[buoyant fjord]

they can be busted down though right?

damn, idk how to detect then

[ebon lion]

I've a question, in regards to an idea for a mod that might be relatively simple, or might be impossible, depending on how accessible a certain aspect of the game is without touching the actual code.
Does anyone know if the .lua-s handle in any way the incoming and outgoing messages and/or VOIP in the radio system? I feel like it could reasonably be content that's hardcoded and unmoddable, but it would be really neat if there was a way to play around with it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on whether the moddable envoiriment handles sending and receiving radio transmissions, and if yes, where to begin looking?

EDIT: (For added context, while I don't want to wall of text the channel with the full reasoning, I'd like to try and create a version of Radios that allow you to listen to multiple (fixed, probably only 2) frequencies at the same time, and on top of that, allows you to rebroadcast what you receive on one frequency to another. Think of someone running a radio station on an RP server, and having a separate frequency where people can 'call in', and the host can go: "Caller, you're on the air". Or, alternatively, players could set up their own mobile carrier for lower powered walkie talkies, where anyone with two walkies can talk to people across the map, because powerful radios in key places upcycle the talking frequency to the listening frequency and rebroadcast it for greater distance.)

[vapid quest]

i made this

    print("option is working")
end

local function CustomContextMenuOption(player, context, items)
    context:addOption("Custom Option", player, contextMenuDoOnClick)
end

Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(CustomContextMenuOption)```

[true nova]

and that adds to the context menu Custom Option? and prints option is working? thats great its a good start

[vapid quest]

yes, you can try it if you want

[true nova]

thanks man just made my life a bit easier

[vapid quest]

[true nova]

i wouldn't have a problem figuring things out if the devs just added some comments in their code! or if there was some documentation of how things work anywhere

[weak sierra]

VOIP is entirely hardcoded in java, text chat is all in one lua file

VOIP is also very broken atm at long distances

see here: https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1045207010435670137

and a bunch of other threads on here since

i tried to even javamod it back server-side, seems it'd require client mods too or else we missed the mark

TIS says it was a security measure but it didn't make a lot of sense to me

side effect of preventing people from getting others' location via lua cheats

but most cheats are java or external so meh

also changed getOnlinePlayers breaking a bunch of mods that needed it

[ebon lion]

Alright thanks, it's a little disappointing that I can't mod it in personally, but hopefully one of the devs sees and likes the idea enough to eventually implement it on their side.

[weak sierra]

now that said, VOIP already has frequencies

on the radios

if they worked, that is

so you could already have that sort of system

[ebon lion]

Hm... Alright, then I'll have a more in-depth look over the files later, see what's accessible. Thanks again.
If you happen to know which file handles incoming and/or outgoing messages, I would appreciate it, as on the first check, the system seemed pretty byzantine

[vagrant valley]

Hello

I have an issue with my lua script

Specifically an OnCreate script

I checked everything and fixed problems but items still wouldnt spawn in my inventory

I even took code from another mod and it doesnt work for some strange reason

[true nova]

post the lua

[covert carbon]

It would help if you showed the lua, but I will say that the OnCreate script doesn't create items but rather is a function that is triggered upon an item being spawned

[vagrant valley]

 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.GoldScrap", zombrand(3));   
 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.CopperScrap", zombrand(5));   
 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.SilverScrap", zombrand(3));   
 player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PalladiumScrap", zombrand(2);
    player:getInventory():addItem("Base.PlatinumScrap", zombrand(2)); 
   player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.MetalSlag", zombrand(2));
end```

Wow that looks terrible

There we go

The formatting isnt like that but that should be enough

[ebon lion]

First glance, you have an addItem mixed in with AddItems.
I'm no expert at Zomboid, but the game might disregard the file at start up due to the syntax error

[bronze yoke]

also zombrand should be ZombRand

[vagrant valley]

Alright

Let me see

Still doesnt work

There's something about getScriptItem() in the logs

@bronze yoke @ebon lion

[uneven raptor]

where can i find the project zomboid installed mods list

in my local game files

[true nova]

what does your recipe script look like?

[vagrant valley]

Category:Electrical, AllowOnlyOne: false, Base.Electronics Scrap,
Time: 60,
OnCreate:ScrapElectronicRummage_OnCreate,
OnGiveXP: Recipe.OnGiveXP.ScrapElectronicRummage, Result:Base.ElectronicScrap, }```

Wait

That's another versio

    Category:Electrical,
    AllowOnlyOne:false,
    Base.ElectronicsScrap,
    Time:60,
    OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.ScrapElectronicRummage,
    OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.ScrapElectronicRummage,
    Result:Base.ElectronicScrap,
    }

there we go

[true nova]

C:Users\yourusername\Zomboid\Saves its in a txt file called mods atleast thats where your singleplayer ones are

[true nova]

i dont think you need the Base. infront of electronics scrap

[vagrant valley]

It does work with base but i guess that's redudant

[true nova]

i dont really see anything wrong though

is your module named base?

[vagrant valley]

Yes

Do i need a different module for it to work?

[true nova]

and your custom items in your lua is contained in it?

[vagrant valley]

Yes

It's the item scripts in a separate file

[true nova]

i would name it something else, it shouldn't affect anything but it is best practice. i doubt that would fix it but if you rename it then it would be "yourmodulename"."itemname" when called in the lua. also is your lua file placed in the proper folders?

[vagrant valley]

Its in lua/server yes

[true nova]

and you're using this on a server?

something like this should go in shared or client

[bronze yoke]

recipe code should be in server

[vagrant valley]

The recipe code is in server

[bronze yoke]

the recipe tables will not exist before server runs

[vagrant valley]

even for the vanilla game recipes

So do i have to put it in shared?

every mod seems to put it in server

[bronze yoke]

no, keep it in server, it will break in shared

[true nova]

ah well im wrong lol

[vagrant valley]

Right

The mystery continues

I think i should get the full error messages

[true nova]

yeah id check your log and if it is a lua problem it will give you the line

thats weird though when deciding what file to put things in i couldnt find much on exactly where to put it so i put recipes in shared and the 2 mods i have worked fine in server... i should change that shouldnt i?

[vagrant valley]

Oh my god

i missed goddamn closing bracket

'holy shit

Also my keyboard is kinda broken right now

so dont mind the spelling

[true nova]

atleast you fixed it! despite my questionable help! gj

[vagrant valley]

I think it's still broken

For some reason it still wont work despite fixing that issue

[covert carbon]

pulling all nighter to finish mod

[true nova]

is it giving errors?

[vagrant valley]

Nevermind

[covert carbon]

You are putting your recipe on a text file, yes?

[vagrant valley]

there was another error

but the game didnt read the updated script unless i restart completely

se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaException: recipecode.lua:32: function arguments expected near `:` at LexState.lexerror line:278.

I guess i used the wrong function

Here's the code

    player:getXp:AddXP(Perks.MetalWelding, 0.1);
    player:getXp:AddXP(Perks.Electrical, 0.2);
end```

[covert carbon]

have you defined "player" ?

[bronze yoke]

getXp() not getXp

[vagrant valley]

does it enclose the addxp

or is it just getXp():

[true nova]

just getXp()

[vagrant valley]

Alright

It's not spitting anymore lua issues

But it still doesnt work

It's just java errors now

Callframe at: PerformMakeItem function: perform -- file: ISCraftAction.lua line # 58 | Vanilla

[bronze yoke]

sounds like an item required by the recipe is null

[vagrant valley]

Is it on the lua side or the script side

[bronze yoke]

it's happening in the java, so it's hard to say - more likely to be script i'd say

function: perform -- file: ISCraftAction.lua line # 58 | Vanilla i'd look at what function this line calls, since that's the one that leads to this error

[vagrant valley]

Dont know where to look for that

Okay i found it

It's this

local resultItemCreated = RecipeManager.PerformMakeItem(self.recipe, self.item, self.character, self.containers);

[covert carbon]

does the isOutside() class work for player built structures?

Just tested, yes it does

[jolly goblet]

How can I load elements dynamically?
I want to load elements on the map in the parts that are far from the character.

[smoky vine]

on "rare" loot settings i'm still getting about 12 backpacks per school when i set the chance to 0.01, doesn't seem like it's working like i think it does?

there are 5 total backpacks with this code

[tulip cipher]

how do i increase the zombie spawn rate past 4?

[queen kraken]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[tulip cipher]

Yeah 100% try looking at something simple though

[covert carbon]

Just looking at mods wont teach you all but it 100% helps, it helped me a lot

[magic halo]

Hello, is there any way to change the weight of items in the game by lua script, instead of having to do it manually in the item script?

I've already tried item:setWeight(), but it doesn't work, it's the only attribute I can't change. I'm trying to change the weights of a bag of food, it's a food type item.

[crystal terrace]

Have you looked at the item class? Don't think there's a way to set weight like that

[magic halo]

I looked if the class has some method to set the weight, but it seems that there is no way. At least I haven't found any way

[tulip cipher]

    local trueItem = getScriptManager():getItem(itemName)
        trueItem:setActualWeight(trueItem:getActualWeight() * multiplier)
    end

then all you do is pass it v and an array

for example

        weightApplication(v, woodWeightMultiplier)
    end```

[magic halo]

That worked!

local function scriptInit_setWeight(itemName, itemWeight, multiplier)
    local item = getScriptManager():getItem(itemName)
    item:setActualWeight(itemWeight * multiplier)
end

for itemName, itemWeight in pairs(objList) do
    scriptInit_setWeight(itemName, itemWeight, 10)
end

Thanks @tulip cipher

[sour island]

Anyone experience a weird bug where added context menus to the world somehow breaks that square for context menu? no errors to work with

Nvm, I think I solved it last night and forgot to test - some UI was invisible but ontop of the area

odd

[cinder oyster]

is there something i can use so that when I wanna reload my mod i dont have to launch pz again? I saw that there was something like that but the page for it got removed

[sour island]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2909488957
This uses AUD's lua reloader. But you have to be mindful of what you're loading cause it can jam up your code and you need to restart anyway.

Anyone know if PZ has anything for pack()? 😦
I know unpack() is used instead of table.unpack().

[cinder oyster]

I dont know but if unpack is used then i think it would be

vehicle modding question

what do I do if my car does not have wheels.

the vehicle im making wont have wheels so im at a loss

[sour island]

What is the vehicle?

[cinder oyster]

it is a jetpacki

so

[sour island]

idk if you need to make that a baseVehicle

[cinder oyster]

I was thinking of maybe using the superhuman genes as a template but I dont know how id get it so it would need gas

Im really new so I am at a complete loss for even where to start

actually nvm

this is insane

i gotta pick something a little easier to do for my first vehicle mod

[keen silo]

Hey, does anybody know how to change the player and zombie models bone local xy scale in game? (to make them look fatter or thinner)

[crude vine]

Hello, Representative of Last Light here. I'm looking to hire a mod developer to code us a smart Type Indicator. By smart I mean less prone to desync and is optimal for server resources. We will pay for full ownership if the price is reasonable. I Apologise if this is not the place for such a request.

[sour island]

Could you clarify what you mean by type indicator?

[crude vine]

We're a roleplay server and we have an issue where people doesn't know if the other is typing to reply or not. So when someone is typing in the chatbox, we'd like for there to be some kind of indication to show that they are typing.

We have a roleplay chatbox mod that it needs to function with.

[neon bronze]

there is that chat bubble mod for mp

[crude vine]

That mod unfortunately doesn't function well for us. As far as I know with the way its designed it costs too much resources

Which is why every large roleplay server has their own indicators tailored to them, we used to have our own but stuff happened, so we're in need of a new one

[raw wadi]

Does poly count for a model matter in PZ? I know everything is relatively lowpoly but is there a limit?

Just wondering if my model isn't loading due to it being too "high" poly around 3k tris

[bronze yoke]

there's no hard limit

[raw wadi]

Cool, thank you

[undone crag]

helo can u play doom in zomboid?

[keen silo]

Is there a way to modify the MaleBody.X shape to make it look fatter?
I can import the file to Blender, but can't export as an .X file?
(even if it works just naked)

[smoky vine]

yo can you use a GIF as the poster for your mod?

or doesn't it work

[crystal terrace]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3013991606 maybe this?

[smoky vine]

ah nice tyty

[lean reef]

Sorry if it's a bit of a weird question, just new and trying to get a grip on recipe scripting, but when you use the "Empty Frying Pan" recipe how does it give you a pan with the same condition that it had been in before you started cooking
Just using the one for emptying pan fried vegetables:

recipe Empty Frying Pan
    {
       destroy PanFriedVegetables,

       Result:Pan,
       OnGiveXP:Recipe.OnGiveXP.None,
       Time:40.0,
       Category:Cooking,
       Sound:EmptyPan,
       AllowRottenItem:true,
    }

I think I'm just not understanding the destroy function, but shouldn't this just destroy the original pan and give you a new undamaged pan?

[keen silo]

does anybody know how to edit a players animations?

[crystal terrace]

yep seems like it, will give you a new instance of pan

[lean reef]

Which is strange, because it doesn't! Trying to figure out how it knows to give you a damaged one

[crystal terrace]

does it, that's interesting

[lean reef]

I originally thought it'd be something similar to the battery code in luaexamples, but this recipe doesn't call any lua functions, unless im missing something

Just trying to figure out how this works in the base game because I want to understand the base game recipes to start writing my own but I just can't seem to get a grip on this one specifically

[covert carbon]

I DID IT

@crystal terrace My mod is complete and posted

[crystal terrace]

share the link here as well

[covert carbon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030241502

[crystal terrace]

maybe break the window of car as well while being shot inside the car, could choose a random window for the future updates.

[covert carbon]

I actually planned on doing that but I had just wanted to release the base mod for now and add a lot more details later

I pulled an all nighter so I just wanted it finished

[crystal terrace]

Yea i feel you, sometimes finishing a project is really important. It's always Work in progress anyway.

I realized something today, if you leave space between name and modname in your mod.info file. It just says unnamed mod on mod selection menu.

[keen silo]

@bronze yoke Do you know anybody with experience modeling (Players/Zombies specifically)

?

Im trying to make the naked player character fat, but can't get it

[crystal terrace]

Have you tried #modeling , a lot of folks work with that stuff there.

[bronze yoke]

nope

[keen silo]

tried to, but got no reply

[crystal terrace]

gotta try again, that's your best shot. Try searching in chat using #modeling to limit search to particular channel. I often do that to find matching keywords and then you sometimes find interesting conversations on the same topic.

[crystal terrace]

is there a way to validate an item by name? for ex before adding an item Base.Needle i'd like to verify if it exists or something like try and catch in lua to atleast not throw errors

[cobalt fiber]

Hehehe
https://i.imgur.com/K0wrFEP.mp4

It's a bit hard to see, but I think it's understandable

[crystal terrace]

you got it working? cant tell

[cobalt fiber]

Checking nil before spawning the item maybe?

[cobalt fiber]

Yeah yeah, the infopanel is very small

but if you open on the browser you will be able to see

[crystal terrace]

so somehow it goes back to focus power settings

[cobalt fiber]

It saves what generator you select to focus

when that on it's disabled somehow, reset to split

if it got turned on again, it got the focus again

[crystal terrace]

you think its the game files messing it up?

[cobalt fiber]

no, no, that's a feature actually

because if the fuel empties out, and you fill it up again, you don't need to set it to focus again

there's two modes basically, Split and Focus

Split share the power consumption between all generators

Focus takes the total power of all of them and focus on one generator

the others consume 0 L/h

[crystal terrace]

ah

[cobalt fiber]

is that way to ease filling up with fuel on a very big base

[crystal terrace]

makes sense, you dont want to run again and again to set things up

[tulip cipher]

Validate?

[crystal terrace]

im thinking if someone were to typo and say goes with Base.Noodle right, then i'd like to handle that error or atleast avoid pulling this item.

[tulip cipher]

Run it against a table of all base items, if it matches set a boolean to true,

Then use the boolean false as a "ERROR: no item detected"

[crystal terrace]

ye just found teh script manager, might be able to pull the item list

[tulip cipher]

:D

[crystal terrace]

ty😄

[tulip cipher]

You've given me far better advice, trying to repay my debt XD

[bronze yoke]

if ScriptManager.instance:getItem("Base.Needle") returns nil, the item doesn't exist

[vapid quest]

how can i get all sounds from directory? my directory for sounds: media/sound/MySounds

[crystal terrace]

ye i went with this one instead of pulling the list and checking every item, this is much better.

[vapid quest]

local sounds = {}

local function getRandomSoundFromDirectory()
    local soundList = getFileList(soundsDirectory)
    for i, sound in ipairs(soundList) do
        if string.endswith(sound, ".ogg") or string.endswith(sound, ".wav") then
            table.insert(sounds, sound)
        end
    end
end```
i think this should work

[vapid quest]

so i have error in 1 line:
local soundsDirectory = media/sound/MySounds

[vapid quest]

i fixed this but have a new problem in this line:
print("sound:" .. randSound)

randSound:

 local randSound = sounds[randIndex]```

[crystal terrace]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030571779 i feel like modders could use this one more often, personally hated to add items each time through itemList. Hopefully this one's useful.

[vapid quest]

can anyone help pls? i have 2 errors

1 error:

    error -> local soundList = getFileList(soundsDirectory)
    
    -- Get sounds in directory
    for i, sound in ipairs(soundList) do

        -- Check for sound file extension
        if string.endswith(sound, ".ogg") or string.endswith(sound, ".wav") then
            table.insert(sounds, sound)
        end

    end

end```

2 error:
`getRandomSoundFromDirectory()`

[vapid quest]

the second error is in another function that is calling every ten minutes

[bronze yoke]

is getFileList a function you wrote? if not, the error is that that function does not exist

[vagrant valley]

I still have no idea what broke my oncreate script

[vapid quest]

no its not my function, but what i should to use instead to get all files in directory?

[bronze yoke]

i don't think it's possible

it's something i was interested in before and i couldn't see a way to do it

it was for something completely custom so i just made it so a filelist.txt had to be included that would point to all the files but that won't work for most usages

[vapid quest]

is there any way to get all sounds in my mod?

[fathom barn]

wdym

[vapid quest]

i have folder for sounds in mod but how to get their path or load them

[fathom barn]

create a script

You can add as many as you want

got it?

[vapid quest]

yes, but how to define them in lua code??

[fathom barn]

you mean how to do the script that you showed in lua?

i mean it already works in lua

[vapid quest]

i mean how to use it in lua

[fathom barn]

just the same way it is

my "sound" mod path looks like this

[vapid quest]

i mean how to play them

[fathom barn]

module Base
{
sound EnterSoundScriptHere1
{
category = Zombie,
clip
{
file = media/sound/yoursound1.wav,
}
}
sound EnterSoundScriptHere2
{
category = Zombie,
clip
{
file = media/sound/yoursound2.wav,
}
}
}

[fathom barn]

oh

i think i know what you are talking about

C:\Users\Your-Pc\Zomboid\Workshop

[vapid quest]

?

[fathom barn]

build your mod there

after that, enable it in-game.

[vapid quest]

nooo, how to play sound

[fathom barn]

How to play sound in Project Zomboid?

or in general

[vapid quest]

wait a minute

[fathom barn]

and what sound it is

can you send me the file you're working on

send it as a zip or something

[vapid quest]

i have to write just like local sound = and what in there, path or it name or what???

[fathom barn]

sound scripts

D:\steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid\media\scripts

[vapid quest]

i don't get it, i have client side lua, where i receiving command from server and then play sound but how i have to define this sounds?

[fathom barn]

audio.loadSound( "yoursound.wav" )

[vapid quest]

thanks a lot

[fathom barn]

does this work

[vapid quest]

that what i meant

[vapid quest]

i'll check it

[fathom barn]

try this if it don't work Sound:Load("media/sound/yoursound1.wav")

[vapid quest]

and 1 more question

if i have mp 3 sound it will play?

or only ogg and wav

[fathom barn]

on pz i recently did mp3 it didnt work

[vapid quest]

thanks

[fathom barn]

i always use waw

[vapid quest]

its for new sounds?

[fathom barn]

for any sounds here

[vapid quest]

its necessary or not?

[fathom barn]

here

this is my level up sound mod

take a look

why u using lua for a basic sound mod tho

[vapid quest]

script is necessary or not?

[vapid quest]

its not just a sound mod

[fathom barn]

what sound is it?

that you are making

[vapid quest]

vanilla sounds

[fathom barn]

If you don't write which sounds will be changed, game won't recognize it

it's like going to a doctor without telling them whats wrong

lets say u are editing death sound,

u have to add the death script name

[vapid quest]

i'm not editing sounds

just using them

[fathom barn]

then just unpack the bank file

that way u can play and use them however u want

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owvnzePB2iU&ab_channel=CédricCrystobalOrléans

[vapid quest]

thanks

[fathom barn]

you trying to access these?

[vapid quest]

no

i don't need all sounds

[fathom barn]

well u cant find them seperately

all sounds in a bank file

[vapid quest]

but what is the files in media/sound?

there are also sounds

[fathom barn]

yeah

I don't know why they made the other sounds in a bank file

maybe it reduces file size, maybe they dont want their work to be stolen, maybe its bcz of copyrigh

[fathom barn]

there are MORE sounds in the bank files

i gotta sleep its 4am here

any questions

[vapid quest]

no

thanks

[fathom barn]

np

[fathom barn]

what are you doing with them?

[vapid quest]

just playing random sounds near the player

[true nova]

Question:
Is there a way to figure out the killer and cause of death of a zombie?

I want to access the inventory of a zombie if hit with a specific weapon. Reading the chat history it looks like the zombie’s inventory does not exist until the OnZombieDead function is triggered and it may not contain all of items that will be on the zombie’s corpse if I understand it correctly.

I am currently using the OnHitZombie function to detect when a zombie is hit with the weapon. Killing the zombie with zombie:die() and then attempting to access the Items arrayList in its inventory results in a null reference. So, I don’t think I can access the inventory of the zombie in the OnHitZombie function since not enough time has passed and/or Lua waits for the function to complete before running OnZombieDead.

Any suggestions on how to find the cause of death of a zombie in a way that I can access their inventory? While maintaining a reference to the killer?

Or how I could somehow flag the corpse to do things in the OnZombieDead function?

Anyone messing with icons knows that custom items and icons need to use the media/item_ prefix. This does not however mean the file itself needs the prefix:

Helps a lot more with organization purposes

[crystal terrace]

I thought icon files had to have item prefix. I'll try this out.

[vapid quest]

oh thanks

[limpid leaf]

Do the ProceduralDistributions.lua tables have a size limit? I'm getting an out of bounds error when trying to add a lot of new items. Works fine when it's just a few

[fathom barn]

Hey guys

There are a lot of music files in the game, but where can i learn what triggers them to play?

For example, when and what triggers the exploration music? mx_exploration_pressing_on_main_75bpm.wav

...What triggers the tension musics?

Thanks.

[vapid quest]

which type i should use for choice in sandbox-options and how to use it

[vapid quest]

or tell me pls how to make custom sandbox option

[median mantle]

Use type enum

[vapid quest]

i tried but it doesnt work

option just disappearing

[median mantle]

Then you should do something wrong

Would you show your code?

[vapid quest]

yeah, wait a minute

VERSION = 1,

option RandomSounds.OnceInTime
{
    type = enum,
    default = 1,
    page = RandomSounds,
    values[] = {Option1, Option2, Option3},
}```

[median mantle]

You need 'numValues'

instead of values[]

{
    type = enum,
    numValues = 3,
    default = 2,
    page = pageName,
    translation = optionTranslation,
}```

like this

[vapid quest]

thanks

[vapid quest]

how to translate all of this?

[median mantle]

Sandbox_optionsTranslation_option1    = "option 1",
Sandbox_optionsTranslation_option2    = "option 2",
Sandbox_optionsTranslation_option3    = "option 3",
...```

[vapid quest]

thanks

[median mantle]

or you can use 'valueTranslation'

[vapid quest]

how to translate this?

[median mantle]

{
    type = enum,
    numValues = 3,
    default = 2,
    page = pageName,
    translation = optionTranslation,
    valueTranslation = dropdownTranslation,
}

Sandbox_optionsTranslation        = "option name",
Sandbox_dropdownTranslation_option1    = "option 1",
Sandbox_dropdownTranslation_option2    = "option 2",
Sandbox_dropdownTranslation_option3    = "option 3",
...```

[vapid quest]

translation is working without this

[median mantle]

yes it is. just optional

[vapid quest]

oh i get it

thanks

[vapid quest]

but how to translate this one?

[median mantle]

You should make your own tranlsation file in lua/shared/Translate

[vapid quest]

i made it, just want to know how is defining this to translate it

other translation is working correctly

[median mantle]

Would you show yours?

[vapid quest]

option RandomSounds.OnceInTime
{
    type = enum,
    numValues = 3,
    default = 2,
    page = RandomSounds,
    translation = rSCTranslation,
}```

[crystal terrace]

Make a translation file for your sandbox options, then define it here translation=yourtranslationfile

[vapid quest]

i already done it

[median mantle]

Plz show also your sandbox_~~.txt

translation = rSCTranslation, part

[vapid quest]

    Sandbox_rSCTranslation_option1 = "10 минут",
    Sandbox_rSCTranslation_option2 = "30 минут",
    Sandbox_rSCTranslation_option3 = "1 час",```

[median mantle]

There's no problem at all

Maybe you're talking about the sandbox option page?

[vapid quest]

yes

[median mantle]

Same with options

Sandbox_RandomSounds = "your translation",

[vapid quest]

thanks a lot

do you know how to check value that was chosen?

[median mantle]

in lua code?

[vapid quest]

yes

[median mantle]

almost same with other options

It's saved as integer value (index of chosen option)

[vapid quest]

just
if Sandbox_rSCTranslation_option1 == value then ?

[median mantle]

nope

SandboxVars.RandomSounds.OnceInTime

[vapid quest]

thanks

[median mantle]

every sandbox option value are stored in SandboxVars as table

[vapid quest]

so for option 1 i need to use this? or how to do it SandboxVars.RandomSounds.OnceInTime[1]

[median mantle]

No

[vapid quest]

[median mantle]

For example, if you choose first option then SandboxVars.RandomSounds.OnceInTime = 1

[vapid quest]

i get it, thanks a lot

[sour island]

Nah, I was messing with getTexture and gettryTexture and they behave differently in the java - and learned that the item code uses gettryTexture and it actually just looks in /media/ as with getTexture and adds "items_" to the entered in variable which in scripts is icon

So "/media/icon_icon"

So icon=folder/file works

For /media/icon_folder/file

It's a little goofy - not sure why the icon prefix is used tbh as it throws off a lot of new modders -- but it's better than being forced to dump all the images into media - especially if you have more than say a dozen

[vapid quest]

i have an error LuaManager$GlobalObject.require> require("sounds") failed in this: require("sounds")
sounds.lua is in media/lua

[sour island]

The require should include everything after client/server/shared

And the require needs to be calling a file from the same subdirectory or shared

Lua files can't just sit in /Lua/

Needs to be in one of the three subdirectories

[vapid quest]

oh thanks

the same error after require("shared/sounds")

[median mantle]

Use just require "sounds"

[vapid quest]

i used this but have this error

[sour island]

Everything after client/shared/server

[drifting ore]

Hey! is there anything wrong in this code?

player:getStats():setFoodSicknessLevel(player:getStats():getFoodSicknessLevel() + 10000)```

Why does that throw?
`Object tried to call nil in DealDamage`

[sour island]

If sounds is in the same sub directory as the file you're using require in - there should be no issue

[sour island]

You would need to break up the line to identify which method is incorrect.

[median mantle]

setFoodSicknessLevel & getFoodSicknessLevel are in BodyDamage

Not in Stats

player:getStats() -> player:getBodyDamage()
try this

[vapid quest]

how can i call function every 10 minutes if sandbox value = 1

[median mantle]

https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Lua_Events/EveryTenMinutes

[vapid quest]

    Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(playRandomSound)
end``` dont think this will work

[median mantle]

  if SandboxVars.RandomSounds.OnceInTime == 1 then
    -- TODO
  end
end

Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(hello)```

[vapid quest]

oh, dont thought about it, thanks

but if minutes are 30 how to calculate them?

[median mantle]

local function hello()
  if timeCheck > 0 then
    timeCheck = timeCheck - 1
    return
  end
  if SandboxVars.RandomSounds.OnceInTime == 1 then
    -- TODO
    timeCheck = 3
  end
end

Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(hello)```

[vapid quest]

thanks a lot

[drifting ore]

Thank you!

[vapid quest]

also want to ask how to check player playing mp or sp

just want to use EveryTenMinutes but before use something like OnServerStarted

[median mantle]

use isClient()

[vapid quest]

how to use it?

and can't i just write Events.OnServerStarted.Add(Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(getSandboxTime)) ?

    if getPlayer():isClient() == true then
        getSandboxTime()
    else return
    end
end

Events.EveryTenMinutes.Add(checkIsClient)``` is this right?

[median mantle]

getPlayer():isClient() -> isClient()

[vapid quest]

thanks

i have an error in this line: playRandomSound()

playRandomSound() function:

    local randIndex = ZombRand(#sounds) +1
    local randSound = sounds[randIndex]

    local soundObject = randSound
    local soundManager = getSoundManager()

    ------------ DEBUG ------------
    print("sound:" .. soundObject)
    ------------ DEBUG ------------

    local player = getPlayer()
    local x,y,z = player:getX(),player:getY(),player:getZ()

    soundManager:PlayWorldSound(soundObject,false,nil,x,y,z,false)

end```

[vapid quest]

i fixed this, but now after few changes, in log i see only "you are in local game"

before i added this to server lua:

    if isClient() == false then
        print("you are in local game")
    else
        getSandboxTime()
        print("you are in server")
    end
end```

[sour island]

IsClient will return true if the code is being run in MP

[vapid quest]

but i have 3 lua files, 1 server and 2 clients, 1 server and 1 client is for game in server, and 1 client for sp

[sour island]

I am not able to decipher that lol

You don't need entire files to be different depending on MP or not

[vapid quest]

sorry, i'm bad in english

[sour island]

Server code is ran by clients - no matter what

If you want the code to be entirely server side you'd have to put a not isclient check

[jolly goblet]

Hello everyone. Does anyone have an example about dynamically loaded? even if it is very basic. But I need to place notes all over the map. the problem I'm having is that I can't just do it with "AddWorldInventoryItem" because this only works on the tiles that load when the character spawns. but not in areas of the map that have not loaded. They told me that it had to be dynamically loaded but I have no idea how to do it. Will someone have a little sample code and I'll look for more information from there.

[vapid quest]

abstract fmod.fmod.Audio

you might have to work with onGrindLoadSquare function i think, a while ago Poltergeist also shared a resource from workshop to use instead of this function i believe.

[bronze yoke]

moodles aren't really moddable at all, to resize them i just rewrote them completely in lua

Does anybody have any experience with adding items to ProceduralDistributions? I'm getting the error "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 200 out of bounds for length 200". The index is always 200. I've counted and no table I'm adding things to exceeds 200 values. I've also hunted for missing commas and such and while I found a few stray things I'm still running into issues.
I'm adding things with the template below, and I have a bunch of those arrays and loops because most of them only add to one loot table each and I've split up the items array into different item types. So it can be a few loops in the table loop.
I seem get the error if I have too many loops. It doesn't matter which ones I remove or leave, but at a certain point I get the out of bounds error and I don't understand why.
If anybody as any idea please help me because I'm about to go insane here.

    "ListName1",
    "ListName2",
}

local ITEMS_TEMPLATE = {
    "ItemName1", 2,
    "ItemName2", 4,
    "ItemName3", 6,
    "ItemName4", 8,
}

for i = 1, #TABLE_TEMPLATE, 1 do
    for j = 1, #ITEMS_TEMPLATE, 2 do
        table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[TABLE_TEMPLATE[i]].items, ITEMS_TEMPLATE[j])
        table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[TABLE_TEMPLATE[i]].items, ITEMS_TEMPLATE[j+1])
    end
end```

[bronze yoke]

is it giving you a line number? i can't see why you'd be getting this error since you aren't using any arrays (explicitly) to begin with

depending on how many 'too many loops' is, your file could literally be too big - i've heard there is a limit on how much Stuff a lua file can have, but i've never managed to run into it

if the loops are all copy-pastes of this with different values using a function instead of copy-paste would probably fix that

[dusty aspen]

if you have mod for that- can i get name? if uploaded to workshop?

[bronze yoke]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011924415

[limpid leaf]

This is the error that I get. There's nothing useful in it that I can understand at least.

[bronze yoke]

the call stack makes it look like you've hit a variable limit

[quasi geode]

there are too many items in the stack. maxes out at 200. try and reduce local variable count

items meaning variables, functions, tables etc.

[limpid leaf]

Ok, thank you so much for the help! I will consolidate some stuff to get blow the limit. Is it an overall thing or per file?

[bronze yoke]

per file

200 variables for the entire game would be a bit difficult to work around

[limpid leaf]

Yeah :p just wanted to be sure. Thanks again!

[quasi geode]

well for any given stack, so files and functions various blocks of code etc

More specifically;

Allowing attaching speakers to a ghettoblaster, to expand the radius the music plays at, or to play it play on several floors without "turning down volume"?

I have the following code but it seems to give an error during LUA loading. Although when loading the map no error is marked I have not been able to make it work.

local function LoadGridsquare(sq)
    if sq:getWindow() and sq:getX() == 3148 and sq:getY() == 7228 and sq:getZ() == 0 then
        print('1qX ---->' .. sq:getX());
        print('1qY ---->' .. sq:getY());
        local sqNote  = sq:AddWorldInventoryItem("Base.wicked_lab01_SheetPaper", ZombRand(0.1, 0.5), ZombRand(0.1, 0.5), 0);
    end
end
Events.LoadGridsquare.Add(LoadGridsquare);

I have seen many mod use TimedActions/ISBaseTimedAction
Especially the "Snake Pack". In all hidden events they use that library but I don't have a clear example how to use it. Maybe this will help make things load on the map.

[vapid quest]

i used getPlayer():getEmitter():playSound(soundObject) for sound and have this warnings:
GameSounds.getOrCreateSound> no GameSound called "hunterShot.wav", adding a new one
GameSounds.getOrCreateSound> couldn't find an FMOD event or .ogg or .wav file for sound "hunterShot.wav"

[crystal terrace]

what sort of error?

[jolly goblet]

If I don't put the conditional. The game hangs or just crashes.
and with the conditional apparently it is never fulfilled because the print() is not generated and the object is not added

[bronze yoke]

the game hangs without the conditional because prints are extremely expensive and when you first load in loadgridsquare can be called tens of thousands of times at once

you have to be careful when using prints on events like that, and it's why prints in most cases shouldn't make it through to release code

for the conditional not working, you should verify that:

• you are actually at those co-ordinates
• there is a window on that square, and that the game considers it on that square and not an adjacent square (since windows are on walls, they're sort of 'between squares' and which one it actually belongs to is unclear)

[sharp timber]

Can someone help me figure out how to call methods from another lua file? I'm trying to use lua_timers api but I keep getting an error pointing at line 439

[bronze yoke]

what error?

[sharp timber]

line 441 is line 439 from prev screenshot

[bronze yoke]

looks like they didn't write it as a module so you don't need to require it

remove the require line and change timer**.Create to timer:**Create and it should work

[sharp timber]

ok i'll try that

wow thanks! it works now

🙏🏾

[fathom barn]

i was sick about my simple sound mod not working

then i figured i was typing waw instead of wav in the scripts

[fathom barn]

Is PZ musics mono or stereo?

[vapid quest]

guys, help me pls

[covert carbon]

how do you find the player's levels in different categories?

[keen silo]

you need to make the sound on a script

like this

[vapid quest]

but why if its vanilla sound?

[keen silo]

o o

I thought it was a custom sound :v

[bronze yoke]

you need to pass the name of the sound script, not the file

[vapid quest]

so i need to write all this sounds in script?

[keen silo]

if you are adding the sound to the game, you need to make a sound script, and pass the name of the sound script

[bronze yoke]

the vanilla ones should already have scripts

[vapid quest]

ok but all sounds just from vanilla

[bronze yoke]

unless it is unused

and actually the loose files are unused

[vapid quest]

so i should write the name same as in script?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[vapid quest]

ok, thanks

[keen silo]

I checked with grep -rnw '.' -e 'hunterShot' and found no results in the scripts folder

that sound is probably unused

you will have to make the sound script

[vapid quest]

[keen silo]

Something like this:

Name: sounds_{yourmod}.txt

module Base
{
    sound hunterShot
    {
        category = Object,
        clip
        {
            file = media/sound/hunterShot.ogg,
            distanceMin = 5,
            distanceMax = 50,
            reverbMaxRange = 10,
            reverbFactor = 0,
        }
    }
}

and then call hunterShot

[vapid quest]

thanks

[bronze yoke]

if it is used it's not too likely the fmod double would have the same name

[keen silo]

I got a question about setting a models mesh

I want the player to have a model different than zombies, and clothing also different than zombies

is there a way to set the players model (I already have the models)

[bronze yoke]

no

the usual workaround is to use a clothing item that masks the entire body

and has the new model

[keen silo]

so if I make the base model Fat, every naked zombie will be fat?

[bronze yoke]

i think they use the same model, so probably

[keen silo]

and there is no way to change this?

[bronze yoke]

not to my knowledge

[keen silo]

Ok, I checked the javascript guide

apparently, IsoGameCharacters have a getModelInstance

ModelInstance has a Model

and I can create a new model, using the class constructor Model​(AssetPath assetPath, AssetManager assetManager, Model.ModelAssetParams modelAssetParams)

I'll have to review how this works in Lua, but perhaps it is possible (?)

Does anybody know the creator of Special Zombies mods? (like CDDA Zombies, or the Last of Us)?

I gather they had to do what I'm trying to do to make their special infected, so I'd like to contact them to learn how they did it.

[covert carbon]

how do you get a player's level on a certain skill?

[bronze yoke]

player:getPerkLevel(Perks.PerkName)

[covert carbon]

thank you 😊

[covert carbon]

managed to shorten my code by 8 lines

feels good

[vagrant valley]

Were you using if statements

[covert carbon]

I am yes

where can you find the code that defines clothing conditions?

[vapid quest]

how to check like this?

[calm depot]

install a shell like cygwin or mingw

(I'm going to assume you're on windows because you'd otherwise already have one)

[tardy wren]

Hello. If I want to make a custom action that can be done with an item, I do need to extend ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.createMenu or should I do something else? As in, I want the player to be able to right click on an item and do something with it. The final result is me trying to let player pour ethanol between containers that can hold it, much like water

[tulip cipher]

The dreaded if then end if then end, wall of text

[vagrant valley]

There's also elseif statements

If you really have to go down that route

It's like nesting but not really

[tulip cipher]

I think I have 1 else in my whole 200 lines

And it's right at the start to stop nill or 0 error

[tardy wren]

I've moved my loop code into a separate function just so I can break the current iteration withoit leaving the loop

[vagrant valley]

I got basically no code experience under my belt

So i dont know much about functions and all that

Especially the shitshow that is lua and java

[tulip cipher]

😶

I don't even have a facial expression after seeing that

[tulip cipher]

It's all about slowly learning, ain't no need to sprint

[covert carbon]

had to make sure of a lot of things

[vagrant valley]

I know a lot about modelling though

[covert carbon]

even though I could have done it with one statement

[vagrant valley]

So there's that

[tardy wren]

function myFunct()
  return
end

while true do
  myFunct()
end

[tulip cipher]

Hahahaha, I feel that

[tardy wren]

Here's the example that does absolutely nothing

[tulip cipher]

Thank you!

Redundant return lol

[tardy wren]

I do pass an argument to the function but otherwise, yeah, that's the code

[covert carbon]

does anybody know the file that determines clothing conditions? (holes, patches, how to add or subtract clothing condition, etc)

[vagrant valley]

You do all that redundancy so someone that uses your mod gets into a problem you dont even know was possible

[tardy wren]

Well, I could use someone with experience rn

[covert carbon]

lol. I just did it to seperate each line of code so I can pinpoint the fuckup

[tulip cipher]

Have you guys seen the code for a lot of the weight reduction mods?

Like it works, they did a good job... But it's hundreds of if then else......... 😭

[muted garnet]

Can I check if a player is under the influence of pills like beta blockers or something like that?

    local playerStats = self.character:getStats()
    local currentPanicLevel = playerStats:getStats():getPanic()
    local PanicLevel1 = currentPanicLevel + 20
    local newPanicLevel2 = currentPanicLevel + 60

    if player is under (beta blockers) then
        playerStats:getStats():setPanic(PanicLevel1)
    else
        playerStats:getStats():setPanic(newPanicLevel2)
    end

[vagrant valley]

My lua code doesnt even work regardless of if else or no if else

[tulip cipher]

If I see more than one "if x then" I start spazzing out

[vagrant valley]

Something about referencing a null object

[tardy wren]

There are some ways, yes... Let me check the code

[tulip cipher]

Make sure the object you are referencing actually exists WHEN you are assigning it

[muted garnet]

thanks, I will wait :3

[vagrant valley]

Yeah i have all the items already in game

[tulip cipher]

Odd... You don't mind sending it?

[vagrant valley]

It's OnCreate

[tardy wren]

Appears to be this in IsoGameCharacter

   public float getBetaEffect() {
      return this.BetaEffect;
   }```

[vagrant valley]

All the function does is give the player items

After crafting something

[muted garnet]

thanks

[tulip cipher]

Are you referencing the original item AFTER crafting, (it no longer exists)

[tardy wren]

Yeah, you can getBetaEffect from Lua

[vagrant valley]

Nope

I wrote the script so that it's supposed to give you an entirely new item

[tardy wren]

Show it

[vagrant valley]

I do have the error that pops out from it

[tulip cipher]

Sure

[vagrant valley]

I sent it a few days ago

#mod_development message

[neon bronze]

Whats your oncreate code?

[tulip cipher]

This too

[vagrant valley]

    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.GoldScrap", ZombRand(3));    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.CopperScrap", ZombRand(5));    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.SilverScrap", ZombRand(3));    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PalladiumScrap", ZombRand(2));    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.PlatinumScrap", ZombRand(2));    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.MetalSlag", ZombRand(2));
end```

You could probably tell what im trying to make here

For some reason the copy paste broke some things

But it should look proper where i have it here

[tulip cipher]

Wish I wasn't on mobile rn

[vagrant valley]

Im also on mobile

Im not on my pc right now

[neon bronze]

Would recommend to store the inventory in a variable

[tulip cipher]

    at zombie.inventory.RecipeManager.PerformMakeItem(RecipeManager.java:1302)```

[covert carbon]

If I wanted to add a hole to clothing, would i use this

[drifting ore]

Hey everyone, Is this the right way to make ModData?
at the start of a new character, and only that. it throws an error. attempted index: dosage of non-table: null
I'm new to coding so i really don't know what's the problem. (or how to fix it.)

function initializeDefaultRadiation(dosage)
    local player = getPlayer()
    local RadiationModData = player:getModData()
    RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"] = 0.5
    local dosage = RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"]
    return dosage
end


function loadPlayerRadiationDosage()
    local player = getPlayer()
    local RadiationModData = player:getModData()
    RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"] = RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"] or initializeDefaultRadiation(dosage)
    local dosage = RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"]
    return dosage
end

[tulip cipher]

Where are you calling these?

Event.add?

[drifting ore]

Yeah

OnGameStart

i only call loadPlayerRadiationDosage OnGameStart.

[tulip cipher]

OnGameStart doesn't get local player radiation before you are using it

[neon bronze]

try with set numbers first

[drifting ore]

i thought thats what the or initializeDefaultRadiation(dosage) was for?

[neon bronze]

my only thought is that you could get a 0 and the game doesnt how to handle it maybe

[vagrant valley]

Yeah

ZombRand does go from 0 to n

[drifting ore]

Can you Elaborate, Please? I'm confused.

[tulip cipher]

No idea, I don't ever init, I only ever directly sign the variable

[vagrant valley]

But i did this before without the numbers (so it pretty much gives a single quantity) and that doesnt seem to work either

[tulip cipher]

From what I can tell your code is: 1, getting the player 2, asking for the player "dose"... Of which it doesn't know yet

Then it says its null

Then you set it, and then don't use it

Personally, it only makes sense to... Get the player, set the moddata for it, then read the moddata after, then use it

Otherwise if it doesn't start with the moddata and then tries to read it, there's not even a data entry, so it returns null

[vagrant valley]

Any ideas on what caused this?

[tulip cipher]

No idea I haven't learned anything for recipes yet, just finished my chem paper for uni XD

[covert carbon]

still have 0 clue what IsoGameCharacter means, can anybody help?

[tulip cipher]

Where's Albion when you need her 😭

[vagrant valley]

She doesnt even know what caused that error either

So im kinda stuck here

[fading horizon]

Anyone have any idea why i'm getting this error when equipping my custom weapon?

[drifting ore]

Wait, so with my current code, i'm not making a ModData ?

Sorry for all the questions

[tulip cipher]

Ngl it's 29c rn and I'm stood waiting for a pick up, I'm heat stroked af, the second I get in all boot up vsc and help but rn I'm dying XD

[drifting ore]

All is well man, take care of yourself and stay hydrated.

[covert carbon]

does anybody know what IsoGameCharacter means?

[drifting ore]

its the player. local player = getPlayer()

[tulip cipher]

I'm going through Pepsi like an African elephant

[covert carbon]

so getPlayer() is the same as IsoGameCharacter?

[tulip cipher]

Pretty much?

[vagrant valley]

Okay so how do i put "inventory" in a variable

[tulip cipher]

I just use getSpecificPlayer(0)

[vagrant valley]

Like local inventory = Inventory() sort of thing?

[covert carbon]

its saying I need IsoGameCharacter for this

[crystal terrace]

getPlayer():getInventory(), you can checkout most methods available for player object here https://zomboid-javadoc.com/41.78/zombie/characters/IsoPlayer.html

[covert carbon]

what does "iso" mean

[vagrant valley]

Ah

So something more like player:getPlayer():getInventory() then

[neon bronze]

No just getPlayer()

[crystal terrace]

Have no clue tbh, but yes you can pass player object (isoPlayer is a child class of iso character)

[tulip cipher]

Isometric (basically a 2d object rendered in 3d, polygons basically)

[crystal terrace]

so just a naming convention to represent that

[tulip cipher]

Yee I think

From what I can tell isoplayer is just player()

[vagrant valley]

I'll try that once i get to do more debugging, thank you

[tulip cipher]

But from java to Lua

[tulip cipher]

(if you ONLY want the particular client that's running the code use getSpecificPlayer(0) but honestly that's rare)

[vagrant valley]

I dont think you need to do that for crafting

[tulip cipher]

Nope

[vagrant valley]

I dont see that being used in the vanilla recipecode.lua

[tulip cipher]

Just saying for when you really need the exact client

Otherwise ignore me XD

[covert carbon]

this returns an error print(getPlayer():getFabricType())

idk why

[crystal terrace]

from what i have heard for SP, getPlayer is fine but for MP i think getSpecficPlayer(index) is suggested.

[tulip cipher]

Yee

[crystal terrace]

is that a method available for player? i dont think so. Also always try to convert it to a string value before printing. Can use tostring(stuffHere) or do something like print("this is something"..stuffHere) (note the two dots in between that's lua's way of concating strings)

[tulip cipher]

Send error too

[crystal terrace]

Even then i don't think you can print out complex objects, If i wanna look at objects i usually use debugger and mark break points. That way i can look at if im pulling a null obj or what exactly does the object hold.

[crystal terrace]

it's not a method available for player obj, only for item objects

[covert carbon]

so how do I find the item that the player is wearing?

[fading horizon]

function backpackFlags.wearThis(stuff, texture, name, reverse)
    local player = getPlayer()
        local inv = player:getInventory() 
        local equip = inv:AddItem(stuff);
        equip:getVisual():setTextureChoice(texture);
        
        local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(0)
        if not playerObj then
            return
        end

        local wornItems = playerObj:getWornItems()

        for i=1,wornItems:size() do
            local item = wornItems:getItemByIndex(i-1)

            if reverse then
                if item:getFullType() == "backpackFlags.PoleReverse" then 
                    item:getContainer():DoRemoveItem(item)  
                end
            else
                if item:getFullType() == "backpackFlags.Pole" then 
                    item:getContainer():DoRemoveItem(item)  
                end
            end
        end


        player:setWornItem(equip:getBodyLocation(), equip);

        name = "Backpack Flag ("..name..")";
        equip:setName(name)
end

[crystal terrace]

i think, if im not wrong clothing items are in inventory right? If that's the case then you can get inventory items and iterate over it. Not sure if theres a way to pull equipped items.

[fading horizon]

this is how I handle it in my backpack flags mod

[covert carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/look-up-scared-willem-dafoe-gif-17761333

thank you

also does anybody know how to add holes/worsen the condition of clothing? I can find how to patch clothing, its bite defense, and a lot of other stuff

but not holes or condition

[fading horizon]

setCondition(int Condition)

try this?

i'm looking at the clothing class rn

[covert carbon]

what is "int"

[fading horizon]

a number of your choosing

it would either be 0 - 1 or 1-100

idk

[vagrant valley]

Int is anything up to the integer limit

I believe condition cant go above 100

Or else the item would invariably break

[covert carbon]

oh okay

so I tried doing print(getPlayer():getWornItems()) but it doesnt return a list or anything, just a set of numbers

[crystal terrace]

It's a an object of type worn items

Look at worn items class in java docs

[tardy wren]

that's because it's an object. It returns its address. You must find what type it returns, and possibly iterate over them. You can try a "ToString"

[fading horizon]

you have to do it like this

[tardy wren]

Question: If I want to make a custom action that can be done with an item, I do need to extend ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.createMenu or should I do something else? As in, I want the player to be able to right click on an item and do something with it. The final result is me trying to let player pour ethanol between containers that can hold it, much like water.

[fading horizon]

local wornItems = playerObj:getWornItems()

for i=1,wornItems:size() do
local item = wornItems:getItemByIndex(i-1)
console.log(wornItems:getItemByIndex(i-1))

if item:getFullType() == "YOURITEMTYPE" then 
// do whatever

so you get an object of worn items

you then loop through that object

each item is retreived and checked against the item you're looking for

[crystal terrace]

I think context menu is the way to do, I don't know about extending to it but I used the other way of creating context menu.

[tardy wren]

The other way? Elaborate please, I don't have my workshop downloader on me

[fading horizon]

local function OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu(player, context, items) -- # When an inventory item context menu is opened
    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player);
    items = ISInventoryPane.getActualItems(items); -- Get table of inventory items
    local isStuartSpear = nil; -- Define a variable to hold the potential vape item
    for _, item in ipairs(items) do -- Check every item in inventory                         
        if item:getFullType() == 'StuartLittle.stuartSpear' then -- If item is a stuart little spear, it is caught in a variable.
            isStuartSpear = item; -- We check if it's our item first to reduce load time since this is called every time an option is right clicked.
            -- // (item:getFullType())
            break
        end
    end

    if isStuartSpear ~= nil then -- # if the clicked item is stuart spear, add the decoration context menu item

        local isFav = context:getOptionFromName("Favorite");
        local opt
        -- // print(CMIcon)
        if isFav then
            opt = context:insertOptionAfter("Favorite", getText("UI_stuartSpear_action"), isStuartSpear,
                callStuartSpearAction, playerObj) -- !! Need to also pass the player object here so the timed action can use it  |  Insert after "favorite" so it's in the normal "smoke" position
        else
            opt = context:insertOptionAfter("Unfavorite", getText("UI_stuartSpear_action"), isStuartSpear,
                callStuartSpearAction, playerObj) -- !! Inserting option after unfavorite. If neither exists, it will just add it to the bottom of the stack by default.
        end

    end
end

Events.OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu.Add(OnFillInventoryObjectContextMenu) -- !! When vanilla code is ran, add this custom code```

check out this code i just did for my mod

its adding a context menu that links to a custom function

[covert carbon]

what is the " i "

[fading horizon]

alternatively, check out my GnomeBar Vapes mod, it does exactly that

[tardy wren]

Oh, so I can just subscribe to an event?

Thank you

[fading horizon]

it takes a custom context menu and does a custom timed action when clicked

[fading horizon]

your index counter

for the loop

[tardy wren]

i is just a variable. short for "index". It's used to keep track of the index number

[covert carbon]

what is an index number

[tardy wren]

it's... a number that states in which position something is

[crystal terrace]

There's two events you could use, one's for inventory items and one's for world stuff. Right click on any will pop up a context menu with options which on click will trigger your lua function. That's the idea.

[tardy wren]

I see. I will need both, so it's actually amazing it's so easily extensible

It's only the second time I praise the codebase

After 10 mods

[fading horizon]

you can also create entirely custom context menus

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2046363739229799393/9C117B9CFD6AFF3829A0E2EBC6D42896BD61F02F/?imw=637&imh=358&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=true

like i did here

oh wait

that's a tooltip

i'm tired

[crystal terrace]

You would need to put a check tho to select certain type otherwise it'll pop up for every item. I can share some code later for reference if you want.

[fading horizon]

my bad lol

[tardy wren]

I just want to write a custom pour action, since I'm running ethanol instead of water

[fading horizon]

it didn't even paste the gif

lame

oh shit i solved my issue

[crystal terrace]

These are the events btw, except the 2nd one.

[tardy wren]

did you have a rubber ducky moment?

[fading horizon]

i had "attachment" instead of "attachment world" under the model definition

[tardy wren]

Ah... I don't know much about those yet

[crystal terrace]

@tardy wren
#mod_development message

found the stuff when I was working with context menu.

[tardy wren]

Thanks. This seems to be with world objects?

[crystal terrace]

Ye it's same for inventory ones just you need the diff event for that.

[tardy wren]

I just realized that I will need to make the context menu multi-level

Since the player will have to select the item to pour into

It will take some fanagling...

[crystal terrace]

Yea, not sure if I can help with that.

[tardy wren]

But there's already code for the water, so I should be able to do this

Maybe not in the best way, but it will be done

[crystal terrace]

In that case I think it's best to do what game does, I think you could hook into timed actions I'm a bit iffy on that barely used it once.

You could also maybe store the container info somewhere to use that later if you don't wanna go the multilevel route.

[tardy wren]

I'll see how it's implemented with water, and try to recreate it with what I have... Which is hashmaps of ReplaceOnUseOn

That's the first time I praised the codebase

function Recipe.OnCreate.CreatePetrolManual(items,result,player)
    for i = 0, items:size() - 1 do
        ---@type InventoryItem
        local item = items:get(i)
        if item and item:hasTag("EmptyPetrol") then
            local fuelContainerType = item:getReplaceTypesMap():get("PetrolSource")
            local fuelItem = player:getInventory():AddItem(fuelContainerType)
            fuelItem:setDelta(fuelItem:getUseDelta())
        end
    end
end

[covert carbon]

If I wanted to pick solely clothing in a certain area of a person's body how would I do that

[fading horizon]

maybe
getCategory()

local wornItems = playerObj:getWornItems()

for i=1,wornItems:size() do
local item = wornItems:getItemByIndex(i-1)
console.log(wornItems:getItemByIndex(i-1):getCategory())

if item:getFullType() == "YOURITEMTYPE" then 
// do whatever

i'm not sure honestly

i'm better at making models than lua haha

[covert carbon]

its all good

I do want to ask though, what does i-1 do

[fading horizon]

i starts at 1, tables start at index 0

so it decreses i by one to account for that

you could just do i=0 i think

[true nova]

no that returns the item category as a string

[covert carbon]

what is the difference between an index and a table?

[true nova]

index is position in the table

[covert carbon]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

everything just clicked

thx

[true nova]

getBodyLocation() is what i think you need

[covert carbon]

oh alright

ive been trying to use getBloodClothingType

local wornItems = getPlayer():getWornItems():getBloodClothingType()

it doesnt work

I might know why one sec

[true nova]

anyone know the function that gets the direction an isoobject is facing?

[covert carbon]

getDir()

I think

[true nova]

ah thats probably right i was searching the wrong things

[sour island]

How feasible would it be to transfer images from host to client?

I imagine there's no practice way to do it, I was thinking of adding jigsaw puzzles to the game night - but I thought it would be cool if you didn't need to make a submod for thst

[bronze yoke]

    RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"] = RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"] or initializeDefaultRadiation(dosage)
`````RadiationModData["Radiation"]`` hasn't been initialised yet, so it is null, so ``RadiationModData["Radiation"]["dosage"]`` is attempting to index a non-table (null)
you can fix this pretty easily by adding```lua
RadiationModData["Radiation"] = RadiationModData["Radiation"] or {}
```before that line

[drifting ore]

You are so cool, thank you!

[true nova]

is this the proper way to find if a worldobject is a bed getProperties():Is("bed") ?

[jolly goblet]

[river moon]

Hello, a popular cheat for the game has been released, which works on both the pirated and licensed versions of the game. So... I keep a modeless server and I want to protect it, so there is only one way out - to change the Java code of the game. I have some small operational developments in Java for the server, which limit cheaters a little, but this is not enough. Does anyone else have similar developments?

[crystal terrace]

you should be able to search using your IDE, ctrl+shift+F to search through directory and ctrl+f to search in file.

[vapid quest]

its taking too much time to check all scripts

[keen silo]

I don't know, you will have to research it. you can get Windows Subsystem for Linux

it is a command line

[bronze yoke]

i think you can do it in powershell but i'd just use ide search

[crystal terrace]

ye there's prolly powershell alternative for this but IDE is a bit less complicated if you don't wanna dive deep into commands

[vapid quest]

ohhhhh chatgpt helped me

findstr /S /M /I "your_keyword" *.txt

its working

i just tested this

[keen silo]

I work more with console and powershell than scripting

[vapid quest]

just run powershell and make the path you need and then type this just change your_keyword to word you need

oh

i have a problem

if i'm trying to cd C:\Program Files (x86) it shows error

[vapid quest]

oh, i need just to put "C:\Program Files (x86)"

also if there is nothing in output its because your word haven't found

ive tried it and chatgpt uses functions that don't exist and ads "end"s that aren't needed. its decent at the logic and steps required to get what you want though

ye gives you direction if you have experience, otherwise youd be more confused

but then again if you know the right questions to ask

is it possible? think it works better with human readable languages (saying that with no idea how language model works)

it seems pretty decent at reading code, it's only source is whatever was on the internet 2 years ago though

[vapid quest]

how can i check amount of players on server?

or get all players

just like getPlayer()

[crystal terrace]

not exactly sure, but could try getPlayer():getPlayers():size

[bronze yoke]

that's a static method so you would just call IsoPlayer.getPlayers(), but iirc that's local players only and the size is always 4

if i remember right it just translates an IsoPlayer[4] array into an arraylist since arrays aren't a thing with kahlua

[crystal terrace]

ah

[vapid quest]

i found getPlayerCount

[bronze yoke]

actually not sure how size would behave with that but either way it wouldn't be the total server count

[median mantle]

try getOnlinePlayers()

If you want to get player count in MP

[tulip cipher]

its very hard making your code a static amount of lines no matter how much to client would like to do

[bronze yoke]

unfortunately when called on the client getOnlinePlayers doesn't count players you haven't been near yet

[median mantle]

Isn't it return all players when called on server side?

[bronze yoke]

yeah

[tulip cipher]

yeah but i think it includes the host or AFK invis admins too

[median mantle]

Of course it does

[vapid quest]

i found another function named getPlayerCount

[median mantle]

It's almost same with getOnlinePlayers() when called on server side

Difference is getPlayerCount returns int and getOnlinePlayers returns list

[vapid quest]

oh thank you a lot

typo local get_sneeze bodyDamage:getSneezeCoughTime();

missing the = so get_sneeze is initialised as nil

[thick prawn]

Does anyone here make mods? Looking for someone to create a custom mod for server.

Not for free either lol

[drifting ore]

Good spot, it still throws the same error. though. it "partially" works by making the character sneeze 24/7

[median mantle]

Doesn't setSneezeCoughTime have only one parameter?

[drifting ore]

setSneezeCoughTime public void setSneezeCoughTime​(int int1)

[covert carbon]

does anybody know where the code is for clothing condition and how to set holes in clothing?

[vapid quest]

public void setSneezeCoughTime(int SneezeCoughTime)

[drifting ore]

wait, so its 1 parameter?

[bronze yoke]

you're confused - int1 is the name of the int

[median mantle]

Yes, it has one parameter, but you put 2 args in your codes

[drifting ore]

oh dang it, i thought it was two parameters

[sour island]

In java the type of the arg is written out

[tulip cipher]

we out here using k, v in pairs like a clown 🤡

finally its infinitely expandible and will only use two k, v in pairs

[sour island]

Im troubled that you're using k in the second one

[tulip cipher]

WE BALL

[sour island]

everyone hated that

[bronze yoke]

ehh, if it's a load time event the performance penalty of pairs really doesn't matter very much

if it makes the code prettier i wouldn't avoid it for stuff like this

[sour island]

Wait, if the keys and values are 1 to 1 why not use a keyed table?

[tulip cipher]

its changing every item the client wants in sections to whatever weight they want, regardless of other settings :D

[tulip cipher]

because im new to lua and have no idea what you are on about magic man... (THATS A THING???)

this took 2h...

[sour island]

You can make a table with string keys, like

Multipliers = {foodmulti=multiplier}

[tulip cipher]

(THIS ISNT CODE USED BY ZOMBIOD)

bruh

its that simple....

[bronze yoke]

or just my_table["Table Key"] = "Table Value"

[covert carbon]

Does anybody know the code for clothing getting ripped or holes put in them

[bronze yoke]

if it's a string with no spaces or weird characters you can do```lua
my_table = {
TableKey = "Table Value",
}
my_table.TableKey = "Table Value"

[tulip cipher]

you out here.... making me rewrite it all.... because you simply know more - hats off honestly

i need to rewrite my code brb XD

[bronze yoke]

i'm a pretty huge fan of the table.key syntax but i understand a lot of people don't like it

[sour island]

Sorry my pseudo code is bad, just had to stand out in like 95F weather

[tulip cipher]

i feel ya - was talking code in 27c... wasnt fun or accurate

[sour island]

🤽‍♂️

[sour island]

I learned using the text macro (if it's called that) -- I do prefer it for legibility with emmyLua but at the same time it's not needed

I usually use [""] for the top tier of the data, and straight var= for the inner

Also stuff like getModData().var looks so weird

[bronze yoke]

iirc a lot of people don't like it because it doesn't look like an array access like it would in another language, and prefer to only use it with pseudoclass properties

which makes sense, and having rules is likely more legible, but... i don't wanna

[tulip cipher]

soooo I would make a table, lets call it Keyed_Items_Multipliers
then I would add both the Item table and the multiplier? {WoodItems = woodWeightMultiplier, ...}

ive tried to make it very easy to understand but im heatstroked so...

[sour island]

Just to clarify, you have settings for each category of item?

[tulip cipher]

yes

every category has its own mult - settable by the client

[vapid quest]

is it possible to make gui without java?

if yes how to make gui

i want just a small black box

[vapid quest]

and with enums

and buttons

[tulip cipher]

wait i can just do a multi-dimensional array - so ill start with making two arrays (array 1, Type ; array 2, Multiplier), adding 5 key-value pairs (5 keys to the first and 5 values) then call them both separately but call the same index?

[sour island]

You can

It if it's one to one that may not be necessary

You can also make either key or value a table in of itself

But then things get wild

[tulip cipher]

basically i have

• multipliers
• type of item

so basically 2 things

[vapid quest]

i found a mod for developers that help make ui https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2760035814

[tulip cipher]

so that woodWeightMultiplier goes hand in hand with WoodItems

[crystal terrace]

Yes either that or make item type as index of your main table

[sour island]

You can do

table = {key = {var1, var2, var3}}``` where table.key[1] would be used to access the data. Or ```lua
 table = {key = {a=var1, b=var2}}``` Where you'd use table.key.a to get var1.

[tulip cipher]

little issue ive read up on it, and i just dont get the syntax

[sour island]

Everything is tables in Lua

There is no classes, only table

[tulip cipher]

yeah

[sour island]

You can make the category the keys

And the values = to the multipliers

Then when you're applying the changes to items

Multipliers[item.category] would get the associated value/multipliers

You should not need to use for() basically ever unless the order is important

And in associated pairs there is no order

[tulip cipher]

so basically its two sperate arrays that are just using the same index and lua combines them?

[crystal terrace]

I can't find a GitHub link for making GUI. But if you can search through earlier texts, might be able to find it.

[sour island]

Effectively you could say that, but no?

It's 1 list

[tulip cipher]

1 list... 1 pointer value... finds 2 values?

[sour island]

In Lua the index is the "key"

[vapid quest]

https://github.com/MrBounty/PZ-UI_API

[tulip cipher]

should just use pointer XD sorry

[sour island]

If the keys are not numeric from 0 to n then you can't actually iterate over them

You can make keys anything other than a number

[crystal terrace]

Ye I think that's the one

[sour island]

You can even make keys or values functions given they're not called

Cause even functions are stored in a table to call on

[tulip cipher]

hmmm

[sour island]

When ever you call on a table and supply a key it will grab the associated value

A clean way to check if somethng is in a table is to actually fill the keys with the intended thing, and fill the values with true

Otherwise you're stuck using for()

Which isn't that big of a deal, bug depending on how often you need to do it - or how long the list is - it can be a bad idea

I'm very lazy, so I'll write a table normally with as little typing as possible and include a for() running when the Lua loads to assemble the list of trues

[vapid quest]

how to check is player a creator of MP?

[sour island]

isHost()?

[vapid quest]

public boolean isHost(long steamID)

then how to know steamid?

[sour island]

Check IsoPlayer class file

[vapid quest]

found one

public long getSteamID()

so i should use getSpecificPlayer(index):getSteamID()?

[sour island]

You get use getPlayer() if you're not interested in co-op

Which is the same as getSpecificPlayer(0)

[vapid quest]

i asked how to check the creator of MP so logically i'm interested in co-op

is it possible to create new command?

[sour island]

Co-op is not the same thing as MP though. It's split screen, coops max player is 4.

[vapid quest]

oh sorry, dont know it

[keen silo]

@sour island I'm trying to make a mod that makes your character model fat when you are over a certain bodyweight. I have all the clothing models, with a fat version. the problem I have is that if I change the naked model, It will affect all players and zombies.

Is there a way to tell which models to use when for which characters?

[sour island]

You can make the fat model a clothing

[tardy wren]

Possibly there is

Authentic Z does have fat zombies

[bronze yoke]

co-op is often used to refer to in-game hosted multiplayer

there's no consistency with the terms

[tardy wren]

I have ran into a conundrum

I've been trying to organize my code into modules, but now... I am worried

In one mod, I have this code

Daikon =  Daikon or {
    ApocalypseBiofuels = {

    }
}
return Daikon

in a different mod, I have this code

Daikon =  Daikon or {
    SandboxOptionsSyncing = {

    },
    Commands = {

    },
    CommandHandlers ={

    }
}
return Daikon

Will they conflict somehow?

[bronze yoke]

no

it's not really modular if you use a global table though

well it is but it sort of misses the point

oh wait, yes

these do conflict 😅

[keen silo]

wouldn't the item be visible?

[bronze yoke]

if you do it like```lua
Daikon = Daikon or {}
Daikon.SandboxOptionsSyncing = {}

but if you define the table's contents using the or statement, if it already exists nothing will be added

[sour island]

It will conflict in that one won't be accessible?

[tardy wren]

One will be overwritten

[sour island]

Not overwritten - never used

[bronze yoke]

not written in the first place

[sour island]

First come first use
