I'm basically rewriting the logic to fill bags with dirt, gravel, or sand. This specific bit is a helper function to determine if a particular container is a drainable type that can hold one of those three.

#

is anyone able to show me how I should lay out a recipe that uses a custom animation?

novel barn
#

I'm essentially trying to make it so all vanilla bags can also hold dirt, gravel, or sand

#

because it pisses me off when I have 5 duffel bags but no sacks and I want to get a safe farm set up

#

I might cry if you tell me it exists because I scoured the workshop and didn't find anything like it

fast galleon
#

You can use this mod to do it, check the script edits file where I add it to some vanilla items.

#

Thanks! I will! For now I'm going to call it a night though because tomorrow I'm probably going to rip out everything I've done so far. Thank you both so much! Good night!

GraniCry I cant figure this out, errors arent really telling me anything either

autumn temple
#

as mentioned earlier im trying to apply a custom animation to a crafting recipe, but when I do it instead of my animation playing, my character just raises their hand to the sky like the falling animation.

#

tried to see if I can fix it myself and somehow made my guy dab

image.png
#

it says I need a PerformingAction but I have no idea how to implement that

#

cant find anything from googling it

#

I got it to no longer give me that error, but it still doesnt play the animation when asked.

fast galleon
#

is the animation set up to work with timed actions? (xml file)

autumn temple
#

I think so?

#

(is clueless)

fast galleon
#

so when you say custom animation, you mean a vanilla animation?

autumn temple
#

custom animation

#

made in blender

#

I used the tutorial which just shows me how to get it so I can play the animation through a keybind. but I cant figure out how to get it to work as a PerformingAction

fast galleon
#

take a look at the xml files in AnimSets/player/actions

dark wedge
# autumn temple I used the tutorial which just shows me how to get it so I can play the animatio...

Take a look at the file in the base game: media/AnimSets/player/actions/SawLog.xml
This is a good example of a "custom" animation for a crafting recipe. You will see that there is the condition for the animation:

    <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>
    <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
    <m_StringValue>SawLog</m_StringValue>
</m_Conditions>```
So, create your own xml file similar to this one (make sure to put it in the same folder structure in your mod), and use your own condition value like:
```<m_Conditions>
    <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>
    <m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
    <m_StringValue>MyCondition</m_StringValue>
</m_Conditions>```
In your recipe, then set the `AnimNode` to your condition value:
```AnimNode:MyCondition,```

Hello everyone,

The transmission client/server is working perfectly, i can extract the data from the table. I would like know if is possible to retrieve ONLY the value from getTotalKills(username, value) method

but it doesnt go over any of the code stuff just actual animations and rigging

#

kadgbrasdlkbg agakdsjgbasdkfgbadsfgbnasdfg

#

its still not playing the animation

dark wedge
autumn temple
#

yes it does

dark wedge
dark wedge
# autumn temple yes it does

Cool. So, where did you put the xml file that you created? In your mod, it HAS to be in: media/AnimSets/player/actions/whatever.xml

autumn temple
#

ya its in that file locaiton

dark wedge
#

Also, did you restart the game after making it? Like, actually close and re-open the game? it won't load new files

autumn temple
#

yup

#

ive restarted dozens of times

dark wedge
#

what's the contents of your xml file

autumn temple
#

I just copied some vanilla code, i forgot which one it was exactly

#

then I had the IsTestfile is my AnimNode

dark wedge
#

In that action, set: <m_AnimName>Bob_IdleSawLog</m_AnimName>
In your recipe, set: AnimNode:IsTestfile
Does it play the Saw Log animation on your recipe? If so, then its the name of your Animation.

autumn temple
#

it does

#

so its the m_AnimName thats fucking things up thinkEgg

dark wedge
#

Seems like it. At least you got the rest setup and you know the issue. Just be sure that the m_AnimName is set to whatever the animation's name actually is

autumn temple
#

so m_AnimName should be the files name?

#

ooooh wait I see it now

#

im stupid, that should be the animation files name

#

I changed the animation fbx file name to Bazinga just to test

dark wedge
#

not necessarily. it just so happens that the base game names all animations with their file names (if that's where you're getting that assumption). it will be the name you set for the animation itself in blender or fragmotion or whatever you used. You also need to ensure that your animation is in media/anims_X/Bob/

#

Possibly if you don't set a name then it just uses the file name, if that's working for you. But i definitely have animations playing that have a different file name. ha

autumn temple
#

so in blender I would go to the nonlinear animation and set the animation name to what I want the m_AnimName?

dark wedge
#

correct

autumn temple
#

ok so I see that it did work. but its only applying some of the animation not all. like only the arms are animated instead of the whole body

#

but that probably has to deal with my exporting the file wrong

dark wedge
#

Yea, there is no blending in your action file so it should be applying to the whole model.

#

Still, forward progress is good

autumn temple
#

ye, i should get some sleep. later i will figure out why its not applying the whole animation only parts

#

I wanted to go to bed two hours ago but i just wanted to try and finish this first 💀

dark wedge
#

same. i just finished my proof of concept for a "drop in" replacement for the context menu so its a radial now:

autumn temple
#

oooo nice

dark wedge
#

was easier than i thought, but needs a lot of work. i have it limited to only 8 things currently because the build menu created hundreds of entries. ha.

neon bronze
#

This does seem like a mod that would pop off

dark wedge
#

and eh, if it doesn't take off then oh well. I'm having fun, and that's all that matters imo. 🙂

#

lmao. misread that, further proof i need to sleep.

neon bronze
#

I prefer this one over the current one already

#

We'll see what happens here. I should be working on so many other things.

it depends on what you wanna do. you can either change lua for Health UI or find the text you wanna change from the text files under media\lua\shared\Translate\EN\ and add the same file to your mod with your changed text (you do not need to duplicate all unchanged text)

Afaik, your problem is related to multiplayer server use, not to modding.

if your mod is private, the server can't download it

Hey, looking to force the player to fall down for a set amount of time. Anyone know how to force the player into that sort of state?

#

Alright- I think that a timed action would be the best, but I have never actually coded my own timed action so 😅

autumn temple
#

for some reason the game just refuses to recognize my IGUI_EN

image.png
bronze yoke
#

the filename should be IG_UI_EN

autumn temple
#

:v

#

thanks...

#

I had it as IG_GUI_EN

winter thunder
#

It really do be like that sometimes... The amount of headache I have caused myself by missing one character somewhere is insane lol

bronze yoke
#

that one bugs me because of the inconsistency

#

it should either be IGUI or IG_UI, not both

red tiger
#

This game doesn't have consistency with naming conventions.. not even the API.

winter thunder
#

My personal fav is when there are typos in the naming of things

red tiger
#

Sometimes I'm calling methods with C# PascalCase names and sometimes I'm calling snake_case functions..

bronze yoke
#

the typos are just because a lot of TIS aren't native english speakers

#

(probably)

#

colour is not a typ0.

i've given in and started using american spelling in my apis

Passiv

or maybe too passive 🧠

autumn temple

the E is too aggressive

mild venture

Sometimes they name the method with a small letter, sometimes with a capital letter. Sometimes it starts as CamelCase, but in the middle of the method name the new words are in lowercase. Umbrella really helps in this situation 🙂

bronze yoke
#

you can add your own command listener and get that data from the args

mild venture
bronze yoke
#

add your command listener from the shared folder so it executes before the vanilla listener gets added

otherwise you could hook BaseVehicle.permanentlyRemove

this means it's from fmod

if it's too new to be in the loose files then you have to extract the soundbanks

I won't ask

#

I have a few quick theory questions if anyone doesn't mind. I have a mod that is going to behave very similarly to another, which means I'm probably going to copy a lot of functions over for my own.
1.** Is it possible** to require the functions from the first mod so that I don't have to rewrite them? I'll only rewrite them if the mod is absent?

if getActivatedMods():contains("SomeCleverMod") == true then
    --require the file to gain access to the necessary functions
else
    --write the functions myself since the mod isn't present
end
  1. If it is possible, is there any performance reason to do this? Or should I just duplicate the functions and not worry about it?
    As I'm thinking about this I'm starting to feel like it's probably not a good idea to do this. If SomeCleverMod changes then my mod will probably implode when the when the two mods are enabled together.
ornate parrot
#

So, I want to make a pretty simple mod that removes some items from another mod

#

and upload that to the workshop, but i don't wanna just have that mod be a reupload of that mod just with some items missing

#

How would i go about making a mod that patches the other mod by removing some of the items from it

bronze yoke
#

the best way to write lua is with modules, which have the best support for this, but the majority of mods don't use them - some of them use a global table instead which is just as good for your purposes, but if they're completely local you'll have to duplicate

ornate parrot
#

Hmm, ok

#

so what you're saying is like, using global tables to stop those items from spawning/being obtained?

bronze yoke
#

i was actually continuing my response to collide but the answer to your question is similar

ornate parrot
#

my bad

quick haven
#

Trying to make a clothing mod but the model keeps breaking, is there any way to fix this?

Project_Zomboid_6_26_2023_6_10_31_PM.png
ornate parrot
#

The reason why is because I want to use this on a server

#

or have it be able to be used on a server and said server has a mod that allows you to pick almost any clothing when you spawn in

#

if I were to just take the items off the loot table they would still be able to be obtained through character creation

#

hence my issue

bronze yoke
ornate parrot
#

ohhhh ok

bronze yoke
#

there's an OBSOLETE parameter for items, but i don't think it works as well as it does for recipes...?

#

i should check that, if that works it'd be even better to just make a new script that marks those items as obsolete and nothing else

ornate parrot
#

alright

#

how would I go about that then?

#

I don't got experience with modding unfortunately

#

but I assume you find the mod file and edit the script from there, then just upload the item script which will override the original mod?

bronze yoke
#

i had a quick look and it looks like OBSOLETE will stop it from spawning anywhere, but i don't think it'll stop it from showing up in the clothing selection unless the mod you're talking about specifically adds that

ornate parrot
#

well, I'll take what I can get

novel barn
#

@ornate parrot this might be a little hacky, but would it be sufficient for you to just overwrite the items you don't want to be items you do? Or is it necessary that the items be completely gone? For instance if the main mod in question has crocs as a type of shoe and you want that gone, would it be enough if crocs were actually just regular trainers. The full item name would still be crocs, but you could change the display name, model, etc to be trainers.

ornate parrot
#

I'm mostly trying to remove the extra clothing the mod adds and keep the shoes

novel barn
#

I suggest pursuing what Albion suggests first though. She's far more knowledgeable and will most likely be able to get you the best results.

ornate parrot
#

also keeping very few clothes as well but mainly only the riot gear

bronze yoke
#

so the way i'd do this: if two mods have the same filename in the same directory, only the file from the mod latest in the load order will be loaded - if your mod requires the other mod, i think it forces it to be later, so just copy their script with the same name and path, and remove the parts you don't want

#

i'd like to see a cleaner solution to this since file overrides are generally frowned upon but i've never come across needing to remove an item wholesale before

ornate parrot
#

as I said I'd also be fine if it stopped them from spawning

#

since right now I don't have a server nor do I use those clothes in singleplayer when I spawn in so

bronze yoke
#

in that case, a lua script like this:

local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem("Module.Item")
if item then
    item:DoParam("OBSOLETE = true")
end
```would be able to stop the item from spawning
ornate parrot
#

alright

#

now how would I apply that to certian items?

bronze yoke
#

you'd just need to swap out the "Module.Item" with the full type of the item (usually something like "MyMod.MyItem" or "Base.MyItem")

ornate parrot
#

Hold on I'm trying to find that

autumn temple
#

so I assume this is a code thing. but I am trying to get my custom animation to loop for if someones going to be crafting a large quantity of items. but when I enable <m_Looped> it for some reason speeds up my animation to a comical degree

#

does anyone know why it speeds up?

#

I assume its beacuse of these? but when I remove them the animation actually gets faster

image.png
#

nah speedscale doesnt seem to slow it down

primal remnant
#

If you guys haven't read or learned anything about "Behavior Trees", I found an awesome article that was recommended by ChatGPT. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Behavior Trees are what make NPC's possible, dynamic, and engaging.

While I wasn't looking specifically for something related to Project Zomboid, that is where the author made his inroads to the subject. The primary complain he had about online tutorials is that while they explained the topic, they failed to demonstrate the subject matter in any useful context. So he did it with PZ.

I think maybe ChatGPT remembered that I ask many questions about LUA and Modding for PZ and gave me relevant article, OR it's just a happy coincidence. No telling, but if you want to check it out, it's titled "Behavior trees for AI: How they work" by Chris Simpson. I'm reading it for free on gamedeloper.com. Unreal Engine also has some good documentation and exaples of Behavior Trees and AI. I think this will be very important as NPC's are introduced the game.

autumn temple
#

so I guess I cant loop my animation at all because of the broken speed. since SpeedScale doesnt seem to do anything when loop is applied.

autumn temple
# bronze yoke there's a lot of custom moodle mods

huh I will look into them because it is an interesting concept though having it as an individual mod probably is why they arent popular. I see the idea being better for a larger more complex mod with a moodle that relates to it. like a smoking overhaul mod having a custom smoking moodle and ect. not just the moodle and release.

#

It's very complicated and hard to get custom moodles to work too because the base game already has all the important moods. So there should not be a need to add more.

I'm kinda interested in modmaking but I probably want to wait until Build 42 for anything serious, right? Is it possible to create a new skill, or are the skills pretty hardcoded vis-a-vis the menu UI?

neon bronze

Its possible to make a new skill appear in the ui + b42 seems like a long time away from releasing

adding a skill to the ui is pretty simple, it's probably the actual implementation of the skill that'll be more complex

there's a script format for skills

In addition to less work, you'll also get compatibility with existing mods using the framework. But this is not working for Splitscreen players.

I am brainstorming how I want to do this custom moodle and I have no idea how to do any of it cuz its my first time messing with stuff like this

#

so my idea is to have a stat that accumulates over time, sort of like Boredom. and then I can assign that new stat to certain books or actions to reduce it.

#

does anyone know of any resources related to creating a custom stat like that?

Can anyone explain what each of the following are on IsoMovingObject, or at least which should be used to absolutely position something in the world?

  • x,y,z
  • Lx, Ly, Lz
  • Nx, Ny
  • Limpuslex, Limpulsey

x,y,z

#

i know the l-x,y,z needs to be set to teleport players but i don't think it's necessary for any other objects...?

ohh @mild venture knows something about this

robust briar
#

Trying to solve the "too many vehicles in one area" lag issue on a big server. Making a "parking/reclaim" system for vehicles.

bronze yoke
#

they were trying to teleport vehicles too, i don't think anything i pointed them towards worked but i think they did get it working in the end...?

#

the reason the usual method doesn't work on vehicles is because their position belongs to the physics engine

robust briar
#

idea was to TP the vehicles to the other side of the river, and give the player a claim slip. Then they can come back to the "teller" and get their car back.

#

you probably won't be able to teleport them to an unloaded area

where in the vanilla code can I view how character stats are made? I want to try to make a new one for my mod.

ornate parrot
#

That shit annoyed me so much

#

I'm glad I was able to fix it

#

now I can actually use the skinny version of the pants in peace

#

anyways I'll also fix the other 2 suit pants

#

army pants and white suit pants

bronze yoke
#

there's nothing mindblowing in there

ornate parrot
#

Now

#

I've got 1 question

#

How would I fix it for modded pants?

#

I.E Small Town First Responders

autumn temple
bronze yoke
#

you can't really replicate the way they do it

#

just creating a moddata table with myStat = 0 would literally be reimplementing what that class does

bronze yoke
ornate parrot
#

Huh?

#

nothing, I was gonna do the same thing I did to the other suit pants though

#

taking off the black line on the top so that way the skinny version don't look weird

autumn temple
#

if there is a resource that would assist me in trying to create a new stat id go with that, if not then i will just figure it out with the vanilla stuff

bronze yoke
#

i didn't look closely before, yeah that's weird as hell

ornate parrot
bronze yoke
#

the belt buckle is way too far from the top of the trousers

#

it definitely happens with stfr textures too? i might bring it up with them

ornate parrot
#

I mean

#

it's not a fault on their part

#

it's more of a thing that was part of the OG suit pants texture that came with PZ that nobody really noticed until it was pointed out

bronze yoke
#

well of course, but if it's an easy fix and we all agree it's better and should be done

ornate parrot
#

and we've all been using those same suit pants textures

#

if they wanna make that fix they can, it saves me time from adding it onto my mod lol

bronze yoke
#

as for doing it with an external patch, it's just the same method, except you need to ensure your mod loads after theirs

#

i think mods that require another mod in their modinfo load after that mod in singleplayer, for servers though the load order is up to the host

ornate parrot
#

I'll check it in a bit

#

rn I wanna try making the mod so it looks good on the workshop

bronze yoke
#

i'm not too familiar with ensuring the load order of mods as i primarily work with lua which has simpler solutions for that

ornate parrot
#

Either way

#

it's unfortunate

#

most annoying and infuriating thing ever when you finally notice it

bronze yoke
#

i'm probably going to have to install that mod when you've released it

ornate parrot
#

It'll be released pretty soon dw

#

only affects the skinny version of all kinds of suit pants

bronze yoke
#

luckily i haven't been able to spot anywhere in stfr that runs into that issue

#

maybe one of the texture artists spotted it already or we just haven't reskinned the item with the issue

ornate parrot
#

oh good

ornate parrot
#

and I haven't found the skinny variants for the stfr pants yet

autumn temple

yeah, i'm not sure we have any? but as always i'm not the assets guy

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a way to spawn furniture in game. I started out using setTileObject but I was able to run through that. While investigating setThumpable I came across ISSimplefurniture which appeared to be a magical function that just did it all.

So i'm trying to create 5 boxes in a line - i've gotten this far but when I run this code the game gets stuck in a horrible horrible loop - it errors out on every line of ISSimplefurniture. am I just doing something stupid with the sprites?

The errors seem to start with line15 of ISSimplefurniture (buildUtil.setInfo(self.javaObject, self);)

  print("5boxes");
  local sqX = 150
  local sqY = 70
  local sqZ = 0
  local size = 5
  local cell = getCell()
  for x = sqX - size, sqX + 1 do
          conceptsquare = getSquare(x, sqY, sqZ);
          print(conceptsquare);          
          conceptsquare:ClearTileObjectsExceptFloor();
          ISSimpleFurniture:create(x,sqY,sqZ,'furniture_storage_02_17','furniture_storage_02_18');
          print("ObjectAdded");
  end
end```
#

Any help would be amazing, especially if it's something simple / stupid that I'm doing. I know I could probably get more efficient with the location, but this is for a PoC and my plan is to optimise later.

sour island
#

you're forcing a string into where a boolean should be

# 
ISSimpleFurniture:create(x, y, z, north, sprite)

#

IsoThumpable(IsoCell cell, IsoGridSquare gridSquare, String sprite, boolean north, se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaTable table)

#

I thought North was the north version of the sprite

#

not a boolean

#

thank you

I think there's something that does use string in that position

there's another constructor that takes two strings, yeah

Howdy - how difficult would it be to spawn in notebooks with prewritten text in specific containers, possibly in modded locations / spawn a specific zombie with specific loot in a building? I haven't tried modding but I'm working on a challenge

sour island
#

it recognizes howdy too?

#

hola

#

west marsh
#

Lmao

sour island
#

I do some similar stuff in NamedLiterature

sharp minnow
#

So, maybe another stupid question, so how should I know if the boolean should be true or false in this instance? If what I want to spawn is facing that direction?

sour island
#

That mod applies a title to the object, changes their stats, etc - you could add prefilled stuff. IF you're trying to make some sort of predetermined events, that would take more work.

west marsh
west marsh

you could use OnFillContainer or LoadGridsquare, check if the container/square meets the conditions, then spawn a specific item and then mess with its properties

Making some good progress with my radial context menu replacement. It now can be a drop-in replacement for all context menus, I have submenus working (currently only right-click to "go back"), and it should be compatible with all mods as I'm just hooking into what already exists. Its worked so far on everything I've tried it with at least. That said, if a mod wants a custom icon in the radial, they'll have to set it via a new function. Still needs some work (especially icons), but its definitely coming along.

sharp minnow
# sour island ```lua ISSimpleFurniture:create(x, y, z, north, sprite) ```

@bronze yoke - thank you both for your advice.

I set it to false, but i'm still getting the same errors. I'm not sure what I'm meant to set the Boolean 'North' to, but I figure False is better than nothing.

When the game loads it goes into error overdrive until I close it, the screen is black and the errors are all to do with lighting. So maybe I'm referencing an object that doesn't exist?

    local sqY = 70
    local sqZ = 0
    local size = 5
    local cell = getCell()
    for x = sqX - size, sqX + 1 do
            conceptsquare = getSquare(x, sqY, sqZ);
            print(conceptsquare);          
            conceptsquare:ClearTileObjectsExceptFloor();
            ISSimpleFurniture:create(x,sqY,sqZ,false,'furniture_storage_02_17');
            print("ObjectAdded");
    end```
bronze yoke
#

i'm not sure if you're using ISSimpleFurniture correctly

#

create looks like an instance method

#

it inherits from ISBuildingObject which is usually used for the build cursor

#

yeah, i think you'd need to do something like

furniture = ISSimpleFurniture:new(name, sprite, northSprite)
furniture:create(x,sqY,sqZ,false,'furniture_storage_02_17')
#

you might want to just copy some of the stuff create does since it seems like using the ISSimpleFurniture class is a roundabout way of doing things

sour island
#

What does the error say?

bronze yoke
#

you're sort of creating a building cursor and then immediately making it activate

#

i forgot i'd already created objects from lua before, here's an example of how i did it```lua
local crate = IsoObject.new(freeSquare, 'furniture_storage_02_17', 'furniture_storage_02_18')
freeSquare:AddTileObject(crate)

#

freeSquare being your IsoGridSquare of course

#

iirc the second sprite name there is a mistake and the second string is just a name for the object

sharp minnow
sharp minnow
bronze yoke
#

it's kind of frustrating there's no obvious way to do basic things like... create an object LOL

Yeah! I might have a go with the ISsimplefurniture:new at some point but alas.

# mild venture Is there a way to remove an item from the radial menu?

For a regular radial, I think you can use RadialMenuAPI for that (haven't tried it, but iirc this is one of the features). For my context menu radials, it works the same as the current context menu stuff where you can just move stuff around. I don't build the radial until it's ready, so you can move stuff around.

This is for custom areas people may need to refer to - in this case it's for zones that will spawn mining nodes

Once it's more stable I'll be repackaging it to work as an API

Can be used for another idea someone had where zombies behave differently in certain areas

Guys again a quick question about how translation files work. I play with game in French so i try when possible to get all my mods in French. But wanted to know, for example when the game can't find the French translation for a string (example an item name) (lets imagine i forgot to translate a string), it will always display the English translation instead right?

#

learnt that trick when i was translating mods for Stalker Anomaly

autumn garnet
#

But do this in your mod.. not directly in the main mod

#

So after when you load ur mods, you call the translation mod at the end and it's will overwrite all translation file

bronze yoke
#

also, if the developer was lazy, item names might sometimes be specified in the script instead of a translation file - i think translation files should still work for those but you'll need to work out the translation string's name yourself

# winter thunder So, I think that this would accomplish what you were trying to do. <@28729641354...

I have no clue if it'll work, mind you. I borrowed the concept of how to make the zombies sprint from this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2797104510&searchtext=sprinter.

It seemed to be the closest thing I could easily find to emulate what you are trying to do. Basically, you change the world setting, forcefully make the zombie braindead, un-lobotomize it. and that should force it to follow the newly updated world settings. Then you set it back to the original lore speed.

Allows you to not need to worry about the type of zombie, because it will just make any living zombie that is currently on fire into a sprinter. Meaning that even the crawlers should be fine to be updated

Yeah, I have been working on and off on a drug mod. So I am trying to set up a point where if the player OD's, they will fall to the ground, be unable to move or otherwise do anything, and then stand back up while undergoing some pretty big negatives.

what weird ass math is causing this lol

#

I tell it to raise in only increments of 0.1 then it suddenly goes into 99999999999999999999

#

and it always only does it after 0.7. no matter how I try to edit it

bronze yoke
#

it's just a precision error

#

as long as you use floats you're going to see those, usually you can just ignore them

autumn temple
#

alright

#

ive been using if's to control how high it can build up to

#

idk if its optimal but it works

fast galleon
#

you could use integers for consistency, say 0 to 100

bronze yoke
#

you can use modData.TestStat = math.min(math.max(modData.TestStat, 0), 100)

autumn temple
bronze yoke
#

math.max returns the highest number out of its arguments, math.min returns the lowest, if you put them together it's a clamping function

fast galleon
#

as Vishnya says, it's more optimal to use if

bronze yoke
#

is that right?

fast galleon
#

seems to be

autumn temple

# 
if modData.TestStat < 0 then modData.TestStat = 0 elseif modData.TestStat > 1 then modData.TestStat = 1 end

Could someone explain the exact chances of getting a thread to drop for a given Tailoring level? Roughly how much of a chance increase is it per level? I've gathered that the game pulls a random number of up to seven, and if your Tailoring+1 is high enough you can get a thread. I think the number of thread you get is based on how many body parts the given clothing covers, but I'm not sure.

Because you'd actually have to be a virologist (or at least have a foundation in biology/biochemistry/microbiology) to work on vaccines - rather than be a doctor.

It's generally a master degree after you get a bachelor degree in one of those 3 bio degrees.

You could add a new skill and professions for it?

My own question:

Do zombie stats apply per-zombie? So, would it be possible to randomly make some zombies smarter / stronger / faster?

Is there a way to get modded item icon in the item list ? this has bothered me for too long.

#

The icon is missing next to the name for Metal Spear

Dont think so i think its a bug with the list in vanilla

So far i seen none of the modded items ever had an icon even if it was correctly implemented

The viewer is directly looking up the textures instead of reading from the item object.

@wet sandal @neon bronze So those icons must be in texture packs to work in vanilla. afaik there is not more Item_<Name>.png in PZ directories. I am tempted to fallback (except for moveable) to getTexture('media/textures/Item_'..item:getIcon()..'.png') but this is only because I used to put my items icons in that folder. It wil not work for other mods. Any preference for loose Item_ICON.png fodler ?

How do I get the player current square? player:getCurrentSquare() is always returning nil on a OnPlayerUpdate hook.

bronze yoke
#

player:getSquare()

silk hemlock
#

Tried that, also nil.

red tiger
#

Do you have the current player object?

silk hemlock
#

Don't you get that from the onplayerupdate hook?

red tiger
#

Does that send the player object or player integer ID?

bronze yoke
#

it sends the object

red tiger
#

Strange. No it should not return nil.

#

I wonder if you try to refetch the player through the ID stored in that object.

#

See what you get then.

# 
local player = ...;
local player2 = getPlayerByOnlineID(player:getOnlineID());
bronze yoke
#

you should use getSpecificPlayer and getPlayerNum, onlineids aren't assigned in singleplayer

red tiger
#

nil for a square is saying something is very wrong. Either your object is in an illegal state or that you're not calling what you think.

you can't actually set sickness with that

the game recalculates your sickness every frame, so whatever you do will be overwritten

I figured though if I wanted to actually do what I wanted, it was going to take me ages to work with ISSimpleFurniture as it didn't create a container. My thought was to redo ISSimpleFurniture and a few others to try to get what I needed, but it looks like i'm creating new objects from scratch.

I'm hung up on an event if anyone has a moment. I'm using Events.OnCreatePlayer to do something to the player once they load in. However in my experience Events.OnCreatePlayer is only triggering when the player has already been created and is loading into the game a second time. When I create the character originally, nothing happens. When I exit and reload my action to the player happens 100% of the time. Does anyone know what's going on? Or does anyone know of an event that fires after the character is in, but before the player gains control? Thanks in advance!

Edit: in case it helps clarify what I'm doing. I'm attempting to remove the player's inventory which I can do with getPlayer():getInventory():removeAllItems(). This only works when the character has already loaded in. Perhaps because the clothes haven't been equipped yet?

bronze yoke
#

it should fire even on the first time

verbal yew
#

Events.OnGameStart.Add?

bronze yoke
#

don't use getPlayer(), OnCreatePlayer passes the player object

the object might not be added to the list getPlayer uses yet, and it'll cause your code to clear player 1's inventory every time a splitscreen character spawns

I still enter fully clothed when I first start a new game. Is there a chance the character is assigned a starting outfit AFTER OnCreatePlayer?

#

However that's a really good point about not using getPlayer()! Thank you!

bronze yoke
#

is the clothing actually in your inventory? maybe the wornitems hasn't updated

novel barn
#

My leading assumption is that it hasn't. It isn't terribly important for me to remove the clothes. I'm mostly just experimenting with equipping and removing things to better understand ItemContainer

#

While I wait for Notloc's testing UI I'm writing my own super hacky unit tests

#

Thank you so much for the help! I think I'm going to sleep on this.

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i had a quick look but i don't see any indication that clothing should be added after the event (the event turns out to not even be part of the player creation process stressed) so i think it's just wornitems, the object that stores the appearance, not being notified of the items being removed

novel barn
#

I'll double check the player inventory then. Maybe I've been just quitting out after seeing my character clothed.

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i haven't tested it myself so i could always be wrong

I did notice last night that everything but the player's backpack and shoes had been removed even though the inventory was empty.

novel barn
#

the backpack is a whole different story. My character keeps getting one somehow...

#

I'll dig back through the history and see if I find anything revolutionary

#

You're right! Inventory is empty but the character is fully dressed. It's wornitems not getting updated. 🤔

idk what to tell you, something else is wrong. It is absolutely giving you the player object that you should be able to pull from. I made this change in lua/server/recipecode.lua

    local jar = items:get(0);
    local aged = jar:getAge() / jar:getOffAgeMax();

    result:setAge(result:getOffAgeMax() * aged);

    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.EmptyJar");
    print("TEST: " .. tostring(player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Doctor))) -- HERE

--    print("you're new food have age " .. result:getAge());
end```

I copied the function LabRecipes_UpgradeVaccine2 into lua/server/recipecode.lua with:

    ...all the same....
    
     local zReDoctor = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Doctor)    -- upgrade on 2 lvl
     print("HELLO: " .. tostring(zReDoctor))
...```
and set:
```    recipe Open Jar of Tomatoes
    {
        CannedTomato,

        Result:farming.Tomato=5,
        Time:30.0,
        OnCreate:LabRecipes_UpgradeVaccine2,

Is it possible to change the display name of a skill/perk without changing all references to it? Like, is the name that shows up in the UI changeable separately from the name used in references to it in code?

#

I want to change "Electricity" to show up as something like "Tinkering", but without going through all references to the Electricity skill in vanilla/modded code.

This is highly discouraged because it can produce results like this.

Run the game using a batch file provided to show the console so you can read the error regardless of the state of the game loading.

Hey, how can i inflict some of the effects of fever and sickness onto the player? i don't want them to die. i haven't found the documentation on moodles anywhere

drifting ore
#

No let me rephrase, i want to get some of the effects of foodsickness, but not all of them, especially not the chance of death part at high foodsickness.

the strength of the player's sickness moodle is taken from whichever is highest of food sickness, infection, and fake infection

there's no other way to make the player sick

Letting you guys know that I have a currently unreleased vscode extension called PZ-Wallet that I will release soon.

The extension allows people to build templates & snippets to use when modding Project Zomboid.

Plus, I will make a small API for it so that radials work like context menus (i.e. easy reordering, adding/removal, built-in pagination, easy radial submenus, etc). You'll be able to set your own color on a slice, and more and whatnot

hey folks, I've recently started fiddling around with modding and for the life of me... I can't figure out how to edit item tool tips when you hover over them on the inventory pane
I think I found the place where the tooltip is rendered in lua (ISToolTipInv:render()), but I don't exactly know how to add stuff to the object tooltip.
E.g. I want to add a new progress bar to weapons and possibly some custom text.
Does anyone have any knowledge around this bit? It seems like I'm missing something obvious 😅

how do you detect when the context menu is opened?
more specifically opened on an inventory item?

#

found what i was looking for, someone posted here about it a while ago

#

Inventory Context Menu

function(player, context, items)
Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(function);```

OKay, another instance of losing my mind.

I am setting up a special case of loot on zombies, and in the OnZombieDead event I am trying to add an item to the zombie to be dropped. Currently, I am doing:

local realItem = InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem("Base.AssaultRifle") -- just for example
zombie:addItemToSpawnAtDeath(realItem)

And that isn't working. So I tried to use zombie:getInventory():AddItem("...") and that didn't work. I looked at the java, and..

if (this.shouldDoInventory()) {
    this.DoZombieInventory();
 }

 LuaEventManager.triggerEvent("OnZombieDead", this);

It appears Inventory is done before the OnZombieDead event, so I tried to call DoZombieInventory as well, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know how to add an item to be dropped on the corpse from lua?

hidden jungle
#

you can do it the way MoreTraits does it.
that mod checks what containers are near the player and uses the container type to determine what it should do.

#

@robust briar

robust briar
#

Hmmm

#

Seems a bit hacky

hidden jungle
# 
function ContainerEvents(_iSInventoryPage, _state)
    local page = _iSInventoryPage;
    local state = _state;
    if state == "end" then
        local player = getPlayer();
        DoStuffWithInventory(page, state, player);
    end
end
function DoStuffWithInventory(page, state, player)
      for i,v in ipairs(Page.backpacks) do
          if v.inventory:getParent() then
              if instanceof(v.inventory:getParent(), "IsoDeadBody") and v.inventory:getParent():getContainer() then
                  --we have a body
              end
          end
      end
end
Events.OnRefreshInventoryWindowContainers.Add(ContainerEvents);
#

that might work, i just quickly copied the important stuff from More Traits' file by hand

robust briar
#

Yeah, I mean that would work, but then it going to put the special drop on any random zombie corpse

hidden jungle
#

then make it more specific

robust briar
#

So, need to log the XY of the death, then send that to client, then have client find the corpse in the tile, and plop the weapon in it..

#

or something like that

bronze yoke
#

calling additem after death should work

#

i've done this before

#

the zombie's inventory object is passed to the corpse when it gets created so anything you put in there should carry over

Server is fireing the event alright lol. I am doing it on server, and it is running.

#

I see my debug prints

bronze yoke
#

in multiplayer?

robust briar
#

yup

bronze yoke
#

in the server log and not in the in-game console?

robust briar
#

I have at the top of the file

#

if isClient() then return end

#

correct, in the debug-server log

bronze yoke
#

hmm i'd better correct that then

robust briar
#

but I think

#

its not synced

bronze yoke
#

the client might still be authoritative of the inventory yeah

robust briar
#

like zombie dies on client, does all its loot there, and just

#

tells the server about it

#

this makes things... not great for me

bronze yoke
#

the shouldDoInventory check indicates that only one client from many that could call that method should actually fill the inventory

robust briar
#

cause I need to track the last time globally a zombie got the special loot, so I was using ModData.. and I HATE the client side global moddata sync

#

its sooo.. terrible

#

sucks it up, and starts typing all the boilerplate for global moddata hell

bronze yoke
#

you can tell the server to update it with a client command instead

#

no need to sync stuff only one side needs

robust briar
#

well, every client needs to know last time as well

#

so they know if they are allowed to spawn the special loot

#

could also run into a situation where it doesn't sync in time 😢

#

if two people kill a zombie at the exact same moment

verbal yew
# 

    if not zombie:getOutfitName() then return false end
    local inv = zombie:getInventory();
        if 10 >= ZombRand (1, 100) then
          inv:AddItems("Base.Spoon", 1);
    end
end

Events.OnZombieDead.Add(CheckDrops);
#

on server

bronze yoke
#

you can send a server command when it flips

#

generally not a fan of syncing moddata so i tend to think in commands

robust briar
#

on server

#

in MP

robust briar
bronze yoke
#

i use moddata exclusively for information that should be persistent, and it rarely makes sense for both the server and the client to need to save the same information

robust briar
#

this is that unfortunate case

#

cause I need globally, all clients to agree

#

on when the last time special loot was dropped

#

and it needs to persist

#

for like

#

DAYS

#

across reboots

bronze yoke
#

well only the server needs to save it

robust briar
#

Yeah, but every client needs that data, and needs to know when it changes

#

OHH I SEE

bronze yoke
#

the general idea to me is that clients keep a bool that they request the state of when joining and the server sends a command to update it when it changes

robust briar
#

don't sync it

#

with moddata

#

yeah I do that for another mod

#

meh, probably about the same amount of work

#

ty for the info

bronze yoke
#

ty for the info that onzombiedead is not client specific

#

how to put a counter in a function?

Hi, is there a way to save a variable after exiting the game? i.e not have it reset to its default value after relogging/re-launching the game

bronze yoke
#

if the variable is supposed to be relevant to a specific object you can get that object's moddata table with object:getModData()

#

if it's not really attached to a specific object then you can get a global moddata table with ModData.getOrCreate("MyUniqueKey")

drifting ore
#

its tied to a player's modded moodle

bronze yoke
#

in both cases moddata is just a lua table that saves

#

either along with the object or along with the world

#

in this case i'd recommend player moddata

drifting ore
#

lua makes this so much harder 😅

should work?

ZombRand(1, 5) because the second value is not inclusive

verbal yew
#

not understood...

#

ou

bronze yoke
#

if you do ZombRand(1, 4) the possible values are 1, 2, 3

verbal yew
#

it's mean 1 2 3 4

#

yeh

#

understood

#

thanks

verbal yew
bronze yoke
#

it's only 1 thing after the concatenation anyway, but i think the tostring is not needed anyway

verbal yew
#

it's for future plan.
For sound shout mod.

i need 3 stuff:
gender, shout or whisper, variant

#

tostring(gender.."_"..shout.."_"..variant)

#

it's be work?

bronze yoke
#

yes, by the time the tostring is called it's already concatenated it into one object

#

but the concatenation will ensure it's a string anyway so tostring isn't needed

verbal yew
bronze yoke
#

e.g. in your code, SayNOTRESULT.."_"..SayVARIANT will become IGUI_zReVaccineNotResult_3 , that can't be represented as anything but a string anyway

verbal yew
#

okey, i think i get it

#

thanks ^^'

drifting ore

#

the second value is exclusive

drifting ore
#

but the first isnt

bronze yoke

the first is inclusive

drifting ore
#

thats cursed

bronze yoke
#

this is pretty much the standard syntax for rng functions

drifting ore
#

idk its cursed

#

i hate it

bronze yoke
#

i've always assumed the reasoning is because ZombRand(4) can return 4 different values

why did they do it like that

it has a lot of convenient implications

it has a lot of weird vibes unhappy
