#

I will see if I can help you on that problem you talked about earlier

sage magnet
#

yay

covert carbon
#

I will warn you I don't deal with textures and stuff

#

so I might not be too much of help

#

I will still see what I can do tho

sage magnet

#

I put together a resource based on whatever I picked up. Maybe you'd like to check it out, it's specifically for adding items to pz.

sage magnet
hollow lodge
#

i want an item to spawn on a certain group of zombies, where should I start?

crystal terrace
#

Which item?

hollow lodge
#

I have the outift already written in the zombiezonesdefinition, and the item is of my own

crystal terrace
#

Checkout procedural distribution file, it has all the lists for different zeds and what to spawn on em

hollow lodge
#

isn't that just for containers?

crystal terrace
#

You add your item to whatever list you want

crystal terrace
hollow lodge
#

Im looking at other mods, that have loot on zeds

#

says something abt suburbsdistributions

#

-- Zombie

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "MoksFoods.MoksSkittles");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 0.02);

bronze yoke
#

suburbsdistributions is proceduraldistributions, the table is registered under both names

hollow lodge
#

I have designed some outfits for the player and zeds, but strangely, there's an item that doesnt appear when choosing the outfit on the character creation page, so I'm wondering if I can have this clothing item spawn on zeds another way

crystal terrace
#

wait i think i might be wrong on this

#

ah

tawny pendant
#

can someone explain what's going on here? I know it has to do with the context menu, but Im not sure what I did to break it. Context, I added recipes for a trade mod so I can have more trades/the trades that I want. and now it's giving me this error every time I right click on a radio or cash. anyone able to tell me what I need to do to fix it?

question

#

is it possible to mod the intro screen to play a sound when "These are the end times" pops up?

#

Please ping me for responses

crystal terrace
#

i think this is the only way how they are spawning items on zeds, it's a nested inside all category

hollow lodge
#

mmmh

#

so it's quite impossible

#

thanks anyway

crystal terrace
#

on clothing yes but to spawn an item on zed that's possible

Hey :) do you know how to use "burntTile" from https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/iso/sprite/IsoSprite.html#burntTile
to ensure that it has the same name of the tile to avoid that it is burned ,
it is not an isoFlagType so impossible to do: ```lua

debug = {}

debug.OnObjectLeftMouseButtonDown = function(object, x, y)

print(object:getSprite():getName()) -- tyl_pnj_0 for example
print(object:getProperties())
print(object:getProperties():Set("PickUpLevel",tostring(1),false))

local sprite = IsoSpriteManager.instance:getSprite(object:getSprite():getName())
local props = sprite:getProperties()

print(sprite:getName())
print(props)

props:Set("burntTile","tyl_pnj_0") -- doesn't work not isoFlagType
-- or 
props:Set("burntTile",tostring(object:getSprite():getName()))

end

Events.OnObjectLeftMouseButtonDown.Add(debug.OnObjectLeftMouseButtonDown)

bronze yoke
#

if there's no setter it's not possible

#

fields can be read directly with some weird code but writing to them isn't possible outside of debug mode

autumn garnet
#

Ah :( thank you... well we will have to overwrite the file newtiledefinitions.tiles

uneven mauve
#

Sorry but what is lootzed?

bronze yoke
#

it's something you can turn on in the debug cheats menu, while it's active you can right click on a container's icon to open a menu that'll show you its distribution tables and true item spawn chances

#

I noticed the evolved recipe bit and wanted to see if I could poke at that so I stole these two from scripts/evolvedrecipes.txt

#

What does the :4 mean on the evolved recipe line in the cocacola item?

#

(it's a copy from popbottle)

bronze yoke
#

it uses 4 hunger from the item

turbid crypt
#

Oh ๐Ÿ‘€

#

How do other mods keep their sandbox options formatted nicely? I'm attempting to add them to one of my mods, and I've got them showing, but they always format to "Sandbox_ComfySleeping" instead of just "ComfySleeping"

Format in sandbox-options.txt seems to be the exact same as other mods with sandbox options..?

#

you need a translation file

sleek hull

Thx, I'll take a peek at some translation files from other mods and take another crack at it

I can't fully grasp what isogamecharacter is or what it does. Could somebody explain it for me?

tawny pendant
ancient grail
#

I think its your module

gilded hawk
#

Inside ISInventoryTransferAction:transferItem does anyone know if there is a way to see if the item was moved inside a tile container?

Like, I know I can check if it's a vehicle by doing this instanceof(self.destContainer:getParent(), "BaseVehicle") but how do I check if it is a tile?

ancient grail
#

Items are

Base.Apple

CustomMod.CustomItem

#

Yours is

Game Buddies.Item

#

Theres a space

tawny pendant
#

okay, so to fix it, I would just get rid of the space then?

ancient grail
#

Ye

#

cool

yeah Im just editing dingo's trade mod (revised) so Im working off of someone else's work lol

Is there anything special to how I put an evolved recipe in? I can't seem to make my cocacola able to be poured into a cup

# ancient grail <:nice:1124299457081659433>

Iโ€™m sorry, but can I ask you to show me which space I need to remove in the code? I have a feeling I have to do this multiple times across all the files from the original mod Iโ€™m editing but Iโ€™m not entirely sure which space or spaces I need to remove

ancient grail
#

Module

tawny pendant
#

Ah okay, so it should look like, Trade.guns, or something along that line then?

ancient grail
#

Yes

#

But you dont have to put the trade
On every entry

#

You just declare it once

tawny pendant
#

So just replace module with a trade and remove the spaces then. Got it. Thanks for the help!

ancient grail
#

I mean you made it
Buddies Guns

You can just
BuddiesGun

tawny pendant
#

Ah okay got it

ancient grail
#

Or you can keep that base
Cuz you only wrote recipes

bronze yoke
#

using base is bad practice

ancient grail
#

There are no items on the txt

#

Just recipe

tawny pendant
#

Iโ€™m just editing the work of two previous people for my own entertainment. So im just winging it lol

bronze yoke
#

recipes don't suffer from conflicts as badly as items but they still do

elfin stump
#

Does anyone have a reference to a good way to connect a timed action to an object so that you can 1) right click on it in your inventory and then 2) click a context menu item and 3) call a function from that click? I was trying out the Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add() event but it seems to trigger on any right click in the inventory (when the context populates), I would like to have it only trigger on a certain item, but I don't have a reference to what was clicked on when using that event. I also am not quite sure how to actually fire a function from the click on the context menu. - Any guides or anything out there?

bronze yoke
#

the event passes a table of selected items, you want to check if your item is in that table (or if it's the first entry, depending on how exactly you want it to be have)

elfin stump
#

is that table the second variable called "context"?

bronze yoke
#

it should be the third, 'items'

#

if you're looking at the wiki it might not be named the same way

#

but only the order matters anyway

elfin stump
#

ok cool, they are calling it worldObjects, I will give that a shot

covert carbon
# 
    local player = getPlayer()
    local chancetodie = ZombRand(6)
    if chancetodie == 5 then
        local bodydamage = player:getBodyDamage();
        local b = bodydamage.getBodyPart(Head);
        b:setDeepWounded(true);
    end
end```
It says that the line with ```local b = bodydamage.getBodyPart(Head);``` made an error. "Expected a method but got a function" any ideas?
tawny pendant
#

So what, I should just get rid of the

Imports
{
Base

Bits then?

bronze yoke
elfin stump
#

how about actually clicking on the button that was added? Do you know how to call a function from that selection choice after it has been added to the context?

bronze yoke
#

you should keep the import, what glytch3r is suggesting is to put your recipes into the base module directly which is really bad practice

sage magnet
#

It's me again, I managed to fix the icon but it has weird colors. How can I fix that ?

bronze yoke
#

is your item configured to have different colours? it's probably tinting the icon because of that

sage magnet
#

Well idk I haven't written anything about that

#

I need to disable it I guess

trim mist
sage magnet
#

lol

bronze yoke
#

in your screenshot, even the 'missing icon' icon is tinted red

#

so i think that's probably it

sage magnet
#

Ok I will try to fix that but I have an other issue

#

There is still no item description

bronze yoke
#

i think that means the clothing xml is missing or has an error

#

that's not really my area unfortunately

sage magnet
#

Oh ok I tought it was only to show it on the caracter/on the ground

tawny pendant

still giving me this error

STACK TRACE

bronze yoke
#

i'm not sure it is the module's fault, iirc the game doesn't really do any checking of module names and anything is technically valid (if bad practice)

#

usually when that happens it means an item that doesn't exist is being referenced by a recipe

#

usually a typo

elfin stump
#

Sweet got it, I just had some parameters switched around on the item there that was causing me trouble. I learned something from the fact it did not throw an error so thats a win.

bronze yoke
#

sometimes it's an error in the item script but your mod doesn't have any custom items right?

tawny pendant
#

nope, I know it's referencing from Brita's weapon and armor mods, but I don't remember it adding anything

ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

i think this error only occurs for the result item

#

so the error is in one of those

tawny pendant
#

oh great so now I have to go dig up both brita mods' item lists and check all the recipes the mod adds lmao

bronze yoke
#

have you imported the brita module? or used the full type in the reference?

tawny pendant
#

as far as I can tell brita just uses Base lol

bronze yoke
#

oh yeah...

sage magnet
#

If I need a UUID for my item, do I just choose randomly ?

bronze yoke
#

yeah, you can generate one online

sage magnet
#

Ok thanks

covert carbon
#

setBulletLodged(true);
So I know that BulletLodged isnt the correct term, but what is? For example
setDeepWounded(true);
would work

bronze yoke
#

setHaveBullet(boolean haveBullet, int doctorLevel)

tawny pendant
#

I think I found the broken entry, the original mod adds in a recipe to trade money for a glock 17, but as far as I can tell from the two item lists Brita included with their mod, the G17 is not an actual item.

bronze yoke

#

if you're in debug mode you might be able to see the name of the erroring item in the debugger

Anyone have a math brain? I need some help with a problem that's been haunting me for a while

bronze yoke
#

i've been writing some weird algorithms recently, hit me

tawny pendant
#

so it highlighted this line

#

a wider screenshot if that helps

bronze yoke
tawny pendant
covert carbon
#

the website says this is how you set up "setHaveBullet"
public void setHaveBullet(boolean haveBullet, int doctorLevel)

b:setHaveBullet(haveBullet(true), 0)
Would this work?

bronze yoke
#

it would just be b:setHaveBullet(true, 0)

covert carbon
#

yippee

#

thank you

#

Btw sorry I have been asking so many questions

tawny pendant
#

I found it, it's this Bag_Smersh_Vest, this is not an item. the item it's referencing is actually, Rig_Smersh

#

my head hurts now

trim mist
#

These are two seperate tooltips: both are affected by the same trait.
The problem here is, the boredom and happiness isn't getting worse when the food is worse for a player. it gets better
it gets better in both cases

    local newFoodHungerChange = (foodHungerChange + (foodHungerChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodThirstChange = (foodThirstChange + (foodThirstChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodEndChange = (foodEndChange + (foodEndChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodStressChange = (foodStressChange + (foodStressChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodBoredomChange = (foodBoredomChange + (foodBoredomChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodUnhappyChange = (foodUnhappyChange + (foodUnhappyChange * statModifier));
    local newFoodCalories = (foodCalories + (foodCalories * statModifier));
``` here's how I calculate these new values
"good" stat modifiers are positive decimals, "bad" stat modifiers are negatives
#

(sorry, just wanted to get my explanation in as few messages as possible)

bronze yoke
#

when the unhappy change is already negative, you're multiplying it by e.g. -0.2, which makes it positive again

sage magnet
#

Yay my gloves are working ๐Ÿฅณ

nimble yarrow
#

does lua have math.absolute?

trim mist
#

it do

bronze yoke
#

you can multiply the stat modifier by -1 when the base value is less than zero

tawny pendant
bronze yoke
#

e.g. i reimplemented math.min and found it to be ~11 times faster

#

since most of the common ones are very simple i recommend just writing the logic yourself

#

in the statsapi repo there's a file that reimplements the ones i've had to use so far, it might be nice to reimplement the whole math library like that

tawny pendant
#

this freakin file is the issue, its referencing the old version of Brita's Armor pack. im not gonna fix it, I don't even care about these recipes, so guess who's just gonna delete it and see if that fixes the error Im having

๐Ÿ“Ž OpertorOutlet.txt
nimble yarrow
#

is it possible to overwrite a mod's modoptions? you can't 'replace the file', as new options will just get stacked under the previous set of ints, bools, strings, etc

bronze yoke
#

do you mean sandbox options or the mod options mod?

nimble yarrow
#

sorry, sandbox options

bronze yoke
#

hmm, honestly unsure, it'd probably have to be done through lua rather than something more elegant

covert carbon
#

So my code works and it makes my character both get shot and bleed, but they got shot in their left hand rather than the head.

    local player = getPlayer()
    local chancetodie = ZombRand(6)
    if chancetodie == 5 then
        local bodydamage = player:getBodyDamage();
        local b = bodydamage:getBodyPart(Head);
        b:setHaveBullet(true, 0);
        b:generateBleeding();
        print ("You should be shot in the head now")
    end
end```
bronze yoke
#

try local b = bodydamage:getBodyPart(BodyPartType.Head);

covert carbon
#

thx

#

player:setOverallBodyHealth(5) I feel like im missing something

#

well I am bc the game says its an error

bronze yoke
#

that method is on BodyDamage

#

but it doesn't matter, that setter doesn't actually work

#

the overallbodyhealth gets recalculated every frame by the java, so changing it from lua doesn't really do anything

covert carbon
#

so. What am I supposed to do to make my health go down?

bronze yoke
#

you can do something like

local bodyDamage = player:getBodyDamage()
bodyDamage:ReduceGeneralHealth(95)
covert carbon
#

I am confused on the purpose of floats and booleans, what do they do?

#

I've probably used them in the past and just don't know it

bronze yoke
#

booleans are true/false, floats are decimal numbers (as opposed to integers which are numbers without decimals)

#

it's a bit weird to use since lua doesn't have types in the same way java does but kahlua generally converts things forgivingly

cobalt fiber
#

Yo albion, I gave up on the idea of using VSCode after taking a peek on IntelliJ.
Oh boy I fell in love with it

#

i'm with a bit of trouble in setting up my environment,

#

and was thinking if maybe you could help ๐Ÿ˜…

bronze yoke
#

sure, what issue are you facing?

cobalt fiber
#

well, a few...

covert carbon
#

ruh roh

cobalt fiber
#

I've noted them here

#

So, my questions are:

  1. The PZEventStubs typings are not working at all. I've set Umbrella as a Global Library on my project. Candle and PZLuaStubs are working fine, just the events are not.
  2. I have a utils file that stores some functions I use through out the mod, is there a way I can set these functions to auto-complete (ctrl+space) on other files too?
  3. Can IntelliJ identify what object is in a variable to get it's methods? eg.
    getPlayer(): <-- shows only methods available in IsoPlayer
#

forgot to say, some questions are related to umbrella

bronze yoke
#

hmm you're not the first person to face that first issue, but we never worked it out before either

#

3 implies to me that candle isn't working either

cobalt fiber
#

yeah, when I do IsoPlayer. it only shows it's variables, not it's methods

#

atributes*

bronze yoke
#

yeah, in that case you'd be accessing the static

#

but getPlayer() isn't suggesting the instance methods? that's weird

cobalt fiber
trim mist
#

@bronze yoke , thank you. This has been frustrating me for.... months now lol

image.png image.png
cobalt fiber
#

Only these are suggested

image.png
bronze yoke
#

are you using the emmylua plugin?

cobalt fiber
#

Is it this version?

image.png
#

I donwloaded directly in the markedplace

bronze yoke
#

should be good then...

#

mine seems to have a different version though

image.png
cobalt fiber
#

what I did was open my media folder as a project andUmbrella folder as a External Library (or Global)

#

tried a lot of different things but none of them worked =/

#

i'll try to get that version

bronze yoke
#

yeah, that should be perfect

#

i wonder why mine seems to be older, it's not offering me to update or anything

cobalt fiber
#

Maybe the IntelliJ version?

#

I use the community edition

#

donwloaded it yesterday

#

I'll try a reinstall in emmylua

bronze yoke
#

hmm yeah, i do use the professional version or whatever they call it

cobalt fiber
#

well, reinstalled it and didn't work ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

I don't know if there is a way to get that older version is it?

vagrant valley
#

Which attachment corresponds to holding items?

bronze yoke
#

i'll see if it lets me install the community edition at the same time and i'll see if i see the same problems

cobalt fiber
#

uh okay

#

I don't want to give you any extra work moley

#

I've broke my head a lot last night with this, was about to accept it

bronze yoke
#

well if it turns out umbrella doesn't work on community edition that's a pretty huge issue to me, nobody involved wants it to be paywalled

cobalt fiber
#

Oh...

#

but that is very weird isn't it?

#

after all isn't emmylua that is working behind the scenes

bronze yoke
#

honestly your screenshots don't even look like my ide so maybe the difference is larger than i think

cobalt fiber
#

I enabled it to see if it changes something

#

Before enabling, was not working either

covert carbon
#

I need an opinion on my russian roulette game. I have it set to where if the person shoots themself, they have a few seconds of life before their lodged bullet wound kills them. However, if they have a high enough first aid skill, and they have all proper medical supplies on them, they can heal themselfs a split second before they die. Should I keep it like this or should losing the russian roulette game be a guarunteed death for all?

bronze yoke
#

it seems like my version of ultimate is fairly outdated actually, i thought it had an auto update

#

but umbrella has worked for a lot of people so i'm not sure that should be causing it

#

yeah, it doesn't work for me in community either

cobalt fiber
#

yeah. very weird
maybe their version also is outdated?

#

Did you manage to get the Community edition installed and also not worked?

bronze yoke
#

yeah

cobalt fiber
#

so yeah that relieves me

#

I didn't do something stupid

#

but makes me kinda sad ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

Hope it's not something very hard or difficult to solve

crystal oar
cobalt fiber
#

Looks like it took a lot of work to get it going, just to get randomly stopped by a update

covert carbon
bronze yoke
#

does this version of emmylua even have autocomplete for standard lib?

cobalt fiber
#

what do you mean? like, Lua's own functions?

bronze yoke
#

yeah, i'm not getting any

#

it seems to give up after one 'layer'

#

it can point me to math/table/even stuff like Events etc but it won't point me to the functions inside them

cobalt fiber
#

me neither

image.png
#

Uhhh I see where you are getting

#

like, it can find a table, but not what is INSIDE it, right?

#

makes sense

#

Also makes sense with the autocomplete with my own functions is not working

bronze yoke
#

as far as i can tell newer emmylua versions literally just do not function properly

#

it might be caused by some big idea changes or something

cobalt fiber
#

yeah, tried a lot here and got nothing

bronze yoke
#

it seems like a newer idea version redid how the intellisense works and they're struggling to catch up

cobalt fiber
#

So, even if I got your version of emmylua, will probably not work too

#

because my idea is too new

bronze yoke
#

yeah, you'd need a 2022 build it seems like

cobalt fiber
#

hmmm, I'll try to get around with it

#

maybe I can download that version somewhere

#

will this I have a utils file that stores some functions I use through out the mod, is there a way I can set these functions to auto-complete (ctrl+space) on other files too? also work if I have the working version?

#

or I have to do some trickery

bronze yoke
#

that should work by default

cobalt fiber
#

okay

#

found a 2022.3 build, I'll try it and see if it works

#

i'll feedback here later

#

Thanks in advice anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Good day to you people :)
I'm using OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu event to check for a certain world object in case it was right clicked, and I set some of its moddata accordingly. I just found out this moddata isn't saved, so once you restart the game, said moddata are gone. Any idea what's causing it and what other approach should I use?

bronze yoke
#

that shouldn't be stressed

#

that's kind of the whole point of moddata

covert carbon
hollow current
bronze yoke
#

oh, it is

#

you can't store objects in moddata, objects are inherently not persistent

#

no objects or functions

hollow current
#

sooo what's a good way to temporarily remove an object from a user's inventory and "add it to the worlditem stored info", and be able to retrieve it later?

bronze yoke
#

i'm not sure if there is one, maybe you could create an inaccessible container for the item...?

#

otherwise you'd be stuck serialising every field of the object and then reconstructing it

hollow current
#

Ugh seems like a lot of extra unnecessary work. Will try to think of another approach to do what I am trying to do

you can simplify it a bit with a lookup table```lua
local allowedDeathroutes = {[0] = true, [1] = true, [2] = true, [3] = true, [4] = true, [5] = true, [6] = true, [7] = true, [8] = true, [9] = true}

if allowedDeathroutes[deathroutes] then

#

it also runs a bit faster

covert carbon
#

Im still confused on the timed action only popping up for when you right click certain items

#

I have ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua opened

#

I skimmed over it and I am trying to make it work but the code confuses me

hollow current
bronze yoke
#

that can't be right

hollow current
# 
function Frogshire.addFrog(player, frog, frogshire)
    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player)
    local invent = playerObj:getInventory()

    if Frogshire.getSex(frog) == "Male" then
        local maleFrogIsTamed = Frogshire.isTamed(frog)
        local maleFrogName = frog:getName()
        local maleFrogSex = Frogshire.getSex(frog)
        local maleFrogDateFound = Frogshire.getDateFound(frog)
        local maleFrogLastFed = frog:getModData().Frogshire_lastFed
        local maleFrogLastTameAttempt = frog:getModData().Frogshire_lastTameAttempt

        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogExists = true

        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogIsTamed = maleFrogIsTamed
        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogName = maleFrogName
        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogSex = maleFrogSex
        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogDateFound = maleFrogDateFound
        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogLastFed = maleFrogLastFed
        frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogLastTameAttempt = maleFrogLastTameAttempt
    else
        --Same snippet but for females. Removed due to character limit
    end

    invent:Remove(frog)
end```
# 
if frogshire:getModData().Frogshire_maleFrogExists then
  removeMaleFrogOption = subMenu:addOption("Remove Male Frog", player, Frogshire.removeMaleFrog, frogshire)
else
  addMaleFrogOption = subMenu:addOption("Add Male Frog", player, Frogshire.addFrog, maleFrog, frogshire)
  if not canAddMaleFrog then
    addMaleFrogOption.notAvailable = true
  end
end```
#

so, I add male frog, go to main menu and load the world again, I don't have the prompt to remove the frog, and instead a prompt to add a new one

covert carbon
#

So would I have to copy the entire ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua file to make my context menu only work for specific items?

bronze yoke
#

no, you can just use the OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu event

covert carbon
#

alright that finishes most of the coding

#

how do you make animations for zomboid?

#

I actually have experience in animation and editing so this should hopefully be good for me

crystal oar
covert carbon
#

I'm still trying to nail down the OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu

#

Somehow my file just got deleted

#

nvm I got it back

# 
    roulettecontext
end```
#

So that is my script

#

and zomboid says it expects a "=" near the "end"

#

any idea why?

hollow current
#

That should be an easier way to do it

covert carbon
#

thank you

hollow current
#

you can name your function whatever, doesn't have to be in same exact way as I provided

#

My pleasure :)

covert carbon
#

where it says myMod.myFunction

#

do I have to replace that for my code

hollow current
#

yes. In my function I name it Frogshire.InventoryContextMenu = function(player, context, items)

#

but it can be anything, like just myFunction

#

I just prefer the first approach because it gives me more freedom in case I need to use the function somewhere else, and I kinda got used to it. Just, in case you decide to use it, make sure to initialise the table

covert carbon
#

So could it look like this


ISWorldObjectContextMenu.fetchSquares = {}

RussianRoulette.inventoryfulfilled = function(player, context, items)
  print("hello!")
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(RussianRoulette.inventoryfulfilled);```
hollow current
#

Yes, but you'll have to initialise the RussianRoulette table

# 
require 'ISUI/ISWorldObjectContextMenu'

RussianRoulette = RussianRoulette or {}

ISWorldObjectContextMenu.fetchSquares = {}

RussianRoulette.inventoryfulfilled = function(player, context, items)
  print("hello!")
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(RussianRoulette.inventoryfulfilled);```
covert carbon
#

what table

#

Im sorry im just confused on the whole thing

hollow current
#

so assume your mod contains a lot of functions, and you may or may not want to use those functions across different files, or different variables, etc

#

in this case, you'd do a RussianRoulette = RussianRoulette or {} at the top of each file that your mod uses (and needs such functionality), and whenever you're adding a function, you define it as RussianRoulette.functionName, that way its saved in that table and can be easily called from elsewhere. You probably wouldn't need that with your event function but its a personal preference for me that I got used to it

covert carbon
#

That's actually pretty cool

bronze yoke
#

may as well use modules at that point

covert carbon
#

true

bronze yoke
#

they run faster and pollute less

covert carbon
#

But the issue is still there. I don't understand the proper way to use OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu

hollow current
#

OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu is basically an event that is called when the world right clicks somewhere in the world. When we want something to happen at that event, we define a function for it and add it to the event. So, suppose I want to print a test statement when a player right clicks on the world

RussianRoulette.myFunction = function(player, context, worldobjects, test)
  print("test)
end

Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(RussianRoulette.myFunction);```
#

honestly speaking I am not sure what the test parameter does but its there in some vanilla code, and used in the function as if test then return ISWorldObjectContextMenu.setTest() end

#

but its irrelevant here so might as well just remove it

covert carbon
#

Oh wait a minute

#

I am talking about OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu

#

I am sorry

#

I am trying to make it to where you right click an item you have and it gives you a context menu option

hollow current
#

haha its the same logic here, just replace the naming of event and parameters

covert carbon
#

I already have the context menu set up, I just want it to only appear when you click the proper item

hollow current
# 
Frogshire.InventoryContextMenu = function(player, context, items)
    -- Iterate over the items and add a context menu option for each one
    for i, v in ipairs(items) do
        local item = v
        if not instanceof(v, "InventoryItem") then
            item = v.items[1]
        end

        -- Only add context menu options for Frogs
        if item:getType() == "Frog" then
          --rest of your code
#

that's a snippet from a mod im working on

#

just edit as needed

covert carbon
#

what do I fill the "context" parameter with? do I fill it with the context menu I set up?

hollow current
#

you can use context:addOption() function to add the menu you set up

covert carbon
#

how would i put multiple items in the "items" parameter

cobalt fiber
hollow current
#

for example

firstOption = context:addOption("First Option", parameterToPass1, functionToExecute, parameterToPass2)
secondOption = context:addOption("Second Option", parameterToPass1, functionToExecute, parameterToPass2)```
covert carbon
#

is that " ` " purposefully at the end of the first line?

hollow current
#

nope was a mistake, removed haha

bronze yoke
covert carbon
#

imma try out my own script rq

cobalt fiber
#

Hmm I see, that runs faster because it don't mess with the global environment right?

bronze yoke
#

yeah!

covert carbon
#

so like this @hollow current

local secondOption = context:addOption(player, roulettecontext, Revolver_Long)```
cobalt fiber
#

Cool!
I'll try to implement it on my files

#

I don't need to specify if it is in the client/server/shared folder?

hollow current
#

hmm not quite. You failed to define the text that'll show on the buttons

#

if I want a button that has a text of "Button 1", and when clicked, it calls "myFunction", and passes to it the parameters "player" and "frog", the code would be:

local firstOption = context:addOption("Button 1", player, myFunction, frog)```
covert carbon
# 
local secondOption = context:addOption("Play Russian Roulette",player, roulettecontext, Revolver_Long)```
hollow current
#

yes looks alright, assuming the roulettecontext is a defined function that takes two parameters

covert carbon
#

how would I make it take two

hollow current
# 
function roulettecontext(player, revolver)
  print(player)
  print(revolver)
end```
covert carbon
#

okay

hollow current
#

what exactly are you trying to do? Maybe I can assist you better

covert carbon
#

Im making a russian roulette mod. I have suceeded in making a context menu and a timed action that caused a person to die. My issue now is that I want the context menu option to only appear when right clicking on a revolver

hollow current
covert carbon
#

what is "i" and "v" in that code

#

would this work

    -- Iterate over the items and add a context menu option for each one
    for i, v in ipairs(items) do
        local item = v
        if not instanceof(v, Revolver_Short) then
            item = v.items[1]
        end

        -- Only add context menu options for Frogs
        if item:getType() == Revolver_Short then
          --rest of your code```
hollow current
#

the i represents the numeric index of the item (since we're looping over the items table)
v represents the actual item

covert carbon
#

so would my code work?

hollow current
#

and no this most likely won't work cause first:

if not instanceof(v, Revolver_Short) then

You should be checking for InventoryItem instance (or whatever instance the object you're looking for is, but most likely will be InventoryItem). It's not something unique for each item

bronze yoke
#

btw, ipairs is bad practice

#

it's just a for loop with overhead

covert carbon
#

albion can I ask something rq

hollow current
bronze yoke
#

just using a for loop

covert carbon
#

btw its getting late so im going to bed after this question

bronze yoke
# 
for i = 1, #t do
    v = t[i]
end
```is the exact same as ipairs
#

but runs faster

#

with how slow kahlua stdlib is it can be more significant than you'd think

hollow current
#

I see. Idk why i got used to the ipairs practice, maybe some initial copy-pasting when i first started modding lol

covert carbon
#

earlier, you had said to use OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu for what I wanted to do. I do not get how it works. I looked at it on the main site.

    -- Your code here
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu)```
#

this is the example it gave

#

I do not understand the example

bronze yoke
#

yeah, the wiki is really just showing what an event looks like and not how to use this specific one

covert carbon
#

So how would I use OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu to make my context menu appear when I right click a specific item

bronze yoke
#

the usual method is to check if your item is in items, then add your option to the context menu which they seem to have called table

covert carbon
#

Do you have an example of this I could use?

bronze yoke
#

i do but i can't get it right now unfortunately

covert carbon
#

#

understandable

#

I wont bug you about it lol

#

but quick question

#

am I required to use the parameters in OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu?

#

Or can I just leave it as ()

late hound
#

Late reply, but feel free to message me with any questions that you may still have.

bronze yoke
#

you're not required

hollow current
#

my assumption is that worldobjects' "unique identifiers" are dynamic between each world restart

bronze yoke
#

ohh, is the world object a dropped inventory item??

#

i didn't know those behaved differently but i wouldn't've been so adamant that it should work if i knew that

hollow current
#

erm yes

#

my bad, should've probably clarified further haha

#

thanks for your attempt to help though. Much appreciated :)

you can get player X,Y,Z then iterate in X-5, X-4, ...,X+4, X+5, same with Y and Z checking cells if they are doors

#

But you need atleast one

crystal terrace
cobalt fiber
#

because the first param that the function receive is the target param

#

then after is param1, param2 and so on

#

(I made that mistake myself drunk )

sage magnet

should be something like "malezombieinventory"

That's why I'm confused

crystal terrace

try male

sage magnet

no results for male and inventory

elfin stump
# neon bronze But you need atleast one

Okay so am I understanding right that you need to pass this 4 parameters instead of 3? name, target, function, firstParameter - I had been passing three, and the function is firing on the right click before clicking on the added option, is that because I am missing the parameter?

crystal terrace

let me check

I've never seem a option trigger instantly when you rightclick

elfin stump
#

Okay I will need to revisit my code. Right now the function passed into onSelect is firing on my right click in the inventory menu. Then when I click on the option in the context menu, nothing happens. There must be some issue with how I am calling it.

cobalt fiber
#

how you passed the function?

#

can you paste the line here?

crystal terrace
elfin stump
#

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(functionHere) - is what I am using, then in that function I am running local option = tbl:addOption(getText("Action Name"), player, functionHere(player))

sage magnet
cobalt fiber
#

tbl:addOption(getText("Action Name"), player, functionHere(player)) here is the problem

#

you're passing functionHere(player)

#

should be functionHere

elfin stump
#

ahh yep thank you

crystal terrace
cobalt fiber
#

you need to send a pointer to the function

#

not call it

elfin stump
#

got it, yeah I have run into this one before in LUA I forget about that sometimes

cobalt fiber
#

when you put the () there, you are calling it

#

thats why it's running when you rightclick

cobalt fiber
elfin stump
#

So then the param1 param2 param3 is the send parameters to taht function since you cant (call it in here) right?

cobalt fiber
#

yes

elfin stump
#

In roblox actually haha

sage magnet
cobalt fiber
#

if your function is

funtion something(player, door)
end

you need to do addOption(optionName, player, something, door)

hello. It's me, the lurker.
So I've got a question: Is it possible to lock certain vehicle skins behind a sandbox option?


Events.OnInitGlobalModData.Add(function()
    if SandboxVars.STEV.VCars == true then
        ScriptManager.instance:getVehicle('CarNormal'):Load('CarNormal', '{skin {texture = vehicles/vehicle_rosewoodpolice,}}')
    end
end)

This seems to return a big fat "Texture not found!" in the log when I change the vehicle's skin to the added one (it gives me the option), but doesn't tell any info on what the unfound texture is.

getWorldItem of non-table: null usually means it's failing to find an item at some point

yeah. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ I'm just not sure what I'm missing because the game clearly knows it exists. I know if I remove the IconsForTexture and just assign a standard Icon value it works.

But I can't figure out how the default multitextured bags work to replicate the behavior such as hiking bags, tinted duffle bags, and obviously this school bag.

#

I made a function and added it to the OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu event. Apparently, it works only in debug mode. Any idea why so or what may cause such behavior?

#

if instanceof(object, 'IsoWorldInventoryObject') then returns true in debug mode but not in "none debug mode"

Edit:
When right clicking the item in debug mode (an item dropped on ground), its detected as IsoWorldInventoryObject, however, when debug mode isn't enabled, its detected as just IsoObject. This is causing errors in my code logic

Edit2: as a matter of fact I don't think the item is being detected at all. IsoObject is being printed regardless of where I click

#

Any idea how to fix that?

neon bronze

Can you share your code here?

hollow current
#

ah right mb

# 
Frogshire = Frogshire or {}

Frogshire.Pond = function(player, context, worldobjects)
    local frogshire
    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player)
    local invent = playerObj:getInventory()

    for _, object in ipairs(worldobjects) do
        if instanceof(object, 'IsoWorldInventoryObject') then
                  --rest of code
end

Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(Frogshire.Pond);
neon bronze
#

Well it does look correct to me

#

Are you sure you enable the mod when you load in?

hollow current
#

yes if I make it a simple print statement it gets printed in the console

#

the issue is that IsoWorldInventoryObject gets detected when im in debug mode

#

but if i login without debug mode and do exact same thing, its not detected

neon bronze
#

And player is an number?

hollow current
#

should be, but its irrelevant here. Both local playerObj and local invent were added for testing the issue but you can consider them not in the snippet of the code

neon bronze
#

What exactly are you trying to achieve with that snippet?

hollow current
#

I am trying to check if the player right clicks on a specific object that is dropped on the ground

#

the object is an item that is added by the mod

neon bronze
#

Cant really help you with that but it would maybe better to check their item type instead of checking whether they are an IsoWorldInventoryOnject

#

Almost all items on the floor are that so it would be redundant to check for that

hollow current
#

yes well, after I check for IsoWorldInventoryObject I check for its type, the issue is its not even being detected in worldobjects

#

if I loop through worldobjects and print each object, its not there

neon bronze
#

Maybe try right clicking around it? I know the cursor is a bit sensitive about it

hollow current
#

Tried that too

#

the game is just apparently not detecting any kind of IsoWorldInventoryObject-s at all

Hello. Could someone help with sandbox settings? I've made that If sandboxsetting box is checked , it removes vanila guns spawns

RemoveItemFromDistribution(Distributions[1], "Pistol",            nil, true);
and all other guns this way aswell
end

And it does work when creating save and playing untill you restart game, then it uses default setting (which is: sandboxsetting unchecked). Using mod to change sandbox settings they still are what they're supposed to, but as said above, they do use default settings, and turning them back on and off does nothing. Its my first time trying to those settings and im not sure what to do.

calling functions without brackets works fine in lua right?

bronze yoke
#

without brackets?

crystal terrace
#

like functionName() or functionName both works?

bronze yoke

functionName() calls the function, functionName passes the reference to the function

there is a niche case where functions that take one string argument and nothing else can be called as functionName "foo"

and it can't be a variable either... it's very niche

and then you can use %1, %2, etc if you need something to be inserted into the string

try some other wierder ones, like <LIME> or <Lime>

theres some lua code called ISUI/ISColorPicker but idk if that is relevant

yeah dead end

i honestly don't even know where to start to look for this

I'm curious what the difference between <PUSHRGB:r,g,b>, and <RGB:r,g,b> is

You would have to edit them in some external program, export them from the UI.pack and just modify individual ones, then .pack them together

I am trying to play an animation in a timed action, like so:

self:setActionAnim("Bob_IdleLowSneak")

#

I think I might be doing something wrong cause it shows the "surrender" animation instead, any idea why's that?

#

@worthy sparrow ah yeah. Do you know maybe that I can use bigger images than 32x32 for items images to achive bigger resolution?

Anyone down to help me make a mod for a tiktok. Itโ€™s a animation mod and Iโ€™m new to making mods for PZ but I need tiktok content. We can chat and maybe do like a virtual smoke sesh while making it I had to call off work and have time to use later

it defaults to surrender because Bob_IdleLowSneak is not an ActionAnim keyword, it is an animation. you need to use the PerformingAction trigger associated to the ActionAnim instead. look in the according xml file for what is in the place of 'TheValueYouAreLookingFor' <m_Conditions> <m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name> <m_Type>STRING</m_Type> <m_StringValue>TheValueYouAreLookingFor</m_StringValue> </m_Conditions>

aaah I see. Thanks. Any guide that shows it? Never worked with anims before

# hollow current aaah I see. Thanks. Any guide that shows it? Never worked with anims before

Note that there are 2 layers of animations (that I am aware of): layer 0 is used by java states code and modifies movements/lowerbody, layer 1 is used by AnimAction (~=TimedActions) and modifies the upperbody. You can use a trick for AnimAction to modify the movement/lowerbody, add the following lines at the end of the actions/file.xml: <m_SubStateBoneWeights> <boneName>Dummy01</boneName> </m_SubStateBoneWeights> <m_SubStateBoneWeights> <boneName>Translation_Data</boneName> </m_SubStateBoneWeights>

#

if you want your character to really sneak though, you may wanna use the java state machine instead of TimedActions.

I am honestly just trying to activate the sneak idle animation during a timed action

#

and the player wouldn't even be expected to be moving through the action, he'd just be idle on that animation till the timed action is over and he'll revert back to normal

#

For context, this is the result I am trying to achieve during a timed action, to give the implication that the player is interaction with that "pond"

although in the pic I am crouched using normal crouch method, C

There is already an vanilla AnimAction for low interaction, reuse it
