or just rollItem actually

[patent knoll]

Recipe.OnCreate = {}

function Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyBagBlue(playerObj, square)
for i = 0, inv:getItems():size() - 1 do
local bag = inv:getItems():get(i);
if bag ~= nil then
if bag:getFullType() == "SupplyFlares.SupplyBagBlue" then
local baginv = bag:getInventory();
baginv:addItem("Base.Bandage");
end
end
end
end

[bronze yoke]

AddItem

[neon bronze]

I hope they change it in b42

[bronze yoke]

lowercase addItem is only used for passing in an already existing item

[neon bronze]

So many people have problems witjh addItem and AddItem

[bronze yoke]

those people need to get umbrella :3

[patent knoll]

if its that simple thats silly

[neon bronze]

Im still doing the old looking up java docs and looking at vanilla code way lol

[patent knoll]

by already existing item you mean an item already in inventory correct

[bronze yoke]

yeah

an instance of an item, not just a string telling it which item to create a new one of

[patent knoll]

so if i want to roll item instead of add item in my code I would add a line like baginv: itempickerjava.rollItem ?

[neon bronze]

Do you want to add an item from a distro list?

[patent knoll]

i apologize for having no idea what im doing lol and so few people use java in their mods its hard to find

I want to add like 3-5 items from the vanilla distro lists so if mods add items to these lists it can populate those items as well

[bronze yoke]

i think you'd have to use a combination of fillContainer and ForceForContainers actually

[patent knoll]

I feel bad cause i'm sure these are questions that get constantly asked

[ancient grail]

local inv =  playerObj:getInventory()

[bronze yoke]

i don't see how you could get a ItemPickerJava.ItemPickerRoom for the other one

[bronze yoke]

no, this is the first time anything like this has come up in my time here

[neon bronze]

Isnt he trying to add items to a bag?

[bronze yoke]

no he's right

inv comes from nowhere

[patent knoll]

you're right i need to add local inv = player...

[bronze yoke]

OnCreate functions get passed the result item as their third argument

you can just use that instead of looping through the inventory looking for it

[neon bronze]

I mean if its a bag wouldnt it be simple to reference the .items list and do ZombRand from 1 to #.items list to add a random amount of items?

[bronze yoke]

i'm not even sure if the item is added to the inventory by the time OnCreate is called

[neon bronze]

Its reference in the result but i think its added after the function ran

[ancient grail]

I usually go to debug and try the syntax there
Before actually creating the structures
(To each their own)

Its easier to write if know the syntax.
Im saying this cuz im trying out zombie functions atm hehe

[patent knoll]

my debugging so far as been console review, no clue how to do it otherwise. When I say I'm new i mean very new

[bronze yoke]

do you have debug mode on?

[patent knoll]

but we were looking to add some endgame depth to our playthroughs and this is a precursor to that.

no

[bronze yoke]

you can launch the game with -debug for debug mode

it'll give you an in-game error trace and a lua console, and a bunch of cheats and stuff for testing

[patent knoll]

under advanced launch options

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[patent knoll]

i was just running cheat menu for spawning etc

but an error trace and lua console sound very helpful

[crystal terrace]

ye try to explore it, you can also double click on lines of code to set at break point so you can take a look at what holds what value at that instant.

[patent knoll]

googling forceforcontainers returned 0 results 😄

[bronze yoke]

ok it turns out that isn't real

there's only forcefortiles, zones and rooms

the dist lists are done on a per-container basis anyway

[patent knoll]

fillContainer seems like what I'm looking for just need to find an example of it somewhere now.

[bronze yoke]

i can't see how to force it to use a specific list, it'll just pick randomly as usual

[patent knoll]

Is it not possible to create custom tables drawn from the vanilla list to call from ?

[bronze yoke]

rollContainerItem seems to be the key actually

[patent knoll]

my concern there is just mod compatability, if a mod adds foods I'd like it possible for them to drop as long as the modder bother to designate vanilla distribution locations

[bronze yoke]

all of these have really misleading names

[patent knoll]

I agree from an outsider looking in

[bronze yoke]

most of them have singular names and then i look inside and it tries to add every single item in the distribution table

[patent knoll]

so in the debug menu if a line of code is green what does that indicate?

[bronze yoke]

could you screenshot? i might just be having a moment but i don't think i've ever seen green code

[bronze yoke]

ohh right, i never quite processed what colour that was

that means it's the current line

[neon bronze]

Also points out where the error occurs

[bronze yoke]

in this case it's still an error because you define inv in the loop that needs inv to generate

[patent knoll]

okay so currently with the inv = line added its throwing no code but not adding the item to the container inventory.

[neon bronze]

Put it outside the for loop

[bronze yoke]

oh i didn't even notice, do not do Recipe.OnCreate = {}

that wipes the entire oncreate table

[neon bronze]

Also way too many ends

[patent knoll]

lol thank you

[neon bronze]

1 too many my mistake

[patent knoll]

I had it as SupplyFlares.Recipe.OnCreate = {} but that wasn't working at all

[bronze yoke]

you have to define each part as a table

e.g.```lua
SupplyFlares = {}
SupplyFlares.Recipe = {}
SupplyFlares.Recipe.OnCreate = {}

[neon bronze]

You can male Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyFlares if you want

[patent knoll]

local inv = playerObj:getInventory()
for i = 0, inv:getItems():size() - 1 do
local inv = playerObj:getInventory()
local bag = inv:getItems():get(i);

[bronze yoke]

you can skip a lot of this code by just using the result passed from OnCreate```lua
function Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyBagBlue(playerObj, square, result)
local baginv = result:getInventory();
baginv:AddItem("Base.Bandage");
end

[patent knoll]

and i don't need to declare any kind of Recipe.OnCreate?

[bronze yoke]

it's declared by vanilla already

[neon bronze]

Recipe.OnCreate is already an existing table

You just add your stuff to it

[patent knoll]

will this only target the bag created this time

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[patent knoll]

thats so much cleaner, then i just have to figure out the code that replaces the base.bandage with rollContainerItem

[neon bronze]

First check if the current code works

[patent knoll]

hmm still not adding bandages to the bag

[bronze yoke]

is the file in the server folder?

[patent knoll]

but it did add it to the playerinvenotry

[bronze yoke]

oh huh

vanilla's recipe code is in the server folder, so the table won't exist yet unless it's also in server since server runs last

[patent knoll]

my luas are located under mod/media/lua/server

[neon bronze]

What did it add to the inventory?

[patent knoll]

the blue supply bag and the bandage

both to player inventory

[neon bronze]

Whats your current function like?

[patent knoll]

function Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyBagBlue(playerObj, square, result)
local baginv = result:getInventory();
baginv:AddItem("Base.Bandage");
end

the one albion posted above

[bronze yoke]

ohh my bad

[patent knoll]

oh no worries whatsoever

[bronze yoke]

i misread the params

[patent knoll]

I'm learning plenty

[bronze yoke]

the order is actually function Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyBagBlue(items, result, player)

[neon bronze]

Lmao

[bronze yoke]

i thought it was the third because object, arrayList2, inventoryItem2 but object is the function to call 😅

[patent knoll]

this worked

thank you so much

[ancient grail]

local inv = playerObj:getInventory()
for i = 0, inv:getItems():size() - 1 do
~~~ local inv = playerObj:getInventory()~~~
local bag = inv:getItems():get(i);

[patent knoll]

ty we actually bypassed this with a simpler bit of code

well albion bypassed it

[ancient grail]

Yeah using the arg

[patent knoll]

I'm still learning to translate what a param and arg are so you guys are awesome

[ancient grail]

Thats the proper way.
Im just pointing stuff out cuz you said you are new to this.

[patent knoll]

oh no i appreciate it

some of it goes over my head i'm just like sure that makes sense

[ancient grail]

The local can reach inside the loop cuz its declared OUTSIDE and BEFORE the loop

[bronze yoke]

here's my guess on how to use rollContainerItem```lua
local distContainer = ItemPickerJava.getItemContainer("bedroom", "crate", "ClothingStorageWinter", false)
ItemPickerJava.rollContainerItem(result, player, distContainer)

and here's where i got the strings from, obviously not the one you want

but that should show you where (i think) it wants the strings from

[patent knoll]

what does the false in the above string refer to?

or arg not string

[bronze yoke]

if it's true it looks in the junk table instead

[patent knoll]

alright im gonna give that last bit a test run

[bronze yoke]

yeah i don't really know if it'll work

but it seems correct

[patent knoll]

so I'd declare local distcontainer.... and then id do something like baginv: distContainer?

and is there a limit to the number of procgens I can include?

[bronze yoke]

just one, if you want multiple you can put them all in a list and choose one randomly

or if you want multiple to be spawned, just do the code for each one

[bronze yoke]

that whole code should be enough to fill the container

[patent knoll]

local baginv = result:getInventory();
local distContainer = ItemPickerJava.getItemContainer("bedroom", "crate", "ClothingStorageWinter", false)
ItemPickerJava.rollContainerItem(result, player, distContainer)
baginv: AddItem(distContainer);

[bronze yoke]

distContainer is a reference to the java object that stores the data about distributions

[ancient grail]

I just read back
And saw your objective
Im thinking you dont need to use the java code you mentioned

You just need to be able to reference the list from the distribution table somehow
And just do something like

getPlayer():getInventory():addItems(yourDistribList:get(ZombRand(#yourDistribList), qty)

[patent knoll]

ohhhh

[bronze yoke]

(the lua tables are eventually parsed into java for performance reasons)

[patent knoll]

so i don't need the baginv:additem line at all?

[bronze yoke]

nope

rollContainerItem should basically run the normal loot spawner on that container for that distributions table

[patent knoll]

if that works i just need to set the amount of items to roll

[bronze yoke]

distrib lists have gaps

[patent knoll]

does it repeat until fill

[bronze yoke]

zombrand will try to add a number 50% of the time

[ancient grail]

Right..

Maybe have em put into his table or something

Cuz i was thinking he can use lootzed similar functions

[bronze yoke]

this actually does the whole table (rolling for each item), not just one like the name would suggest

i think if you wanted to limit the amount of items the easiest way would just be to let it do that and then trim down the number of items afterwards

[patent knoll]

Mostly i just want to be able to reference the vanilla lists for mod computability for instance if britas guns to allow those the potental to spawn in say a weapon supply

[ancient grail]

Right right... Ok ..

Yeah im not sure if its possible with bags

[patent knoll]

lol

eventually it will be a helicopter supply crate on delay that spawns zombies and noise that attracts more zombies.

right now just trying to get the simplest bits taken care of

[ancient grail]

Cuz if you can trigger this via lua that easily then the problems with server problems

containers that are destroyed then replaced manually wont spawn items like it used to do

[bronze yoke]

e.g. doing this after the ItemPickerJava call

local items = baginv:getItems()
-- 5 here should be whatever you want the max items to be
for i = items:size()-1, 5, -1 do
    baginv:Remove(items:get(i))
end

[patent knoll]

function Recipe.OnCreate.SupplyBagBlue(items, result, player)
local baginv = result:getInventory();
local distContainer = ItemPickerJava.getItemContainer("bedroom", "crate", "ClothingStorageWinter", false)
ItemPickerJava.rollContainerItem(result, player, distContainer)
local items = baginv:getItems()
-- 5 here should be whatever you want the max items to be
for i = items:size()-1, 5, -1 do
baginv:Remove(items:get(i))
end
end

[patent knoll]

this may work if i can reference the vanilla generation lists in my distriblist

[bronze yoke]

if the items list is sorted this could cause skewed distributions though (since it always removes all but the first 5, if they always come out in the same order then the ones that come out later will be rarer as they'll be deleted unless there is less than 5 items already)

let me fix that actually

[ancient grail]

btw this is how you use codeblocks on discord
``

--lua codes here

``

Anyways goodluck with your mod

[patent knoll]

appreciate it greatly

[patent knoll]

with the code you sent me it adds a single item to the bag from that list

[bronze yoke]

oh really?

[patent knoll]

yep

but it works fantastic otherwise

[bronze yoke]

in that case you can just loop it

that's easier, though i don't quite understand why it works that way from reading the source

[patent knoll]

okay dumb question how do i loop it

if then

[bronze yoke]

use a for loop```lua
for i = 1, 5 do
-- code you want to repeat
end

[patent knoll]

would i = items:size()-1 < 5 do

work if i wanted 5 items

[bronze yoke]

if it only adds one each time you don't need to do that weird stuff

just i = 1, (number you want)

[patent knoll]

i = items:size()-1 < 5 do

worked oddly enough

correction worked oddly gonna try i = 1, (number you want)

[drifting ore]

Has anyone made an automation mod like on Minecraft / Factorio etc?

[rocky abyss]

Hey I'm very new to modding PZ (started today, with some knowledge in java and lua). I do not really understand the implementation of java methods in lua. For example in the Java docs there is "IsoPlayer" class with the method "getCell()". But if I print(IsoPlayer():getCell()) it gives an error. However print(getPlayer():getCell()) works? using only print(getCell()) works as well? How is this? Is there a simple explaination to this?

[bronze yoke]

getCell is an instance method, you need an instance of an object to call it, not just the class

[neon bronze]

IsoPlayer is the name of the instance

Getplayer gets you an IsoPlayer

[rocky abyss]

Ok, but why does only getCell() work as well?

[bronze yoke]

because that's a global method

[rocky abyss]

do i not have to write getplayer() whenever i use an "IsoPlayer()" function?

[bronze yoke]

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/Lua/LuaManager.GlobalObject.html#getCell()

anything in here can be called on its own

[rocky abyss]

thank you

[rocky abyss]

may i ask what an instance method is exactly?

[bronze yoke]

instance methods need to be called on an instance of the class

as opposed to static methods which can be called just from the class

[rocky abyss]

ok, i understand, thanks

[rocky abyss]

Hey, can someone explain why this

function firstFunc()
    print('##########################')

    print('x: ', getCell():getWorldX())
    print('y: ', getCell():getWorldY())
    

    print('##########################')
end


Events.EveryOneMinute.Add(firstFunc)

Alwys prints x:0 and y:0? printing only getCell() is also always the same, even after i teleportet around the map. is this not "attached" to the player?

[neon bronze]

I would do getPlayer():getCell() insteaf

[bronze yoke]

getWorldX always returns zero

there's no difference between getPlayer():getCell() and getCell() except the first one takes more performance

[patent knoll]

This seems to be throwing an error and not working;

local items = baginv:getItems()
-- 5 here should be whatever you want the max items to be
for i = 1, 5,
baginv:Remove(items:get(i))
end

[bronze yoke]

for i = 1, 5 do

[patent knoll]

local items = baginv:getItems()
-- 5 here should be whatever you want the max items to be
for i = 1, 5 do
baginv:Remove(items:get(i))
end

still throwing an error

[bronze yoke]

it is attached to the player, the cell is not a static object but the entire currently loaded area

[bronze yoke]

it doesn't 'change' because there is only one in existence

[neon bronze]

So getPlayer():getCell() anf getCell() return the same thing?

[bronze yoke]

yes, there is always only one cell and all the getCell() methods return the same one

[neon bronze]

Wow

[bronze yoke]

i think at some point there must have been multiple cells because there are so many methods suggesting that, but that is not the case now

[neon bronze]

Will it give also cells back that are not loaded in?

[bronze yoke]

the cell is the currently loaded area, there are no 'unloaded cells'

[neon bronze]

Bjt there are multiple ways to get a cell, or do they all point to the same function?

[bronze yoke]

they all point to the same function

[neon bronze]

Damn

[bronze yoke]

there being multiple is one of the many reasons i think this was probably different in the past

[rocky abyss]

How do i get the player cell then?

[bronze yoke]

getCell()

it's not a specific map area, i know in mapping cells are 300x300 areas but that seems to have nothing to do with IsoCell, i'm not even sure if those 'mapping cells' exist at runtime at all

[neon bronze]

I thought there would be a way to fuck around a bit behind the scenes if you could store an object that is not the player and from it get the the objects cell

[bronze yoke]

there is only ever one cell

[neon bronze]

What if i call getCell() on the server?

[rocky abyss]

but that returns always the same

[bronze yoke]

yes, there is only one cell

[rocky abyss]

what

[neon bronze]

Its the cell

Its your cell

[rocky abyss]

Ah

[neon bronze]

Where you are currently

[rocky abyss]

but the object string is also the same always

[bronze yoke]

because it's the same object

[rocky abyss]

okok

but, what do i have to do to get the world relative coords of my cell or character position?

[neon bronze]

getPlayer():getX() getPlayer():getY()

[rocky abyss]

and what does purpose does getCell() even have?

[bronze yoke]

it has a lot of object lists and utilities

it's the object that governs everything that is currently loaded

[rocky abyss]

Yesss, that worked

[bronze yoke]

e.g. if i wanted to scan for zombies i would want to use its zombie list

[rocky abyss]

like getCell():getZombieList()?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[rocky abyss]

but there are different getCells(). Like from IsoPlayer, IsoWorld, IsoObject. Do they all just basically return 0, 0 for wherever they are located? Except for maybe isoworld, since it is the whole map?

[bronze yoke]

there is only one cell

all getCells point to the same cell

[rocky abyss]

i'm confused again

[bronze yoke]

0, 0 is because those properties are deprecated

[rocky abyss]

but how would getzombieList be any useful?

[bronze yoke]

it has all currently loaded zombies

[rocky abyss]

all on every part of the map?

[bronze yoke]

on every currently loaded part of the map

[rocky abyss]

ok, nice

So in multiplayer every zombie that is loaded by any player, right?

[bronze yoke]

no, in multiplayer it's only stuff that's loaded for the current client

and for the server the list is empty

[rocky abyss]

ok

very confusing (for me) but thank you for your time and help. I think i'm beginning to understand

[neon bronze]

Its a bumpy road to modding in pz

[rocky abyss]

definitely

[patent knoll]

Just wanted to make sure to thank you for your and Alphas help today. Got tied up on other stuff but I appreciate the guidance.

[heady crystal]

So I am using addItemToSpawnAtDeath to... well... Add an item to spawn at a zombie's death lol
But it doesn't work on MP. I am guessing it's not transmitted to the clients. Anybody know if there's any function that would do this?

[bronze yoke]

you can add the item to the zombie's inventory OnZombieDead

[heady crystal]

Wouldn't that trigger for every zombie dead and I'd have to make further checks to know

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[fast galleon]

put to shared folder

[crystal terrace]

if a square isnt loaded due to player being away from it, can i not access such square?

[bronze yoke]

you can't

[heady crystal]

gets triggered

[crystal terrace]

is there a way to force load or something maybe?

[heady crystal]

Hm I guess it's worth trying

[crystal terrace]

[heady crystal]

Wait can I fetch a zombie's inventory while it's alive

I am spawning it

[bronze yoke]

no, the inventory doesn't exist until just before that event

[heady crystal]

Starts fuming

[bronze yoke]

well i think it does but it gets wiped when they die

[heady crystal]

This is MESSED UP reeee

[bronze yoke]

where are you adding it to their items to spawn at death?

[heady crystal]

As soon as I spawn them

[bronze yoke]

i think only the zombie's owner's list matters

[heady crystal]

Ugh this is gonna impact performance. I hate this. This is just wrong

[crystal terrace]

is there a way to store complex objects somewhere?

[heady crystal]

Let me guess, OnZombieDead doesn't work on MP?

For the server

Only for clients

[bronze yoke]

zombies barely even exist on the server

don't bother trying to do anything with them on there

if done from the server most things either don't work or delete the zombie for desync

[rocky abyss]

Hi I need help with my mod. Somehow it removes items/recipes but i have no idea why. I only have this in my scripts
items.txt

module TestTest {
imports {
Base
}
item MyItem
{
Type = Food,
DisplayName = My First Item,
Icon = MyIcon,
Weight = 0.1,
}

recipe Do Some Testing
{
    MyItem=5,

    Result:NailsBox=2,
    Time:6.0,

}

}

[bronze yoke]

is your script called items.txt?

[crystal terrace]

keep file names diff from vanilla

[bronze yoke]

if it's the same name and directory it overrides vanilla/other mods files

[crystal terrace]

do something liek myitems.txt or just anything to distinguish it

[rocky abyss]

Does it even matter if i'm on a different module?

[bronze yoke]

modules are for item name conflicts, file name conflicts are a separate issue

[rocky abyss]

the game uses base, i use TestTest as moduel

ok, thanks for information

[bronze yoke]

if there are two scripts/items.txt, the game will only run one no matter what

[rocky abyss]

so every mod on the workshop has to use a different name for their own items?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[rocky abyss]

ok, thanks

[covert carbon]

Whats the difference between OnCreateSurvivor and OnCreatePlayer

[bronze yoke]

it fires for IsoSurvivor objects, which are only used for the character creation preview right now

[covert carbon]

so would either work for detecting when a character spawns into the world?

[bronze yoke]

no, only OnCreatePlayer is reliable

[covert carbon]

thank you

[crystal terrace]

what is the string value that goes here?

is it this one?

[bronze yoke]

it's the texture iirc

we discussed it here

you can just pass nil, but i recommend using the item factory anyway

[crystal terrace]

ah oki that might not be what im looking for then, i thought i might be able to recreate items. Since i can't really store objects.

[glacial viper]

Do I need to change getFileWrite as well?

[bronze yoke]

that should write to whichever environment it's running on

[glacial viper]

I added the isClient check

doesn't seem to create the file

[bronze yoke]

oh, your code triggers on OnPlayerUpdate, but that's a client only event, so it never triggers on the server

[glacial viper]

Ah, then do i need to use OnTick then?

O is there a better way to update the value server side

[bronze yoke]

i would caution against writing a file every tick in general, but yes that's the closest equivalent

[covert carbon]

    player:die()
end```

i'm not understanding the issue with this code. I get errors everytime I click the button on my UI

[ancient grail]

getPlayer():Kill(nil)

[bronze yoke]

die is correct

it's probably getting an error because player is not defined

[covert carbon]

I defined player

[covert carbon]

this worked. Thank you 🙂

[bronze yoke]

huh, i use :die() for all my testing and it's never failed me

[crystal terrace]

hi, found this one while looking for something relevant to my problem. Could you point me to a direction, how should i go about this. Do i store obj as string type and use it to initliase or if there's something you know?

[bronze yoke]

you literally have to store every property of the object and then use that to set everything back again

extremely tedious and manual

[crystal terrace]

a minor setback in schedule ig

[glacial viper]

Can I use Events.EveryTenMinutes instead? Does it get called in server?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[crystal terrace]

at an instance, how many squares are loaded? a cell of 300x300?

or just isoregion

[bronze yoke]

it depends on resolution

when i tested it it was around ~200x200 for me

[crystal terrace]

so i should be able to work with 200 x 200 squares at any instance around player

[bronze yoke]

it varies

[covert carbon]

Is there a wait function for lua?

[bronze yoke]

no

[covert carbon]

Is there a way to make a timer?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, there's some framework mods on the workshop to simplify it

[covert carbon]

Would this work?

    repeat(Time)
        Local CurrentTime = os.time()
        while CurrentTime < CurrentTime + 1 do
        
        end
    end
end```

[bronze yoke]

it would, but it would also freeze the entire game until it ends

[covert carbon]

why is that

[bronze yoke]

everything is single threaded and lua is part of the main game loop

only one thing can be running at a time so as long as your timer is running the entire rest of the game is frozen

[covert carbon]

Okay

[crystal terrace]

dont even need nukes now

you got em

[bronze yoke]

just crash the game LOL

[tawdry solar]

zomboid heimer

[turbid gale]

I've recently been successfully crashing the game

apparently items consuming themselves in bizarre ways royally confuses the game

[tawny pendant]

I’m looking for the Icon used for Baking soda. But I cant seem to find it anywhere. Is there a folder im missing? Or is this a case of ill just have to make my own? I’m just trying to use it as a temporary image for my mod in the mod menu.

[turbid gale]

they're compressed in some bank file

they live in UI.pack and UI2.pack in the texturepacks folder

[bronze yoke]

grabbing it from the wiki is usually the easiest way

[tawny pendant]

Yeah I ended up just doing that lol

[hardy wave]

Does anyone know what result=8 refers to

There is literally 1 entry on google

[covert carbon]

Project Zomboidheimer (thanks for the name gas 2 go nationalist) is halfway done

[cobalt fiber]

So, I saw that you where talking about cells and stuff, and a question got in my mind

What happens if I add things to the modData of a object that is out of the loaded area?

[tawny pendant]

can someone explain what Im doing wrong here?

im starting to go insane

[bronze yoke]

no comma on the skill required line

[tawny pendant]

I have never wanted to punch a keyboard more in my life

is it possible to specify tainted water? or is the only way to add water a recipe to have it accept both?

[cobalt fiber]

just found out, it simply doesn't change the modData

[bronze yoke]

you shouldn't even be able to get a reference to unloaded objects

[bronze yoke]

some vanilla recipes specify untainted water, maybe you can reverse it?

[tawny pendant]

shoot which ones do? cause I can probably find it in the recipe scripts then

[covert carbon]

I may be wrong but I think all food recipes require untained water

but I will check real quick to make sure

[tawdry solar]

no problamo

are you actually making a nuke?

[covert carbon]

yes

[tawdry solar]

i wanna see where this is going

is it like going well?

[covert carbon]

I have the UI finished but im currently trying to make a nuke model in blender

[tawdry solar]

you could make it like a gaint aerosol bomb

where it exploads killing shit and sets fire

[covert carbon]

its going fine but I am annoyed by how lua doesnt have a wait function

[tawdry solar]

ah

[covert carbon]

Similar to one of my ideas where I took the pipe bomb and just 10000x it

[tawdry solar]

you can do that?

[covert carbon]

good question havent tried it yet

one sec actually

[tawdry solar]

did your russian roulette thing ever work out

i was stalking chat and saw it

[covert carbon]

Taking a break on it. If the nuke mod works out I will go back to it

[tawdry solar]

ah alr

[covert carbon]

When I was making that mod I had 0 coding knowledge

now I have a little

[tawdry solar]

thats how you get better

[covert carbon]

my brother actually tried helping me with it (he majors in computer science) and he got mad about the documentation for modding

[tawny pendant]

OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.NotTaintedWater

this seems to be the only bit of code related to tainted water, and its so that you can't clean bandages and strips with tainted water

[covert carbon]

OnTest:Recipe.OnTest.TaintedWater

wild guess but just do that probably

[tawny pendant]

well its worth a shot

well it giving me an error on loading where there wasn't an error on loading isn't a good sign

[covert carbon]

Time for your 5 hour debugging session

[tawny pendant]

I probably just forgot a comma again. that or there just isn't a way to only use tainted water

[bronze yoke]

you can just make your own function that does the opposite

[tawny pendant]

how? XD

[drifting ore]

Does anyone know the variable for if you successfully hit a player?- Specifically with a melee weapon-

[dark wedge]

There's the event OnWeaponHitCharacter
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Lua_Events/OnWeaponHitCharacter
You'll have to check if the character being hit is a player and if the weapon is a melee weapon.

[drifting ore]

Gotcha, time to check if something like that exists in the variables

Maybe OnPlayerAttackFinished?

[dark wedge]

OnPlayerAttackFinished doesn't give you the target.
OnWeaponHitCharacter gives you (wielder, character, handWeapon, damage)
You just have to check if character is a player (that's what you're hitting), and that handWeapon is a melee weapon (that's what you're hitting with).

[drifting ore]

ohhhhh, okay got it! Thank you for the help!

Okay this is a layer deeper than I expected to go with this mod... time to figure out lua events!

[tawny pendant]

Anyone know how I can write a function to allow me to return a jar and lid after a crafting recipe? Specifically I’m trying to make a recipe that has the player pour something out of jar. So I need to be able to return the jar item without having it as a part of the recipe

Nvm figured it out

[hardy wave]

Any mod that allows players to trade items from long distances?

I know that there is already a trade UI in the game. Dont see how there isnt yet a mod that does this.

[civic kiln]

hey fellas, anyone knows if there's a way to remove an item's param? i wanna get rid of the "AttachmentType" from an item in my mod using the getActivatedMods to check if a certain mod is active then have the attachmenttype removed from the item

but idrk how to completely remove the param. i can set it to blank obviously, but that wouldn't work
(i wanna get rid of it because it causes the item to have the "Attach" option redded out and not work, yet still show)

[bronze yoke]

just do it the other way around

only set it if that mod isn't active

i think that's one of the few parameters you can't undo at all

[civic kiln]

so you say add the param only when the other mod is active? and if it isn't just end the script there? instead of having the param set in item script as how i'm doing it atm

wonder why i hadn't thought of that

thanks! that worked flawlessly @bronze yoke

[tawny pendant]

okay so Im trying to upload my finished mod onto the workshop and its throwing me this error. what did I do wrong now

never mind, I forgot I was in offline mode

Until I get bored of modding in pz hopefully it'll be a while👀

[patent knoll]

Well I will be here bugging you for a while I feel like, cause I'm still learning all the syntax and its like a foreign language atm

So these two lines of code work, is it possible for distContainer to be modified to roll from a list of containers rather than just this specific container. I know I can changed it to any container I want, just wasn't sure if I could have it roll a editable list I can reference to here.
local distContainer = ItemPickerJava.getItemContainer("bedroom", "crate", "ClothingStorageWinter", false)
ItemPickerJava.rollContainerItem(result, player, distContainer)

i.e local distContainer = ItemPickerJava.getItemContainer("SVSupplyBag", "SupplyBagBlue") and then have a distribution file with supplybagblue be something like
SVSupplyBag = {
SupplyBagBlue = {
rolls = 3,
procedural = true,
procList = {
{name="SalonCounter", min=0, max=99},
{name="SalonShelfHaircare", min=0, max=99, weightChance=100},
{name="SalonShelfTowels", min=0, max=99, weightChance=10},
{name="SalonShelfTowels", min=0, max=99, weightChance=50},
{name="SalonShelfHaircare", min=0, max=99, weightChance=100},
}
}
}
obviously the above wouldnt work but is there something like this that would be plausable

[hardy wave]

Trying to make some safehouse adjustments. Want them to only be allowed to be claimed in safezones but not anywhere else. Is there a mod that does this? Base-game feature?

[crystal terrace]

i think a way around this would be to checkout how mods implement safehouse functionality, if there's a way you can then use that data to check if its a safehouse to begin with. Just an idea.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the nearest road from the player?

I'm guessing I'll end up writing code to search each square extending from the player until it's a road tile

[crystal terrace]

interesting, i was trying to find out how many squares i can access around player. Roughly the count was around 97 at tops if there was no larger walls in between. Walls seem to interfere with getting next tile in succession.

[void cargo]

I wonder if it has something to do with needing to get the next IsoChunk and maybe loading it while in use

I wonder if building aren't always loaded until they are seen

[crystal terrace]

are you suggesting to load next chunk at end of it?

Yeah that's my guess

[covert carbon]

How do I spawn in an item that I made?

[neon bronze]

With item picker i think its called

[patent knoll]

I'm trying to add an item sound that attracts zombies on use by a pretty good range. Do I just need Sound Volume = and Sound Range =?

[crystal terrace]

think so, in sound script you can decide the range i believe

test it out by spawning a zed a bit far and using that item for a smaller range first

[patent knoll]

well currently i'm having trouble to actually get it to make the sound

I'm using CustomEatSound = SV_Flare,

in the item script

and the SV_Flare is located in the sound file

i can't figure out why its not working though

[crystal terrace]

Do you have the correct format?

For sound file

[patent knoll]

i think so

my only concern is the module name

do all my mod file share a module name

or does each script need to have a unique name

module SVFlareSound

sound SVFlare
{
category = Item,
clip {
file = media/sounds/SVFlare
distanceMax = 300
distanceMin = 1
volume = 0.7
}
}

this is what my sound script looks like

and its a wav file so i know thats right

[crystal terrace]

Are you in debug mode?

[patent knoll]

yeah but debugging is not exactly my forte yet

[crystal terrace]

From what I know sound files don't play in debug mode

[patent knoll]

ahhh

[crystal terrace]

It should work in normal gameplay if there's no other problem, happened to me as well.

[patent knoll]

does the file = line need to be special where it isnt a base game sound

that the structure for my mod

[crystal terrace]

I'm assuming you wrapped all the scripts inside module (just coz I don't see the curly braces here)

[patent knoll]

I have not waka waka

module SVFlareSound
{

sound SVFlare
{
category = Item,
clip {
file = media/sounds/SVFlare
distanceMax = 300
distanceMin = 1
volume = 0.7
}
}
}

[crystal terrace]

Now it looks fine, also make sure if the folder name is sound or sounds

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Scripts_guide/Sound_Script_Guide

[patent knoll]

my folder is sounds

base game is sound

[crystal terrace]

I'm not sure if it would mess up but from my experience, game is expecting sound in sound folder.

Just the names of files need to be different but structure and folder names has to be same I believe

[patent knoll]

i changed it to sound

thanks for your help

gonna test in debug and if that doesn't work ill hop out of debug

[crystal terrace]

alr, make sure to update that change in script as well

[patent knoll]

i did

media/sound/SVFlare

[crystal terrace]

and if none of this works, i did one more thing while i was adding sounds. Switched em to mono, might as well use that as last option.

[patent knoll]

i didn't see that option on the website

[crystal terrace]

its not, youd need to edit sound file for that. Whatever software you're using to work with sounds should have an option but lets just give this a try before you jump to this.

[patent knoll]

yep still no sound

[crystal terrace]

you jumped out of debug?

[crystal terrace]

also just looked at this one, values inside clip are missing ","

[patent knoll]

I am honestly no surprised 😄 Ill check this out in a moment

[patent knoll]

,'s corrected still no sound lol

ill have to look at another mod that adds sounds and see if i can figure out what im doing wrong

[crystal terrace]

welp, as a last resort id suggest to maybe try converting sound to mono then if you dont find anything.

[patent knoll]

kk, I've gotta stop working on this but will pick it back up tomorrow

thanks for your help

[crystal terrace]

this was my script while i was learning stuff about addting items, worked for me.

[patent knoll]

module SVFlareSound
{

sound SVFlare
{
category = Item,
clip {
file = media/sound/SVFlare.wav,
distanceMax = 300,
distanceMin = 1,
volume = 0.7,
}
}
}

I am not totally sure why thats not working

this isn't the actual nuke I just wanted to test out if I could make it into an item

[chrome veldt]

Anyone have an idea why I can't iterate through this ArrayList?

local world = getWorld()
local worldCharacters = world.Characters -- public final ArrayList<IsoGameCharacter>
local characterList = ""
for index=0, worldCharacters:size() -1 do -- java.lang.RuntimeException: Object tried to call nil
    characterList = characterList .. worldCharacters:get(index):getFullName() .. ':'
end

There's no getter for the characters, or at least, I didn't find any so I'm trying to use the public Characters field. I feel like world.Characters is wrong but I've tried many other things and nothing succeeded so far

[bronze yoke]

missing comma on DisplayName line

[bronze yoke]

yeah, you can't directly access fields like that

[chrome veldt]

Yeah, it seemed too good to be true

[bronze yoke]

there's some absolutely insane function calls to do it, i have an api mod that would actually let you do this with no code changes though (it changes the syntax to be exactly as you've done it)

[chrome veldt]

Ho, that's neat, crazy it has to be that hard

[bronze yoke]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3001901955

i think you might be able to get that arraylist elsewhere though without adding a dependency

i'd have to check exactly how Characters is used and if it differs from the others but if you're just looking for a player list there's other places

LOL it's dead code

[chrome veldt]

Yeah, I'm looking for the playerlist in a given world. By any chance, is there a way to identify a world with a unique ID of some sort?

[chrome veldt]

that's unfortunate

[bronze yoke]

wdym in a given world?

[chrome veldt]

I mean, in the current world

[bronze yoke]

you can get the local players with IsoPlayer.getPlayers()

you can get all players in multiplayer with getOnlinePlayers() but on the client that will only include characters the player has been close enough to load at least once that session

[chrome veldt]

What do you mean by local players? All the singleplayer characters that lived in the world?

That's nice, I might move some code in the server then, thanks!

[bronze yoke]

the local players would be the characters currently playing on that client (up to 4 because of splitscreen)

i'm not sure if you'd be able to get historical data, i'm pretty sure dead characters get overwritten by the new ones

there are some functions to get player data from the database though, so if that's not the case it can probably be done

[covert carbon]

Alright the nuke is nearly done. A few more hours and we are done.

[chrome veldt]

I didn't get into the database part yet, I might need to look into it! Thanks!

And do you know if I can identify a world by an ID or something other than the name?

[bronze yoke]

i'm not sure

[crystal terrace]

shit you might beat me to it, my mod hit a roadblock

[covert carbon]

Where do I put the icon for my new item?

[covert carbon]

Keep going I will still be a few hours

[crystal terrace]

also what's up with fire department just casually sitting there jeez

[covert carbon]

if you look closely there is a firefighter zombie "helping" me

[crystal terrace]

sus

[covert carbon]

where do I put the icon for items?

[chrome veldt]

That'd be great, I'm looking for a getter for a world creation date, that might do it, but I can't find any for now

[crystal terrace]

texture folder

icon files names should have a prefix item_

[covert carbon]

this look like the right organization?

[bronze yoke]

isn't the save name the creation date?

[crystal terrace]

apart from models folder, everything seems alright to me

[chrome veldt]

Yes, but i believe you can edit it

[vagrant valley]

The models file name should be Models_X

It still works if you put fbx in it

[crystal terrace]

ah that's good to know

[tawdry solar]

it seems small for a nuke

[covert carbon]

I was testing out the limits of my computer

didnt want to max out its power and crash my game so I went small for testing

[tawdry solar]

ah alright

[covert carbon]

but I do bring good news

you will be able to hurl the W59 thermonuclear warhead like its a football

[tawdry solar]

awesome sauce

[covert carbon]

ran into an issue with the nuke

it can only go so far in range

might be a bit longer than I thought to finish

but I will still fix it

[crystal terrace]

its prolly the same problem im dealing with, you can only work with a limited squares at any time

[covert carbon]

how many

[crystal terrace]

about 90+ from what i looked into

each side

[covert carbon]

my bomb has a max radius of 15 tiles when I detonate it

[bronze yoke]

i think it's ~190x190 total

[crystal terrace]

is getOnlineId safe to work with for MP global moddata

[bronze yoke]

it won't usually be even because it's loaded in chunks and the player won't be in the perfect middle of a chunk

and as i mentioned before it does depend on your resolution and maybe other factors

[crystal terrace]

thats strange, i tried grabbing tiles and my counter stopped at 97 tops

ah

both side

right now this problem is beyond my scope, ill prolly work on this later. Ill have to work with that range as of now.

[covert carbon]

I cannot accept the range I have

I will try and fix it

no nuke of mine will have a radius of 15 tiles

[crystal terrace]

thing is game doesnt load the tiles out of certain range because of performance issues, obviously there might be a way to work with this but i think ill need to dig deeper and learn some new stuff.

[covert carbon]

is there a way to change render distance?

[bronze yoke]

the way to deal with doing stuff to out of range squares is usually to cache the changes and do them when it does load

[crystal terrace]

does it have anything to do with serialization?

this explains why fire never dies if you leave the area, they just save the state of tile and render it from there when you show up next time.

[covert carbon]

Is there a name to this method?

[crystal terrace]

wait, the player id for local player is 0. Wouldnt it be same for everyone?

[bronze yoke]

playernums aren't used for networking

onlineid is used instead

so yeah, everyone's player num is going to be 0 (or 0-3 in splitscreen)

[covert carbon]

Could you give an example please? I do not know where to start with doing that

[bronze yoke]

if your range is stopping at 15 tiles then it probably isn't them being unloaded that's the issue

you can see further than 15 tiles

[crystal terrace]

its possible that ther's a cap on fire tiles maybe just to not hurt the performance?

[warped oriole]

Is there a way to pass a client event to the server? I'm using onCreatePlayer as a trigger to call SendClientCommand, but the game is still seeing it as a client event. Is there a way to pass a client event to the server, or do I have to just use a server-side event?

[bronze yoke]

so the issue is that oncreateplayer will fire for player 1 before client/server commands actually work

for some reason they only work from the second tick onwards, and that fires before the first

[warped oriole]

:(
oh well, thank you! I'll just have to use something else

[covert carbon]

There is one thing I am confused about. When items are defined in their files as "explosives" or "furniture" where is the file that defines what that means?

[normal scroll]

Hello guys, i'm trying to add some animation i made to the game but it won't load, return this error: "Anim set not found" when i try to play. Is there a guide on how to get this done?

[mellow frigate]

It is interpreted in java code.

[crystal terrace]

question about mags, say there's a certain skill i wanna give a character but it can be only unlocked after you read a particular magazine. I looked at vanilla mag recipes, it has a section TeachedRecipes, now do i have to define my so called skill somewhere? or i just give it a random value that i check in my lua script

[mellow frigate]

AnimSets is a directory under media including xml files that refer to the animations (.x or .fbx)

[normal scroll]

my fbx won't work for some reason

[crystal terrace]

so something like grab list of character known recipes and find that value

[bronze yoke]

yeah, that's how herbalist works

[crystal terrace]

ok sweet ill give ti a try real quick

[bronze yoke]

you can use isRecipeKnown() instead of looping

[crystal terrace]

ah, just making sure im not lost with my words. If i say TeachedRecipe: whatever and that whatever is no where defined except ill just check for that value in isRecipeKnown()?

[bronze yoke]

like their traits, the player's known recipes is just a list of strings

[crystal terrace]

that explains it clearly, ty😄

[covert carbon]

Is there a way I could find the java code?

[crystal terrace]

the best you can do is try to decompile those class files or just read em java docs and work with that info and also teh debugger gives you plenty of info

[covert carbon]

How do you decompile class files?

[crystal terrace]

there's tools for that, also a steam guide from Tchernobill as well

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2748451514

[covert carbon]

Thank you

What is decompiling though?

[crystal terrace]

i don't think the check for knownRecipes is working, the string value matches i double checked but the context menu shows up anyway altho i wrote it inside an if block only if the mag has been read it executes

[crystal terrace]

when you compile .java files it's converted into bytecode or your .class files in simpler words. It's something which machines understand and work with much more efficiently than your plain strings.

the reverse of this process is called decompiling

[covert carbon]

So basically they took the Java code and made it unusable for me until i decompile it

[crystal terrace]

well game is not open source, its their work.

even with decomipling you dont get everything, from what i know its just best guesses for the most part that fits the function defintion. The process is not 100% efficeint.

[covert carbon]

Alright well I’ll do that later because it’s 2 am. Goodnight other modders

[empty parrot]

Hi, any ideas on how to get the world name/save name of the world you are playing?
I'm doing a mod and i want to save some configs to a file with the same name as the world name.

[crystal terrace]

for some reasons, im getting true for known recipe even tho i havent touched the mag yet

[bronze yoke]

let's see your code

[bronze yoke]

hmm, doesn't seem like that should happen

[crystal terrace]

its like the function doesnt even care what i pass

maybe i need to restart the save and give it another try

[bronze yoke]

yeah, my guess is you got the recipe already somehow

[crystal terrace]

or my guy is a nerd

[grave fractal]

hello, any reason to why this is happening? the icon size is 120x120

does it need to be a specific size?

alright, thanks!

[crystal terrace]

nah its debug mode, something that comes with game for debugging purposes. Way too powerful.

[pure kiln]

ill google how to enable it

i'm trying to work with a dedicated server here tho : s

[crystal terrace]

from user-experience POV, having an option for something that you dont have atm in context menu(it wont work obv just the option) or displaying that option after you unlock it? thoughts?

[crystal terrace]

open game settings from steam for pz, then it should have something called launch option under general tab, type -debug in it and just launch the game. Haven't tried in MP tho

[pure kiln]

yeah i'll use the mod, it says here it unlocks mod recipes too

because in singleplayer stuff works just fine and dandy

with 3x the amount of mods

but i want flawless error free for good conscience

and understand the errors to ensure everything is going as intended

[mellow frigate]

We need to inform people that those cheat mods are just bugs sources. They should use Vanilla Debug instead of those.

[grave fractal]

if you want to use it in multiplayer you will need admin privileges on the server iirc

you need to do /setaccesslevel [name] admin

Hello guys, anyone got experience with worldsoundmanager? I'm wondering if anyone knows what the 3 integers relate to exactly?

        getSoundManager():PlayWorldSoundImpl(
            "ClearSkyRadio",
            false,
            zoneId.x1,
            zoneId.y1,
            zoneId.z,
            1,
            1,
            1,
            false
        )

I actually can't find what the Booleans are either, I thought one might be related to whether it was a 3d world sound, however both of these set to false still seems to be a 3d world sound

[tawdry solar]

could somone help me

2 of my weapons dont work

the models dont show up

[tawdry solar]

did it fix?

if not i would put item_ infrom of it

liket his

[tranquil kindle]

Other than one to many } at the end i don't see why wouldn't it work, but considering scale= 0.01 maybe it does show but its really small? I tried it once on my first car attempt and it was barely visible, untill i removed scale, or made default scale of 1 in blender.

[tawdry solar]

no that wont work

its the sprite that shows

[tranquil kindle]

Try removing

   {
        Base
    }``` and see if it changes anything? Im not sure why would you even use Module base and then put import Base, but maybe thats something that people do?

[tawdry solar]

i did that with another gun

in the same mod

that works

[neon bronze]

your weaponsprite is wrong, its supposed to be 2000 not 20000

[tawdry solar]

it was showing base game textures

[tawdry solar]

this is the file

[neon bronze]

WeaponSprite is the Model not the texture of the model

Your model is called js2000 not js20000

[tawdry solar]

its not

[neon bronze]

model js2000
{
mesh = weapons/firearm/js20000,
texture = weapons/firearm/js20000,
scale = 0.01,
}
}

thats what you have in that script

[tawdry solar]

i do?

my fault

[neon bronze]

yea

[tawdry solar]

would that be the sawme for my other item

eyah it is

[neon bronze]

whats your other item?

[tawdry solar]

tis the issue

thanks

[neon bronze]

you need to put in the weaponsprite field whats your model is called

[tawdry solar]

ooh

[hollow current]

in onPlayerGetDamage, does damageType "WEAPONHIT" include also damage inflicted by firearms?

[tawdry solar]

shit works now

ty

[pure kiln]

hey guys

[tranquil kindle]

Oh, i didnt notice one to many 0 in JS20000, but you got figured it out.

[pure kiln]

so i noticed different mods are having similar errors

with "Give300MWXP" related stuff

oh nvm im dumb it was always the samemod

[grave fractal]

yeah it did

[tawdry solar]

aight

[tawdry solar]

reasons for massive ass model?

[tacit plover]

you can adjust the scale on blender or on the .txt file

[covert carbon]

how can you edit the tiles around a player or an item?

[crystal terrace]

is the item on next tile to player? or on same tile

[covert carbon]

Its not near the player. However the player does place the item (totally definietely not a thermonuclear warhead)

[crystal terrace]

usually you grab x and y coords of player, then use isocell obj to get isogridsquare(tile) and then you basically target objects on that tile. You can also move on that tile in any direction using IsoGridSquare obj in N,S,E,W,NE,SW etc

[covert carbon]

can you set tiles on fire?

[crystal terrace]

if the IsoGridSquare has a method to set fire which it will most likely have, then yes you can pick tile and set it on fire.

[covert carbon]

kk

[crystal terrace]

altho you might be limited in capacity possible performance reasons i believe, but thats something you have to play with and find a suitable range.

I bring good news, my mod is short a kickass description and maybe a good poster. I might be able to upload it in a couple of hours after a couple of tests i need to run

[crystal terrace]

lf a way to tell if a character has died or not? came accross a bunch fo methods from character class. Any idea which one im looking for?

nvm i think i found what i was looking for

[patent knoll]

WARN : Recipe , 1690505687761> RecipeManager.resolveItemModuleDotType> WARNING: module "SupplyFlaresRecipes" may have forgot to import module Base

I'm getting this error when I try to launch the server with the mod. Anybody run into this before

[neon bronze]

Base,

[patent knoll]

thank you

hmm

neither of my other scripts have the ,

and didn't throw the error

[bronze yoke]

the , isn't necessary

[patent knoll]

I've been looking, the only other place i've found that language was a bracket error, which im not having

it appears making the workshop mod public instead of friends only makes it load without error

I'm not sure why they let you upload with friends only visibility if it won't let you use the mod otherwise

[bronze yoke]

friends only usually causes the mod to fail to download entirely

since the server downloads mods anonymously

for testing i'd recommend unlisted instead

[crystal terrace]

im assuming there's some way to add description to context menu options, prolly its passed along when you're building it?

[bronze yoke]

i think it's just option.tooltip

local tooltip = ISWorldObjectContextMenu.addToolTip()
tooltip:setName(getText(translation, name))
tooltip.description = getText('Tooltip_NeedWrench', getItemNameFromFullType('WaterGoesBad.TapFilter'))
option.tooltip = tooltip

[crystal terrace]

sweet, you're awesome.

OnCharacterDeath event is not working as i was expecting, since on death of player i dont think i get the id of character instead the data is lost on the corpse i believe. And it gives me the character as an instance.

OnPlayerDeath might be worth a try

my goal is to grab the GlobalModData for dead character so that tables don't have garbage values until there's a reset or something. I have stored data using character's username as ID but when the character dies, i dont think the event fires. Tried setting a break point in debugger as well, no luck so far.

[bronze yoke]

if you're doing it on the server i don't think the event fires there

also you should use OnPlayerDeath, OnCharacterDeath will fire for zombies too

[crystal terrace]

ah i was doing on client side, there's not much inside script except grabbing player username and checking if the there's global mod data for my mod and iteratring over it to remove that playerID

nothing too fancy here

sometimes the game is buggy as hell, i switched to new save and it works now i think at least the event is fired.

works perfectly now

the more you work, the more stuff comes to your mind about all sorts of things you could do with your mod. I think ill just one more thing that is tool-tip for context menu and then should be good.

tooltip:setName(getText(translation, name)) these values need to be defined somewhere? or we can send a string as well (translation,name)

[warped condor]

getText(translation, name) is a function that takes translation (string) and name (variable). You can simply put string instead of hole getText function.

Or simply replace translation,name to string.

[bronze yoke]

they were defined elsewhere in my code

[crystal terrace]

oh is it for the translation file for diff languages in shared folder

[bronze yoke]

you should always use getText() and translation strings for anything that's shown to the player

getText() returns the translated string with that name for the current language

multiple arguments can be used for inserting extra stuff into the string if the string is set up for that

[crystal terrace]

even if i dont plan to add translations for now? I should be able to do that down the road.

[bronze yoke]

even if you only have english it'll let other modders translate it

[crystal terrace]

ah

think i found the source file

[crystal terrace]

of the van?

looks cool

honestly you can just make textures dont need to dive too much into models early on

sounds great, i dont know too much about 3-D modeling but i think i might be able to work with textures in near future.

can i reupload preview/poster images? does it be correct in one go?

[bronze yoke]

you can, though annoyingly you have to reupload the mod to change the preview

[crystal terrace]

ah, i can keep the poster img inside my mod folder. i think i only need to make sure the preveiw is 256x256 which will be outisde of that folder.

[bronze yoke]

yeah, it won't let you upload if it's wrong anyway

[crystal terrace]

workshop/modName/Contents/mods/modName/EveryingElseInsideMod is this the correct structure?

i think ill need to add two more files in Contents one being workshop.txt and preview

[bronze yoke]

that's right

[crystal terrace]

sweet, thanks.

should i keep visibility something else for testing stuff atm?

someone mentioned "friends" didnt work i believe

right, unlisted it is.

[bronze yoke]

yeah, private and friends don't work well

[crystal terrace]

after the upload, is it safe to remove the folder from workshop? or need to keep it there

[bronze yoke]

you can, but then you won't be able to update it

[crystal terrace]

i wanted to test from steam but after i sub to the mod, the location i see is from workshop.

is it because of being "unlisted"?

[bronze yoke]

oh then you can just move it away yeah

[crystal terrace]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011333569 @covert carbon it's up, btw thanks so much @bronze yoke you been a great help😄 .

[covert carbon]

I will try it out soon

nice thumbnail for it

[crystal terrace]

ty ty, i initially went without the containers but figured it adds more info to what tis about

i think i deserve a coffee break now, i havent tested it on MP yet. Is there a way to do it, altho i dont think it should create any problems.

[pearl prism]

other lights works fine?

show me the image of the texture of lights

lol

the names are diferents

Check if the names match

test it, lets see if it works

🤔

[crystal terrace]

great start, i already found something . I can see the values are nil in debugger but does the execution stops here. Edit: fixed it btw, put em both into bracket.

[pearl prism]

the mask are the Filibuster originals ones?

can you print it like you did with the other one?

[empty parrot]

hi everyone, i'm trying to update the loot midgame using:
getSandboxOptions():set("FoodLoot", 1);
but it seems it doesn't work...
it works with other sandboxOptions, but not with this, any idea why?

thanks!!

[crystal terrace]

a word of advice if you're new to uploading mods to workshop, keep a copy of description that you edited on steam mod page. It's a pain to update it again. Honestly even the guide interface is much better on steam from workshop.

[mellow frigate]

I edit it with Notepad ++ never with the integrated gui.

[crystal terrace]

ah thats good tip

[crystal terrace]

arent these numbers supposed to be odds to roll your item from 0-1? or is it max items that can be present in world?

[bronze yoke]

0-100, roughly

sandbox settings, zombie population affects it

default sandbox settings are like x0.4 iirc

[crystal terrace]

no wonder i was able to find only one copy on max loot settings in two libraries

id like to keep it as rare as generator mag, what numbers to go for? i couldnt find genny mag in the lua files.

[mellow frigate]

Beware modders, I noticed an increase of "friends" invites from Zomboid players. Half of them with VAC ban on record. The few invites that looked legit and I accepted at first lead to no discussion. I had no bad consequence yet but find it suspicious and suggest you reject non-motivated friend requests.

[crystal terrace]

i think ill keep 10 for now, found like 3 on apoc loot settings that too when i checked 3 libraries. Seems reasonable for now.

[grave fractal]

what is useDelta for things like gas cans?

[crystal terrace]

wym by that?

[grave fractal]

in scripts/item.txt i was looking for gas can cause i wanted to make a mod which adds 2 other gas cans and stumbled onto this:

so i wondered what it meant

[bronze yoke]

number of uses = 1 / UseDelta

[grave fractal]

ahhh now i understand

thanks

[sinful scaffold]

Wait, so the item spawn chances are percentages, right?
.items, 7);
Means 7%
right?

[bronze yoke]

sort of

the final chance is scaled by your loot settings, and the default loot settings aren't 100%

iirc they're 60%

it's also increased by the zombie density in the area, and probably some other factors

[sinful scaffold]

So, while not a straight percentage, it's kind of a percentage?

[bronze yoke]

yeah, it's just a bit more dynamic

most people probably play on default loot settings so i would consider the final chance to be roughly 60% of the number you actually put

[sinful scaffold]

Thank you

[dark wedge]

FINALLY. I got hit reactions syncing in multiplayer for Brutal Handwork. Now I have the bulk of the attack stack all rewritten in Lua and working. 🙂

[sage eagle]

how do i add images onto maps

like if i wanted a custom hand image that the player can see in game

[trim mist]

you mean you got the server to sync with the client? For hit reactions?

[dark wedge]

No, the server doesn't process any of that information. On hit the attacker sends a command to the sever with the zombie's ID (and some other stuff), and this is then relayed to all players. I build a cache periodically of all zombies in your current cell and organize it by ID so I can just get the zombie's reference by the ID received. I then just call the java hit reaction function, as I don't have access to the "FallDown" state (but I do to all the others. blech).

I tried this technique before, but I guess I did something wrong as I rewrote it and its g2g. ha

[heady crystal]

Would anyone be so kind as to point me towards a tutorial on how to make custom outfits?

[grave fractal]

you mean armor and that stuff?

[heady crystal]

No like literally a zombie outfit

The definitions and stuff

My small brain can't understand it

I've added a custom outfit to the definitions, made the random xml file with a guid that I... think works? But still no dice.
So I am missing something, but I can't find any guides or tutorials out there.

[crystal terrace]

There's one on TIS forum no?

[tawdry solar]

congrats

[crystal terrace]

@tawdry solar you should totally start a gas 2 go franchise in pz👀

[tawdry solar]

bud

i have some news for you

its already a franchise

i had an old project for a map

but gave up

[crystal terrace]

I mean make more stuff around it

[tawdry solar]

oh ryt

maybe

after im done with my other stuff

[crystal terrace]

Clothing, toys etc

[tawdry solar]

yeah

[crystal terrace]

how do i handle versioning my mod on steam? through workshop.txt or just description?

[bronze yoke]

wdym? if you want a version number then yeah, just put it in the description

personally i put mine in the change notes and the mod.info (as modmanager will display it)

[crystal terrace]

ig i could do that, also for any sort of update i would need to reupload the mod in workshop i assume.

[bronze yoke]

yup

[crystal terrace]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Testing_Mods_in_Multiplayer

has anyone worked with this? seems like this guide might be missing some info

connection fails, is what i get mostly.

nvm, might have missed a couple of steps👀

i have my mod in Users/user/Zomboid/mods and followed the steps launch server also making sure to use nosteam flag that allows to disable workshop folder. But not sure why i get this.

[grave fractal]

can you add normal textures to models in this game? so far whenever i looked at mods i only saw a regular texture

[bronze yoke]

nope

[grave fractal]

bummer

[opaque fiber]

animzed when?

[crystal terrace]

What's that

[gilded hawk]

What the "Refill container" Context menu option exactly does?

[rancid wraith]

anyone familiar with the player inventory container object? just started playing around with lua and modding, but i'm finding it difficult to find resources about it sometimes.

[crystal terrace]

ItemContainer? What about it

[warped condor]

Who did it with the translation why it doesn't follow the same pattern? half of this, half of that, it's disgusting.

    ContextMenu_Wooden_Wall_Frame = "Wooden Wall Frame",
    ContextMenu_MetalWallFrame = "Metal Wall Frame",

[warped condor]

Same for this type of translation, why the name in there is different than object name ingame.

ContextMenu_BigWiredFence

if I need to translate lets say 30 objects, I would need to add extra layers to the code for those objects.

[opaque fiber]

it was supposed to be a tool shipped with build 41, allowing players to create custom animations and new clothing items easily

but last i've heard of it was in a thursdoid well before the stable launch

if any devs are on, could you reveal what happened to it? i don't mind that it's not out, but i'd still like to understand what stopped it from being released

[crystal terrace]

might be on the shelf now

everyone just cares about B42 now

[crystal terrace]

player MP all by myself xd(just testing stuff)

if im running two clients on same system, doing getSpecificPlayer(0) would give me same players?

well actually one is server

[bronze yoke]

no, get specific player only grabs local players

as in from the client calling the function

[crystal terrace]

that's strange, testing stuff on my mod. Sever side stuff looks cool but the client side there's context menu, there's function call and what not just nothing updates in global mod data at the end

[crystal terrace]

didnt think too much of MP with regards to mod, its seems like whole another ball game.

need some help with testing mod on MP, im not sure if firing both client and server from machine could be the problem or if its same behaviour regardless. If anyone is willing to help lmk, you'd need to launch a server for a couple of mins add my mod to it and ill test some stuff.

actually ill host the server, id just like to see if other player can use my mods functionality as well.

[bronze yoke]

i've never noticed any behaviour differences between dedicated and in-game hosted

[gilded hawk]

How can i mod a vehicle to increase it's ability to tow? I got asked to improve vehicles towing. And I'm wondering if it's possible doing it via lua

I assume I need to increase the torque right?

[crystal terrace]

ye ig, for ex you can compare the values across best towing vehicles in-game and simulate that behaviour a couple of folds, given its possible.

I think ambulance and fire trucks are best ones at this job

[crystal terrace]

oh ill give it a couple of tries then.

can server admins see global mod data for everyone?

because the mod works but i dont see entry for the client as a server admin

[bronze yoke]

are you transmitting the data?

[crystal terrace]

ah nope not to server

[neon bronze]

:transmitModData()

[crystal terrace]

but this is only for squares and objects tho, im working with GlobalModData

ah it also has a transmit method

it requies a string val tho, i think it might be the UUID ?

i should trigger transmit mod data at every update in globalmoddata right?

[drifting ore]

Bro, someone PLEASE make a modd that adds BMW M3 GTR from NFS most wanted 2006

😭

https://tenor.com/view/need-for-speed-most-wanted-need-for-speed-most-wanted-nfs-gif-17325118

i might even try to reach kI5

[limpid grail]

is there anyone who could make a mod that adds an angle grinder to the game so you can turn regular drums into rain collector drums because if you think about it, if you grind off the top part off a drum, you're left with a drum that can collect rain water

[fickle knot]

Hi. What is correct line to add several atatchment type?
AttachmentType = Bottle,Walkie,

[rancid wraith]

Well to be more specific, I'm wondering if there's any good documentation or references for manipulating container tables

[crystal terrace]

checkout methods for ItemContainer on java docs

[crystal terrace]

https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/inventory/ItemContainer.html

[rancid wraith]

good stuff, thanks

[crystal terrace]

i have made some changes regarding sending global mod data but it still not working, this is how i call this method inside each block which tweaked globalModData

this is my client side event, found this script in discord chats

[crystal terrace]

found some more stuff, i have to check if its client or server before transmitting data? Shouldnt both parties transmit

so it can be synced across all clients and server

[patent knoll]

Anybody have experience adding zombies spawn on item use in an area surrounding player?

[long grove]

can someone make a trait mod that puts you in a wheelchair for like +20 points?
like in termina, cant go up stairs without crawling, if your arms are injured you go slower, certain attacks can knock you out of your wheelchair

[bronze sand]

I am curious about something

Is it possible to increase the chances to forage a specific list of items by holding a specific thing on as Secondary or Primary?

[warped condor]

I didn't test it, but you have something like this

function ISSearchManager:updateModifiers()
    local character            = self.character;
    --
    self.perkLevel            = self.character:getPerkLevel(Perks.PlantScavenging);
    self.square                = self.character:getCurrentSquare();
    --
    self.modifiers = {
        aimBonus            = math.max(forageSystem.getAimVisionBonus(character) * self.aimMulti, 1),
        sneakBonus            = math.max(forageSystem.getSneakVisionBonus(character) * self.sneakMulti, 1),
        traitBonus            = forageSystem.getTraitVisionBonus(character),
        professionBonus        = forageSystem.getProfessionVisionBonus(character),
        panicPenalty        = forageSystem.getPanicPenalty(character),
        bodyPenalty            = forageSystem.getBodyPenalty(character),
        exhaustionPenalty    = forageSystem.getExhaustionPenalty(character),
        clothingPenalty        = forageSystem.getClothingPenalty(character),
        weatherPenalty        = forageSystem.getWeatherPenalty(character, self.square),
        movementPenalty        = forageSystem.getMovementVisionPenalty(character),
        lightPenalty        = forageSystem.getLightLevelPenalty(character, self.square, true),
    };
end

So I assume you can adjust/modify bonuses.

checking if the player wear item could be done with OnPlayerUpdate event*

[bronze yoke]

or just use the events to see when the player changes items

[warped condor]

Also you have global table forageSystem in .\media\lua\shared\Foraging\forageSystem.lua line 48.

[elfin stump]

Anyone ever messed with the ZombiePopulationRenderer? I would like to use the renderCircle function to render a circle on in-game debug ZombiePopulationRenderer but I am have trouble getting it to work. I am unsure how to call a reference to the renderer in game. I have tried getting the rendered like this zpw = ZombiePopulationRenderer() but that throws and error, and I have also tried this zpopNewRenderer(), which lets me call renderCircle on that withour an error, but also without anything rendering. I am suspecting that "zpopNewRenderer()" isn't getting me the same object that I am looking at, but I am not certain.

[bronze yoke]

that sounds like it creates a new one, if you want to change the one the debug menu is using you need to grab it from there

[elfin stump]

k that is what I was thinking and that it isn't being displayed cause its a new one that is just in memory or something. Right now I am trying to extend ZombiePopulationWindow.lua with my function to then call and add the circle, but I am not quite sure how to get the reference to the actual debug window in game from a script that is being called by an event. I do feel like I am getting closer to it tho.

[balmy swan]

Heya folks. I got a few questions in regards to item distributions.
Is there any sort of reference doc for distribution locations or procedural spawns? I'm having trouble finding one.

Also, how would I go about having an item spawn on a zombie?

[elfin stump]

`..Contents\mods\YOURMOD\media\lua\server\Items\YOURDISTRIBUTIONFILE.lua

require "Items/SuburbsDistributions"
require "Items/ProceduralDistributions"
--I think you need procedural for zombies but not positive

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "SomeItemHere")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, chanceForItem)

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "SomeItemHere")
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, chanceForItem)
--Chance for item is not a 1 out of 100 chance but is something else that I forget, I think it is the amount of rolls or something like that.`

You can go into debug mode and turn on LootZed to review the chances by looking at dead bodies with the LootZed utility.

That example shows male and female adding to zombies via the built in loot distribution system, there is a lot you can do with it, but you will probably want to start by looking at other mods that spawn a lot of items and checking that directory to review them

There are a few different ways to spawn loot, and a few different ways to declare it in the existing system

[bronze yoke]

you don't 'need' to require anything, requiring vanilla files doesn't do anything

[balmy swan]

Thank you! I had already figured out the way to add items to containers through the table.insert method, I just couldn't figure out the way to implement it on zombies, which was the infentorymale/inventoryfemale part.

Do you not need to add the require part? I've seen that on pretty much every mod that I've checked out so far.

[bronze yoke]

if you're not storing the return value in a variable, all requiring does is ensure a file runs before yours - and vanilla always runs before mods

[elfin stump]

I've only done it from an old recommendation from way back but what albion is saying sounds right. I think we were doing it to make sure that it loaded after sandbox variables were loaded or something like that, but I would go with what albion is saying unless you have any issues.

[balmy swan]

Huh... That makes perfect sense, actually.
Tested it out without the requires, seems to work perfectly!

[elfin stump]

Good idea to add at the end of your distribute the line "ItemPickerJava.Parse()" if you are using sandbox variables too, sometimes you can end up in cases where distribution files do not update from what is in the sandbox, that line should fix it if you get that condition - I am pretty sure that is the only line you need to correct that

[balmy swan]

Not using that at the moment, but that's a good idea. I may want to implement that eventually 😄

[crystal terrace]

trying to understand client-server stuff with regards to modData, i wrote a small script which increases count. One specifically increments count if its a server other one does it regardless. Thing is even tho im hosting atm, isServer() returns false.

[bronze yoke]

the server and the client are still completely separate even when hosting in-game

it basically just runs a dedicated server in the background

[crystal terrace]

so it only works if the script is in server folder then ? is that what you mean or id have to host a server somewhere?

[bronze yoke]

isServer() is returning false because you're running it on the host client

if you check coop-console.txt the prints shouldn't show up in there since that's the server log

[crystal terrace]

where can i find coop-console.txt, is it in pz folders?

[bronze yoke]

it'd be in user/Zomboid

[crystal terrace]

great resource to explain everything around client-server stuff

[bronze yoke]

just to correct a couple things here, while the server and shared folders are just organisational, the client folder is actually client-only, and for most object types you *can* rely on transmitModData

[crystal terrace]

ah client is for only client side and rest is just which files are loaded first. So dont need to look into server/client side commands just to sync moddata. transmitModData should be enough to sync?

[bronze yoke]

transmitModData doesn't function on player objects

[crystal terrace]

i read somewhere, objects has to be in player inventory for this to work? sorry i meant transmit should be enought o sync globalmoddata?

[bronze yoke]

for globalmoddata i don't tend to work with those methods so i don't know

for all my uses i've been able to keep all the global moddata on one end

[crystal terrace]

got it, thanks anyway. if it doesnt work i might look into server/client commands. I honestly dont know if i need to sync the global data, but this is just testing stuff moslty to see if anything im missing.

[bronze yoke]

yeah, usually i have the global mod data server side and use client commands when the client needs to do something

but just syncing the mod data is a much better idea if you actually need to use the mod data on the client side

[crystal terrace]

that's one way to do it, i think that would work for my use case.
