so it calculates blood sugar increase based on the amount of carbohydrates in the food eaten

ancient grail Apr 17, 2023, 8:47 AM

#

Oncreate? You can still get the stats from there can you? Not sure

#

If you go debug and print the stats if it shows then i guess you can access it even if its not usong on eat?

#

Does anyone know if there's a mod out there, that allows you to pick up containers with items inside them?

ancient grail Apr 17, 2023, 8:54 AM

#

Thats hard to make

#

Im not sure if its doable

fading horizon Apr 17, 2023, 8:58 AM

#

i'm just gonna put it in :new instead of :perform

#

not as good since it will still trigger if the action is cancelled but

#

its what I can come up with rn

#

it works!

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

fading horizon it works!

alternatively try patching both stop and perform and check eatPercent

fading horizon Apr 17, 2023, 9:11 AM

#

think

#

that's a great idea

#

thank you

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 9:38 AM

#

Weird possible issue, I want to compare two strings but the string uses System.lineSeparator()

#

for me it works if I use "\r\n", would there be an issue with other systems?

#

Should I use string.find in this case.

hey there,

is there a way to change single Zombie Speed, Strength ... without change the complete Sandbox setting ?

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 9:46 AM

#

@sand dagger
seeing as nobody answered, I'll try. Yes, depends on your programming skills.

sand dagger Apr 17, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

lua is normaly not my strength, cause iam c# developer, but if it is possible i will need to find a solution

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

This might require java, not Lua.

sand dagger Apr 17, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

oh well then i need to check this, thanks for the answer

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 10:28 AM

#

How do you get the spriteName of the items in PZ?

#

i mean, for example im searching for the spriteName of the militaryCrate but cant find it, on the game files it only appears al militarycrate

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

if you just want to find it in general, you can press F2 in-game

#

then there's also looking at the unpacked images in tilezed

#

or the tilesheet images

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

Thank you! Dont know where to find the tilesheet images but ill try the first two options 😄

Any idea what this could be? im rying to create an object to test something but this __call metatable error keeps showing
This is my Code:
local sq = getSquare(12483, 4273, 0)
local crate = IsoObject(sq:getCell(), sq, 300001)

nimble spoke Apr 17, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

merry storm Any idea what this could be? im rying to create an object to test something but ...

You should call IsoObject:new()

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

IsoObject.new(...)

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 12:58 PM

#

I see... May I ask what is the difference between using new or just only the class as you see it on the constructor?

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

IsoObject in a Lua context is a regular table.

ancient grail Apr 17, 2023, 1:00 PM

That would be nice, thank you. I'm interested in porting player's idle pose to a mannequin. I tried shuffling files around without a new pose file but that didn't work

to spawn
getDoll("FemaleWhiteMod13")

this is how i spawn it
im not sure how to do it without this lua code
cuz the item script doesnt even contain which animation file it should use

---@param dollPose STRING
function getDoll(dollPose)
    local scripts = getScriptManager():getAllMannequinScripts()
    for i=1,scripts:size() do
        local script = scripts:get(i-1)
        if script:getName() ==  dollPose then
            DebugContextMenu.OnMannequinCreateItem(script)
            break
        end
    end
end

local function doRoll(percent) 
    if percent >= ZombRand(1, 101) then 
        return true 
    end 
end 

function getRandomDoll()
    local scripts = getScriptManager():getAllMannequinScripts()
    local script = scripts:get(ZombRand(1,scripts:size()+1))
    DebugContextMenu.OnMannequinCreateItem(script)
end

#

duplicate one of the poses
rename it
for this example i named it
pose13
this is the direct x file

so i recently posted an update for one of my mods and a few people have reported accumulating fatigue at a faster rate. My mod does have a buff that is involved with fatigue but it should only be a thing for players using a specific profession where as in the reports they are saying everyone is getting it. can anyone tell me what might be wrong with this code here and how I can fix it? ```local function dakiBuffEffect()

local item = nil
local player = getPlayer()

--check if servers  SleepAllowed is on
if getServerOptions():getBoolean("SleepAllowed") then
    -- somewhat counters sleepless traits effect by adding more fatigue but only uptil 0.8
    if player and (player:HasTrait("NightOwl") or player:HasTrait("NeedsLessSleep") or player:HasTrait("Insomniac")) and player:getStats():getFatigue() <= 0.8 then
        player:getStats():setFatigue(player:getStats():getFatigue() + 0.01)
    end
    --  same as above but without the limit
    if player:HasTrait("NeedsMoreSleep") then
        player:getStats():setFatigue(player:getStats():getFatigue() + 0.01)
    end
end

--just type the Profession on the "" and remove the -- on the left side of the line below
if not player:getDescriptor():getProfession() == "Weeb" then return end


-- just type the trait on the "" and remove the -- on the left side of the line below
--if not player:HasTrait("") then return end

--player:getModData()['BuffEffect'] = "daki not found" -- for testing
if player:getInventory():getFirstEvalRecurse(function(item)            
        return item:hasTag("DakiWeapon") or item:hasTag("DakiArmorFront") or item:hasTag("DakiArmorBack")
    end) then
    --player:getModData()['BuffEffect'] = "daki found" -- for testing
    local bodyDamage = player:getBodyDamage()
    local stats = player:getStats()

    bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() - (bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() / 4))
    if bodyDamage:getUnhappynessLevel() < 0 then
        bodyDamage:setUnhappynessLevel(0);
    end
    if player:isAsleep() then
        stats:setStress(stats:getStress() - (stats:getStress() / 4))
        if stats:getStress() < 0 then
            stats:setStress(0);
        end
    end
    -- else  player:getModData()['BuffEffect'] = "something might be wrong" -- for testing
end
--player:Say(player:getModData()['BuffEffect']) -- for testing

end```

dusty wigeon anyone able to tell me how to return multiple results in a recipe

OnCreate is a function executed on the creation of the result. You can register an event and wait a bit, then execute and remove itself to modify the item as needed.

thats what i was thinking wasnt sure if there was an easier way without having to do a whole lua function for each recipe

dusty wigeon Apr 17, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

what do you mean

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

You want to have a flexibly defined result, no?

#

The opposite of flexibility is rigidity.

dusty wigeon Apr 17, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

ok

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

You can however execute a function in Lua when the result is delivered to the player.

#

AFAIK this is how it would be done right now.

dusty wigeon is there a way to make it so it automatically is on when im doing these mods

Not unless TIS supports an official extension type.

I plan to request this on the forums at some point.

dusty wigeon Apr 17, 2023, 5:59 PM

that would be awesome

#

i do love the zed script when i remember to activate it lol

to set a custom use time for items i have to do a timed actions lua right?

Vehicles were so easy, only a method AddVehicleDebug and it just appear on the game on the coords set...Why is so hard with objects?

why don't you look at how carpentry does it?

What is the difference between PipeWrench and PipeWrench template?

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 6:14 PM

#

versed prism What is the difference between PipeWrench and PipeWrench template?

PipeWrench is the meat. PipeWrench-Template is the plate served.

#

PipeWrench is the typings that are generated. PipeWrench-Template is the NodeJS environment to mod and compile to Lua.

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

addtileobject would be better than addspecialobject, special objects are supposed to be doors and windows and stuff, throwing other stuff in there might not work and might cause issues elsewhere

#

oh now that i'm thinking about it i actually have code that adds an object, i'll have a look at it

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 6:18 PM

#

bronze yoke why don't you look at how carpentry does it?

I did, but it uses a IsoThumpable and the AddSpecialObject function, as far as i saw the militaryCrate is a IsoObject, not IsoThumpable.

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 6:18 PM

#

local crate = IsoObject.new(freeSquare, 'furniture_storage_02_17', 'furniture_storage_02_18')
freeSquare:AddTileObject(crate)

#

freeSquare being the IsoGridSquare in this instance

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 6:19 PM

#

Im gonna try the AddTileObject, thank you

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

versed prism What is the difference between PipeWrench and PipeWrench template?

If you use the template environment then you shouldn't need to worry about PipeWrench itself.

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 6:20 PM

#

i wonder what the IsoObject constructor actually does with the square you pass it if it doesn't add itself to it

#

i should check that out

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

bronze yoke ```lua local crate = IsoObject.new(freeSquare, 'furniture_storage_02_17', 'furni...

In this function, what is the difference between the tile and the name? i see that there is only 1 plus on the end, when i check in the game with F2 a pile of militaryCrates they have a different name too.
The one on the ground has: location_military_generic_01_1
and the one on the top has: location_military_generic_01_0

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

My plan is to make VSCode the perfect working environment for PZ modding. =)

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

hmm, that code was written under the impression that they were sprites for different facing directions, but a quick check of the source shows the second string is just meant to be the name of the object

#

you can actually just omit that

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

I can see on the tile that some object have spawned there but i cant see anything,not sure now if those were from before. So the String Tile is the name of the tile where you are placing the object, and the number at the end might be something about where is facing the object

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

i think the numbers are just to do with spritesheets

#

not really my area of expertise but that seemed to be how it was organised

merry storm Apr 17, 2023, 6:34 PM

#

Okey, something happened. I dont know why but at least it spawned hahahah

#

Thank you very much, im gonna dig a bit what made that spawn and control it 😄

Correct. PipeWrench is a non-standard way to mod.

#

Some people prefer the environment and the style of programming Typescript provides over Lua.

#

Some don't. Not a big deal.

#

It's good to have options.

#

If you want to try it again down the line, it'll be there. =)

#

fast galleon fixing works with space after `;`

True. I did see this.. however.. I don't wish to complicate my formatter to suit technicalities that can be fixed in less than two minutes in the Java code that would allow for cleaner formatting eventually... =)

#

The formatter is actually pretty blind.

#

It doesn't know anything other than whitespace, words, delimiters, and scope terminators.

versed prism Apr 17, 2023, 7:41 PM

Sorry for such a basic question, but what exactly do I put in the lua folder vs the scripting folder?

#

fast galleon Apr 17, 2023, 7:43 PM

how do you change a specific file's type in VS anyway? In intellij it's two clicks, while in VS it's a bunch of settings and then it's for all txt?

Sorry. It's been getting close to a year since I actively worked on PipeWrench.

No problem I went in over my head trying to use pipewrench it just sounded better using static typing

Where would I find a library of available functions for zomboid lua?

It's definitely worth trying when you get familiar with PZ.

red tiger Apr 17, 2023, 7:51 PM

versed prism Where would I find a library of available functions for zomboid lua?

I believe there are tools out there for the Lua modders.

#

I only write tools at this point. =/

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 7:52 PM

But lua files are scripts, so what are people putting in /media/scripts?

bronze yoke Apr 17, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

things that arguably don't really count as scripts

#

item scripts, vehicle scripts, model scripts, etc

#

i would just look in the vanilla scripts folder to get a feel for it

neon bronze Apr 17, 2023, 8:04 PM

.txt files go in scripts

you can make different models with the same mesh but with different texture

so just save the new texture in the worlditems texture folder

it was becuase the file was saved as a JPEG and not a PNG

tip for other people adding textures dont save as JPEG lol

Not only that but as far as I know the game doesn't like 32-bit png, so stick to 24-bit for textures

#

Kind of a silly question, but do lua events trigger for each client independently on a server?

#

Like say if I added a function getPlayer() to Events.EveryHours, would that function run multiple times returning each client?

nimble spoke Apr 17, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

If you're running that from the client folder it will run once for each client, returning the player for that client

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

What if I ran that from the server folder?

#

I imagine it would run once, but who would be returned from getPlayer()?

nimble spoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

I guess in that case it fails to return a player

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:01 AM

#

getPlayer() returns player one on the current client, and the server doesn't have a player one

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:03 AM

#

Thats what I originally though okay, I was just reading Soul Filcher's code for their Turning Time mod and they use getPlayer() to determine distance from zombie on a server file

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:04 AM

#

don't be tricked by the folders

#

files in the server folder will still run on the client unless you have code to stop it from doing so

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

oooh okay

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

the client folder doesn't run on the server though

#

if you want something to only run on the server, you can start the file with if isClient() then return end

#

you can also do if not isServer() then return end but that will also stop it from running in singleplayer, which isn't usually what you want

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

Is there a way to fetch the ID of a player by the server?

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:08 AM

#

what do you mean?

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:09 AM

#

I want something to track 1 player on the server, but I want that player to be randomly selected and reevaluated every day

#

I was gonna just add a function to Events.EveryDays but I dont know how to get that random players ID

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:10 AM

#

the best ids to use for something like that are online ids, which you can get with player:getOnlineID() (but note that these don't work in singleplayer)

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

Thats okay this is multiplayer only, okay so I could have a global list and each client appends their online ID to the list on connect right?

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 12:12 AM

#

you could just pick a player randomly from getOnlinePlayers() and store that player object in a variable

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:13 AM

Even better, thanks I didnt see that function

versed prism Apr 18, 2023, 12:25 AM

#

Thanks, im finding it just a little hard though. I cant find much documentation for what most methods actually do

#

Like I think maybe addAggro() would alert them to the player? I'm not sure because it takes both a player value and a float

Please don't lynch me for this lol. I asked it to make me a pvp mod where if a player has pvp on, they cannot attack players who has pvp off and this was the result. I doubt it's correct but I'm thinking this ai could at least help you code along the way.

local function yourFunction(attacker, target, weapon, damage)

@hot patrol by defaul the damage still hits the target so to do bonus dmg is just hit em again

Thank you. Question. Is this something the game does with all melee weapons? or is the damage on players in MP weird with everything? I don't see anything like this anywhere in the base game and I don't see any weapon mods I use using it.

neon bronze Can you define them aswell on what it triggers?

You can create your own trigger points that come back to events you define. Theres a few done this way already in vanilla Lua

#

Off the top of my head, stuff related to shooting guns

#

There's even a hook which is rare - as it supercedes the java block entirely

The enclosure on the if key == 27 line is redundant though.

Steam and non-steam can work with the same account. The steam's account and the gog's IP address will tie in to the same account.

faint jewel Apr 18, 2023, 11:11 PM

#

So by ip then??

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:12 PM

It depends on the server's mode.

You can swtich the mode.

#

You xan verify it's not the same user?

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

But it cannot work with non-steam if steam. Same the other way.

#

What steam users can do though is launch the game from the batch files provided in the installation folder's root.

#

set to nonsteam and play like gog.

#

So if you have nonsteam friends and want to play, go nonsteam.

but I'd rather not go through all that

#

as well as the mac address / hardware

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

It does if you're on a non-steam server

#

otherwise the steamID is compared and blocks you

#

steamID = 0 on non-steam, and split-screen shares the same steamID

bronze yoke Apr 18, 2023, 11:25 PM

but why isn't username sufficient for non-steam then? it seems like it would accomplish the same thing

for people not looking to cheat - yes

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:25 PM

and I'll probably implement that

The IP you would see is Steam's, not the player's

ancient grail Apr 18, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

most of the people there knows how to build mods

#

related to modeling

quartz badge Apr 18, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

i see

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:29 PM

#

Steam has its own traced route that they do whatever with for games.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:29 PM

#

red tiger So people are able to do this without maliciously modifying their clients?

Yes, my mod just checks for steamID - I looked into confirming it's the same person otherwise to no real luck and wasn't really motivated to come up with a clever solution.

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

I'd put that problem on the player for not doing enough to protect their account.

#

That's me.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

It's not a security issue

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

Hmm maybe I'm not understanding what is the issue.

#

It screams security issue. xD

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:31 PM

#

The skill journal mod lets you store XP earned so that your next character can continue given you've been diligent about recording the XP,and didn't lose your body to a horde.

#

I have it store and compare the steamID of the initial author

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:31 PM

#

Oh. That sounds like a really good mod.

#

Hmm'

#

One sec.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:32 PM

#

Non-steam users' don't have a steam ID or seemingly anything to compare to -- and while I could use usernames that still creates an issue of exploiters

#

Where as right now non-steam is a free for all

#

I'd rather it be a FFA than a very short fence some people will elect to hop over

#

@sour island I remember a creation timestamp for players. Maybe try using that.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

@ancient grail use * for emphasis, lol

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

If not, use moddata and create one.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

This has to be across multiple isoPlayers though 😅

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

That timestamp will be unique to that player, not just a steam or non-steam user.

#

Okay. Create a dictionary?

Sorry, I'm not going to be able to help you with the details, and the model isn't in the screenshots, but this mod does what you're looking to do, if you need examples of code and scripts involved.

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:36 PM

#

I'd avoid using IP and SteamID.

#

Use a transient variable tied to each player and map them.

quartz badge Apr 18, 2023, 11:36 PM

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

The server API for this game is too unstable to be reliable in this way.

#

As long as you can tie a transient variable to a player, you can use that instead.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

I don't think I can do that given the isoPlayer is killed off - and in some cases the body is destroyed -- I do believe the client is connected to a corpse though

#

Something to look into I guess

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

Yeah, for sure.

#

Maybe a phrase provided by a player when the player spawns for the first time.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

Ah, which would lock the journal

#

I see what you mean now

red tiger Apr 18, 2023, 11:39 PM

I really like phrases because it solves a lot of this type of problem.

Back before factions were officially written for the game, my system had to deal with some of these issues.

#

Phrases fixed all of them.

It puts responsibility on the players and gives enough security.

sour island Apr 18, 2023, 11:41 PM
