?

#

because it reduces the chance by 60%?

#

wait no it wouldn't, because you're decreasing the chance it hits rather than hits

#

ok yup that makes sense

#

anyone know where they're pulling the RNG generator?

#

is it inbuilt to lua or java or are they using another source?

sour island
#

it's just math next and math random

ok I'll dig into a little later...Thanks again @sour island @bronze yoke ๐Ÿ˜€

Can someone make a wheelchair mod which bounds you to a wheelchair and you cant drive or go up stairs or climb over fences. Just feels like a cool challange. Idk if it's even possible to make but would like to see it lol

who knows where the code of the map with notes is located? I want to create a mod that spawns a container in a random place and marks it on the map

#

I can set sandbox options for loot tables that just work aside from zeds. This is an example mod to track what that issue is. It has sandbox options for what items should be added to the general zed inventorymale and inventoryfemale tables.

These 2 items in the pic are set in my sandbox options and appear in LootZed but neither of them will spawn.

Here is a snippet: https://hst.sh/nuvaninebi.lua

Also, if it matters, I am testing on a server.

i'm trying to add a second language to the mod i'm making (learning how to...) and i don't know why it doesn't work.
I've added files under media\lua\shared\Translate\ES
Can anyone point me a decent tutorial or something? couldn't find anything not from 2014 xD

is there a way to make code not work if mod dependancies are not present? my mod doesn't strictly require them to work but i don't want them to function at all without them

bronze yoke
# 
local activatedMods = getActivatedMods()

if activatedMods:contains("DependencyModID") then

end
#

if the dependent code is in a separate file from other code you could use an early return to be a bit cleaner

drifting ore
#

so that code prevents the rest of the file from being run? very nice thank you!

#

thank you both

bronze yoke
#

if you want to prevent the rest of the file you'd use then return end at the end of the if statement (this won't work inside a function as it'll just exit the function instead of the file)

#

otherwise you put the code you only want to run if the mod is present between the then and end

I try to execute code after the following function from ISInventoryTransferAction.lua is called.
function ISInventoryTransferAction:transferItem(item)
My approach is the following
`
SoulMod.ISInventoryTransferAction.transferItem_orig = ISInventoryTransferAction.transferItem
function SoulMod.ISInventoryTransferAction:transferItem(item)
SoulMod.ISInventoryTransferAction:transferItem_orig(item)

-- code goes here

end
ISInventoryTransferAction.transferItem = SoulMod.ISInventoryTransferAction.transferItem
I get the following error
function: transferItem -- file: ISInventoryTransferAction.lua line # 444 | Vanilla
Line 444 --> if self:isAlreadyTransferred(item) then
Error --> attempted index: items of non-table: null.
`
I think something happens with the self variable. When make this call with dot-functions instead of colon-functions I works without problems.

As for my knowledge in LUA goes the following is the same (or maybe not):

function ISInventoryTransferAction:transferItem(item) function ISInventoryTransferAction.transferItem(self, item)

Can someone give me a hint? Or is there a better way?

Hello everyone! I've started modding a couple of days ago and for now i created some items(weapons) and made translation to a second language but i'm missing something with a recipe. The problem is that i can make it require hammer or axe but not saw or canopener for example... Any thing am i missing? Thanks!

In the example basically i want players to turn a stop sign into the weapon i've created, but i want them to need saw for the process

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Base.Saw doesn't work, keep Saw doesn't work, keep Saw/GardenSaw doesn't work, keep Base.Saw doesn't work, i've tested multiple ways, but doesn't work

recipe Create stop sign weapon
{
Moveables.street_decoration_01_0/Moveables.street_decoration_01_1/Moveables.street_decoration_01_2/Moveables.street_decoration_01_3,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Base.Saw],

    Result:StopSign,
    Sound:Sawing,
    Time:200.0,
    Prop1:Saw,
    AnimNode:SawLog,       
}

keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Saw]

#

keep [It'sFunctionInLua]

function Recipe.GetItemTypes.Saw(scriptItems)

end```
#

return scriptItems like all items with tag "Saw"

It works with Hammer, not with Saw ๐Ÿ˜…

omg I finally finished my Hoshino from Blue Archive outfit mod for Zomboid yay!!

#

i was wondering if it was possible to make a mod that allows zombies to use weapons, but in a way more simple way
my idea was to have it only be visual (at least for now) and just replace the attachment points for "stuck" weapons in zombies to be their hands instead of their bodies, so it looks like they are holding them

#

mainly, i was just wondering how difficult that would actually be.
i mean, im pretty sure Authentic Zeds did it before on a few zombies, but id like to do that on the vanilla zombies too. i just have to figure out how

tardy wren
plucky nova
tardy wren
#

Well... Then likely yes

plucky nova
#

well, would you have any idea how to go about doing this?

#

because no other mod ive seen has done this yet

tardy wren
#

Hmm, no, not really

#

I haven't touched zombies yet

#

I think you can modify the attachment points for weapons stuck in zombies

#

Or have them be part of their outfit

plucky nova
#

i just need to figure out how to do it...

tardy wren
#

you have the docs, right?

plucky nova
#

actually no

#

what docs?

#

alright then, im gonna have to check this out

Hey hi, is there a way to edit existing UI elements through LUA?

#

I'd like to make some changes to the visuals of the skill overview, for example.

plucky nova
#

i think you should ask the creator of that mod about it

pulsar rock
#

I see

#

Thanks for the heads-up

#

I'm trying to find where this menu is created, if you have any idea:

My mod is very simple, still makes the game load slow and i have to wait on "this is how you die" as i click and nothing happens, i have to let the screen fade alone so i can join the game. Anyone knows why it takes so long for 2 items and recipes? No code yet

pulsar rock
#

Have you compared with and without the mod?

#

Is it the only mod enabled?

#

Have you checked logs?

shrewd sable
#

Yes, obly thing i've seen related to my mod is a "base imports itself" error. Removed th import and still slow. It's like the click to continue screen is behind the "this is how yo died" and until it fades you just can't click. The message doesn't appear

#

But i got another weird thing... I've created a recipe that allows to require a hammer but doesn't work with a saw

#

I'm about to suffer a stroke trying to understand what's going on... I'm not new to game dev, but the randomness of this problem is driving me mad

#

Hello everybody โญ
I would like to make computers in project Zomboid lootable with loot inside.
Do someone knows how to do this ?
Use TileZ to edit the existing computer tiles ?
Use a script to transform this tile on a game start ?
Please let me know ๐Ÿ™‚

shrewd sable
#

overwrite the computer item making it be a container? i'm not sure but i think it's the way, just create a new container with computer script and make a placeable object (i'm telling you this as if i know how to do it xD)

#

Can anyone explain me this please? Why saw is not required? It works with the hammer and axe but not with saws and canopener for example... Tried different ways like Base.Saw, Saw/GardenSaw, etc. For me it's totally random, am i missing something?

tranquil kindle
shrewd sable
#

i don't mind at this point if it's consumed or not, as it never appear on the list. The reference to saw is broken somehow and i don't understand why

tranquil kindle
#

Its used in vanila, it should work with any saw/hammer that is added by other mods that are tagged properly.

shrewd sable
#

if i do keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Saw], it will not work...

#

Saw is like an item that doesn't exist... Why? i don't know but i'm finding this the second day of modding

#

any example with hammer works, any example with saws or other tools (some of them) not

#

didn't touch any original script or files from the game so... Why is this happening? xD

tranquil kindle
#

recipe Create shovel
{
Plank,
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Saw],
keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer],
Result:Shovel,
Time:100,
}
can you try this?

shrewd sable
#

also the game is starting pretty slow with just 2 recipes and items... i don't understand Let me try this

tranquil kindle
#

remember " , " as it will break the recipe

#

if its missing, aswell as big or small letters do matter aswell.

shrewd sable
#

doing the keep [Recipe.GetItemTypes.Hammer], accepts all kinds of hammer, but it's ignoring the F* saw ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

And that's the result, as you can see it just ignores saws

shrewd sable
#

Would be funny if it wouldn't be taking all my patience ๐Ÿ˜„

tranquil kindle
#

Do you use any other mods?

shrewd sable
#

no, i'm testing only with mine

#

but maybe i should delete them all in case they're cause some conflict

tranquil kindle
#

i just used that code and it works

shrewd sable
#

interesting

#

i've deleted all and write only that, just for checking

tranquil kindle
#

Do you perhaps override saws in your mod aswell?

shrewd sable
#

nope i just use them as a tool to craft weapons from urban props, like a stop sign xD

#

i don't plan to change any vanilla stuff, just require them to craft my recipes to get my items, it's a very simple mod, nothing fancy

#

cause i'm trying to learn, specially why this is happening right now? xD

tranquil kindle
#

Just to be sure, you dont have your mod uploaded and subscribed and then changing things in your local files?

#

I remember i was trying to fix bug for a few hours only to realize i had my mod subbed on steam ,so changes in local files did not work untill i unsubbed

shrewd sable
#

so... i think i've somehow break the game, reinstall may help

#

ok, unsubbing xD

#

if that's the solution i owe you a beer

#

it's fucked up, going to reinstall

tranquil kindle
#

before that

#

See if any recipe that requires Saw works for you

shrewd sable
#

i checked and it doesn't

#

my recipe script only contains your code, and it shows the same, no saw required so i'm reinstalling

#

but i'm gonna make sure it removes all the files before reinstall

abstract raptor
#

asking for a fren -- is there a way to add our own shader to the game similar to water for a different tile?

bronze yoke
#

you can add your own shaders, but i don't know anything about tiles, so i can't promise you can do anything with them specifically

#

but there is modded shader support for models at least

abstract raptor
#

Yeah, what's the process like for adding my own shader?

shrewd sable
#

ok, reinstalled, checked without mods and some recipes required saw,ok all fine.
Added my mod tested and it's the same, so it's 100% my mod (good to know)
Without mods, after fresh reinstall the game still makes me wait until the "this is how your died" screen fades, as clicking doesn't do anything...
WTF did i write to mess it all up? Gonna be more careful ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

bronze yoke
#

you just need to drop a fragment and vertex shader in the shaders folder with matching names

#

GLSL shaders

abstract raptor
#

Interesting. So for instance

#

lets say I got a lava tile.

#

I wanna do exactly the same thing as the water shader, and draw it on top of the lava tile

#

but with different shader more optimized for that lava look

bronze yoke
# bronze yoke

just had a quick look and it looks like only vehicle shaders have _static versions, so it's probably specific to vehicles

#

the limitation would be if tiles let you set a shader for them, i have no idea

#

but i do know that custom shaders will be loaded by the game, basically

abstract raptor
#

Hmm yeah I'm doing lots of searchin' but I can't find where the logic of it being applied to just the blends_natural_02 tiles

tiny wolf
#

and by editing which file ?

shrewd sable
#

Not sure, but try to find the computer if here: https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Appliances#Communication I've checked and the computer isn't implemented so you can write you own instance of a container, with the computer sprite, there's a variation with the screen turned on, so you can develop a whole system on that

Appliances
shrewd sable
#

ok After a reinstall and some tests it all works fine. Thanks!
The game still makes me wait until "this is how you die" screen fades on the first play don't know why

#

Is there any way to refer to a broken tool? I wanted to use an axe with 0 durability as an ingredient for a recipe but can't find how

fast galleon
abstract raptor
fast galleon
#

water tiles, those are set as IsoWater type

IsoFlagType.water

Update:
I forgot water is abnormal. Besides the water flag, the game also uses the IsoWaterGeometry which disables normal sprite rendering for "blends_natural_02" among other things.

abstract raptor
#

You think you're being helpful, but what I'm saying is I can't find the code that STATES that, where it's decided in lua, if it is. It doesn't seem to be, no indication. Just cuz it says IsoWater doesn't automagically make the logic for things that are water to be water, the code probably assigns that value somewhere and that's what I can't find.

bronze yoke
#

i would doubt it would be in lua, rendering stuff is generally totally locked off

fast galleon
abstract raptor
#

yeah that was my worry.

#

I'm still dumb and can't seem to figure out what the anchor params do for UI Elements, does anyone know what they do?

#

I'm messing around with UI stuff and I feel like I should know what they do

bronze yoke
#

when the parent changes size, it will move along with that edge

lean reef
#

And the resize widget in the collapsablewindow class is anchored both the right and left, so does it stretch to both sides when that happens?

#

or well, when the edge changes

bronze yoke
#

yep! it stretches so that the gap between it and the edges stays the same as it was before

lean reef
#

Cool! Thank you! Using anchors seems like a far smarter way of doing things than the way I've been doing it lol

#

Ive just been constantly resizing things to the parent dimensions

#

I'm gonna have to keep doing that for some things, because I'm trying to render things that follow an element but are outside or stretch beyond that element, and I dont think there's a way to make a child able to ignore a parent's bounds so they have to not be parented

shrewd sable
#

Is there any way to insert a little wait/delay between steps in a recipe while being crafted? I would love to use different props and sounds during the crafting

sour island
shrewd sable
#

Awesome

sour island
#

lean reef
#

omg that looks excellent!

#

you're storing the deck's card order in its modData, right?

pulsar rock
#

Is this open source? Would love to learn from this tbh.

sour island
shrewd sable
#

why the sound loops when crafting a vanilla recipe but not when i'm crafting mine?

sour island
#

Still working on it, not ready for official release

lean reef
sour island
#

aw, thank you ๐Ÿ˜…

#

Incase you haven't looked at it recently, I redid the UI window to use textures rather than UI elements for each item

lean reef
#

Ooo, will do! Thanks for letting me know!

sour island
#

This was super satisfying to make

ProjectZomboid64_2023-09-29_18-34-35.gif
#

All using textures - it identifies which card or which spot inbetween cards is being moused over using math

#

Even supports scrolling - although seems like the name plate is in need of a tweak lol

pulsar rock
#

@sour island I'm wondering why you have some objects defined as globals, and some as locals? I'm not super familiar with LUA beyond scripting (I come from C++ & Python, for frame of reference). Example being gameNight - window.lua having gameNightWindow be global, while for example deckActionHandler in gameNight - deckActionHandler.lua is defined as local.

sour island
#

The UI in vanilla is global

#

I could probably make those local to make them more safe to use

pulsar rock
#

Ah, it's purely because you're subclassing?

sour island
#

But I honestly didn't want to shake out bugs with unforseen issues

pulsar rock
#

Gotcha, okay. Thanks for the insight!

sour island
#

np

pulsar rock
#

This is some dang impressive work.

sour island
#

TY, I hope it's easy to follow ๐Ÿ˜…

#

I'm hoping people pick it up and run with it to add various games

pulsar rock
#

I'm wondering what your development method is? Did you pre-plan this / make some architectural designs? Or did you just throw yourself at it?

sour island
#

A little bit of everything

#

I knew I wanted to make the vanilla game items supported - while also keeping it being a framework in mind

pulsar rock
#

I haven't taken a deep dive into the games yet, but are they properly scripted? Or are they "just" functional in a way that allows players to enforce the rules manually?

#

Like, are game rules tracked and enforced by the scripts, is basically my question.

sour island
#

The latter, it would be alot more work for myself, and anyone trying to build on it otherwise

pulsar rock
#

Fair enough

#

I figured

#

It'd be low key insane to program Catan / Monopoly in LUA tbh

sour island
#

It's basically tabletop simulator - I added hooks to allow for adding more functions to items like flipping pieces and such

pulsar rock
#

Very nice

sour island
#

The 3 add-ons I'm working on will also showcase how to make one's own add-on

#

Might have to pivot some mechanics to handle money better - as it would be a giant pile of items otherwise

#

I already have a mechanic for money with my shops mod

#

That's basically my workflow - build something with expansion in mind, then expand it lol

lean reef
sour island
#

I'm not sure if it can be local, might be worth a try

lean reef
pulsar rock
#

Looking at it, you grab textures based on the card names?

#

Or, well, items in a "deck"

sour island
pulsar rock
#

Definitely makes it simple for modders to add stuff tbh

sour island
#

The other game pieces are standard items outside of some script manipulation

#

Tedious copy pasting is something I try to avoid lol

pulsar rock
#

It seems, at its core, to create a new minigame you really only need a list of strings representing a standard deck, and then add it to the deck cataloger?

#

And then the textures, of course

sour island
#

Yes, for decks

#

Otherwise you just provide some item scripts, textures, and register the items for game pieces

#

Card games are much easier to implement

pulsar rock
#

Beyond this, you can add some additional logic for sound, special cards that can be rotated (and possibly have other actions?), and game boards?

sour island
#

Yes, cards are their own type of system but they can utilize the game piece systems

sand harbor
#

Is there any sort of event which lets you get and modify any sounds a player makes? (for instance, when a player generates sound check to see if they're swinging a weapon and reduce the amount of sound)

fast galleon
#

Actually, it probably would be best to make a derived custom one, you probably would need more than a few changes.

#

Or make it multi-stage.

shrewd sable
#

Well, thank you but as i'm starting i think i will let it for later. Or maybe i should jump into lua so i can start doing more complex stuff, where should i start?

fast galleon

#

I'm on the wiki checking yes, but didn't find the way to require a broken axe for a recipe instead of an axe with durability

#

i can allow broken items, but i want to allow only broken items

fast galleon
#

you could add a test function

shrewd sable
#

don't know how to add functions ><

fast galleon
shrewd sable
#

The thing is that i'm a bit lost on that, let me ask a couple of dumb questions first xD

I place the functions in files on the lua folder right? client/server/shared depending on something i ignore for now.
So then i can call those function through recipes?

fast galleon
#

that's right. That's where lua files go. You will need to make a global function with that name. Often those are added to the Recipe table, this means the lua file should be in the server folder.

shrewd sable
#

Ok thank you very much, i'm starting to understand. I know C# and i've been developing with Unity 6 years but i'm totally new to lua and modding this xD

#

I'll try some stuff tomorrow and see if i can start learning the way to communicate with Zomboid as i've done with Unity so i can create an awesome mod

Does anyone know why the player character lua code, like traits and professions, is stored in the file labeled "NPC" ie non-player character?
I've been curious about this for a while now

oh wait

is it not?

#

have i been mistaken

#

No it is

#

MainCreationMethods.lua is where its at

#

It doesn't, like, change anything obviously, its just the folder name

#

im just curious

#

Also, I have a very vague memory of reading somewhere that instead of making a bunch of global variables for a mod, you should instead make one single global variable that's a table that you put all your other intended global variables into for optimization reasons/not cluttering the global variable pool
Is this, like, a real thing or is my brain making this up? Like should I be doing this?

I know the bare minimum of programming and somewhat of how it works I just don't know how to apply it and how to use it in the game code

I've only just gotten into modding, but the first and, in my opinion, most important part is having a strong idea of what you actually want to make

Once you've done that, look up tutorials for things that are close enough to your mod, like for example if you wanna make a new hat item, look up how to make zomboid hat mod and if you dont find anything try searching zomboid clothing mod, so on and so on

#

once you find the closest guide for your mod, follow it up until it no longer works for your idea and figure out why it doesn't work for your idea and dig deeper into more resources or references

#

By the time you've followed one guide, you probably have learned enough during that journey to find tools or resources for whatever else you need to work on

#

Obviously, it depends on your idea and the scope of that idea, this is just the path that I took (and the path I'm still currently taking lol)

#

if your idea has a really large scope, you may one to single out what you think is the easiest element or sub-idea of your main idea

it by no means teaches you everything you'll need to know for something really complicated, but it got me on the right path for understanding the basics of how zedscript and lua works and what keywords to search or look for

topaz nebula
#

Heard I appreciate it I don't know exactly what I wanna do but I know I wanna do a sort of crafting overhaul I think

#

Or something to emphasize the crafting in the game

lean reef
#

Well I'd certainly look into the recipe system then! The tutorial I posted actually goes into the basics of creating a recipe script as well as making a lua file to program more advanced recipe code!

#

Oh! Also I'd recommend downloading mods that work with similar concepts and looking through their file structure and code to get an idea of the solutions or ideas other people have found

topaz nebula
#

Oh sick I'll take a look into the video and I was just thinking about how I should mess around with some mods and possibly see if I could get inspiration on what I'd like to do

lean reef
#

I can't remember if the video goes into looking at other mods or if they just look at their own past mods, but if it doesn't you'll find mods you install from the workshop in your Steam folder under "steamapps\workshop\content\108600" and they'll be listed according to their workshop ID

#

using one global instead of many is good, but you can just use none instead

#

keeping things completely local and modular makes things much less tangled and avoids both name conflicts and the performance cost of the global namespace

#

globals are slow, messy and there's almost never a reason to use them

#

only case i can think of is for functions referenced by scripts, they can't interact with modules so those functions do need to be global

lean reef
#

I suppose I should be looking more into lua modules! Thank you for the info!

bronze yoke
#

the basic idea is to put everything you want to be accessible in a local table, and then return the table at the end of the file

#

other files can use require(filename) to grab a reference to that table

lean reef
#

Fascinating! I've been wondering why I've been seeing return functions like that at the bottom of files but didn't know how to look up why!

bronze yoke
#

yeah, files are essentially functions and require grabs the return value

#

minor note is that pz has a custom implementation of require that doesn't support multiple return but that's niche

lean reef
#

I'm looking at an online thing explaining lua modules and it gives the example of:


function mymath.add(a,b)
   print(a+b)
end
-- Other stuff

return mymath
#

is the function mymath.add also local because its apart of a local table?

bronze yoke
#

yeah! it only exists as part of that table

lean reef
#

Alright great!

#

Now knowing this has probably saved me from a loooot of mistakes and optimization work in the future

bronze yoke
#

yeah, unfortunately the pz code never does this so it's something most modders don't learn until much later

lean reef
#

Yeah, my reference for what I've been working on was the "forageDefinitions" file and it stores its forageDefaultDefs table globally despite the fact that files that utilize it usually have to require forageDefinitions anyway for the functions to actually use those default defs

#

though I suppose I dont know enough about lua to say that for certain

bronze yoke
#

i often think about the utopia we would live in if lua defaulted variables to being local and instead had a global keyword

lean reef
#

Thank you for all the insights! I'll see if I can put them to good use!

    tooltip4.description = getText("Tooltip_craft_compostDesc") .. tooltip4.description;
    tooltip4:setTexture("camping_01_19");

#

after canBuild(5,4,0,0,0,2)

#

i wonder if it is possible to manually change them by just typing "string" instead of those 0s or would that give off error...

#

I'm not at pc to check, but what is the main purpose of this, just to trigger the say lines? I thought door would stay locked in vanilla if the lock is broken.

verbal yew
#

button up this script:

function ISVehicleMenu.onToggleTrunkLocked(playerObj)
    local vehicle = playerObj:getVehicle();
    if not vehicle then return end
    sendClientCommand(playerObj, 'vehicle', 'setTrunkLocked', { locked = not vehicle:isTrunkLocked() });
end
#

Basically, there are no methods in the game to break the lock on the trunk door.

#

another door's - yep

#

When they are broken - the door widget turns yellow when some door cannot be closed (because the lock is broken)

#

standart doors have check for lock state:

function Commands.setDoorLocked(player, args)
    local vehicle = getVehicleById(args.vehicle)
    if vehicle then
        local part = vehicle:getPartById(args.part)
        if not part then
            noise('no such part '..tostring(args.part))
            return
        end
        if not part:getDoor() then
            noise('part ' .. args.part .. ' has no door')
            return
        end
        if not part:getDoor():isLockBroken() then
            part:getDoor():setLocked(args.locked)
        end
        --vehicle:toggleLockedDoor(part, player, args.locked)
        vehicle:transmitPartDoor(part)
    else
        noise('no such vehicle id='..tostring(args.vehicle))
    end
end
#

but not trunk:

function Commands.setTrunkLocked(player, args)
    local vehicle = player:getVehicle()
    if vehicle then
        vehicle:setTrunkLocked(args.locked)
    else
        noise('player not in vehicle')

Hi! I'm working on a small mod and I'm trying to differentiate zombie types I have in my mod by assigning them outfit.

Now, everything works completely fine in singleplayer (as I can easily set them and refresh them every hour to make sure all the outfits are correct) but this starts to give problems in MP, rightfully so, as I know nothing about networking. May I ask any of you kind souls to give me some advice on how to sync these? Zombie types and all of that syncs well as I'm testing on some already-working code (in private) but I can't manage to make outfits work together. Thank you.

Zombie stats syncing works fine in MP (even if I still have some issues understanding some parts of it), outfits work fine in SP but I Just Need to get them to work to Sync in MP. As of now, stuff works fine but clients get different outfits while they should load the same (I have different outfits for different zombie types based on their stats and skills)

@verbal yew Thank you a lot! It is indeed what I'm trying to work on right now and I must say your method is probably what would work best.
Currently your method revolves around "use whatever zombie distribution the server has done about outfit and then set zombie types on that", while mine works the other way around "take whatever zombie types the server has set and dress the zombies". Yours probably works better as it leaves outfit syncing to the server, I'll see what I can manage to do and let you know, thanks!

As you do:
zombie:dressInPersistentOutfit(outfit)
zombie:resetModel()

While I do:

z:reloadOutfit()

really no clue about the methods difference

I must say after testing I found no difference between

zombie:dressInPersistentOutfit(outfit)

What do i have to take into account when creating a new movable object?
I've written a recipe and an item as result. Copying the structure of a mod that places stuff. Anything that i'm missing? does it have to be in a .pack file?
I can craft the item, but game doesn't let me place it, it tell me "Moveable not valid" and "Cannot create recipe for this movable object: X"

#

Does it need a "placing" recipe?

campfires are a special case

#

too complex to make a new instance with other settings?

if you're not adding new features it shouldn't be too complex

#

i want to create a new campfire with other sprite variation (on/off) and if possible to adjust temperature. That way i can create a recipe that is cooked above certain heat only achievable(?) through this new campfire

#

and the recipe would require proximity to this movable object, so it's the only way to prepare some stuff

sounds factible?

good, so i'll keep researching ๐Ÿค“ Thanks!

#

Would be good to find the campfire to study it xD

#

thanks

#

as for placing your item, you either need to make the sprite moveable or copy / use the build cursor of the campfire and make a different item for it.

I've read all those scripts and more or less i understand the functions and the behaviours but now i don't know if i should call those functions from my own "campfire-oven" script, how many of them do i need for my item and how all of this work. I want to keep trying to learn but somehow it's frustating as i know how to do it all in Unity with C# and it's like going back in time 8 years pffff
Don't want to bother, but i have to ask for a little help so i can start propperly modding by myself

Generator's are pretty javasided as far as the isoObjects go - so probably not.

If you have decompiled code you can check the java file for IsoGenerator

Campfire uses global objects so that it can change data for all objects on the whole map even when they are not loaded.

Unfortunately most systems need you to overcome hardcoded code. Best you can do is hook or inherit with lua. Depending how many parts you need to change you will choose one or the other way.

For inheriting lua uses metatables, PZ has a shortcut called derive for lua classes.

It was a good idea to implement monopoly, I had to refactor the card system to allow for cards to share visuals/names but operate differently

#

Now people can use shared textures or names

#

So something like yugioh can just use the type colors

if I start executing a timed action and while the character is walking, that is, the action has not yet started, I can call the context menu again, and then, if I do not remove this context menu, start the action again if I try to call the context menu after the beginning of the action, then it will not appear as intended, but how can I implement it so that the context menu does not appear or it cannot be used more than once before the start of the action, while the character is walking?

# muted garnet if I start executing a timed action and while the character is walking, that is,...

There are 2 points where you always check if it's valid, first when they click and the other one during the action, action.isValid. There is also another one less used for when the actions is not added as first in line, it's action.isValidStart.

Another solution is to use luautils.walkAdj(playerObj, square, keepActions) on context click, when keepActions is false or nil then the actions queue is reset.

    local forestwalk = TraitFactory.addTrait("forestwalk", getText("UI_trait_forestwalk"), 0, getText("UI_trait_forestwalkdesc"), true);

i have UI text as well

    UI_trait_forestwalkdesc = "Test12",

im not sure if im missing anything, the way i understand, it can't find my trait, but it should. the syntax is correct. it works with other traits but not this one

does anyone know how to limit 'moderators' from accessing specific server commands?

rich void

Hello guys, 1_spiffowave real head scratcher here, if I could get some advice it would be greatly appreciated, I've really exhausted options and been struggling with grasping this for a good week..

I've been attempting to add some client-server communication to prevent a context option from being available if a flag is set to true, here is the relevant code.

Client Context triggers a function that is stored in the shared space

if TerritoryWarfareCapture.IsInProgress(controlPointID) then
        player:Say("A Territory War Event is in progress here.")
    elseif hasOwnFlagOnCorner then
        player:Say("We already control this territory")
    elseif playerFaction == winnerFaction then
        context:addOption("Start Territory War Event", worldObjects, function() startTerritoryWarEvent(controlPointID) end)
    else
        player:Say("It seems a little... too quiet here")
    end
 end

When the "startTerritoryWarEvent" is triggered we send the command to the server

function startTerritoryWarEvent(controlPointID)
  local args = {
    controlPointID = controlPointID,
    capturing = true -- Yes this is reduntant now
  }
  sendClientCommand("TerritoryWarfare", "CaptureStarted", args)
-- rest of the code

A timer completes and then we declare the winner

function declareWinner(controlPointID, winnerFaction)
  local args = {
      controlPointID = controlPointID,
      capturing = false -- Yes this is reduntant now
    }
  sendClientCommand("TerritoryWarfare", "CaptureCompleted", args)
-- rest of the code

This is the client command receiver which is running on the server side


-- Register server command receiver --server
function receiveClientCommandForTerritory(module, command, args)
  
    if module ~= "TerritoryWarfare" then return; end

    if command == "CaptureStarted" then
        sendServerCommand("TerritoryWarfare", "CaptureStarted", args)
        
    end

    if command == "CaptureCompleted" then
        sendServerCommand("TerritoryWarfare", "CaptureCompleted", args)
    end

end

Events.OnClientCommand.Add(receiveClientCommandForTerritory)

The command should then be passed back to all clients and is handled in a client script like so


-- Register client command receiver  --client
function receiveServerCommandForTerritory(module, command, args)
 
    if module ~= "TerritoryWarfare" then return; end
    
    if command == "CaptureStarted" then
        print("Received Command Capture Started!")
        TerritoryWarfareCapture.CapturingControlPoints[args.controlPointID] = true
    end

    if command == "CaptureCompleted" then
        TerritoryWarfareCapture.CapturingControlPoints[args.controlPointID] = nil
        print("Received Command Capture Finished")
    end

end

Events.OnServerCommand.Add(receiveServerCommandForTerritory)

As shown in the first code block during the context we run this utility return function from the shared space to see if the event is in progress to prevent overlapping events on the same control point

TerritoryWarfareCapture = {}
TerritoryWarfareCapture.CapturingControlPoints = {} -- Table to track ongoing capture events

--shared
function TerritoryWarfareCapture.IsInProgress(controlPointID)
    return TerritoryWarfareCapture.CapturingControlPoints[controlPointID] == true
end

Any hints at what might be going wrong here would be much appreciated, I've gone through some debug print statements to see if my commands are being received, no luck, can't make it passed the module check on either server nor client side. Cryflood

another way could be to subscribe to OnClothingUpdated and parse all worn clothes. It may look like overkill but OnClothingUpdated is pretty consistently called by vanilla (even though some parameters would have been welcome, wink! wink!) and may handle cases that are not otherwise (like Java calls you cannot hook). Else, there is always the OnPlayerUpdate if your algo is lightweight.

Been working on a simple mod, adds a drink. The textures for the drink are not showing up, it appears as a question mark in a bubble icon. Secondly it does not replace itself on use with the empty version of the item that I made. Anyone have any idea why this could be?

#

Thank you in advance

#

Best of luck to my fellow modders

bronze yoke
#

the most common reason for the icon not showing up is because of the Item_ prefix in the file name

#

this prefix is mandatory and automatically added

#

e.g. a texture Item_MyItem.png would be referenced as just MyItem in the script

#

i can't say what your issue is for sure without seeing anything but that one comes up here constantly

This is what I had last time I played and when I had the issues

To add clothing items to a vanilla outfit (or completely overwrite it), do you simply add the same vanilla guid to your clothing.xml?

random finch
#

Also, how does probability work in the case of subitems? I know it gives probability for the initial itemGUID, but how does it impact the subItems? Can you set a probability for each subItem?

<m_items>
            <probability>0.3</probability>
            <itemGUID>5fc22466-2942-4ba1-8c33-2a8528b73021</itemGUID>
            <subItems>
                <itemGUID>ce1a8520-7120-432e-8a3a-aa7b3094f0bb</itemGUID>
            </subItems>
            <subItems>
                <itemGUID>c7cc655b-284a-4087-85a6-d7c116385fb0</itemGUID>
            </subItems>
            <subItems>
                <itemGUID>0383956a-3fbd-4001-9749-69e2ba70b134</itemGUID>
            </subItems>
</m_items>
#

My assumption is that probability determines the chance for an item to be a slot in general then it rolls for the initial itemGUID and SubItems equally.

Attempting to overwrite a vanilla outfit breaks the outfit completely. Only the items you add work, even when leaving the entire outfit the same aside from the added items. Zed will spawn nude with only the new items.

There has to be another method todo this aside from overwriting the vanilla entry.

what's the best way to transmit mod data from one client (player) to another? I was thinking about using a combination of server and client commands but can that even return values?

bronze yoke
#

you can't 'return' something with a command, you have to send a response command with the values to 'return'

#

lua being single-threaded, waiting for a command to return something would freeze the game for at least twice as long as your ping is ๐Ÿ˜…

was hoping I could avoid the response command approach but guess it's the optimal way to go

Hallo, I wrote a script for my server to Automatically restart every 2 Hours because I didn't like my providers solution. For some reason it doesn't seem to work or even show up in the console when I yeet it into the scripts folder. Anyone know why?
First time i try to do this btw

# 
funcCache.ScriptItem = __classmetatables[Item.class].__index
#

Anybody know why this would ever return null form __classmetatables?

#

It works when I test it in singleplayer and multiplayer myself, but not on the test server

bronze yoke
#

does the test server use the same mods?

frank elbow
#

Are you testing it in isolation on the test server? & have you confirmed that the problem is that __classmetatables[Item.class] is nil?

tardy wren
#

The test server is stuffed with mods

bronze yoke
#

very specifically there are a couple mods that are known to overwrite Item

#

at which point Item.class is null and won't return anything in the classmetatables

tardy wren
#

... I did a folder-wide search and found only my mod do it

#

Well, access that class I mean

frank elbow
#

Folder-wide search for "Item.class", or "Item"?

tardy wren
#

Item.class

bronze yoke
#

look for Item

#

none of the offending mods were actually doing metatable stuff

tardy wren
#

and my folder, I mean my downloaded folder

#

...Huh

#

Match case and whole word only?

bronze yoke
#

yeah

#

the offending mods were using an item tweaking function which used a non-local Item to store the script item

tardy wren
#

I see

#

...Then maybe I can access the class in a different wat

#

...Oh you fucker Better Flashlight

#

from inside a local function

bronze yoke
#

if you can ensure your file runs first you can save Item to a local variable before they ruin things

#

so what is the best way to instantiate an items such as VHS or CDs?

tardy wren
bronze yoke
#

_G["Item"] is the same thing as Item

#

_G is just a way of explicitly referencing the global namespace

What if I try to access it with the full path?

I did several tests and it seems to happen when I use the "Survivalist" category but not when I create my own category. So when the perks.txt looks like below the error don't appear.

perk Primitive
{
    parent = None,
    translation = Primitive,
    passive = false,
    xp1 = 0,
...

perk PrimitiveCrafting
{
    parent = Primitive,
    name = PrimitiveCrafting,
    translation = PrimitiveCrafting,
    passive = false,
    xp1 = 50,
...

But what I wanted to do is:

perk PrimitiveCrafting
{
    parent = Survivalist,

The code seems to work even with the error on serverside (xp is added and the perk is shown under Survivalist).
Can I do something about the error? I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

I can find it in the translation files like I translate my perk/perk cat:

So I assume "Survivalist" is correct. For tests I tripled the Skill and I can add them where I want.

I just get the error on server side when Hosting or use my dedicated server (every time I add xp; but it works). In solo I get no error message. So it's kind of strange. I couldn't find any categories in the code except in some comments where all perks are listed.

in the perks.txt file? I add it and see what happens.

#

Wow, this fixed the error.
type = teststring,
But is this a bug? I didn't read anything about a needed type in the perks.txt.

verbal yew
#

perks factory trying call getType

#

getType is local6 and local6 is null

#

its your error

#

and it should be Type

#

as I say: not sure if this affects anything

Hey! What file/s would one need to tinker with to change how barricading with planks works? Just trying to make a simple thing that makes barricading require 4 nails per plank

In ISWorldObjectsContextMenu.lua I changed all instances of nails needed in barricading from 2 to 4, but that didn't seem to do anything. Will have to dive back in and see what's up

@tame mulch Hi there, have a question around brush tool

        local props = ISMoveableSpriteProps.new(IsoObject.new(square, sprite):getSprite())
        props.rawWeight = 10
        props:placeMoveableInternal(square, InventoryItemFactory.CreateItem("Base.Plank"), sprite)

Is that viable in multiplayer (aka persistent)? Seen there are some transmit* commands in ISMoveableSpriteProps class.
My point is to create a fully intact sprite object (with all sprite properties) in multiplayer from a server side.

How possible is messing around with how health and the health ui, i want to make a mod that converts it to be a lot more like mechanics, where you can install and uninstall parts

frank elbow
#

For the more general โ€œhealthโ€ part, I guess it depends on the amount of control you need, since some stuff is hardcoded. Generally, though, that sounds like it'd be feasible

lean oasis
#

Hmm, thank you. Ill look more into it when i get home

I had an idea for a mod, like an endgame mod, mainly that leads up to a server wipe where you have to find certain things in game (like keycards etc), go to a military facility, and use the items (as well as your weapons) to activate a nuclear device that would cause everyones screens to go white and kicks everyone until the server is wiped. Is this possible?

Hi! I'm new to modding and looking for guides and resources. I found this and thought I'd send update PRs as I learned stuff:
https://github.com/FWolfe/Zomboid-Modding-Guide

Thing is, the last update was about 10 months ago. Is this still relevant? Is there a better place to send contributions?

it's still pretty reliable

#

the game itself hasn't been updated in ten months so i wouldn't worry too much about anything in it being outright outdated

guess i'll have to tweak the attachment points somehow

#

is there a version/variant of Events.OnGameBoot that fires after lua files in server folder are loaded?

#

and whats the ideal event to load mod's sandbox vars?

@drifting ore For the question about how to get rid of Destroy option with sledgehammer. There is a scripted answer for that

local function addContext(player, context, worldobjects, test)
  -- whatever you need, then this 
  context:removeOptionByName(getText("ContextMenu_Destroy"));
end
Events.OnFillWorldObjectContextMenu.Add(addContext);

Simply removes option from menu.

You should be able to crawl in Zomboid. If zombies can do it, you should be able to do it as well

#

questions, is it possible to edit the colors of skill levels?

#

to idk red or something rather then yellow

manic relic
#

or how do I open a pack file

#

or the files in the texturepack folder

#

is there any specific tool for that?

bronze yoke
#

later events can be too late to change certain systems

What's going wrong? I have it typed the same as other mods that actually work.

Example of something that works.

#

Is it the spaces in the module name?

bronze yoke
#

it's probably the . in the module name

#

spaces do work iirc, though i would say they're probably bad practice

#

items/recipes/etc in modules are represented as Module.Name so having an extra . in there is going to confuse a lot of things

#

also comments should be marked like /* comment */, these /RECIPES/ comments are probably breaking it too

vague hedge
bronze yoke
#

you don't need the spaces

vague hedge
#

Ok

#

So looking at Hydrocraft's recipes, which is what I'm basing off of, do I need to have something besides just this:

.../media/scripts/Trading_Recipes.txt

#

Because all I have is the recipes file as I am not making new items

#

Also from what I have play tested, when I load up my mod and Hydrocraft/Tsar's Common Library 2.0, it breaks those two mods

bronze yoke
#

nah, just the one file should be good

vague hedge
#

Ok, next up..

#

Well now that I started PZ, it took away the logs, but I'll try to find it again

vague hedge
#

finding..

#

This

#

so I am trying to find out if the new hydrocraft changed the trading post name, but what I find curious is it stopped trying after going to the Heavy Vehicle parts. This was before I fixed the comments, so would that be why it gave up?

#

because I have more recipes after the heavy parts recipes

#

If anything, im gonna load up those 3 mods and see how it goes now

Hello, I'm trying to make zeds outfits for a mod but when I want to try it with the "spawn horde" from the debug but it appears without clothes, any advice?
Try this simple test but it doesn't work:

you either need to import it or reference it as Hydrocraft.HCTradingpost

vague hedge
bronze yoke
#

vague hedge
#

and Importing would look like this?

#

Ok, so game has loaded up, now I need to fix the import beccause it seems to break crafting

Searching through to see what went wrong..
