#

best way to figure out how to make your mod compatible with another mod is to go look at how that mod works. or look at other mods you know are compatible with it and see how they do it.

#

most likely its an item tag but it could be anything

potent ibex
#

ok ty ill check that, i tho at first it was maybe the category type but nope lol

hidden jungle
#

items have some properties that are important to know
Type is the internal name used by the game to determine what the item is because its display name can change
Name is what is displayed
Category is an arbitrary category system for items and it can also be changed
Tags are assigned to items based on their functions. ie: all the hammer items have "Hammer" as a tag and thats how the game knows they can be used for hammering purposes without needing a list of every valid item.

weary matrix
#

well zombie:knockDown(true) is working perfectly fine for my mod 🤷‍♂️
Unless some pz update broke it recently but no one complained so far

hidden jungle
weary matrix
#

ah I see

#

then you might want to check all the Hit*() methods maybes?

hidden jungle
#

its aight, i shelved the idea for now. i'm just gonna leave it as a stagger effect instead.

on a separate note, is there any way to detect when a player shouts? like with Q

weary matrix
#

AFAIK all the functions to make the player speak end up calling IsoPlayer.Say()

#

so unless there's a way to detect shouting by "hearing" it, I doubt it's possible

hidden jungle
#

what about detecting the keypress?
maybe you can pull the control scheme and have a function trigger on key press?

hey guys can you guys help me on making an way to npcs naturally spawn on aiteron npc mod? project humanoid

hidden jungle
#

that would be a question for #mod_support in here we're talking about the internals of zomboid modding.

stone garden
#

im making an modification in code

#

im trying to do modding to make npcs spawn naturally in The project humanoid im trying do it with coding

turbid gale
#

it would be possible to intercept the lua before it fires though

stone garden
#

can anyone help at the part of npcs spawn naturally im trying to program that to make it work

#

like an submod

turbid gale
#

by intercepting both ISEmoteRadialMenu:emote and ISEmoteRadialMenu.onKeyReleased

#

ISEmoteRadialMenu.onKeyReleased actually doesn't even have to be intercepted actually, as you can't technically. It would be best to have your own function fire with the same event hook and conditions

bronze yoke
#

if it's only called from lua as mentioned above, you could just hook the metatable for Callout

pseudo estuary
#

Am I able to make my mods and test offline? I just moved today and don’t have internet

turbid gale
#

is that how it works?

#

as it seems like Callout is on the Java end of the game and not the lua side

bronze yoke
#

yeah, but you can still mess with the lua reference to that method

#

as long as it's called from lua it has to go through that

turbid gale
#

interesting 🤔

#

that would 100% be the better way to do it then

stone garden
#

can you guys help me

#

im trying to make npcs spawn naturally at project humanoid with lua

isnt that going to trigger on all sounds though?

#

@stone garden what's the issue exactly? Shouldn't be too hard. Also isn't it already implemented in Aiteron's mod?

but each one i tried doenst work

can you give me some ?

stone garden
weary matrix
#

but if you have some code snippets I might be able to help you getting it to work

stone garden
#

OnGameStart.Add(<function>); EveryHour (in-game hour)

#

i tried this one

weary matrix
#

I fail to see how that would spawn a NPC 🤔

stone garden
#

well

#

you got any solution?

weary matrix
#

well I already told you I don't

stone garden
#

well

weary matrix
#

Why aren't you checking Aiteron mod? He's definitely spawning NPCs, so it would be a good start

stone garden
weary matrix
#

what do you mean by "they don't spawn automatically"? When I've been trying Aiteron's mod, NPCs would spawn, and it wasn't a manual thing, meaning it had to be automatic somehow

stone garden
#

is there an solution to increase frequency

weary matrix
#

probably yes, you'd have to dig his code to find out though

heady crystal
#

Anybody here have tile ed and would be willing to help a modder out? I'll see myself out for that pun but still!

potent ibex
#

nope i really don't get it how to make a custom item attachable with the mod noir attachment, checked all the codes and can't find it :/

weary matrix

#

I mean you can download the tileset separately from tilez

#

IIRC it's just a zipped folder with all the tiles

And I actually may need a property or two

@late hound sorry to ping you! I need your help if you have time of course. ❤️

any clue what could identify a server uniquely? I've been using the IP address but it's actually not a good idea because it's sensitive information that shouldn't be embedded in code

mellow frigate
weary matrix
#

the name is too easy to change, and I need a value that would persist over a restart

Anyway, guess I'll sleep on it. See you guys

pearl citrus
# weary matrix any clue what could identify a server uniquely? I've been using the IP address b...

well if you want to go turbo nerd you could set up some public-key encryption and encrypt a message with your private key, allowing your users to decrypt with your public key to reveal the contents of your message, that way any prospecting charlatans who wish to pose as you will need to either get access to your private key, or break modern security standards as we know it!

but there's probably an easier way

pearl citrus
# weary matrix any clue what could identify a server uniquely? I've been using the IP address b...

I will say though, depending on your concern for your privacy, an IP doesn't reveal that much information. Especially as a lot of ISPs will change your IP whenever your router disconnects, meaning you don't have a persisting IP. Mind, not all of them do it, but yeah.
There's not an awful lot the average person can do if they get your IP - maybe figure out your country or state, but beyond that it's very unreliable for location data. Unless you're being targeted by a hacker group, it probably isn't much of a concern.

If you are very concious about your privacy, you could set up a forwarding proxy or something to mask that IP while still allowing people to access through an IP, but that's not something I have experience in and it's probably overkill.

#

hm, i didn't make these ping replies so they might not see this, i should probably @weary matrix in case they get any use out of it

#

also im reasonably sure that if people are connecting to your server they can probably get your ip if they want anyway

charred patrol
#

well ppl always scare about exposing their ip to public, but still willing to give out phone number or address for online shopping Hmmmm

pearl citrus
#

using phone numbers for identification is dumb and i hope websites stop it :(

#

doubly so because they'll normally send text messages with codes and stuff, and sms is totally unencrypted!!!

#

ooh looking that up though it seems there's a new protocol called rcs that actually has an encryption
i'd rather we just do away with texts all together but that's something!

#

anyway sorry this isn't crunchys-tech-security back to zomboid with me

Anyone familiar with any mods that use evolved recipes for something that isn't cooking?

@ancient grail
how do vanilla animations like fire work? Is it made from the fire.frag and fire.vert files, because I see no tiles.

Tile animation

#

It can be found on the vanilla pack files

hi, we can have mods from server side?

hello everyone, i'm trying to remove visual iso square highlight for some reason. But there is so many classes about square. Is it https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/iso/IsoGridSquare.html#IsOnScreen() ? Or maybe https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/iso/IsoGridSquare.ILighting.html#bCouldSee() ?

IsoGridSquare

Javadoc Project Zomboid Modding API declaration: package: zombie.iso, class: IsoGridSquare

IsoGridSquare.ILighting

Javadoc Project Zomboid Modding API declaration: package: zombie.iso, class: IsoGridSquare, interface: ILighting

fast galleon
#

Hello

white pivot
#

just hiding the highlight effect. I'm working on arsenal 2.0 compatible version of advanced trajectory mod. But one arsenal's weapon brings back this isogrid highlight

fast galleon
#

I'm not familiar with that mod. If it highlights an object or adds a square marker maybe I can help.

#

Since it's a weapons mod, maybe it's a muzzle flash.

white pivot
#

this mod take over all the autoaim system, and calculate vectors based on mouseposition for projectiles. So it draws it's own mousecursor, and removes original ones. It uses square check to catch all targets data, but no square highlight should be seen. It works quite good atm but i found a shotgun that brings back this square highlight, so i would like to make it invisible. It's the same iso square highlight you can see for rightclick->move to feature.

late hound
sour island
#

Nah, these two are definitely outliers and probably luck on my part. Your mods are better performing on average.

white pivot
#

i already use setDrag and a lua cursor object with mousecursor as a parent. But maybe i dont understand everything you meaned

fast galleon
#

You can have only one dragged object. So stop the change or add your object again.

thorn bane
#

I remember you can use sprites in chat, does anyone know how?

#

Ah got it

#

me rn ^

white pivot
#

you were right on the fact that i wasn't using set drag for this weapon mode XD. However, i tried to add it in my object initialisation like if not Advanced_trajectory.panel.instance and getSandboxOptions():getOptionByName("Advanced_trajectory.aimpoint"):getValue() then Advanced_trajectory.panel.instance = Advanced_trajectory.panel:new(0,0,200,200) Advanced_trajectory.panel.instance:initialise() Advanced_trajectory.panel.instance:addToUIManager() getCell():setDrag(Advanced_trajectory.aimcursor, 0) endIt runs, but it won't hide the green square

ancient grail
#

Youre the author of advance trajectory?

fast galleon
#

Usually that is drawn by the lua cursor every tick. Maybe it's as simple as setting to nil.

white pivot
#

the square follow the mouse, but i don't know where this square come from. It's only on one weapon. I'm trying to set it to nil, but i'm strugling to catch only the display of the square. I'm not familliar with the use of IsoGridSquare. I just tried if IsoGridSquare.ILighting():getVariableBoolean("bSeen") then IsoGridSquare.ILighting():setVariableBoolean("bSeen",false) end But debug is just laughing at me

fast galleon
#

try getCell():setDrag(nil,0)

#

from console

#

just for debug, to find what is happening

fast galleon
white pivot
#

nah i keep getting this green square, that's weird

Guys, what is the correct way to make in the zomboid Kalua a class, and make that class a singleton?

weary matrix
gilded hawk
# weary matrix What are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to turn this file: https://github.com/mxswat/pz-transmog-definitive-edition/blob/master/Contents/mods/TransmogDefinitiveEdition/media/lua/shared/TransmogDE.lua

Into a proper class, to tidy up the code, and I want to turn it into a class. And import an istance of that class using require

I think it's a good way to tidy up my code, but I'm open for suggestions.

GitHub
pz-transmog-definitive-edition/TransmogDE.lua at master · mxswat/pz...

Contribute to mxswat/pz-transmog-definitive-edition development by creating an account on GitHub.

#

So that instead of doing

TransmogDE.setClothingColorModdata(ogItem, TransmogDE.getClothingColor(ogItem))
  TransmogDE.setClothingTextureModdata(ogItem, TransmogDE.getClothingTexture(ogItem))
  TransmogDE.setTmogColor(tmogItem, TransmogDE.getClothingColor(ogItem))
  TransmogDE.setTmogTexture(tmogItem, TransmogDE.getClothingTexture(ogItem))

I can do

  self:setClothingColorModdata(ogItem, self:getClothingColor(ogItem))
  self:setClothingTextureModdata(ogItem, self:getClothingTexture(ogItem))
  self:setTmogColor(tmogItem, self:getClothingColor(ogItem))
  self:setTmogTexture(tmogItem, self:getClothingTexture(ogItem))

Does this make sense @weary matrix ?

weary matrix

gilded hawk

#

your current code look good enough

#

Making it a class that can be instanciated into multiple instance is only needed if you plan on running multiple instance

#

for example:

Static method

TransmogDE.getClothingColor = function(item)

is an utility method that you pass an item and get a result.

Instance method

TransmogDE:getClothingColor = function()
    return self.item:getColor() --- just an example
end
#

In your case i think static is proper as it seem to be an API.

gilded hawk
#

Okay, I see. But I do also have these two, that at the moment I'm accessing in some functions directly using TransmogDE.BackupClothingItemAsset

TransmogDE.ImmersiveModeMap = {}
TransmogDE.BackupClothingItemAsset = {}

As an example:

TransmogDE.getClothingItemAsset = function(scriptItem)
  if scriptItem.getScriptItem then
    scriptItem = scriptItem:getScriptItem()
  end
  local fullName = scriptItem:getFullName()
  local clothingItemAsset = TransmogDE.BackupClothingItemAsset[fullName] or scriptItem:getClothingItemAsset()
  
  return clothingItemAsset
end
#

And I don't know why, but this feels messy, and I'm not sure why. In general the code of this mod feels messy and even though it works, I don't feel super satisfied.

gilded hawk
white pivot
# fast galleon Then you need to find what exactly that mod is doing. 🤔

thanks for the help my friend, i had a deadline today, so i must move on. But you are right. I think this bug comes from an outdated/incorrect weapon definition from Arsenal(26), and is most certainly related to the boolean IsAimedHandWeapon. But it will have to wait before we get any answers.

For testing mods with a friend, do I just have to ask them to drag and drop the mod into the workshop folder?

Or is there a few other feats I have to do?

There's little consistency and that is defined by legacy code practices which are no longer at play.

Hey y'all, could anyone tell me why my return value comes out as nil here?

# 
function TraitTags:getPlayerTraitTags(player)
    local playerTraits = player:getTraits();
    local concatenatedTags = "";
    local returnString = "";
    local traitName = "";
    --
    --local test1 = getn(playerTraits);
    --print(tostring(test1));
    --
    if playerTraits ~= nil
    then
        for i = 1, playerTraits:size() -1
        do
            local trait = playerTraits:get(i);

            if TraitTags[trait] ~= nil
            then
                concatenatedTags = "";
                for _,tag in pairs(TraitTags[trait])
                do
                    if not returnString:contains(tag)
                    then
                        concatenatedTags = concatenatedTags..","..tag;
                    end
                end
                returnString = returnString..concatenatedTags;
            end
        end
    end
    return returnString;
end

#

So at the very end returnString has ",anthro,carnivore,human" buuuuut

#

d (the testing value that's supposed to store the result of getPlayerTraitTags()) is null

image.png
#

and so is a, which also returns a string.

#

I'm thinking maybe there's an issue with the way I have the function structured?

#

but for the life of me I can't see anything I'm doing wrong

thin hornet
pearl citrus
#

The function looks fine to me. I'd immediately assume it's just a typo - lua is terrible and will just allow you to access variables that don't exist, and it causes endless headaches.

How could someone make "Item Displays" like special shelves for the game?

robust briar
#

Alright, I am racking my brain. Is there a way from one mod to completely disable an item from another. Not "replace it" but completely just nuke it.

I used getClassField to manually set Hidden to true on the Item, but if a player has it on them it just makes it undroppable 💀 (and hidden so it "works")

I tried to manually peek into scriptmanager right after OnGameBoot to manually remove the item from all the points I can find but that as expected is causing all sorts of hell. Like it works, but there must be more reference to the item than I can find cause I then start to get all sorts of issues with rendering.

Basically, does anyone know a way to actually remove an item?

bronze yoke

bronze yoke

why are you trying to do this?

robust briar
#

Pitstop is an awesome mod with a lot of cool stuff, but some of the items it adds are.. well.. a bit much

bronze yoke
#

you can override the file that adds them as long as your mod loads later

robust briar
#

My understanding of Script Files is they merge

#

not overwrite

bronze yoke
#

well... they don't 😅

robust briar
#

if you are about to tell me, i can jsut copy the txt file

and remove the items

I will go cry

if you have multiple script files with the same name and directory only the one that belongs to the latest loading mod is used

If I added a mod to the requirement in steam, that wouldn't break any servers right?

bronze yoke

no, steam requirements don't do anything beyond the pop-up warning

I know adding required mods to the modInfo breaks servers cause dedicated servers don't get any warnings and just drop mods missing requirements

Thinking of starting to blanket require my errorMag mod 😩

And maybe merge fingerPrint into it

#

Should'nt the problems only come for clients using steam (and so having the auto update of the mods) while playing no-steam on a disconnected server? Or am I missing something ?

adding an item as a steam requirement won't make servers download that item

no, server never automatically adds new workshop items

It triggers for the client on whose side it breaks but not for everything. On server it should trigger for everything I think.

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

no errors but endless black screen usually means an infinite loop

trim mist
#

fair enough lol

bronze yoke
#

i don't think this would cause the issue, but ModData.add() at lua load wouldn't work

#

moddata is save specific and lua loads on the main menu

#

actually, are you adding your whole class to moddata?

trim mist
#

My hope was that I was creating a table with some functions in it and adding that to moddata

bronze yoke
#

functions can't be saved to moddata, i think it might work until it tries to save anyway but it feels like you might be misunderstanding the purpose of moddata if you're trying to do that

trim mist
# 
local function TTInit()
    ModData.add(TraitTags);
end

Events.OnNewGame.Add(TTInit);

So if I stuck this at the end, that's one problem fixed?

trim mist
#

like whenever I make a change and save in my environment and reload the file, the data I need is cleared out and messes with my testing. That's why I was trying to shove it in a more persistent place

#

but I could still maybe... make a TraitTags object that gets returned and can use the functions I have? And I'll just have the tags I need in moddata?

if it's just for testing, you can just keep it in the global namespace and make sure your code doesn't overwrite it if it already exists

#

you generally only want to use moddata when you want data to be persistent to that save file

trim mist
#

I definitely want this data to be persistent to the save file. Hopefully that will take care of it working in MP as well

#

I think I'm gonna try to separate the functions out from the data I need by turning all the "TraitTags:[function name]"s into "local function [function name]"s. Just unclear what to do with the "selfs" I have floating around. That won't automatically reference the TraitTags Table, will it?

#

And just an aside, this is the thing I was working on like a week ago that will allow you to assign persistent groups (defined by a tag) to traits, so if there's a gameplay mechanic you want affected by a trait (like a model, UI, or something), you won't have to code out the possibilities per trait, just per trait group (as defined by a tag)

#

My use case in particular is, if someone selects a trait like "Hoofed" from the Anthro Traits mod i'm in the middle of finishing, if they have Anthro Survivors installed, they could only select a species with hooves at character creation

Remove the water bottle and spawn in an empty bottle

I guess I could do it that way

#

but I also don't always want to remove 100% of it

id like to add future ability to only do 50%, 25%, etc

would it be as simple as setting self.item.waterUnit = WATERLEVEL;?

Heylo! I'm a newbie at Zomboid mod making 🙂 I'd like to be able to display a tooltip on hover, when the user hovers over Containers in the game.

I know that the functionality is probably somewhere in lua/client/ISUI.

Are there any other mods folks can think of that display a UI tooltip when hovering over items in-world? That I can look at to start with

Does anyone here know if there is a way to make a trait mutually exclusive to an occupation/profession.

For some reason making traits exclusive to profession traits instead of regular selectable traits doesn't seem to work

Ah cool!

I rewrote the PipeWrench Java API generator for Candle.

#

Candle is my Java API rendering tool for Umbrella.

gilded hawk
#

Wow Impressive!

red tiger
#

Candle does something else.

#

I wrote a project called PZ-Rosetta which scrapes the JavaDocs and saves documentation from PZ's official code like parameter names to a Yaml dictionary.

#

That data is picked up and rendered with the exposed Java API.

#

So basically (arg1, arg2) is replaced with (x, y)

gilded hawk
#

uuuh, pretty

#

What kind of black magic is doing that? 🤔

red tiger
#

PZ-Rosetta opens the door for modders to add to the documentation too, in non-English even.

Try to check if this logic can be reproduced from Lua. This code is from the /addvehicle command in the engine:

Is it even possible to create a weight system for every vehicle to be different and show hiw much the vehicle weighs in the mechanics menu? I think it would be cool if it was possible but do not know where to start in creating a mod like this

And it does have an effect over vehicle's performance, its just not that noticeable

what kind of objects are accessible in debug lua console?

#

Actually 3. One is annoying.

tame mulch
red tiger
#

GLSL can be used to draw and discard areas of the screen that can be calculated to create these round corners.

#

You can also draw polygons with GL11 calls using radius and resolution.

#

This could be achieved using the BasicSpriteRenderer implementation yall have.

#

You can do sprites but this limits to what's available.

#

PZ doesn't actually have any communication layer between GLSL shaders and Lua.

#

This would make the GLSL approach not possible.

#

I modded PZ's core render code to see if UI shading would be possible and useful. Spoiler Alert: It totally is.

#

So much so that I'd give my async Shader Uniform API if TIS were willing to modify it how they see fit and implement it.

tame mulch

We have some plans about UI. But not for 42

#

hi again, what is this params:

tame mulch
cunning crest

I want that when I drag a weapon to a box I have created with ISUIElement, this weapon is equipped on the character.

wet sandal
#

Isn't it (not at a computer) ISMouse.dragging?

#

There's a static object the inventory populates with the stack of items your dragging

#

The property name is definitely .dragging

wet sandal

ISMouseDrag.dragging

Use {arg1=foo, arg2=bar} instead of arg1, arg2. It's not a varargs.

bronze yoke
#

in this case, you are passing the player object as the module

#

@magic halo AUESP_Economia.sendCommandToServer(player, "AUESP_Economia", "SpawnVehicle", arguments); means you are calling
function AUESP_Economia.sendCommandToServer(module = player, command = "AUESP_Economia", args = "SpawnVehicle")

Hey guys/gals, I'm working on a mod that removes bandages/wounds from spawned zombies. Giving them a cleaner look. Does anyone know which .lua file contains the logic for that? I've been scanning around for a couple hours and haven't been able to find it.

I'm working on a mod to adjust stats on food and everything's working fine but I want it to ignore unopened canned food because unopened canned food shouldn't display stat changes. I'm new to modding and to adjust the stats of those foods I tried to call on the CantEat line in items_food.txt but no matter how I try it just calls nil. I have no idea what I'm doing and my girlfriend can't help me at the moment so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas.

weary matrix
trim mist
#

Or i guess it didn't really fit my use case. But that's an option

pliant yarrow
#

I'm trying to adjust the happiness and boredom on food. I'm basically making a mod to randomly assign your character picky eater traits, so certain foods make you happy and certain make you unhappy

trim mist
#

That seems cool af

#

I did something very very similar actually

bronze yoke
#

can you show the code you're using?

pliant yarrow
#

And like I said it's all working for the most part so far, but I want canned foods to not display that they make you unhappy when they're unopened. I figure I just need to multiply the unhappiness and boredom by zero but like I said I have no clue how to call upon the canned food specifically

bronze yoke
#

oh, i think they actually have a special property...?

trim mist
#

I'm pretty sure there is an IsCanned or IsContainer property

pliant yarrow
#

There is, but that affects both opened and closed canned food

bronze yoke
#

ah, i see that now

pliant yarrow
#

The only variable that closed canned food has that opened canned food doesn't is CantEat = True

bronze yoke
#

those properties don't seem accessible...

trim mist
#

So why are you trying to adjust the cantEat line when you just need to change its happiness values?

bronze yoke
#

i think they're just trying to automatically detect these items

pliant yarrow
#

Yeah, I am, I'm trying to detect if CantEat = true then unhappyness * 0 etc. essentially

bronze yoke
#

a hacky way could be to regex the item name, or check the model as they seem to all have CanClosed as their static model

#

it might not interact nicely with modded food though

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

i feel most mods will probably follow the item name pattern

trim mist
#

worse comes to worst you can detect if said food-adding mods are activated and do the same thing you're doing now to the applicable foods

pliant yarrow
#

I appreciate the help. Like I said, it's my first mod and I have no modding experience. My girlfriend is the one with all the experience and knowledge but she's asleep and she recommended I check here if I have any problems.

bronze yoke
#

you could save yourself the regex and just go if luautils.stringStarts(name, "Canned") and not luautils.stringEnds("Open")

#

that seems like it would catch all the vanilla closed food cans

trim mist
# 
Base.CannedCornedBeefOpen

trim mist
#

fair enough. I'm doing the same concept with my mod that I've been working on (for too long)

#

I was curious to see if there was a better way to do what I was doing, and if not whether or not I could help

pliant yarrow
#

I'm not the best person to ask. My girlfriend recommended I look at other people's similar mods for ideas on how they handle things and that has helped a bit but I haven't found anything exactly like what I need. I've found some that come close that have helped a bit, but my mod got a bit more complicated SilverSweat

trim mist
pliant yarrow
#

I referred to the mod Dog Food Isn't That Bad for a large part of the coding for picky vs. non-picky eating, but as I said it's not perfect because I need to make multiple categories of picky eaters so you can be randomly assigned multiple traits and stuff

trim mist
#

So you take the trait and the categories you don't like are randomly assigned?

pliant yarrow
#

Yes, it's part of a larger mod

bronze yoke
#

that sounds pretty fun, if you could choose it'd likely get pretty stale

I really like the Neurodiverse mod and wanted to make my own addon for ASD since me and my girlfriend both have it. I thought the neurodiverse mod was really cool to see myself represented in game, but I wanted to make my own contribution and make a similar mod.

that's kinda cool

My plan is to make Autism randomly assign you picky eater traits, make you stressed by noises and certain sensory factors, and you have special interests that manifest as randomly assigned stat bonuses.

trim mist
#

I think the stressed moodle is underutilized so good on you

#

By the way.... anyone know how to change up load order?

bronze yoke
#

in vanilla singleplayer it's just alphabetical

trim mist
#

I think my AnthroTraits mod is loading before my TraitTags mod and--

#

yep that'll do it lmao

bronze yoke
#

i think if you require a mod it'll load that one first

#

otherwise you can just require that mod's files

#

which you'll need to do anyway if your mod is written modularly

#

if you have mod manager you can move them around and servers can do that anyway

#

though lua requires are always respected

trim mist
#

Maybe that's not enough? I have the requires here

bronze yoke
#

hmm, maybe those doesn't enforce load order then

trim mist
#

Interestingly enough the requires didn't throw an error when i put that p in there

bronze yoke
#

they don't throw errors in the traditional sense

#

it's more like they throw warnings (though the warnings do say error iirc)

#

they won't make a stack trace or pause the game or anything

#

one of the less important advantages to using modules is things break in a more obvious way when the require fails 😅

trim mist
#

I'm not aware of what modules are qwq

bronze yoke
#

it's basically what you're doing, but instead of adding your table to the global namespace, you keep it local and have the file return it

#

then when you want to use it in another file, you do local myModule = require("etc")

#

it avoids polluting the global namespace, and it just runs faster

#

it's how you're supposed to write lua, but most modders don't pick up on it because the vanilla lua is not done properly unhappy

trim mist
#

Albion :l do you think we could talk in a VC here and I can stream my workspace and ask you some questions? This TraitTagsFramework thing has been really kicking my ass the past couple of days and I'm fighting to keep up the enthusiasm to get my AnthroTraits mod to the finish line

bronze yoke
#

i'm sorry, i don't vc, but i'm happy to give you any advice

trim mist
#

No worries. Let me see if I can try to collect my thoughts real quick

trim mist
#

No global ModData. No Global functions. Just a local module.

bronze yoke
#

if TraitTags contains your functions and stuff, yeah, definitely not i'm afraid 😅

trim mist
#

I can probably figure that out without asking too many questions, but then I'm stuck with the original issue of where do I put the table? It needs to be remembered if the lua gets reloaded, a server gets restarted, etc

bronze yoke
#

if lua gets reloaded, won't the module reload too? i don't quite understand the issue

#

unless the trait tag table gets populated during gameplay or something and isn't necessarily going to be the same every time it's run with the same settings (and needs to stay the same despite that)

trim mist
# 
Events.OnGameBoot.Add(initAnthroTraits);
``` is where this section of code runs
image.png
#

Maybe there's a better way to plug in the data than this? I think I'm starting to understand my path forward

#

My thought is to keep the functions out of the table itself by keeping it local, and creating the table in the TraitTagFramework files. Still I'd be adding the TraitTags table to the global moddata table, but I could only interact with it through the module (interacting being your standard CRUD functions and some statistics)

#

I hope I'm making sense. I have a bad habit of using imprecise language in situations like these lol

bronze yoke
#

i don't think i understand, if lua reloads won't this code just run again and you end up with the same table?

trim mist
#

I don't think the OnGameBoot event runs again, only once when you start the new game

bronze yoke
#

i think you're misunderstanding OnGameBoot, that fires when the game reaches the main menu and after lua reloads

trim mist
#

O_O

#

If that's the case, then why does everything added to TraitTags get wiped after a reload? My testing functions always errored out after a reset saying they were nil

bronze yoke
#

if you did need to keep it persistently (i don't think you do), this is sort of how you'd do it, though normally you'd just keep the table of tags in moddata and not the entire module

#

that's a good question, i don't really know

#

keep in mind though that the vanilla traits are set up by ongameboot, so if it doesn't fire, traits shouldn't work either...?

trim mist
#

As far as I know they did. Oh god, I have to do a lot more testing

bronze yoke
#

well, when i say that i mean that the issue is probably elsewhere, because traits definitely work after lua resets

#

is your file in the server folder? ongameboot behaves strangely there

trim mist
#

I think I understand what my path forward is now at least. I'm changing all the functions in TraitTagFramework.lua to local functions that aren't inside a table local function add(traitName, tags), still adding the data table to ModData, but calling the module and interacting only through that to affect the table.

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

this is the basic structure when we talk about modules```lua
-- myModule.lua
local myModule = {}

myModule.foo = function()
print("bar!")
end

return myModule

-- another file
local myModule = require "myModule"
myModule.foo()

trim mist
#

So I couldn't do

TTF = require("TraitTagFramework");
...
TTF.add("TraitName", "Tag1,tag2,tag3")?
#

OH i see i think

bronze yoke
#

you can keep things completely local if you don't want other files interacting with them (or if you want to control interactions with them by only giving them functions to interact with them and not the object itself)

trim mist
#

Oh lord. So this is the lua equivalent of encapsulation

bronze yoke
#

yeah, though most people don't bother with stuff like that and just throw everything in the module

trim mist
#

That's kinda gross to me lol. I've always been strong in OOP so I've been consistently wondering how to make my code "cleaner" in that way

#

I should make a wiki page about this

bronze yoke
trim mist
#

so this is where it gets a little messy. How do I separate the data table from the function table?

# 
TraitTags = TraitTags or {}

is what I have. Should I add another one like

TraitTagsFunctions = TraitTagsFunctions or {}

and use that one...?

bronze yoke
#

i'd just do TraitTags.tags = {}

trim mist
# 
TraitTags = TraitTags or {}
TraitTags.tags = TraitTags.tags or {}

So like this you think?

i should mention that if you're working modularly, TraitTags = TraitTags or {} has no meaning since that's for ensuring multiple files with the same global table don't overwrite each other - instead you'd just do local TraitTags = {}, and if it is defined between multiple files just require the first file

trim mist
#

I'm adding the or bit just in case another modder happens to use this and this module gets calle--

#

buh

#

Ah okay I get that I think. I saw that in Moodle Framework and thought that was... just the way to do it lol

bronze yoke
#

it's another solution to the problems that modules solve better

trim mist
#

🤔 but that makes sense I guess. The module itself can be local, but the data is floating in ModData. So other mods using the framework at the same time could have their own instance of the function table, but they'd all be accessing the same global ModData table

#

God lua makes my brain hurt

bronze yoke
#

modules are local, but the file returns it, so that other files can get a reference to it in their own local namespaces by requiring that file

#

the global namespace is just generally bad news (it's considered by many a disaster how much vanilla uses it), so modules avoid it entirely

trim mist
# 
require("NPCs/MainCreationMethods");
local TTF = require("TraitTagFramework");


local function initAnthroTraits()
...
    TTF.add("KeenHearing", "Anthro,KeenHearing");
    TTF:add("EagleEyed", "Anthro,KeenVision");
...

okay so this is how the implementation should look, right? I think I fixed up the TraitTagsFramework file to be a module. Can I show you the whole thing somehow, and do you have the patience/time/inclination to look?

bronze yoke
#

this looks right (except the mixed usage of . and : in your add calls - one of those is probably a mistake?)

#

i can look at the whole files if you'd like

trim mist
#

I did that intentionally cause I didn't know which one was correct lol. IIRC the colon calls like, an instance of a function or something?

bronze yoke
#

the colon is for calling functions on an instance of an object - it's syntactic sugar, myObject:function() is the same as calling myObject.function(myObject)

#

it's mostly just to make lua's weird fake oop look less weird

trim mist
#

This makes more sense hahaha

#

brb I'm gonna grab a cookie

bronze yoke
#

when defining a function using a colon is the same as adding a self argument as the first argument

#

i think you forgot to push your commit 😅

trim mist
#

💀

#

pushed now

bronze yoke
#

at the very end of your file you want to return TraitTags

#

that's what lets other files grab it with require

#

other than that - i see you swapped your functions to be written the other way around (name = function() instead of function name()), i just thought i should make sure you know that that isn't a mandatory part of the module format and just my style preference, which is why i wrote my examples that way

#

the only practical difference is that you can't use colon when defining them that way and functions defined that way can't recurse (unless you declare the variable first)

#

i still don't think the moddata is necessary but it shouldn't interfere with the operation of your module or anything

trim mist
#

And if I could figure out why functions calling TraitTags return nil after a reload, I could just include TraitTags.tags in the module, right?

trim mist
bronze yoke
#

it's already included in the module, anything under TraitTags will be

#

i picked up the habit when i was modifying a mod that had functions under very long chains of tables and it was just easier to understand that structure that way - it doesn't really matter for things written in a reasonable manner

Inconsistent semi-colon usage. Either use it or don't.

ancient grail

if i dont backward loop once i remove the burn it will remove it from the array

#

i assume

#

but ok ill try forward then thnx

red tiger

That's a mighty assumption. It's not like a java Iterator and even then you have to invoke remove()

ancient grail
#

still didnt work

i bet im using wrong syntax

I don't know what the issue is but I can see that you complicated your code without needing to.

                bodyPart:setBurnTime(0)    
            end
            if bodyPart:getBurnTime() > 0 then
                bodyPart:setNeedBurnWash(not bodyPart:isNeedBurnWash())
            end
        end

got it working

im not overcomplicating i really need to iterate the parts as i dont know which one is burnt

hello! 👋 I am trying to understand how to add a new moveable item in game. Like a new chair, or a small container to let players interact with. I tried to define a new item like that:

    item Mov_LockableSafe
    {
        DisplayCategory = Furniture,
        Type = Moveable,
        Icon = default,
        Weight = 40,
        DisplayName = Lockable Safe,
        WorldObjectSprite = location_business_bank_01_68,
    }

With no luck. The result is that I can see the item in the item list, but I can't place and can't see the sprite on it. Is there a guide or something that explains how to add new moveable items? Thanks!

Hello, good morning. Is there any property in the title properties that prevents the zombies from breaking the wall? I want to emulate the behavior of certain walls, that do not break, but when I place them on the map, the zombies zombify them. My idea, is that they surround them. There are several such walls within the game.

What's the best way to get OnMouseUp to trigger for children elements that extend the parent element.

I get OnMouseUpOutside instead.

I'm guessing I have to add them to UI manager or manually find them from parent.

Hi guys!!
Quick question, I've read that you can now use Typescript to code Mods, is this true? Do you have the same flexibility as lua or are there any missing pieces that I should be aware of?
Thank you!

spice saddle
#

@mystic rose maybe IsoPlayer:getPlayerMoveDir() can help you get the angle of the character facing

mystic rose
#

hmm

#

i assumed that gave an xyz on the location rather then facing direction, but i could always be wrong

spice saddle
#

i'm also very new to modding so i don't know what i'm talking about, just fyi lol

#

it returns JVector2 which seems to have a couple of ange functions

mystic rose
#

For others here that are smarter then me, im trying to get the exact angle of the player facing even with decimals but the closest ive found in my search was getAngle() but it gives very little info on what it does or is used for, could be it though

mellow frigate
mystic rose
#

eh?

mellow frigate
mystic rose
#

so character:getAnimAngleRadians(); gets the exact angle or? how your saying it sounds like its just rounding up to each cardinal direction

sour island
#

I wrote something related to this, it's used in fancy handiwork I believe(?)

#

The snippet should be in here if you search -- I type alot though 😅

mystic rose
#

ill be lookin

mellow frigate
sour island
#

Also, yeah, I'm not smart -- I just slapped stuff together until it got what I expected

mystic rose
#

ah ok

sour island
#

As is tradition 🗿

mystic rose
#

theres a lot of messages...

#

so i could just now print to console to verify..

# 
while true do
  if player:isAsleep(false) then
    print(character:getAnimAngleRadians())
  end
end
``` wish i knew a way to update it whenever the character moves, rather then every frame but it works for testing
bronze yoke
#

this is an infinite loop

mellow frigate
#

Events.OnPlayerUpdate.Add(function(player) if player and player:isMoving() then print(player:getAnimAngleRadians()) end end)

bronze yoke
#

OnPlayerMove would probably let you circumvent that check

#

(and you never need to check if player as part of an event because if there isn't a player then the event wouldn't be fired)

mystic rose
#

wat

bronze yoke
# 
Events.OnPlayerMove.Add(function(player)
    print(character:getAnimeAngleRadians())
end)
mystic rose
#

no while?

bronze yoke
#

the while true just makes an infinite loop and crashes the game

#

OnPlayerMove will already fire every single tick that the player is moving

mystic rose
frank elbow
#

Why player and character? I see it's in the original snippet

mystic rose
#

oh uh

#

might of been messing about and didnt do that correctly

frank elbow
#

Ah gotcha

mystic rose
bronze yoke
#

it should go into the debug console and the log

mellow frigate
#

anyone there has a snippet for getMouseSquare that handles the Z coord depending on local visibility ?

#

and if you handle the joypad it's even better

Mine is mouse only and I only use player square Z.

Hi guys!

I'm exploring some mods and I know that some can extend properties in SandboxVars.lua file to let a user customize variables. Is there any guide on how to properly setup such extension?
For example: i want user to set an array of items to delete, by name, in a property in this file called: ItemsToRemove = {
items = [array]
}

Do any of you know how to do such thing and can point me toward a guide, perhaps?
Thanks!

I don't know that there's a guide, but vanilla handles a similar type of rule by using a string delimited with semicolons. i.e., item1;item2;item3. You can create a sandbox variable with a special file in your mod's media folder, sandbox-options.txt.
Example string option:

option ModName.OptionName
{ type = string, default = default value that cannot contain a comma or curly brace, page = ModName, translation = ModNameOptionName, }
mystic rose
#

so it would be player:getAnimeAngleRadians()?

bronze yoke
#

some people use the two terms to refer to different things but they don't have any inherent meaning

#

player:getAnimAngleRadians()

not quite sure how that anime got in there 😅
