), player, onPlayerSelectExit)
end
end
Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(addExitOption)

What's the difference between a "tile object" and a "special object"? I can see that IsoGridSquare has methods to AddSpecialObject and AddTileObject, and that the IsoGenerator calls tile.AddSpecialObject...

@faint jewel there's another method IsoGridSquare.transmitAddObjectToSquare(object, number), but that appears to just be calling AddTileObject followed by either transmitCompleteItemToServer or transmitCompleteItemToClients, depending on whether it's client- or server-side.

That ought to be cool
I sure hope so, I just can't find any info anywhere on that sort of thing
Right now I'm just looking through the code of other mods that add world objects to see if I can piece something together
finite owl
I'd guess a start would be to make an object which is an IsoThumpable, which I believe will generate the event OnWeaponHitThumpable when it's hit by a weapon.
Looks like there are 3 parameters passed to the event callback: the IsoGameCharacter who hit the thumpable (could be a zombie or a player or...), the HandWeapon which was used to hit it, and the IsoThumpable itself.
vast pilot
I would probably use the HandWeapon, so that I can make it give experience to whatever skill that weapon is tied to
Does VSCode have libraries for PZ? I know IntelliJ has some but I'd prefer to not have to download another IDE
finite owl
You'd want to check the 3rd parameter first, to see if it was your training dummy object (because every thumpable in the world will generate that same event when it's hit)

I got my Metal Drum spawning and persisting, if that's of interest. My problem turned out to be not that it wasn't persisting, but that I was creating it incorrectly, so I was getting a pile of invalid objects but my code to check whether the square had a metal drum already wasn't finding one.
I ended up doing this:
local object = ISMetalDrum:new(nil, "crafted_01_29")
object:create(square:getX(), square:getY(), square:getZ(), false, "crafted_01_29")
square:transmitAddObjectToSquare(object.javaObject, -1)
That's somewhat specific to metal drums, but the trick that might be useful is fishing out the javaObject from the returned Lua object to pass to square:transmitAddObjectToSquare
faint jewel
huh?
finite owl
Well, that's an IsoObject (or an IsoThumpable actually) rather than a tile, so I don't know how relevant it is for you.
finite owl
ISMetalDrum is an object defined by PZ in lua/server/MetalDrum/BuildingObjects/ISMetalDrum.lua

well shit.
finite owl
What's the item name of the mall sign?
faint jewel
well i created my own.
and there's two variations
tileSpawn.Tile = that's what feeds in the name.

So I guess that you'd create the object directly using something like IsoThumpable.new(getCell(), square, "your_sprite_name")?
How are you creating it in Lua at the moment?
faint jewel

--this spawns the tile, and pdes not work.

local signData = sign:getModData();
signData.loc = tileSpawn.loc;
sign:transmitModData()
local object = ISMetalDrum:new(nil, sname)
object:create(x, y, z, false, sname)
sq:transmitAddObjectToSquare(object.javaObject, -1)

--sq:AddTileObject(object);
--object:getSprite():setName(sname);
--tileSpawn.spawned = true;
--table.remove(JobBoardTileSpawns.toSpawn, i);
``` throwing all the code i can find at it XDSo the ISMetalDrum javaObject is just created by something like the IsoObject.new call you already have (it's created IsoThumpable.new).
local cell = getWorld():getCell();
self.sq = cell:getGridSquare(x, y, z);
self.javaObject = IsoThumpable.new(cell, self.sq, sprite, north, self);
that's it?

This seems to be related to the issue
"However you must be aware that if you modify the moddata of an object client side, it is not modified server side. IS added methods to sync client/server object like sendObjectChange or transmitModData but these methods are not universally supported by every class.
So whenever you modify moddata on client side and rely on it on server side you will have to send a client command and modify it on the server."

not sure what you want, but literally the message above
I don't know much about the custom-item-definition-and-sprites side of things, as I've mostly been doing code, sorry. If you wanted to spawn the training dummy from code, then something like Skizot's snippet would be a start... you call IsoThumpable.new with the cell, square, sprite name, "north" parameter (?) and a Lua object which wraps the IsoThumpable Java object. But you'd probably want to make a custom piece of furniture that a player can craft and place in the world, and I don't know how to hook that up.
So much of Zomboid's code is hard-coded if statements checking if something is this specific object type, or that specific object type... it's a really brittle and hard-to-extend architecture.
Oh, blah, sorry

That latter part is easy. You'd just need to make a script file that creates a new item with the Movable type, and have that tied to the tile you want it to represent
finite owl
That was meant to be @vast pilot
winter thunder
Then youd just need to make a script for the recipe of that item, which is also simple
fast galleon
If you want to do a simple test, try this
local sign = IsoThumpable.new(sq:getCell(), sq, "KYRO_Tiles_03", false, {})
I've seen callbacks in a recipe when something is crafted, but wouldn't you want it to invoke something when the object is placed?
