But I'm just looking for a doge plush and mask, maby some other dumb things
Can't find any doge models, closest you're gonna get is finding a dog to your liking in Anthro Survivors or Xochi's customs
I haven't specifically looked at any plushes, but if you're really wanting it, you could probably commission Xochi for relatively cheap to have a doge model made for you
i know there are people here that like modelling plushies so I'm sure they'd be happy to help too

which folder is this file in?
if it's not in server, you're referencing it before it's created
neon bronze
You’d need to require that file probably
bronze yoke
requiring vanilla files doesn't do anything
you need to put it in server, or delay your code until after the server folder loads

how do I make it lua?

okay thanks
bronze yoke
the specific name isn't important but it should ideally be unique to your mod (if another mod has a file with the same name only one will load)
deft plaza

your are a pro
modding is kinda of fun
I'm getting the hang of it
I got a error 1 when loading up the game
what do I do about that

ohh i didn't notice, in your file you always write ProcerduralDistributions, should be ProceduralDistributions

tawdry solar
thats what i figured
heady crystal
I didn't want it like that tbf
Wanted to specifically target the player
But couldn't work it out, no matter what functions I used, zombies just don't go for it even with the player as a target. Only the one that spotted you.
tawdry solar
couldnt you make noises be pinged off the player every like few seconds?
deft plaza
does this need to have spaces or?

Hey, I'm having an interesting typing issue

I have a headache and I don't know why
trim mist
Hey, I'm having an interesting typing issue
I'm trying to use an object that's returned as a IsoMovingObject but I need to convert it to a player object. I've been trying to get the modData for a player from said type and it's been returning nil
It's odd though because in the f11 console it shows as the type of IsoPlayer
Has anyone had to deal with this before?
red tiger
Sounds like you are either incorrectly referencing what you are looking at or don't know what to call exactly.
bronze yoke
it doesn't really matter what type it's returned as, i don't think that has any relevance to lua
since we don't have casting or anything
trim mist
that's what I thought, but I have no idea what else this error could be
this is everything I have compiled on it
red tiger
There's an API call you can use to get the type of java class
bronze yoke
in the case of the event i just listed it as IsoMovingObject because it's always that or a subclass of that, i don't think the event actually casts anything
(and again don't think that would have any implications on lua anyway)
trim mist
I use instanceof(collider, "IsoPlayer") in my code
red tiger
You need to figure out how to interpret it
bronze yoke
are you absolutely sure the player has this ATPlayerData?
trim mist
yeah, one sec
That's all the times I use that to grab mod data, and this function gets triggered OnObjectCollide
bronze yoke
ohh, is this happening in multiplayer only?
honest roost
right chat this time lol how come the pen is disabled? i cant place flooring 
bronze yoke
well i have two theories about this actually
trim mist
ohh, is this happening in multiplayer only?
yeah, as far as I can tell
bronze yoke
- your moddata is created OnNewGame, so if the character was created before the mod was added it won't work
- if the event fires for a remote player, it doesn't seem like player moddata is synchronised
trim mist
ah!
i was under the impression that I didn't have to sync data like that if it were moddata or in shared
💀
honest roost
Nvm I’m a dummy just had to go to tile

also:
bronze yoke
moddata works case by case, the shared thing seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of networking though 😅
trim mist
networking was... not my strong suit in school
bronze yoke
every process has an entirely seperate lua environment, shared is just (supposed to) mean those files are loaded on clients and servers
of course in pz the server folder is also loaded on clients so the meaning of those folders is sort of weak
trim mist
i hear you
So no matter where I put things I still have to worry about networking and syncage
:S

local function ATOnCharacterCollide(collider, collidee)

that might be necessary elsewhere

it will be. I mean, i use that logic in ATOnCharacterCollide
lol
🤔
I'm getting an inkling that if I have this run only on clients using IsoPlayer:isLocalPlayer() I can sidestep this whole syncing issue? maybe?

I got a function I wanna run when folks first load into their save/server. (its a function that checks if a list of items are being worn). Do you guys have any advice on what event to use?
bronze yoke
ongamestart or oncreateplayer
formal oasis
hmmm okie. Yeah I was afraid of that. I tried those and got some errors
I was hoping it was a bad event use, not an issue in my code problem
thanks
thin hornet
There is also this way
local function init()
Events.OnTick.Remove(init)
-- do something on the first tick
end
Events.OnTick.Add(init)
But that would not trigger again if the player dies and create a new character and load back in.
formal oasis
So this is running the event on tick, then removing itself?
bronze yoke
is there a situation where this might behave differently to ongamestart?
thin hornet
Network is not ready i believe
bronze yoke
i don't think the network is ready on the first tick either
formal oasis
Actually this (might) work
its a gasmask check, i already have Events.OnClothingUpdated.Add(HS_SD_GasMaskCheck) and its working
so it already works if you change clothes
its just logging in and checking im trying to solve
bronze yoke
oncreateplayer would be best for that
formal oasis
Yeah the problem I encounter is this, This is the function I call with oncreateplayer
function HS_SD_GasMaskCheck(player)
HS_GM_wornItems = player:getWornItems()
it fails on HS_GM_wornItems = player:getWornItems()
but it works fine with things like, OnClothingUpdated or OnPlayerUpdate
bronze yoke
the first parameter passed to OnCreatePlayer is the player index
not a player object
you'd want to do something like```lua
local function onCreatePlayer(_index, player)
HS_SD_GasMaskCheck(player)
end
Events.OnCreatePlayer.Add(onCreatePlayer)
I see. I just started seriously diving into pz modding a few days ago, so I appreciate the patience
thank you, ill give this a shot
It did work. Thanks a bunch

Does setVariable not work with ints, floats, etc?
bronze yoke
it works with strings, bools and floats
bronze yoke
kahlua should be happy to interpret it as a float
heady crystal
playerObj:SetVariable("Name", 1) gives an error
bronze yoke
likely because it's setVariable
heady crystal
No way
Why does it work with a string
I can't believe I committed this mistake lmao

yeah, there's a string capitalised one - maybe a backwards compatibility thing?

Would you pass in a college paper that looks like that?
Tabbing like that?
You want something that "works". If you have that much concern when maintaining your car's engine it wouldn't run. It's not your fault though because the game's files are just as bad.
Clean code and clean text will help you more than you will know.
You bring me a jumbled mess and ask me what you're doing wrong. :/

table.insert(getSquare(x, y, sqZ))
end
end

Mod for you, not what the devs want. This is what modding is, not what modding is here.

Braven, I don't think anyone has an issue with the way you are modding, like at all
if you don't feel comfortable going that deep into the source code it's 100% fine, no one is going to knock you for that (at least I won't)

@red tiger you mentioned modding PZ for 10 years yeah? What were some of the biggest breakthroughs you've seen through modding? I used to be big into Black Ops 3 modding, and just seeing all the changes since I strated modding to now is just amazing, and I'm always interested in hearing how things came to be how they are now

Don't limit yourself to what people want from you.
red tiger
<@183299843240886272> you mentioned modding PZ for 10 years yeah? What were some...
I can't speak for the black ops community. I will say that the daring projects definitely shaped PZ. I did. I'm glad for that.
Making entire communities out of simple ideas of how to make the game better.
That's why I love to help people mod here. It's fun to see what they do with better tools. =)
red tiger
<@183299843240886272> you mentioned modding PZ for 10 years yeah? What were some...
I think that the best moments in the modding I did was seeing people who could never speak the same language form factions on my server because I wrote a translator chat engine that translated based on the selected language of the player.
bronze yoke
i never heard about that one, that's crazy
red tiger
I don't think that I could do something like that again
Seeing full friendships from because of translators built into the game
It's the best thing to see
tawny depot
See! That's what I'm talking about! What an awesome idea!
red tiger
That's why I say to not limit yourself. :)
You never know just how much you can charge people for the simple ideas you have.
tawny depot

That's what over 20 years of modding taught me. :]

Hey Everyone, im new to modding, but i have a bit of experience programming. Im looking to making a simple(VERY SIMPLE) NPC mod that can be run on multiplayer or single player game modes. There seems to be very limited information about creating mods to be inclusive of multiplayer. Is there any information or caveats i should know about before diving head first into this multiplayer mod
bronze yoke
the number one caveat is that npcs can't be rendered in multiplayer, which is why none of the existing ones support it
north drift
Okay but why ?
bronze yoke
they use fake player objects, and multiplayer is just stricter about them
north drift
As in the game logic prevents it ?
bronze yoke
it seems that way
north drift
Is there any specific information about how or where this is done? and if it specific to a particular function call ?
bronze yoke
it's not something i'm specifically knowledgeable about
north drift
Okay hmm ill have to see and find where its being blocked.
and am i correct in saying the server lua is run in both single player and multiple player ?
bronze yoke
yeah
if you're referring to the client/shared/server structure in the lua folder, don't be fooled
server is also ran by both, the only special behaviour is that client doesn't run on the server
so nearly the entire game's lua is run on both sides
north drift
is there any mechanism to tell what the code is being run on ?
bronze yoke
yeah, there's isClient() and isServer()
north drift
eg perform one set of functions if on single player and another on multipler
bronze yoke
both are false in singleplayer
north drift
ahh perfect
bronze yoke
for that reason, with server-only code you generally want to check if it's *not* a client, not if it is a server, since usually you want your server-only code to run in singleplayer
crystal oar
i am having trouble figuring out how to use the value of a sandbox var, how do i get my local variable to grab the value of a sandbox var?
bronze yoke
for an option defined as MyMod.MyOption you would reference it as SandboxVars.MyMod.MyOption
crystal oar
i feel silly now that i see the solution written out
i guess i am pretty new at this
bronze yoke
hey, it's a big undocumented system
crystal oar
i appreciate the help
north drift
is there a distinction between 'Hosting' and 'Dedicated Servers' or are they just both Multiplayer
bronze yoke
i think there is some function to check for it, but they behave basically exactly the same so i've never needed to look into it
the game usually refers to in-game hosting as co-op (but it also sometimes refers to splitscreen as co-op 
)
north drift
hmm okay, yeah i saw a couple functions mention co op
is there a way to reload all lua files, or to reload lua files on change ?
bronze yoke
you can reload individual files from the debug menu (i don't recommend doing this, it usually causes issues), or reload all lua from a button on the main menu
if the mods in your save game don't match the mods on your main menu, it'll reload lua every time you load the save automatically: i consider that the easiest way
thin hornet
@north drift ```lua
isCoopHost() -- return true when called from the host client. The coop server runs in background, it's like a dedicated server.
To reload a server file in a hosted server, send this command from the chat as admin `/reloadlua server/myfile.lua`awesome thanks
thin hornet
reloading a server file from the F11 debug menu will not reload on the actual server.
server lua files also runs on clients.
bronze yoke
oh, and don't expect server prints to show up on your client
thin hornet
if you really don't want the server lua files to run on client add this on top of the file
if not isServer() then return end
in which case will also not run in single player
north drift
oh, and don't expect server prints to show up on your client
yeah figuring that out now lol
crystal oar
now that i'm working on this again, I need to name this file something other than recipecode.lua right? it will mess up vanilla items if i name it recipecode.lua?
bronze yoke
yes, the filename must be unique to your mod
crystal oar
okay good
bronze yoke
if your mod needs many files i recommend just creating a folder so you don't need to give everything weird filenames
thin hornet
ya
barren junco
thin hornet
I do my structure like this

is there any standardised way to do commands ?
thin hornet
not really
you can do as you like
I do this most of the time:
local function onServerCommand(module, command, args)
if module ~= "PlayerConnectionMessage" then return end
if command == "playerConnected" then
PlayerConnectionMessage.doConnect(args.username)
end
if command == "playerDied" then
PlayerConnectionMessage.doDeath(args.username, args.killer)
end
if command == "playerDisconnected" then
PlayerConnectionMessage.doDisconnect(args.username)
end
end
Events.OnServerCommand.Add(onServerCommand)
a lot of people like to make a table of functions keyed by the command name
i don't like that though because you have to unpack the args table in the command function, makes ugly code imo (and difficult to reuse)
crystal oar
well i think i borked my mod lol, my test server is hung on initializing. it feels like so straightforward of a mod too
i have a recipe recipe Choose Kit 1 { destroy Sandbag, Result:EmptySandbag, OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.StarterKit1Open, Sound:PutItemInBag, Time:180.0, }
and a bit of lua code function Recipe.OnCreate.StarterKit1Open(items, result, player) local list = SandboxVars.StarterKits.Kit1 for item in string.gmatch(list, "[^;]+") do player:getInventory():AddItems(item); end end anyone see the problem offhand?
ignore the fact that i'm using sand for some reason, i haven't made the item for the mod yet that will replace sandbags in this instance
thin hornet
I suggest you create your own global for your recipes, replace MyMod by your mod name
MyModRecipes = {}
MyModRecipes.OnCreate = {}
function MyModRecipes.OnCreate.StarterKit1Open(items, result, player)
end
errors in these files wouldn't be able to bork your server (probably)
is that the full recipe file? if it is you're missing the module
crystal oar
is that the full recipe file? if it is you're missing the module
i looked at the full file, used the wrong bracket to close it lol. ] was supposed to be a }

crystal oar
I suggest you create your own global for your recipes, replace MyMod by your mod...
i don't understand what this does
thin hornet
i don't understand what this does
Well instead of adding into the vanilla table Recipe.OnCreate. you add your functions into your own mod global table.
This way you reduce the risk of overwriting a recipe function with other mods.
crystal oar
ah that makes more sense to me now
i'm still just trying to get it to work right at all lol, right now i can do the recipe but the knock-on effect of Recipe.OnCreate. isn't working
thin hornet
whats the knock-on effect?
crystal oar
local list = SandboxVars.StarterKits.Kit1
for item in string.gmatch(list, "[^;]+") do
player:getInventory():AddItems(item);
end
end``` it's to read the sandbox vars for a list of items and add them to the player's inventoryTry printing some values
crystal oar
does that print to chat or console.txt?
formal oasis
console.txt
thin hornet
if you run the game with -debug youll see it in the console UI
@crystal oar also whats the Kit1 string value atm?
crystal oar
Kit1 = "Base.Sandbag;Base.Belt2",
just to see if it works
adding some prints to the code now
thin hornet
also AddItems require a second param with the quantity
crystal oar
oh well that would probably help a lot
oh that was evidently the whole problem, i needed a qty

i put it on first onplayermove as a hack
I added the function isCmdReady() to know when sendClientCommand is valid. This is in https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2986578314

how do you detect it?
mellow frigate
I sendClientCommand until I got an answer
You can now play as a zombie https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2991010328
thin hornet
sendClientCommand is valid from the first tick
local function init()
Events.OnTick.Remove(init)
--- sendClientCommand is 100% available
end
Events.OnTick.Add(init)
you can send it for sure 🙂 but the server may not receive it.
thin hornet
What do you mean may not receive it?
The network is ready during the first tick technically

The callback added to Events.OnClientCommand is not triggered.

@mellow frigate I have question about luautils module from ur lib
why in luautils.removeFromTable r u creating new table?
it's creating new object so after it input and output tables will be different so it's not removeFromTable but createNewTableWithoutValue
in addition this function is free to break sequential table

Hello, anyone here with some experience in creating new tiles? I have an issue I am not able to rotate a new sprite in game. I have defined all the four faces (east, south, west, an north), also CustomName and GroupName. But still, once I get the item in game and try to place it, it won't allow me to rotate. I can only see the east facing direction.
Also, double check with existing/vanilla tiles definition, and everything looks correct 🤔 👀 Am I missing some Lua magic somewhere?

Would you mind sharing the pack, tiles and mod info files?

You don't have direct access to mod files in Lua.

Not direct files in a mod.

Hi, I did this because it was the only reliable way I found to remove an item from a table :D. What do you mean by sequential table break ? I'm interested by a full lesson if you feel like it. I'm interested by a straight improvement of the function if you feel like it.

So, I am trying to write a hook that will allow two weapons to not have muzzle flashes; which I did, and which technically worked. However, if a zombie gets close enough to trigger a shove animation, all weapons never fire again, which is definitely not something I wish to happen. Any idea of how to fix this? (Also, thank you Glytch3r for pointing me in the right direction.)

if instanceof(character, "IsoPlayer") and not character:isAuthorizeMeleeAction() then
return;
end
if weapon:isRanged() and not character:isDoShove() then
if ISReloadWeaponAction.canShoot(weapon) then
character:playSound(weapon:getSwingSound());
local radius = weapon:getSoundRadius();
if isClient() then -- limit sound radius in MP
radius = radius / 1.8;
end
if string.find(weapon:getWeaponSprite(), "Base.WEAPON1") then
character:addWorldSoundUnlessInvisible(radius, weapon:getSoundVolume(), false);

An IsoGameCharacter*

It looks like the parent class for players and zombies but I might be mistaken
I'm only just digging into the javadocs, though I generally find javadocs unhelpful because people don't comment the functions you want

Are there any logic gate mods that are relatively popular? Something where players could define simple boolean/timed logic for gates/traps/lights/sounds?

Are people aware of a limitation to the use of UI draw functions ? I'm having a hard time understanding why it sometimes draw and sometimes don't. This includes (but is not limited to) calls to ISUIElement:drawLine2, LuaManager.renderIsoCircle and in the end: all that uses getRenderer():render(...); e.g. getRenderer():render(nil, x-thickX, y-thickY, x+thickX, y+thickY, x2+thickX, y2+thickY, x2-thickX, y2-thickY, r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a, nil); Note: for the Iso relative functions, it also occures even when the player on the same Z level and in the same cell & chunk.

the easiest way is to loop through the vehicle list and check each vehicle's location with BaseVehicle:isIntersectingSquare(x, y, z)
vehicles 'belong' to one square but they're big so they cover many other squares that don't know about them, so you have to work backwards from the vehicles

Also When calling the equivalent for (above) map (and minimap) it works ALL the time.

Hard to say what problem without checking code. Maybe sometimes you check not pass and draw not started. Try debug by print near this functions and when it not start draw - check work print or not

I will
deft plaza
okay still its not showing in the spawn menu can't find it at all

so would I base on one thing and import on another
help
I get no one wants to help because its not working for me no matter what but come on
verbal yew
try find like base.redducttape
deft plaza
where would I go
bronze yoke
if you aren't getting help it doesn't mean nobody wants to help, it means nobody knows what's wrong
verbal yew
or redducttape. idk but i have it in spawn menu
deft plaza
no I mean I cant its not in the spawn menu the cheats
the items does not spawn yet
what do you mean base.redducttape
heady crystal
Does player mod data not persist in MP?
crystal oar
What item? Also are you just trying to spawn in an item or are you writing a mod?
bronze yoke
it persists
deft plaza

so I am writing a mod that adds
a machete
so I did that
I'm trying to add a custom item duct tape
red duct tape
crystal oar
{
imports
{
Base
}
item SKit1
{
DisplayCategory = Junk,
Weight = 3.0,
Type = Normal,
DisplayName = Starter Kit,
Icon = Briefcase,
StaticModel = Briefcase,
WorldStaticModel = Briefcase,
}
}``` so like this is how to add a really simple item that right now does nothing without more code
bronze yoke
icfon?
crystal oar
okay so since you are making your item part of base you don't need to import base like i did (i think)
deft plaza
okay so what do I do?
heady crystal
Ok I found the issue wtf
So I teleported the player up, and when I load in and check they are in the Z position they were before I teleported them
crystal oar
okay so what do I do?
what is it not doing right now? is it just not working at all?
heady crystal
Only in code, in-game they are on the floor I sent them to
deft plaza
I'll the run the game again
heady crystal
reeee
deft plaza
one sec
deft plaza
what is it not doing right now? is it just not working at all?
so the machete I added works but the tape is not
crystal oar
so the machete I added works but the tape is not
so you do like a additem playername Base.redducttape 1 and nothing happens?
crystal oar
k did you get an error when you loaded the save up?
deft plaza
no
crystal oar
also i see worldstaticmodel is RedDuctTapeBase and then you have a model for redducttapebase, is that the problem?
deft plaza
models_X is Redducttape
crystal oar
that was greek to me, anyone catch that?
sinful scaffold
So, I am trying to write a hook that will allow two weapons to not have muzzle f...
bump
crystal oar
i am unsure, i only reuse vanilla assets. i'm a rookie, but i'm trying my best to grasp what would cauuse it to not show up
and something like the case of RedDuctTapeBase versus redducttapebase seems a likely culprit
like what is RedDuctTapeBase? i don't see that defined
crystal oar
no that is redducttapebase
bronze yoke
WorldStaticModel should be the name of a model script
the model script's mesh should be the actual filename
bronze yoke
yeah
deft plaza
the fbx?
bronze yoke
crystal oar
do you see what i mean that redducttapebase does not equal RedDuctTapeBase?
ah thanks as always albion
deft plaza
how about now
crystal oar
as far as i can tell with my rookie eyes that looks right
crystal oar
can you show the whole thing again?
deft plaza
tawdry solar
i dont think model matters for the item to spawn ingame
unless it works and the model isnt apearing
deft plaza
man
crystal oar
i think it's not getting that far, otherwise it would show up in the item list
deft plaza
I'm trying to make it appear in game like the item in the cheat menu
crystal oar
it should be a type drainable not normal, i'll keep looking
deft plaza
but I'm trying to make a recipe and I don't want the players to keep using the redducttape
to make the item
crystal oar
come again?
deft plaza
man
crystal oar
maybe seeing the recipe would help me understand?
deft plaza
no no
man
I don't want the player to keep using the red duct tape
so I made it a normal item
I want it to be a one time use
crystal oar
so then why and how does it have a usedelta?
crystal oar
UseDelta = 0.25
crystal oar
how much of a drainable is used
deft plaza
so delete it
