I think you need to add

ClothingItemExtraOption = Wallet_WearPocket,```
to your wallet item
where `Wallet_WearPocket` is tied to a definition in `media/lua/shard/Translate/[Your Language]/ContextMenu_[YourLanguage].txt`
```ContextMenu_[YourLanguage] = {
    ContextMenu_Wallet_WearPocket= "Put in Pocket",
}```
Obviously you can customize the ContextMenu define to what you want.

#

because you're currying the params, you'll need to capture the function into a table and then table.insert your additional arguments

#

e.g.

local args = {func1()}
table.insert(args, otherArg)
func2(unpack(args))```
#

you don't need to do this if the function call is the last thing in the argument list

#

e.g. func(0, func1()) will work, but func(func1(), 0) will not

#

i dont have a ClothingItem defined so that throws an error, can you set world items as clothing items?

#

ok nvm just found out that is the worldmodel

#

so i took the fannypack ones

#

doesnt make sense, but i dont want to make a new one

#

@vast nacelle thx for your help along the way

oh nice can i just call up WalletMod in the ClothingItem?

vast nacelle
#

Yes

#

@neon bronze Just need to add the files where I listed the paths

#

And put clothingItem = WalletMod, in your wallet item

should lua files added by a mod show up here? mine won't show up when i search it and i'm not even sure if it's running

#

You can search there for your files names but if you had an error pre loading screens, most likely they have not initialised

high cloak
#

oh okay that was probably the case, just realized i had a capitalization error

hey all! I was experimenting with ChatGPT and asked it to create a project zomboid mod for a wind turbine, and it actually created a whole bunch of code that seems at first sight pretty legit, but when comparing it to the actual documentation seems.. well not entirely imaginary, it's somehow somewhat based on how the game does things, and written in lua, but I don't think the definitions and the like are in the right spots :P here's the code if anyone's curious: https://git.dragonhive.net/anthropy-zefnoly-collabs/zomboid/windturbines/-/blob/main/windturbine.lua
I did however want to further try figure out how to make this mod work; do people think it's feasible at all to build such a thing? Is there even a concept of wind in the game, or would I just have to make it a static thing? A friend of mine also made a nice basic model that could be used as windturbine so I got the assets covered I guess, although not sure how to put it in the game

how can you get a thumpable object through its id?

alpine smelt
#

Hey y'all. I'm new to modding PZ and struggling with getting my test mod working. It shows up in the modlist, but is most def not firing in game when enabled.

The screenshot shows the mod's location and the content. Could someone let me know what obvious thing I'm doing wrong?

image.png
bronze yoke
#

any errors or anything in the log?

alpine smelt
#

None that are related. I'm tailing the log while the game runs, lemme check to see if the mod is even loading rq.

#

is there a function that returns the corresponding text for these unique ids that look like

text = "RM_1de8b503-994e-42f5-b589-cc9a0260cded"
#

it looks like they correspond to keys in different translation files

quiet bramble
#

Is possible to call admin commands from a LUA mod server side?

little holly
# fast galleon nice, game does have wind intensity you can use.

that's awesome, that's definitely something I could use. I'm first going to try and put everything in the folder structure as it should be for project zomboid mods, try see if the code does anything at all .. I have no idea how to define buildable things yet, I'm entirely new to modding this game hehe, though I do know a fair bit of other code and made mods for other games like space engineers before

fast galleon
bronze yoke
#

yeah i had a look and like

#

it's cool that it has the overall structure in there but it doesn't really do anything

little holly
#

yea thought so, though it seems to define its base functionality, but it's probably missing a lot of other stuff that's required to make it work

dark wedge
#

its definitely lua, wouldn't give any errors i can see but wouldn't do anything

little holly
#

like it just calls generateElectricity(power)

#

which I'm not sure is a thing

bronze yoke
#

it definitely doesn't have any conception of pz

#

it just assumes what might be there and how things might work

#

it's a mod for a theoretical game

dark wedge
#

could be useful if you need an algorithm for something that can be generic though

little holly
#

yea that's what it does when it doesn't have the right info, but it did pick lua, and if I compare the lua it does seem to have a few of the same functions as I saw in some other code, although not nearly as much as in other files

alpine smelt
#

You may be able to inform ChatGPT about how a PZ mod should be structured. Doing that in a concise input will be hard, but it is probably doable.

#

You would need to do that before requesting that it generate lua for you.

little holly
#

yea I might be able to explain it to chatGPT, it remembers things in its conversation, though it's hard to keep coherent because it'll sometimes overwrite things or hallucinate in other ways

alpine smelt
#

Yep, I had it running a pared down D&D game the other night, but it took a couple hours of figuring out a good input that got it to do things like request die rolls from players.

little holly
#

right now I'm just trying to figure out how it would have to work though, I could always instruct chatGPT once I do know but I'd have to learn it first :P

#

Is mod data used for mod data in general or can you store data specific to a player as well?

alpine smelt
drifting ore
#

I'm reading through the documentation online, on the forums

#

but I don't understand which methods / functions to use for a specific person and which for a global variable that the entire mod needs to use

#

I'm experimenting with a basic code in vsc, so far no luck

# 
getPlayer().getOrCreate('BarricadedWorld')

I know this looks like legit trash probably but I'm on like the 5th try to learn how to use it 🤣

bronze yoke
#

i imagine it's the texture when the object is on the ground

#

or maybe when it's being held

#

if it can just be set on the item and isn't tied to the script it might be just when the item doesn't have a model, otherwise i'd be surprised it doesn't use the script no matter what

drifting ore
#

Maybe this'd work. It's actually a method (learnt the difference recently)

#

So instead of what I posted above, just use getPlayer():create("TableExample")

bronze yoke
#

i think you're a bit confused about how moddata works

drifting ore
#

Probably lol

bronze yoke
#

the ModData object is for moddata that isn't tied to a specific object - we usually call it global mod data

#

e.g. local modData = ModData.getOrCreate("ModName") if you need to store data that isn't tied to an object, for example i have a mod where water becomes unsafe to drink after some time and i store the time it should go bad in global mod data

#

for an object (such as an IsoPlayer) just use local modData = object:getModData()

alpine smelt
#

Is there a way to reload lua without restarting PZ?

bronze yoke
#

reloading your save should reload lua too

drifting ore
#

Hmm. So if I understand correctly.. the first part I do. So global mod data like you said is for things that the entire mod will have and use, not just a player.

local mod data, I use getModData and I assume it'll return a table I can modify?

#

Since I don't see any methods in the docs that will allow me to directly modify it within

bronze yoke
#

getModData() returns a completely normal lua table

drifting ore
#

Is it the same one I put in? Like, if I put one with 2 keys called "name" "lastname" and I add it to a player. I return it, will it still have the same keys?

bronze yoke
#

that depends

#

you can't do ```lua
local t = {1, 2, 3}
player:getModData() = t

drifting ore
#

oh right yeah wanted to ask that as wel, how to asign a table to the player

bronze yoke
#

like you can't put a table 'into' moddata

drifting ore
#

since I only see get or has

small topaz
bronze yoke
#

the 'has' methods are a bit mysterious since all objects that can have moddata do

drifting ore
#

that explains why my if function always returned true even though I never asigned mod data to a player....

bronze yoke
#

replacing the moddata would be undesirable anyway, since you'd wipe everything every other mod has added to it

drifting ore
#

good point

small topaz
#

Another question: Is it possible to put different items in one stack in the inventory?

#

Or will they stack automatically if they have the same displayname??

bronze yoke
#

you want to do things like

local modData = player:getModData()
modData.myValue = 5
modData.anotherValue = "string"
fast galleon
#

I totally tried something like isoObject:getModData() = nil at some point

bronze yoke
#

if you're only referencing it once you can also just do player:getModData().myValue = 5, you can think of getModData() as a totally ordinary lua table reference

drifting ore
#

Ahh I see, so modData is just a variable that will help me access the entire mod data of the player, and the keys are what follows after the dot

small topaz
#

@bronze yoke your thumbsup means: yes, same display name -> same stack?? (sry for interrupting your chat)

bronze yoke
#

that's right

drifting ore
#

No my bad razab I was interrupting yours

bronze yoke
drifting ore
#

Thank you all of you for your patience and support

#

Man I wish I could do like a personal pin for myself in chats

#

Instead of for everyone

#

I learn so much stuff here

small topaz
bronze yoke
#

you can right click -> copy message link and keep a list somewhere

drifting ore
#

Dayum! Yeah I'll use my personal empty server for that

#

that's gold! Just learned another thing! 😄

#

Oh Albion btw, can I accidentally overwrite someones data by using the same key? Or is it specific to my mod?

bronze yoke
#

you can, it's just a table, nothing fancy

drifting ore
#

gotcha, so keep it specific to me

#

🙂

#

my mod, rather

bronze yoke
#

you can add your own subtable if you're worried

#

like ```lua
modData.myModName = {}
modData.myModName.key = myValue

drifting ore
#

That's useful, thank you vm

#

Is all that data clientside? Do I have to ping pong it to server and back to another client to share with them?

bronze yoke
#

of course you should check if your subtable already exists before creating it or you'll override it

bronze yoke
drifting ore
#

Interesting

bronze yoke
#

but there's an object:transmitModData() to send it to everyone else

drifting ore
#

Hmm. Does that return their mod data and you can store it in a function, global one, to let everyone access it or does it take an input for whom to send it to

#

Not really getting that part

bronze yoke
#

it just sends it all to everyone when you call it

drifting ore
#

Ohhh I just reread it abobe

#

Above what you said

#

Since I asigned a local variable called modData to someone, I can use that variable again perhaps to get the same keys and data to show to someone else?

#

I'm known for complicating things so might be just me being a dumbass again 🤣

bronze yoke
#

i'm not really sure i understand the question

drifting ore
#

For example, you have

Player one has in their moddata their age

How would I access it and send that info for a 2nd player to obtain

#

Using transmit data

bronze yoke
# 
local player = getPlayer()
player:getModData().age = 25
player:transmitModData()
drifting ore
#

So in what variable does it store for another player to use?

Like, I did transmit data. Now I do another function where for example

Say:("the other player is " .. variable .. " years old")

bronze yoke
#

in their moddata

#

:Say("the other player is" .. player:getModData().age .. " years old")

drifting ore
#

Yeah so I would still have to send their ID to the server and back to client, to obtain their player object right?

#

Since clientside I can't write player = getPlayerByID () without knowing their ID

bronze yoke
#

if you can't see the other player to grab them in some other way, then the player object won't exist on the client and you won't be able to use its mod data

drifting ore
#

Aha, okay I think I got you now

bronze yoke
#

i may be misremembering, but there might be a special case where player moddata doesn't even need to be transmitted...?

#

i think that was inventory items actually

#

twitch is such a pain the in the bottom some times...

little holly
#

does anyone happen to know how I can get the current wind speed in my serverside lua files? or where I should look in the docs for this kinda info

alpine smelt
little holly
#

I think I can use _forecast:getWindPower() but I'm not entirely sure if I have to require/import anything specific for that

alpine smelt
#

Do you not have access to ClimateManager ?

#

I'd imagine that's what's responsible for actually handling all the active climate stuff.

#

You should be able to use getClimateManager() to return the object. Store that to a local var and then use getWindPower() to return the float.

little holly
#

oh neat, I didn't realize that-- thank you! that's very useful

alpine smelt
#

I didn't test it btw. Just going off what info the class docs have. 🙂

little holly
#

this looks very useful, idk how I didn't find that javadoc before

#

do you happen to know what kind of scale getWindPower() is? I also see GetWindSpeedKph(), but I'm not sure what kind of values to expect in either of those functions

alpine smelt
#

I'd bet that the float is between 0 and 1, and that getWindSpeedKph() converts it into a player readable format.

#

Just based on what I've experienced with PZ's server settings.

little holly
#

yea that would make sense, and a float from 0 to 1 would be nice to work with as power generation multiplier

thick karma
#

Anyone happen to know of any superfunction the game uses to decide when your player cannot continue walking forward for any reason?

true vault
#

Might be a dumb question, but as I'm still learning, figured I'd ask..

With Lua, can you chain functions together? For example:

obj:func1()
obj:func2()
obj:func3()

Can that instead be written as:

obj:func1():funct2():func3()
ruby urchin
true vault

local bc = RadioBroadCast.new("GEN-"..tostring(ZombRand(100000,999999)),-1,-1);

does anyone know what would happen if there was a collision in what I presume is meant to be a unique value here? the "GEN-"..tostring(ZombRand(100000,999999)) part, i mean

high cloak
#

is there a way to store data persistent to a world, and not specific to a player? i searched this channel and i see a lot of people using player:getModData() but i think that is saved in reference to a specific player

hello, i just wondering can someone make brita weapon pack skins.. and if so what must i do and i need to do so

small topaz
# stark kettle hello, i just wondering can someone make brita weapon pack skins.. and if so wha...

Do you want to edit the textures of the weapons? I don't know exactly how Brita's mod is structured but there is might be a folder /media/textures/WorldItems in the mod's folder. This might contain the weapon skins as .png files. As a first try to edit them, you can just paint on these .png files with some image editor (for example GIMP but basic painting could in fact already be done with microsoft paint or something like that).

high cloak
#

maybe an unanswerable question, but are these ids associated with recorded media something that's expected to change in new versions of the game? it appears like they're generated externally

image.png
#

i'm looking for a unique value associated with different recorded media so that i can reliably save it and load it again

bronze yoke
#

they shouldn't change, else existing items would become invalidated (afaik)

high cloak
#

ah okay, thank you

thick karma
#

Ugh... got autowalking working only to realize that the way game does directional changes during Walk-to commands does not smoothly transfer when jogging / sprinting.

#

Also, how to trigger sprint during autowalk on gamepad is a mystery because the cancel function overwrites that button. Death

#

😭

#

And afaik the walk-to command isn't made to play nicely with directional changes, hence their decision to cancel-and-restart the action on each new click in ISWalkToCursor, so I don't think I can work around that too easily. Maybe I should just try to figure out how to send key & button presses instead. If that's even feasible.

how can I access map tiles? or if it's any easier, I want to be able to see the contents of containers in explored areas (boxes, mailboxes, etc.) is this doable?

#

I only can't figure out how to get the containers themselves, I can see how I'd read the items if I had a reference to them

bronze yoke
# 
local objects = getSquare(x, y, z):getObjects()
local container
for i = 0, objects:size() do
    local obj = objects:get(i)
    if obj:getContainer() then
        container = obj:getContainer()
        break
    end
end

if container then
    -- do things to the container
end
```something like this can work
#

you can grab the square by whatever other method you want, and technically a square can have multiple containers on it if you need to account for that

high cloak
#

that looks like exactly what i need, thanks again

humble oriole
#

Is there a way to always walk to a specific side with walkadj? like if I always wanted to walk to the east side of a tile to interact with it?

bronze yoke
#

why not just walk to the tile to the east?

humble oriole
#

is there a walkto instead of walkadj?

bronze yoke
#

i'm pretty sure walkadj is just a proxy for the timed action

#

ISWalkToTimedAction:new(character, square)

You cant get traits that are mutual

#

easier printing the type ( internal name )

#

and using that instead of the label

#

less margin for errors i think

#

and now i see why some appear 2 times

#

in the file generated i have
Label: Baseball PlayerType: BaseballPlayer
Label: Baseball PlayerType: BaseballPlayer2

#

hmmm... now to figure out whats the difference between the 2...

#

its working i think, but i really need to figure out why some traits have the same label for 2 types

ancient grail
#

idont understand what that means

pulsar heath
#

Label: Thick Skinned Type: ThickSkinned
Label: Thick Skinned Type: ThickSkinned2
Label: Thin-skinned Type: Thinskinned
Label: Thin-skinned Type: Thinskinned2

#

you get the internal name of the trait with getType() right?

#

and the label with getLabel()

#

thats the result when i iterate the whole table of traits in traitfactory

#

some trait labels are the same for two differnt trait types

#

ill figure something out later... now i need to get the duration of a game day from the settings

quasi geode
pulsar heath
#

ahhhh, it is installed but not enabled

quasi geode
#

Label: Thick Skinned Type: ThickSkinned2 looks like it is

pulsar heath
#

damn it it is... i thought i had turned it off b4 starting a new save for testing

#

@quasi geode thanks for helping me out

#

anyone can tell me how to get the day length from the settings?

#

never worked with the game settings... time to do some more reading i guess

#

zombie.sandboxoptions is for all saves including the default modes right?

#

im guessing even the default modes are a sandbox ( preconfigured )

quasi geode
#

pretty much. they're just presets. getSandboxOptions():getDayLengthMinutes()

pulsar heath
#

yeah as i thought, thanks once again

#

ok, now just need to update the app, and change the json string and all done... never thought this would be done in a morning... now to the car events...

dull moss
pulsar heath
#

simple stuff

#

adding a trait for x Minutes

#

then after x minutes remove it

dull moss
#

ye thats a simple add and remove

#

after add launch event

#

that will tickdown

#

save moddata on how much is left to tickdown

#

in case of player leaving and reconnecting

pulsar heath
#

thats very pro like 😄

dull moss
#

if when reconnecting timeleft is above 0 then add event that ticksdown

pulsar heath
#

but no need for that much, its part of the integration mod

dull moss
#

ah

pulsar heath
#

so i just need a timer function or something like that

#

no need to persist on disconnect

dull moss
#

i mean

#

if you add trait and they disconnect

#

your timer wont be there next time they reconnect

pulsar heath
#

yeah i know

dull moss
#

so they'll keep trait perma

pulsar heath
#

and do you think it will be worth to keep?

#

😄

dull moss
pulsar heath
#

its twitch chat we are talking about

#

99% of the time it will be a negative trait

dull moss
#

ah u doing twitch integration thing

#

ye

pulsar heath
#

and nobody wants to keep that

dull moss
#

kekw

#

you still should implement it, what if streamer g2g

#

or switches games

you got a point there...

pulsar heath
#

damn you are the man

dull moss
#

in HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_abc"), true, HaloTextHelper.getColorRed()) true or false indicates where arrow points

#

false - down, true - up

#

so when obtaining negative you wanna do red arrow up

#

positive green up

#

and so on

pulsar heath
#

the timeleft is counted in minutes? or seconds?

dull moss
#

i put every10min

#

u can use everyminute

golden sparrow
dull moss
#

ye true

#

actually holyup

#

if there are 2 then its yikes

#

lemme fix

pulsar heath
#

the list of ppl i have to give credits to in the mod will be longer than the mod code 😄

dull moss
#

there, fixed

#

problem that you have to do that if stuff foe every trait since u want to keep count on how much time for each trait left

#

u could make a table

pulsar heath
#

yeah... i actually thought about doing it externaly so that i can manage it easier

#

since i already have a app working as middleman for the game and twitch

#

was thinking maybe, do the timers in the app

#

and simplify the code in the mod

#

just need to make a few changes to the json string the mod reads created by the app

#

but your aproach is more professional

#

and less dr frankenstein, plus im learning more and more stuff from the help i get here

#

and learning is always good 🙂

dull moss
#

instead of making a bunch of ifs in function TraitCheck() you can have table

pulsar heath
#

a table with all the traits added and the time left

#

is that what youre suggesting?

dull moss
#

yea

pulsar heath
#

hmmm game time is a float right?

ancient grail
#

Why is my debug broken stressed 😭

dull moss
#

lemme sse how i track time

ancient grail
pulsar heath
#

since if one day ingame is 60 m, 5 m wuold be 0.083 hours in game? or around that value i think

#

@ancient grail youre not the only one with that problem... so i dont use -debug 😄

#

cheat menu lua interpreter for code testing

#

and when its server related, i have my own dedicated server

dull moss
#

do u want to track IRL time or in-game time?

pulsar heath
#

just because i cant solve the debug problem

#

well if i track ingame time i have to convert it to realworld time

#

unless there is a way to track realworld time in game

dull moss
#

no clue about IRL

pulsar heath
#

anyway, 5m would be around 0.083 hours in game time

#

just need to make a function to convert it based on the day lenght in the settings

dull moss
#

but as for tracking how long something would last you can literally just make a timestamp in modData and then increase it every minute

pulsar heath
#

doesnt seem that hard

ancient grail
#

What huh

#

Whats interpreter

dull moss
#

by timestamp i dont mean actual time i mean literally an integer number

#

that you increase every minute

pulsar heath
#

so basicly a counter

ancient grail
#

What if the debug is broken for all of us

dull moss
#

ye

pulsar heath
#

if counter = x then remove the trait

dull moss
#

yes

#

and reset counter + remove event that counts it

pulsar heath
#

i need a coffee

#

tmi for someone who lacks caffeine, brb

ancient grail
#

How the fuq do i mod without debug?! Amazing you are able to do that @pulsar heath
Thats impossible for me

dull moss
#

wdym without debug

pulsar heath
#

in my case i use the batch to launch the game and the realtime log in a cmd box

ancient grail
#

But youd dont have the commands

#

Like type and enter

dull moss
#

oh lol

#

fuck knows

pulsar heath
#

hold on

ancient grail
#

When did yours broke

pulsar heath
#

mine broke with the last update

ancient grail
#

I bet i need to reinstall

#

When was that

pulsar heath
#

dunno, been away for like 9 months

#

when i got back the game updated to the current version

#

and debug just doesnt work for me

#

either crashes the game

ancient grail
#

Fair enough

pulsar heath
#

or when it runs cant connect to nothing or nobody can connect to the host i create with -debug

#

so i just gave up after verifying files a bunch of time

#

redownloading the game

#

running it without any mods

#

trying with nosteam

#

whatever ppl suggested i tried... still broken so i found an alternative

ancient grail
#

Yeah but the alternative you use is just like a tail

#

Its not really something u can use to send lua console commands

pulsar heath
ancient grail
#

I have an idea!

#

I can use a blank lua file

Enter my command there

And just reload

dull moss
ancient grail
#

That will work right

pulsar heath
#

oops

#

wrong reply

pulsar heath
#

why do you think i was pestering you about traits?

dull moss
#

do you run dynamic submod?

pulsar heath
#

😄

ancient grail
pulsar heath
#

havent tried it yet tbh

ancient grail
#

Tell him yes otherwise he might ignore you hehe

dull moss
pulsar heath
#

the dynamic submod

ancient grail
#

Bye

#

Lol

pulsar heath
#

its on the server

dull moss
#

unfriended blocked reported

ancient grail
#

Haha

pulsar heath
#

but not on my sp saves

dull moss
ancient grail
pulsar heath
#

my last sp save is from november last year

ancient grail
#

Wrong answer ❌

pulsar heath
#

as far as i know the submod wasnt available yet

#

last year...

#

from 2021

#

😄

dull moss
#

sir we're in 2023

pulsar heath
#

i know

dull moss
pulsar heath
#

i managed to not have time to play pz from 2021 nov till around 3 months ago

#

havent updated any of the mods i use, since i've been busy with mine 😐

ancient grail
#

zombie im just trolling cuz idk ehat to do with my life

How do i mod without debug? Tell me

dull moss
#

But ye, if you like submod try our fresh, brand-new cola drink, only 0.99 cents per bottle, try Evolving Traits World, it makes base game perks dynamic and stuff, and much more interesting to get than just get X levels. Well, some of them, at least

pulsar heath
#

@ancient grail i havent found anything i couldnt do with this interpreter mod

#

throw me something you wanna do and ill test it

ancient grail
pulsar heath
#

you can even load files...

#

save files... etc

dull moss
ancient grail
#

Linksies

pulsar heath
#

its part of cheat menu mod

#

it has a lua interpreter in it

ancient grail
dull moss
ancient grail
pulsar heath
#

and it was either using the chead mod lua interpreter or, loading... error... main menu... editing code, loading... error... main meniu

thick karma
pulsar heath
#

this way i just type in the code i wanna try

#

and get the results without needing to reload the save everytime i mess things ups ( and i do mess things up a lot 😄 )

#

its not perfect, but its better than nothing

ancient grail
#

Theres alot of cheat menu which 1

pulsar heath
#

hold on, ill just zip the one i use

ancient grail
#

Sure

pulsar heath
#

if shows in red in the mod list but it still works

#

dang it forgot my coffe... brb

#

forgot the https ... but the browsers are smart...

elfin rapids
#

So i was curious about how much time i need to spend on doing something to get/remove traits with help of dynamic traits.

    player:getModData().DTagoraClaustroCounter = player:getModData().DTagoraClaustroCounter + 1;
elseif not player:isOutside() and player:HasTrait("Claustophobic") then
    player:getModData().DTagoraClaustroCounter = player:getModData().DTagoraClaustroCounter + 1;

Do you guys know how often this +1 is being added or would i need to bring more functions from this lua?

#

I thought that this +1 is being added either every tick or every second

#

but i'm not sure

pulsar heath
#

@dull moss this one is for you

thick karma
pulsar heath
#

but didnt you got it working yesterday?

#

and the issue you had was to change direction?

ancient grail
#

Global variables still know what the value was even after server restart?

pulsar heath
#

its the same as running the code from a lua file inside the mod folder

#

so anything you can do in the mod

#

you can do on that interpreter

ancient grail
#

Have you zipped it?

pulsar heath
#

yup

#

rar'ed it

#

😄

#

so @dull moss

    if not player:HasTrait("abc") then
        player:getTraits():add("abc");
        HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_abc"), false, HaloTextHelper.getColorRed())
        modData.traitTimers["abc"] = 69;
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end

and

    for traitName, timeLeft in pairs(modData.traitTimers) do
        timeLeft = timeLeft - 10;
        if timeLeft <= 0 then
            player:getTraits():remove(traitName);
            HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_"..traitName), true, HaloTextHelper.getColorGreen())
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = nil;
        else
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = timeLeft
        end
    end
    if next(modData.traitTimers) == nil then
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck)
    end
end
#

something like this?!

thick karma
sweet sentinel
#

I didn't know Project Zomboid also uses Lua

thick karma
#

Not for jogging or running

pulsar heath
#

and this

    if modData.traitAbcTimeLeft > 0 or modData.traitXyzTimeLeft > 0
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end
pulsar heath
thick karma
#

Jogging and running have two issues re. the auto-move system:

#

First, they have to be manually activated after choosing destination

#

Second, they don't work while gamepad active.

#

You cannot toggle jog / run either by console command (getPlayer():toggleForceRun(), getCore():setToggleToRun(true)) or by button while automoving on gamepad

pulsar heath
#

maybe check the code from superb survivor or something and see if theres anything there that can help you?

#

it has to use something for the pathing of the npcs it creates right?

thick karma
#

I bet it just uses MoveTo

#

If you are moving an NPC, you have no need to continuously update its destination mid-movement.

#

Same as AutoMoveTo... if you are clicking around, you have no need to continuously update destinations based on player walking states.

#

Also, the run function can be started automatically for KBM click-to-movers.

pulsar heath
#

and i thought i chose something difficult to do...

# 

function addNegativeTrait()
    if not player:HasTrait("abc") then
        player:getTraits():add("abc");
        HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_abc"), false, HaloTextHelper.getColorRed())
        modData.traitTimers["abc"] = 69;
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end
function TraitCheck()
    for traitName, timeLeft in pairs(modData.traitTimers) do
        timeLeft = timeLeft - 10;
        if timeLeft <= 0 then
            player:getTraits():remove(traitName);
            HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_"..traitName), true, HaloTextHelper.getColorGreen())
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = nil;
        else
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = timeLeft
        end
    end
    if next(modData.traitTimers) == nil then
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck)
    end
end
function initializeNegativeTwitchTraits()
    if modData.traitAbcTimeLeft > 0 or modData.traitXyzTimeLeft > 0 then
    Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
    Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end```
thick karma
#

I honestly might not be able to do it at all. If the code that decides to stop me from running with gamepad during moveto is Javaside, it's game over.

#

My mod has very little purpose for KBM people... they can already just click around, which is pretty easy.

#

I mean autowalking is okay

#

But feels a little bit depressing to publish Autowalk for controller

#

because controller players just can't have nice things lol

fast galleon
thick karma
#

😭

pulsar heath
#

but you do have walk to with a controller right?

thick karma
#

No lmao

#

They disable it

#

I could enable that

#

But it's not very useful

#

I mean perhaps the move-to using the map would be useful with gamepad

#

I could consider that

#

but still

#

Not the desired goal at all 😦

fast galleon
thick karma
#

With no gamepad connected, it works

pulsar heath
#

you could do a simple one, using walk to or a similiar method and add some checking to if the player presses the dpad or whatever ( never played pz with a controller )

thick karma
#

With gamepad connected, borkery.

pulsar heath
#

if its left dpad turn left update the walk to to a point a few cells ahead or whatever it is

#

like... make a loop with a pre set distance

#

and listen for controller inputs

#

if its left turn left for the amount of time the pad was pressed and update the walk to point

#

if its down dpad cancel the move to

#

simple stuff like that

#

dunno...

thick karma
#

I actually do set the target a few cells of whatever I am and listen for controller inputs... the problem is if you don't change direction, you quickly reach a point where you need to pick a new destination.

#

Also, this doesn't change that I cannot run during the automove on gamepad, which is a more significant issue

pulsar heath
#

only if you reach the point set to move

#

so check the distance left for that point

#

and when its almost there add some more distance

#

until canceled

thick karma
#

You have to create a new destination

thick karma
#

You can't do that.

#

?

pulsar heath
#

so you cant create a loop that checks if youre reaching the destination set, and if you are set another destination x distance ahead?

#

and inside that loop listen for controller inputs?!

fast galleon
#

Did you see the straf action, which moves the player in a circle in combat stance?

pulsar heath
#

i've seen the walk to make the char stop and start running again whenever i set a new walk to point in the middle of the current one

#

so that is a problem

thick karma
#

But it doesn't let you ADD to your current destination

#

You literally have to stop the action and replace it with a new one

#

You have to literally start a command to reach a new dest

#

In vanilla, the way automove works is this... on click, it does this:

    ISTimedActionQueue.clear(player)
    ISWalkToAction.new(player, location)
#

Every time you click during WalkTo, game does that.

pulsar heath
#

hmmm there has to be a way

#

lemme check something

thick karma
#

Changing the path of the action is not a thing afaik.

#

you create a new path when you need one, or you continue on the old one

thick karma
#

I see commands for isStrafing but none for setting it... not sure how game handles strafing tbh.

fast galleon
#

It's in the mod

thick karma
#

@fast galleon I see... not helpful but thanks for trying. He picks 4 points in a circle on the player's position and just uses walkto behavior

pulsar heath
#

LuaEventManager.triggerEvent("OnPressWalkTo", 0, 0, 0);

#

this is what youre using?!

thick karma
#

I'm sure that function ultimately calls the function I'm using.

#

Actually no

#

That function just gives you access to Walkto

#

It activates the cursor

#

It doesn't fire the actual walking

pulsar heath
#

trying to find the actual fucntion that handles the walking

thick karma
#

Your click during that state fires the walking

#

It's here:

function ISWalkToCursor:create(x, y, z, north, sprite)
    local square = getWorld():getCell():getGridSquare(x, y, z)
    ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.character)
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISWalkToTimedAction:new(self.character, square))
end
pulsar heath
#

and not a timed action

thick karma
#

It's in a building action*

# 
ISWalkToCursor = ISBuildingObject:derive("ISWalkToCursor")
pulsar heath
#

ill try to explain what im thinking

thick karma
#

When you click to "build", it "creates" the path

pulsar heath
#

thats a timed action, but im trying to get ( in the source code )

#

to the actual function that the timed action executes

#

to see if it can be used oustide of the timed action

#

if its exposed or not

#

because if you use a timed action you cant change the values for the action itself since the action if bein' performed i guess

#

but, if its a non timed action you can kinda work around it...

thick karma
#

I'll just share my code for whoever wants to give this more precise thought:

Automove = {}

Automove.lead = 3

Automove.paused = {}

Automove.next = function(player)

    local location = player:getSquare()

    local direction = player:getForwardDirection()

    local target = Location.new(
        player:getX() + Automove.lead * direction:getX(), 
        player:getY() + Automove.lead * direction:getY(), 
        player:getZ()
    )

    local destination = getSquare(target:getX(), target:getY(), target:getZ())

    if not Automove.blocked(location, destination) then
        return target
    end

end

Automove.blocked = function(location, destination)
    return location:isSomethingTo(destination) or location:isBlockedTo(destination) or location:isWallTo(destination) or
        location:isWindowTo(destination) or location:isWindowBlockedTo(destination) or location:isDoorTo(destination)
end

Automove.begin = function(player)

    if not player then player = getPlayer() end

    if not player:isAlive() then return end

    local move = AutomoveAction:new(player)

    move.autoMovement = true
    move.disableProgressBar = true

    ISTimedActionQueue.add(move)

end

Automove.beginAgain = function()

    local nobodyWaiting = true

    for playerIndex = 0, getNumActivePlayers() - 1 do repeat

        local player = getSpecificPlayer(playerIndex)

        if not (player and player:isAlive() and Automove.paused[player]) then break end

        nobodyWaiting = false

        if not player:pressedMovement(false) then

            Automove.paused[player] = nil
            Automove.begin(player)

        end

    until true end

    if nobodyWaiting then

        Events.OnTick.Remove(Automove.beginAgain)

    end

end

Automove.manhattan = function(location, destination)

    local xDiff = math.abs(location:getX() - destination:getX())
    local yDiff = math.abs(location:getY() - destination:getY())
    local zDiff = math.abs(location:getZ() - destination:getZ())

    return xDiff + yDiff + zDiff

end
# 
-- Automove Action

AutomoveAction = ISBaseTimedAction:derive("AutomoveAction");

    if self.player:getVehicle() then return false end
    return getGameSpeed() <= 2;

        return

    self.result = self.player:getPathFindBehavior2():update();

    self.player:getPathFindBehavior2():cancel()
    self.player:setPath2(nil);

    ISBaseTimedAction.perform(self);

    if self.onCompleteFunc then
        local args = self.onCompleteArgs
        self.onCompleteFunc(args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4])
    end
end

function AutomoveAction:setOnComplete(func, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)
    self.onCompleteFunc = func

    o.pathIndex = 0
    o.goal = player:getSquare()
    o.origin = Location.new(player:getX(), player:getY(), player:getZ())
    return o
end
#

Here is where I currently pick a new path periodically to allow player to walk "forever" (until the pathfinder fails basically)

    if Automove.manhattan(location, self.origin) > 0.75 then
        ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.player)
        Automove.begin(self.player)
        return
    end
pulsar heath
#

hmm youre even setting maxtime to -1

#

so that kills one of the theories

thick karma
#

I restart the process every time I get far enough from the origin so that it always keeps finding a new path instead of coming to a stop, if possible.

#

I could probably make it autorun for KBM but I am salty about not knowing how to do it for gamepad

#

(the true primary use case)

pulsar heath
#

.... never used a controller... isnt the keyboard available as well even if using a controller?

thick karma
#

no

#

They lock keyboard input

#

And certain things do not work in the KBM way while joypad is active

#

This is one

#

Presumably because they thought nobody with joypad would use MoveTo

#

(And we wouldn't, tbh)

#

But we might want to hack into it for our own purposes dag nabbit

pulsar heath
#

isnt there a similar fucntion with the controller?

thick karma
#

Hahaha bruh I couldn't even hide my UI when I started this game on controller

#

So, no

#

Lots of similar things missing in controller support

pulsar heath
#

the weird thing is... my old version of the mod used keypresses

thick karma
#

(I added the UI one)

pulsar heath
#

to trigger events

#

and a few of the streamers that used it played on a controller

#

and it still worked

#

so thats confusing to me

#

if the keyboard is locked it shouldnt get the keypress sent

thick karma
#

It's possible they bound keyboard keys using Steam

#

If the mod has no gamepad shortcuts

#

Oh

#

Umm

pulsar heath
#

never even thought about it

thick karma
#

Yeah I dunno

dull moss
pulsar heath
#

i just send virtual keypresses

thick karma
#

Well when I press WASD while gamepad connected, I do not walk around

pulsar heath
#

neither did they

thick karma
#

So SOME keys at least are disabled.

pulsar heath
#

but when pressing the keys assigned to the mod to trigger events on the keyboard they did nothing

#

sending the keypress using touch portal

#

they would trigger the events

#

so im confused

dull moss
thick karma
#

Okay actually some KB stuff is not disabled I was mistaken

#

It just disables certain movement related things, some options in the context menu

Can anyone give me an example on how to remove certain items from the game or to block them from spawning (both in containers and on zombies) ?

thick karma
#

But it does prevent running toggle using that function

#

And that function goes to Java so I don't think I can fix it

pulsar heath
#

@dull moss i ended up with this code, but just changed it in notepad++ havent tested it yet so it will prolly error out the first time i try but its a start


function addNegativeTrait(trait)
    if not player:HasTrait(trait) then
        player:getTraits():add(trait);
        HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_abc"), false, HaloTextHelper.getColorRed())
        modData.traitTimers["abc"] = 69;
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end
function TraitCheck()
    for traitName, timeLeft in pairs(modData.traitTimers) do
        timeLeft = timeLeft - 10;
        if timeLeft <= 0 then
            player:getTraits():remove(traitName);
            HaloTextHelper.addTextWithArrow(player, getText("UI_trait_"..traitName), true, HaloTextHelper.getColorGreen())
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = nil;
        else
            modData.traitTimers[traitName] = timeLeft
        end
    end
    if next(modData.traitTimers) == nil then
        Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck)
    end
end
function initializeNegativeTwitchTraits()
    if modData.traitAbcTimeLeft > 0 or modData.traitXyzTimeLeft > 0 then
    Events.EveryTenMinutes.Remove(TraitCheck);
    Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(TraitCheck);
    end
end```

'cause i had no support for controller in the mod never even thought about it

thick karma
#

They probably did this: Use contextual menu option "Move To Here" on map

elfin rapids
thick karma
#

That would be available to gamepad people presumably @pulsar heath

#

And it would "work" in that they could walk places automatically

#

But a gamepad user would have no way of running

pulsar heath
#

doesnt it allow to alter the walk state like in the keyboard walk to?

thick karma
#

No

#

Lmao

#

It blocks it

#

The exact same commands that work for KBM

#

are blocked during joypad play

#

I have tried sending them via debug during automovement

#

I can trigger run during automove in KBM just fine.

#

Using commands

pulsar heath
#

hold on... it has to be a wway to change the walk state in the controller

fast galleon
thick karma
#

infinite

#

Standard vanilla

pulsar heath
#

-1 means it doesnt have a pre set time to end

dull moss
thick karma
#

many timed actions are -1

pulsar heath
#

that means the action takes as long as the animation or something like that

#

or until it runs the full code of the cycle... dunno just guessing

thick karma
#

Vanilla for comparison @fast galleon :

--
function ISWalkToTimedAction:new (character, location, additionalTest, additionalContext)
    local o = {}
    setmetatable(o, self)
    self.__index = self
    o.character = character;

    o.stopOnWalk = false;
    o.stopOnRun = false;
    o.maxTime = -1;
    o.location = location;
    o.pathIndex = 0;
    o.additionalTest = additionalTest;
    o.additionalContext = additionalContext;
    return o
end
fast galleon
#

I see, I've done negative but not -1 and they cancelled.

thick karma
#

I see, must be hardcoded.

pulsar heath
#

well i need a break and to take care of lunch... almost 14h

thick karma
#

The only way the move action ends is by reaching a success or failure state @pulsar heath

#

No timing at all tmk

pulsar heath
#

sucess by reaching the destination or failure by canceling or no path ?

thick karma
#

Right

pulsar heath
#

im still thinking that it should be possible to change the destination of the action created

thick karma
#

Okay, success, fail, and cancel

#

3 distinct end conditions in vanilla

thick karma
pulsar heath
#

ill mess around with that after lunch

#

there has to be way...

#

in the worse case scenario ill end up pulling my hair out

thick karma
#

Probably that

#

lol

#

I tried it for a long time

#

Behavior was this:

pulsar heath
#

but ill give it a try, not that i know more than you about this subject ( know a lot less ) but youll never know... stupid ppl can do smart things by chance 😄

thick karma
#

I can dip out of the TimedAction just fine, but when I return to it, it continues trying to get to its last unreached path.

#

So e.g. autowalking left, I would take manual control, walk right, and then let go of manual control, and it would automatically start autowalking left again.

#

presumably because the old path was still stored

#

And it wanted to get there

pulsar heath
#

it would go back to the original pre set destination

thick karma
#

I know, and I was changing the destination and it was ignoring the new one.

pulsar heath
#

hmm

thick karma
#

Using self.character:getPathFindBehavior2():pathToLocation(self.location:getX(), self.location:getY(), self.location:getZ());

#

(That's the vanilla version)

#

But pathToLocation determines where you go afaik

#

update moves you along that path

pulsar heath
#

what if just for testing purposes

#

when you set a destination that creates a timed action correct?

thick karma
#

No

#

The timed action contains destinating-setting-and-update behavior

pulsar heath
#

ok but there is a timed action that's created

thick karma
#

The destination setting and update behavior seems to be accessible outside of timed actions, but I'm not sure how well it works outside of them. Couldn't get it to fire correctly.

pulsar heath
#

and that timed action has the destination path etc in it right?

#

if theres info stored, it can be changed

#

have you tried canceling the timed action containing the destination etc

#

and creating a new one

#

inside a loop and see how it behaves?

#

man im starving... be back in a few

golden sparrow
thick karma
#

Client

#

But the initial setting of the destination was also client, and works using an identical command... Also, the command I use to repath works when I cancel the old path as vanilla does.

#

So I'm not inclined to suspect that being client is the issue.

thick karma
#

I want to release this as a Lua mod for ease of end use

thick karma
#

On Javaside they call stuff like player:MoveUnmodded(player:getForwardDirection()), but that doesn't work Lua side 😦

fast galleon
#

What kind of data does a client get from server before they create character / during character creation.

drifting ore
#

does anyone know where I can find the files related to zombie clothes ?

#

to edit spawn chances

fast galleon
#

clothing.xml
?

drifting ore
#

editing the probability should be enough right ?

vast nacelle
#

And then storing the WalkTo action you create somewhere to update as needed

I need help:
How do I make this work

local ducttape = player:getInventory:AddItem("Base.DuctTape");
ducttape:setUseDelta(0.5);

I want to spawn a drainable item with half or quarter of its delta used. Where am I making a mistake ?

fast galleon
#

dang, this really works for me stressed

thick karma
#

It is used to cancel the action when pressing buttons, running into walls, finding an unreachable path, etc.

#

So I know it works

#

Because it does all those things

#

ALso

#

I use update presently to build the new path

#

And that works.

#

I'm gonna try setData again, maybe I used it wrong last time.

drifting ore
#

When you create a custom UI, determine the X and Y coordinates where it appears... what does that actually mean? Like, the axis. Does it mean where the middle of the UI will be, where the bottom right corner will start rendering and all the others from there or something else?

#

I'm having difficulties adding for example a combo box in the middle of the UI. I asign them the same X,Y values yet there's on 2 completely different ends of the screen

thick karma
fast galleon
drifting ore
#

That's odd, wonder why it gets set so far away then

thick karma
#

Not matching

drifting ore
#

hmm, relative as in x - 50 for example?

thick karma
#

So if you want combo box in top-left corner of a panel at 400, 400, set combo's x, y to 0, 0

drifting ore
#

oh shit

thick karma
#

If combo is a child of the panel

#

(Which it should be)

drifting ore
#

Oh mannnnnnnnnnnn

#

I had no idea THAT'S how it worked

#

thank you so much

thick karma
drifting ore
#

That means because it's relative, it sets the X Y of the main panel and then from the main panel, additional X Y what I was doing

thick karma
#

Correct

#

Good luck

drifting ore
#

That's why it was appearing so much to the right lmfao

thick karma
#

Indeed

#

Tried using setData, no dice.

# 
    if Automove.manhattan(location, self.origin) > 0.75 then
        -- ISTimedActionQueue.clear(self.player)
        -- Automove.begin(self.player)
        self.goal = Automove.next(self.player)
        if self.goal then self.player:getPathFindBehavior2():setData(self.goal:getX(), self.goal:getY(), self.goal:getZ()) end
        return
    end
#

At that point in my loop, the commented code makes me continue walking forward (as long as possible.... the uncommented replacement causes me to stop as soon as I call setData on the new position.

all = {
bin = {
rolls = 4,
items = {
"BandageDirty", 1,

#

so in theory, if I change the bandage value from 1 to 0 and upload this as a mod, the edited item should not spawn right ?

thick karma
#

Right.

#

@drifting ore

drifting ore
#

thanks

thick karma
#

Not via that item location category at least

#

If there is an all category I'm guessing it's a small chance of finding that anywhere, but there may be other places where you have alternate chances that might also need to be 0'd

#

e.g. in a medical cabinet

drifting ore
#

no I took the whole file, edit it in its entirety and upload that as a mod

thick karma
#

Cool

#

Well

#

That is a bit risky

drifting ore
#

well I am only removing some things

thick karma
#

Is that ProceduralDistributions?

drifting ore
#

distributions and ProceduralDistributions

#

and clothing.xml as well, I changed the probability of any clothing to 0

thick karma
#

I see. Well that may not work as expected if you just duplicate the Distributions file

#

Issue is this:
Distributions = Distributions or {};
this:
local distributionTable = {
and this:
table.insert(Distributions, 1, distributionTable);

#

So what's going on here is you have a global table and you're adding a local subtable to it

#

So if you remade this entire file as a mod and ran it again

#

It would not overwrite Distributions (which is honestly good compatibility-wise because you would probably break other people's modded items), and so Distributions would still contain distributionTable as its first element.

#

Wait

#

No it wouldn't

#

You would insert your own distributionTable as the first element

#

The original would be second element

#

No idea if that would cause exceptions

#

But it would likely cause mod incompatibility

fast galleon
#

If it's same name/path, the original won't run though.

thick karma
#

Oh okay

drifting ore
#

I see, I dont run a whole lotta mods though

drifting ore
thick karma
#

Is your mod purely for personal use?

drifting ore
#

yup

thick karma
#

Fair enough... Well, if you want to change all in Distributions.lua, I BELIEVE you might consider trying it this way for mod compatibility:

Distributions[1].all.bin.items[2] = 0

#

That would of course be hardcoded

#

You could also use Distributions[1].all.bin.items to get the index of BandageDirty and then change the index right after BandageDirty

#

That is what needs to be done... the index after BandageDirty needs its value changed.

#

@drifting ore

#

Also, this is more efficient than replacing the entire table... haha.

#

But if it's for personal use, your call how compatible you want it to be

# 
local dirtyBandageProbabilityIndex = 0

for index = 1, #Distributions[1].all.bin.items do
  if Distributions[1].all.bin.items[index] == "BandageDirty" then
    dirtyBandageProbabilityIndex = index + 1
    break
  end
end

if dirtyBandageProbabilityIndex > 0 then 
  Distributions[1].all.bin.items[dirtyBandageProbabilityIndex] = 0 
end

@drifting ore
(renamed target to dirtyBandageProbabilityIndex for clarity)

#

I believe that would do it.

#

Haven't tested

thick karma
fast galleon
#

it runs a check of everything and prints mod a overwrites file b

thick karma
#

Oh cool

fast galleon
#

then it starts loading

thick karma
#

Well crap.

#

If I would've known that I would've released one of my bugfixes as a vanilla file overwrite lol

#

Instead of wasting people's time double-loading.

fast galleon
#

if somebody overwrites a vanilla file, it's not guaranteed to be loaded

thick karma
#

Oh good point

#

So bad practice

#

when a mod needs it

Might need help with one more function:

function OnCreate_Example(items, result, player)
  for items:get(i):getType() == "FilledBaggie" then
    if items:get(i):getUsedDelta() == 1/0.75/0.5 then
      result:setUsedDelta(items:get(i):getUsedDelta()-0.25);
    elseif items:get(i):getUsedDelta() == 0.25 then
      ?????result:Remove?????;
      player:getInventory():AddItem("EmptyBaggie"); --here I'd like to remove the result and spawn an "EmptyBaggie" item insted, so is there a replace function or whatever.. can you help me?

I'd like to remove the result entirely.. setting its usedDelta to 0 doesn't replace it as it should with an EmptyBaggie but leaves it with 0 and it can be used again as if it had 0.25 and not 0..

#

Or to make this question simpler.. how do I make a recipe that gives no result

vast nacelle
# ancient grail Ow about this. If you set 1 of em it will auto set the other one?

They have different uses so the other is not called when one is set.
setUseDelta sets how much will be drained whenever Use is called on the item. Essentially its deciding your Max Amount of Uses for a drainable.
setUsedDelta is how you directly control how much is left without calling Use().

So say you have a Drainable with a UseDelta of 0.2.
The Item has 5 uses at max.
If you call setUseDelta(0.1), that item now has 10 uses at max.

If you have an item with a UseDelta of 0.2 and a UsedDelta at 0, you will see 5/5 uses remaining on the item.
If you set UsedDelta to 0.66, you will have ceiling(UsedDelta/UseDelta) uses remaining, i.e. 0.66/0.2 = 3.3 which rounds up to 4 uses.

vast nacelle
livid geode
#

So easy.. again..
Thanks 😄

fast galleon
vast nacelle
#

Wait, what is this recipe doing?
Both the input and result are FilledBaggies?
If you are just using up a bit of the filled bagge, you don't need this OnCreate at all.

#

Having

{
   FilledBagge=1,
   result: Something,
}```
and having the ReplaceOnDeplete like Polt said will handle giving an empty baggie when its depleted without custom recipe code
#

As the '1' in this instance in recipes is just a Use, not the whole item.

livid geode
#

Well I made that recipe to avoid food consumption functions of vanilla, so I can modify the amount of used contents and use custom animations with AnimNode variables.

So I made it a recipe to snort cocaine.
If I set a normal recipe with ReplaceonUse and then Result: , (leaving an empty space) I get EXACTLY what I want but it shows a red error box every time because of a missing result.
So in order to avoid error box appearing, I put in a Result:Cocaine (which is the same item used in the recipe) and then used a OnCreate to remove the crafting item and adjust the results usedDelta. Complicated Ik.. but I didn't know how to leave a Result: blank and not get Errors

#

So that is why I'm asking.. is it possible to not get any result and go through with it without getting error pop-ups

vast nacelle
#

Ah, in that case set the result as your FilledBaggie but add this line to the recipe, RemoveResultItem:true,

livid geode
#

Didn't know that existed.. RemoveResultItem..

#

Thanks a lot

#

Is there a full list of usable functions for recipes and items (such as OnCreate, RemoveResultItem, AnimNode, NeedtoBeLearn, Sound, Time, CanbeDoneFromFloor etc. etc.)? Where could I find the list to help me with future modding?

#

just wanted to ask, whats the difference between isDebug() and isDebugEnabled()? They seem to me to do the same thing

sour island
# 
        @LuaMethod( name = "isDebugEnabled", global = true )
        public static boolean isDebugEnabled() { return Core.bDebug; }
``````java
        @LuaMethod( name = "getDebug", global = true )
        public static boolean getDebug() { return Core.bDebug || GameServer.bServer && GameServer.bDebug; }
drifting ore
neon bronze
#

so isDebugEnabled() just returns wherether the client has Debug on and getDebug returns that or if the server has Debug enabled

#

thats what i understand under Core.bDebug

sour island
#

yes

neon bronze
#

is isDebug the same as getDebug? I dont seem to see that command written anywhere but maybe im blind aswell

pulsar heath
#

isDebug is a boolean i think

#

that is true if debug is enable and false if not

sour island
#

isDebug is for javastuff afaik, where do you see it being used?

ancient grail
#

Yes my debug is back its just cu of a flaw with my code

pulsar heath
#

thought it was like isclient

#

for the name logic... everytime i get isSOMETHING is a boolean

sour island
#

the opposite or paired function to isClient is isServer

pulsar heath
#

i know just giving and example... everything isXXXX that ive found so far is usually a boolean

#

and... why i thought it was a boolean

sour island
#

I don't think isDebug is even exposed though - so where did you see it getting used?

pulsar heath
sour island
#

Misread, my bad

#

but core.debug is a boolean

neon bronze
#

i think im just being schizo i cant find it anywhere aswell

fast galleon

local isDebug = getDebug()
inside my mod, how did you find it

pulsar heath
#

by the end of the month ill be saving a few € thanks to zomboid modding...

perhaps they had to give it another name due to isDebug being a thing in java

You can use require to return a single table

basically making a file a module/package

It's the same thing as using require - loading blocks of Lua - but keeping it local

ooh i was looking where cosmicb linked which was AttachedWeaponDefinitions

#

i didn't realize you hadn't both sent me the same file like i thought you did

fast galleon
#

I haven't used these before, only the ones from the other file cosmicB pointed out.

rancid tendon
#

i'll try on back with bag, because i swear i HAVE seen zombies with weapons in the proper positions before next to bags

drifting ore
#

does editing the values is clothing.xml file affect zombie clothing zones ?

#

so for example if I set it all to zero, there will be no construction crew zombies

I am basically trying to remove all clothing as I am running shadow zombies mod and it really doesnt fit in

#

thanks poltergeist!

drifting ore
#

will that replace them automatically or just there will be nothing spawning ?

vast nacelle

rancid tendon
#

cosmicB more like cosmicG

drifting ore
#

but I dont think this is the solution, as shadow zombies is a zombie retexture

#

so basically only skin is changed and I want to remove all clothing to reflect that

rancid tendon
#

then you'll need to do this and make an outfit that has no clothes, then replace the skin texture

#

if i understand correctly anyway

drifting ore
#

the skin texture is already replaced, it works as intended

#

its just my addition to it is all

rancid tendon
#

right--so now what you need to do is make an 'outfit' that has no clothes, and replace all other outfits with it

#

is the point

drifting ore
#

yup

rancid tendon
#

and this is how you do that

mb someone know how to get in-house light source obj without light switcher obj to remove first one? found nothing useful in pz source

sour island
#

Anyone know if there's a variable specific to IsoPlayer to determine play-time? I'm trying to flag new characters without using onCreate

#

getTimeSurvived() uses gameMinutes hmm

ancient grail
#

theres no such you have to create one

sour island
#

player:getHoursSurvived()

#

i have had no luck modding the house alarm sound

#

it seems the "HouseAlarm" in the script files is a completely different sound entirely that isn't used

vast nacelle
#

It wouldn't surprise me if most if not all of the sounds the game actually uses are kept in the .bank files instead of loose oggs and wavs

pulsar heath
#

i use it in my stats mod

#

in my last save ( used for testing ) it would return 2 days, 19 hours

sour island
#

Yeah, time uses the hours to calculate

#

hours is just a flat int

pulsar heath
#

ok traits events are done...

#

back to the car events... can only stall the engine...

#

trying to figure out how to trigger a flat tire

frank cypress
#

i've managed to change other sounds but the burglar alarm in particular is tricky for some reason

pulsar heath
#

bad joke: it wouldnt be an alarm if it was easy to tamper with 😄

frank cypress
#

good point

#

Can anyone help me on how to make sure some items dont spawn at all ?

#

I've edited the entire distributions and proceduraldistributions files and loaded it as a mod but that did not work

#

Though thank you @vast nacelle your trick did the job

cosmic condor
#

Post your solutions here so that new modders can search for this message and see the solution

vast nacelle
# drifting ore Can anyone help me on how to make sure some items dont spawn at all ?

This will remove a given item from pretty much every spawn list:

RemoveItemFromDistribution(SuburbsDistributions, "YourModule.YourItemType", nil, true);
RemoveItemFromDistribution(VehicleDistributions, "YourModule.YourItemType", nil, true);
RemoveItemFromDistribution(ProceduralDistributions.list, "YourModule.YourItemType", nil, true)```

Thank you, will try it

mycar = player:getVehicle()

            for i = mycar:getPartCount()-1,0,-1 do
                local part = mycar:getPartByIndex(i)
                local cat = part:getCategory() or "Other"
                local item = part:getId()
            end
#

what am i doing wrong...

#

i get the vehicle object

#

is there, i can start and stop the engine using the vehicle object

#

but cant get the parts...

Indie Stone hear my cries... please let gamepad users toggle jog/sprint using keyboard shortcuts so that mods of the Move To function can allow joypad users to jog/sprint while automatically moving to a location. I am guessing pinging you is blasphemy, but I really hope one of you sees this. If there is a boolean flag requiring my gamepad to be disconnected in order to jog or run during an autowalk action in the Java code, please, please, please delete that flag.

#

I am losing my mind on this final step... I'm guessing that it's in the Java madness somewhere, though I don't know where. I feel like I've checked every obvious place in the Lua.

pulsar heath
#

well got to print the parts name...


mycar = player:getVehicle()
print("------ mycar ---> " .. tostring(car))

for i = mycar:getPartCount()-1,0,-1 do
        local part = mycar:getPartByIndex(i)
local cat = part:getCategory() 
local item = part:getId()
if item ~=  nil then
print(item)
end
end```

Seems like movement on joypad is highly Javaside since I don't even have obvious Lua access to L2, R2, or the joysticks...

sour island
#

Have you checked out JoypadManager.class

#

as well as media/lua/shared/JoyPad/JoyPadSetup.lua

fast galleon
#

Alexa start running

#

Does joystick force you to keep run button pressed while running? Just curious.

Well I'll be damned.

#

Wait is it exposed?

#

Seems not 😭

rancid tendon
#

got my first couple of zombie outfits in the game :D

sour island
#

JoypadManager.Joypad is exposed

thick karma
pulsar heath
# 

mycar = player:getVehicle()
print("------ mycar ---> " .. tostring(car))

if mycar ~= nil then
for i = mycar:getPartCount()-1,0,-1 do
        local part = mycar:getPartByIndex(i)
local cat = part:getCategory() 
local item = part:getId()
if item ~=  nil then
print(item)
if item == "TireFrontRight" then
player:Say("setting front right tire condition to 0")
part:setCondition(0)
end
end
end
end
#

it changes the condition but the tire doesnt "die"

thick karma
#

When I type print(JoypadManager.Joypad), I get errors.

#

What am I missing?

#

Oh onPressed​

#

I bet I could call its onPressed with playerIndex, button

#

Or the other way

#

But regardless I can't figure out how it's exposed if that is indeed the case...

Hmmm I will investigate that @dark wedge

dark wedge
#

R2/L2 are considered axis as they give a value of 0-1 depending on how much they are pressed, instead of a button

Vehicle themselves

#

I havent mod any vehicles so idk

pulsar heath
#

dude pz has super tires

thick karma
pulsar heath
#

i set the condition to 0

#

the pressure to 0

vast nacelle
thick karma
#

So it doesn't have any connection between e.g. triggers and jogging

pulsar heath
#

and still... the tire doesnt blow or comes out like it happen to me when i changed tires and forgot to put air in it

thick karma
#

Nor does it explain why jogging/sprinting is blocked on gamepad during WalkTo (which remains my key barrier to happiness in life in general)
