This is the best information I could find on the subject.

I also tried to change them in MapObjects.OnLoadWithSprite() thinking I could bypass whatever was happening in TileDefs with no luck...

Do you guys know if it is possible to add specific items to a profession? I mean, if you start selecting a specific profession, you have those items in the inventory.

Hi! The OnKeyPressed event has the parameter "key":

 -- something
end

Events.OnKeyPressed.Add(onKeyPressed)```
"key" is an integer encoding the actual key you pressed on the keyboard. For example, for my keyboard I have

key = 17 <--> W 
key = 30 <--> A 
key = 31 <--> S 
key = 32 <--> D 

Is this the same on for every PC? (I guess yes???) Moreover, what if the player changes key bindings? Will "key = 17" for example still mean that the player pressed the move-forward key? Or does it mean always that player presses W, no matter of the key binding?

I know I can figure out the second question by just testing it changing the key binding in my game but maybe someone here happens to know... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anyone know any mods that mess up foraging zones globally? I.e. overwrite modded foraging zones with vanilla? I'm desperately trying to find the cause for this (nothing obvious like ForagingZ is enabled)

I noticed that if you create a custom clothing, by copying one from the base game, using the same "ClothingItem" parameter adds it to the game distribution and you can find it in game.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening, without creating an entire cloth item from scratch?

#

I mean Definitions not Distribution

bright fog
steady lagoon
#

this is the test item I made:
item SuperTankTop
{
DisplayCategory = Clothing,
Type = Clothing,
DisplayName = Super Tank Top,
ClothingItem = Vest_DefaultTEXTURE_TINT,
BodyLocation = TankTop,
Icon = Vest_White,
BloodLocation = ShirtNoSleeves,
ScratchDefense = 100,
BiteDefense = 100,
RemoveOnBroken = false,
CanHaveHoles = false,
Insulation = 0.55,
Weight = 0,
WindResistance = 1,
WindResistance = 1,
FabricType = Cotton,
WorldStaticModel = BulletVest_Ground,
}

#

The clothingItem seems to be shared with the base tanktop

#

and it replaces it in game

#

isn't the ID, in this case, SuperTankTop?

#

ahno, that's the type

#

I added all those parameters to see the behaviour, but it replaced the one in game, as I see zombies wear this and I don't want to.

#

I wonder if I need to write, yet another lua script, to delete all items of this type from the world.

bright fog
steady lagoon
#

can I just change the name directly or should I create another xml file? I see that Vest_DefaultTEXTURE_TINT has a .xml file.

#

This xml also has its own GUID which is used in the file clothing.xml.

bright fog
steady lagoon
#

no no

bright fog
#

You need to create your own then yeah

steady lagoon
#

I see, let me try.

bright fog
#

For the GUID, use a GUID generator online

steady lagoon
#

should this GUID be added to the clothing.xml file or can I ignore that step?

bright fog
#

No idea

#

What's in clothing.xml ? That's the outfits ? Then no

This is my first time doing animations for Project Zomboid (and any game really) so I followed the Steam animation guide linked on pzwiki. I did everything correctly as listed but I am getting a warning in the lua console in game saying "Animation Clip not found: AQ_BrushTeeth". If anyone knows about this error, please let me know!

bright fog
#

BOb_RP or some shit like that, you need to rename that, it's this that defined the name of the animation clip

grizzled fulcrum
#

I may just be blind but I believe I have changed the name

bright fog
#

Did you restart your game when creating the animset with the animation clip ?

# grizzled fulcrum

I can't look at Blender rn so I can't verify that what it's supposed to look like but what I can tell you is that it's not where I change the name of the clip nor at it

that is odd

I opened ANIM_TEMPLATE.blend not IK_ANIM_TEMPLATE.blend

ANIM_TEMPLATE.blend for whatever reason contains IK_R_Calf and IK_R_Thigh entries but they aren't linked to anything and no IK stuff shows up for modelling

Use the IK model, why would use you use the non IK one ?

I thought it would be harder to animate lol

#

Ill reanimate it in IK model and come back

Do you need to do anything special to override vanilla recipes? Every attempt so far just seems to be ignored.

Nevermind, apparently I was editing the wrong function.

small topaz
#

When using commands like getTimestampMs() for getting the actual time the game is running, can't this result in overflow errors when the game is running for quite a long time?

coarse sinew
#

Nope, getTimestampMs() returns the current IRL time in milliseconds from the Unix epoch 1970. The long data type (type that function returns) in Java has a maximum value of 2^63-1, which means it can represent times up until about 292 million years from the epoch. So, overflow isn't a concern

vast orchid
#

Is there a way to edit entries in the vanilla (.txt) script files without fully overwriting said files? If there's no other option, what does one do for mod compatibility?
(Don't know if it's important to mention, but the files in question would be evolvedrecipes.txt and items_food.txt)

small topaz
# vast orchid Is there a way to edit entries in the vanilla (.txt) script files without fully ...

Not sure about the evolvedrecipes.txt but for items as in items_food.txt, you can use the following:


  local item = ScriptManager.instance:getItem("Base.MyItem")

  if item then
     item:DoParam("Weight = 5.0")
  end
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(changeMyItem)```
This shouldn't cause any mod conflicts (except for other mods which also modify the Weight parameter of the item or base their code on the expectation that it has a different value ofc).

function OverwriteEvolvedRecipes()

Does anyone have an idea what I could do to edit MaxItems? It's formatted like this:

MaxItems:6

Instead of like this in evolvedrecipes.txt

MaxItems = 6
#

The function on the top seems to be meant for overwriting parameters in the latter format, I tried adapting it, but no dice

small topaz
#

Is there a java command to check whether a worn clothing item is currently hidden by another one which has been defined via the body location command "setHideModel()".

I know you could easily find out by writing a custom function for this but I am wondering whether the game as a simple predefined command instead.

Is there a way to check whether the game is played with a controller instead of mouse and keyboard?

mellow frigate
small topaz
#

A second question if someone happens to know: How do I find out whether the player presses one of the walk forward/right/left/backwards keys? I know I can use Events like OnKeyPressed and then work with the parameter "key" somehow. For example "key = 17" means player pressed "W" and thus move forward with default key binding. BUT the problem is: if a player changes the key binding, "W" and thus "key = 17" may not mean that the player pressed the move-forward key. So how do I figure this out properly taking into account that the player may have changed the key binding?

grizzled fulcrum

#

So JoypadState.players[playerNum+1] returns true if the game is played via controller and false otherwise?

Problem is that I don't have a controller by myself and thus cannot playtest

there are also a handful of java joypad functions that are in lua but im not sure how effective they are and what they do (isJoypadConnected(int index))

#

Take my words with a grain of salt though, I am not the best with controller stuff and I never use controller on PZ

thick karma
#

@mellow frigate Sorry just saw this

#

I use this @small topaz

# 
    playerIndex = playerIndex or 0
    return JoypadState.players[playerIndex + 1]
end```
#

So if I need to get a specific player's data I can provide index, otherwise I can just go if ExampleModule.getJoypadData() then --> I know at least one gamepad user is connected

#

Also I can use playerIndex to get joypad data which for me often makes code look more intuitive... since joypad ids are offset 1 from player index.

small topaz
#

Do you know whether a command like
getCore():getKey("Forward")
also gives the numerical key value for a controller in case one is used?

Do vanilla files get overwriten if the name is the same of the vanilla file?
I am trying to get animations working and saw I need a player.xml file in media/AnimSets but I am not sure if my one will overwrite the vanilla one located at the same place.

bright fog
#

yes

grizzled fulcrum
#

I do not want to do that but if I do not specify my own name prefixes in the player.xml file, it wont recognise my action xml in media/AnimSets/player/actions so I am not sure how I will do it.

bright fog
grizzled fulcrum
#

yes

#

because I want all my files to be distinguishable from vanilla files (except for ones I must name the same like ContextMenu_EN.txt for translation

bright fog
#

I'm sorry but what action are you talking about ?

#

I'm fairly certain there's no need for that to make custom player animations

#

And mods that add custom animations are all compatible so you probably don't have to touch that action thing ?

grizzled fulcrum
#

It is an animation I made, xml file is at media/AnimSets/player/actions/AQ_BrushTeeth01.xml

bright fog
#

Yes but that won't replace anything ?

grizzled fulcrum
#

The guide pinned doesn't say to anywhere and I couldn't find a single person that has any info on this but my only time the anim clip got recognised is if I had a player.xml file

#

I am assuming the player.xml file represents the folder beside it (being media/AnimSets/player)

#

And if I did not include this file, it would complain that the anim clip wasn't found

bright fog
#

Where is that player file located ?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I presume this to be because my anim clip has prefix AQ_ and not Bob_ or Kate_ like the base game has it, and so I have to specify my custom prefixes.

bright fog
# 
<animSet>
    <animNodeFilter>
        <folderPrefixes>Bob</folderPrefixes>
        <folderPrefixes>Kate</folderPrefixes>

        <namePrefixes>Kate_</namePrefixes>
    </animNodeFilter>
</animSet>
grizzled fulcrum
bright fog
#

Why do you put a prefixe before ?

#

Don't put a prefixe and you won't have any issues

grizzled fulcrum
bright fog
#

There's really no need to do that and in fact is causing way more problems than anything else

#

And if you want to have them be distinguishable from vanilla, name it AQanimationName instead

grizzled fulcrum
#

How would it cause more problems than not? But I will have no prefix as I thought initially my animation might clash with another mod if they were to have the same name

bright fog
#

Did you check other mods how they add custom animations ?

bright fog
#

(go damn prefish)

grizzled fulcrum
#

No because I was sure that the animation guide would have covered everything I need to know about animations but it did not

bright fog
#

No it really doesn't

#

There's no correct guide out there that explains everything about animations and how they work

#

There really is no need to have prefixes and it causes you issues because now you are required to add your prefixe to player.xml

#

If you just don't use your prefixe you have no issues

grizzled fulcrum
#

fair enough

bright fog
#

Also the bob and kate prefixes are most likely to recognize male and female animations

#

(which usually are the same but there are one or two variations)

grizzled fulcrum
#

I presumed that as the game does refer internally to those

bright fog
#

So if you want your files to be unique, just name them another way

#

My zombie animations are just named clickerWalk and shit like that, that's unique enough tbf

grizzled fulcrum
#

I mean I could just do it without an _ but it doesnt matter anyway

#

Also I have to ask since there are like no resources on this, what is m_Conditions and where are they stored (I am assuming it's a table of conditions stored somewhere

#

I see a lot of actions' animation have a condition to be able to do the animation but I am not sure where these are stored

bright fog
#

You can access a condition on an IsoGameCharacter with getVariable()

#

There are variations of this function like

grizzled fulcrum
#

ty

bright fog
#

You can also use set instead of get to change the variable status

#

And you have nothing else to do to create a custom condition

#

You just add a custom variable name to the animSet

#

And set it elsewhere

grizzled fulcrum
#

are these variables persistent or no?

#

as in they get stored between sessions

bright fog
#

I don't think they are persistent no, if you mean like their status is saved after a reload

grizzled fulcrum
#

yes

bright fog
#

If you caught a zombie might animation and reload your game, then come back, it will not finish the animation so I guess no ? I haven't looked into that

#

But why would you care about persistence of animation variables ?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I was just curious if I needed to reset them when the user quits

bright fog
#

Nah no need for anything like that

#

The important part is making sure you trigger back the variable to false once your animation is done. I'm not familiar enough with this but you can setVariable via the animsets themselves

#

Depends if you want your animation to loop brushing your teeth until the player cancels it or just do the animation once and shit

#

But basically you could do a function that checks onTick that player is brushing its teeth via the getVariable and if you set your animation in a loop

#

And just do your happiness reduction like you currently do

grizzled fulcrum
#

Now I am getting something about a "did noto find node with condition"
So I added ```xml
<m_Conditions>
<m_Name>PerformingAction</m_Name>
<m_Type>STRING</m_Type>
<m_StringValue>BrushTeeth</m_StringValue>
</m_Conditions>

and it fixed the above but introduced a new warning (the same one I used to get) "Anim Clip not found: BrushTeeth"

The XML data that I pushed was unequivocally placeholder data that I copied from vanilla game and modified so to make sure I wasn't being the dumb one. Yet here we are and I still end up being the dumb one for something so small as a folder name. Dergeissler took a swift look at the animation and even they could tell it was not intentional. That is all.

I wish to transition from animation A to animation B half way through a timed action.
I thought maybe I could just re-call setActionAnim half way through using the update function but I realised that I do not know how I would do that (I saw an onTick event mentioned earlier but I extremely hate using onTick for things like this (really) and I believe there has to be a better alternative

It's a vehicle mod I have updated to include some door animations but the propblem is that it does not cause any issues with me. Seemingly only client who are connected to a dedicated server that has the mod.

#

Any time a client gets close to the vehicle or tries to spawn one in, they crash with 1283 code sometimes with the textureFBO and others from the drawVehicle java function.

#

But this doesnt effect everyone. Some server admins have said the mod works great while others have the problem

All this info together would help someone narrow down the issue in theory

But best of luck; the bugs must die.

#

the call stack would be very useful here, FBO.startDrawing is a low level part of the renderer, the issue probably originates from something incorrectly configured with the vehicle and something higher up in the call stack would probably indicate what that is

Anyone here crack the egg of growing trees properly?

From what I can tell by reading through the java, trees are handled by some mechanism in ErosionMain. I am trying to figure out how to trigger the game to adjust my mod-placed trees to be in the right season (like adjust the leaves and stuffs, force them to grow up, etc).

Ideally, my end goal is:

Create a tool which allows staff on a server to select an area then "trigger" trees in that area, whether it be planting new ones, growing existing, etc.

#

Specifically, I found NatureTrees, which is an ErosionCategory that gets triggered during LoadGridsquare under some convoluted circumstances which appears to handle tree growth and season changes.. but I just can not figure out how to hook into it to force it.

hey all, i'm currently working on my first firearms mod and i've run into a problem.

I want to make my weapon compatible with existing attachments e.g. the x2 scope with a sniper rifle.
But as far as I understand it, you have to set the property for both the attachment (MountOn) and the weapon (ModelWeaponPart).

My approach would be to redefine the vanilla attachments in my mod to include my weapon.
but this seems very cumbersome to me and I wanted to ask if there is a better solution?

small topaz
# bronze yoke technically you don't need any event for traits, but OnGameBoot is commonly used

Are you 100% sure about that? Cause for professions, adding them only via OnGameBoot will not suffice. Reason is that if a character dies and the player chooses "Create New Character" in the in-game-after-death menu, the game calls the vanilla function "BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions()". This will delete all professions and completely reset them. Deletion also applies to modded professions, but not the reset (reset only applies to professions added in "DoProfessions()"). So, in case you add new professions only via OnGameBoot, the result is that new professions won't be available anymore if players choose the "Create New Character" option after death. To fix the issue, the creation of new professions should also be appended to the vanilla function "BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoProfessions()".

I am not sure if this also applies to traits but since the vanilla game treats them very similar to the professions via a function called "BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits()", I am wondering...

hey folks, does any one know where trait properties are defined? For example, I can't find the properties of SpeedDemon or Desensitized.

In main creation methods, I can see the traits created:
eg:
TraitFactory.addTrait("SpeedDemon", getText("UI_trait_SpeedDemon"), 1, getText("UI_trait_SpeedDemonDesc"), false);
But I can't see where the specific properties are set. Does anybody know?

bronze yoke
#

traits work backwards from how you're thinking, they don't really have properties associated with them, they just get checked for in relevant code

#

e.g. speed demon would be checked for in the part of the java that handles driving

I see, so that's hard coded

Hello all. I have a question that I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on.

I want to create a standard recipe, that is not evolved, but allows two basic ingredients, but also have the option of using a different modded ingredient without requiring the dependency for that mod to be required/installed. Basically allowing the recipe to work IF the mod is installed, otherwise it works with standard base game ingredients.

Lets say a Cheese Sandwich for instance, that only requires Base.Cheese, and Base.BreadSlices. But lets say a separate mod also has "Sourdough Bread Slices", or "Rye Bread Slices".

Is there a way to include these in recipe scripts/lua code to allow them to be optional, but not depend on those mods to be installed/ran on the server?

Trying to find an open ended way to make recipes for items with potential for other mods to work alongside without requiring them outright.

Please let me know if anyone has an idea, appreciate the help!

austere sequoia

bronze yoke
#

i'm pretty sure you can just add the item to the recipe and it'll ignore it if the item isn't found (because the mod isn't loaded)

rich reef
#

I could add an ingredient such as "Base.BreadSlices/CustomMod.SourdoughSlices", as an option. But I am unsure if it will require the linked mod to be loaded if I do that, or if it will throw an error. If that makes sense?

Well I want to include it as my own Module, not as part of Base game. Just meant that the recipe may use mostly Vanilla Ingredients, but would like to add options for modded ingredients as well, without it throwing errors, or requiring that mod to be loaded.

so other modders can add the tag to their own items

#

Any reference for using tags? I have not gotten so far into modding PZ yet, though I'm pretty well versed in programming in general.

Thats true. I guess I was curious where to look if an exception is thrown on that, or if it's just not shown/ignored in a recipe.

I'm in need of some assistance when it comes to editing an evolvedrecipe via script; specifically it's MaxItems value.

sm:getItems("Base.Roasted Vegetables"):DoParam("MaxItems","9");

I've tried formatting various ways within DoParam(), but nothing works. I suspect that getItems doesn't work for evolvedrecipes in the first place, but then the question becomes how do I edit the maxItems value in a mod compatibility friendly way?

When players sneak and are close to a wall, they automatically take cover behind the wall and use a different sneaking animation. Does anyone knows how to check whether a player is using this "close-to-a-wall-sneaking-animation"?

I know about the "player:isSneaking()" command to check whether player is sneaking but it does to tell whether they are close to a wall. Moreover, there is a command "player:checkIsNearWall()" but I am not sure what it does since it returns a float (not boolean). Seems somehow related to the problem but I am not able to figure out how exactly.

i have a question someone here might be able to answer, i dont know anything about lua, ive read all the guides on here and checked the website and couldnt get my idea to work. so i figured ill ask here if its even possible.
i was trying to write code, that changes an items weight based off of its remaining use delta. kind of like how buckets of water change weight when they are half full, but to work for something like a pack of cigarettes that changes weight the more items you remove

#

does anyone know if thats even possible? or how hard it would be to pull off?

indigo pasture
#

or every tick but this one can be laggy

echo lark
#

so like you remove an item from the item with a usedelta, then it checks its weight and changes it

#

i tried for days, trying to learn lua/do it but i couldnt get it it work

small topaz
indigo pasture
small topaz
indigo pasture
#

damn how do i send code

#

lol

small topaz
#

Do you want to change the weight only after a recipe has been applied? Or are their other actions in game where you would like to change?

#

@indigo pasture you have to use the " ` " symbol three time at the beginning and at the end of the code

indigo pasture
# 
function Recipe.OnCreate.Oncreate(items, result, player, selectedItem)
    local originalUseDelta = 0
    for i = 1, items:size() do
        local item = items:get(i-1)
        if item:getType() == "YourItem" then
            originalUseDelta = 0
        end
    end
    local newItem = player:getInventory():AddItem("YourItem")
    newItem:setWeight(originalUseDelta)
end```
echo lark
#

uuh, basicaly the idea is to have items called liked "Boxed Engine Parts" for exmaple. where you can bundle up like 100 engine parts, then use a recipe to remove 1/5/10 at a time. then have code that updates the boxed items weight

indigo pasture
civic heron
#

And you can type lua after the first three ` to get syntax highlighting :)

forgot to explain

so i would need to remove the item first then add the new one right?

indigo pasture
#

yeah

echo lark
# indigo pasture yeah

lol, so, first off. thank you very much for your help i appreciate it, but ive figured it out and it turns out its a vanilla feature, you just need to add the weightempty property to your item, figured it out cuz of a propane torch XD

small topaz
# velvet forge But even though a mod is not used, where is this information saved in vanilla?

In the vanilla game, the character screen including the vanilla death counter are controlled by the lua client/XpSystem/ISUI/ISCharacterScreen.lua . Also, there seems to be a java command which can be used in lua to get the player's kill count: player:getZombieKills() . I didn't test this command but the vanilla code uses it on the appropriate places, so I guess it works in this way.

bronze yoke
#

you can't transmit objects

#

an object is really just a memory address, it won't be the same between client and server

#

in this case i don't think you need to use a client command at all, zombies are usually handled by clients so you should just be able to remove it from there

#

but generally, you need to transmit something that can be used to identify the object on the other end, like some kind of id

Is there an event firing more often than OnTick? Tried OnRenderTick and OnPlayerUpdate but they seem to be the same for me.

bronze yoke

no, there isn't really a way to fire more often, that is the tickrate of the game

the best you could do is just run your code multiple times ๐Ÿ˜…

OnZombieUpdate will usually fire a bunch of times per tick

#

what do you need to call something so rapidly for?

small topaz
# bronze yoke what do you need to call something so rapidly for?

I am trying to time the equipment of a clothing item exactly with a certain movement of the player. An my current impression is that it might be be not possible cause OnTick doesn't fire often enough. XD But the whole thing happens in the range of milliseconds. So a super small delay shouldn't be a huge think... But I am still playing around with things trying to make it perfect, Maybe I have some kind of OCD don't know XD

bronze yoke
#

so something like 'equip this item the very moment the player crosses this tile'?

#

the game simulates in discrete ticks, so checking more often than once a tick won't actually give you more fine of a view into anything

nothing happens 'smoothly', just at a good enough tickrate that nobody can tell

I am doing a fix that fixes zombies during the night, in sp, vanilla game zombies don`t attack player through an open window and I wanna fix it, but it turns out that the calculation system does not work correctly and calculates the distance from ALL windows or from the entire car if at least one is open, that is, if you stand against the wall and open the window that will be near the wall (let's say the back right one), then if a zombie will approach the left front window, which is closed, the code will assume that the zombie has approached the open window

restart a new game then or just create new instances of items. items compute their condition depending on max condition at item creation time.

i did try to wipe the game

mellow frigate
#

what item are you using for your test ?

grizzled fable
#

Hat_GasMask or Hat_NBCmask

#

i overrided this items and added a MaxCondition value of 100000

mellow frigate
#

ok, then restart the game and create a new instance of Hat_GasMask.

grizzled fable
#

yeah but if players use this item and than i restart the server they lose all the condition from the item you know?

#

how can i solve this problem?

but i did wipe the game but every time i reboot the server the condition is gone, idk if i managed to been clear

Yeah like in that case you would need to copypaste your render to console, but first you would need to make the backup function global for testing, or better yet put it in a returned local module and import it to the console for global use during testing

#

If you just paste the override into console it won't be able to see old_ISInventoryPage_render

gilded hawk
#

Yeah that makes a lot of sense

#

Also, talking about something else, does anyone know a way to store the reference of a container to easily check it's content even when a player is far away?

#

Like, I have this shelf, and I want to make it so that I can remotely send items to it.

I found a way to move items remotely, but I haven't found a good way of easily store the reference to the ItemContainer

# gilded hawk Teal -> https://github.com/teal-language/tl

Looks neat, but I wouldn't use it for modding for the same reasons I don't use Moonscriptโ€”would involve a more complex workflow for testing (a build script is easy to set up, but still requires an extra step even if set up to build on save)

I prefer annotation comments for typing

#

Oh, I meant for testing the mod in-game. I did use busted to write some tests for my library & theoretically you could do the same for mods but I haven't ever tried to

If done for mod files it'd probably be best to have them outside the actual mod directory so the mods aren't bloated with tests that'd have to be written to not run ingame anyhow

Hey guys. I need server.lua to get the list of all zombies on the map. Can anyone do it?

This works in client.lua to get zombies from the player's current cell:

getWorld():getCell():getZombieList()

However in server.lua I need something like this:

getWorld():Cell[0]:getZombieList()

I've been searching for days but I can't find a solution.

First question, type Drainable cannot be rotten?
Anyone knows why the item is rotten and then it dissapear instead of been replaced? Could it be that chaging from a type to another is not allowed? (FOOD to DRAINABLE)

Hello wonderful people. I was working on a little tool to parse and display the distributions. While making this I found some errors in the base game code. @tribal remnant Convinced me to turn this into something useful. I am not great at UI stuff, and noob to WPF, but I'm have a separate project for the logic, so if someone with some (Cross Platform? Not sure if AvaloniaUI for example is still a thing?) UI experience comes along, it won't be hard to switch the frontend. Enjoy the random screenshot of me failing to DataBind xD. Probably need to set templates for the rows or something. I'm also very new to PZ, so any suggestions on problem areas for modders that I could automate would be very welcome ๐Ÿ™‚

You can modify it as you would a lua table

#

Using the OnGameBoot event, I modify the game's distro

#

This is what I do to add items, but nothing stops you from looking up the correct entry and modifying it.

                table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[distID].items, item..sealed)
                table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[distID].items, chance)
#

distributionTable.gunstore.locker.procList would get you to that table

#

but then the entries aren't keyed, so you'd need to forloop to check the name

Did you ever tried to add a custom trait to a player (not yourself) in multiplayer? I mean creating a trait with a mod and then right clicking a non-admin player to add the trait.
I'm starting to believe there is a bug in the base game.

#
  • I can add the trait to myself as an admin, I see it and it's still there after I relog.
  • If I add the trait to another player then I do see the trait in the admin window but the player can't see it. If the player relog, it's not there for any of us.
  • If the other player gets the trait from something (like a custom journal calling AddTrait() ), I don't see it as an admin, but he sees it. It's still there after a relog. If I add the trait from the admin panel then I see the trait in the admin panel but the trait disappears on the player side, even after relog.

Is their an easy or efficient way to execute code when the players completed all TimedActions which they had in the TimedAction queue?

Specifically, what I need is this:

  • if player is not doing a TimedAction, then execute some code (no problem here for me)
  • if player is doing TimedActions, then wait for all TimedActions to complete and execute the code then (that's my problem)

Only way to realize the 2nd part I could think of is to use something like the OnTick event and check every tick whether TimedActions are done. However, I am afraid that this might not be good performancewise in case the player has a lot of actions in the queue.

#

Ideally there is some kind of lua event which fires when the queue has emptied but I didn't found such an event yet...

bronze yoke
#

hook ISTimedActionQueue:onCompleted

#

if after that function is called self.queue[1] is nil the player has completed every action in their queue

#

you might need to hook ISTimedActionQueue:clearQueue and stopDoingActionThatCanBeCancelled (unqualified global function) to catch cancels too

#

Try replacing the base game file of the trees with your own and see if it changes them

#

If it doesn't, the issue most likely comes from you, if it does work but didn't work within a mod then that's probably due to the need for manual download (and you're fucked and have to make a guide on how to download your custom trees textures for people on your modpage)

I am just getting started with trying modding for PZ.

I've made a new trait that starts you with a fanny pack full of maps, and I'd like to equip the map to the character. Having trouble finding info on this or other mods to reference for this particular step.

Any pointers?

Here's how the lua code is set up now...

local function onGameBoot()
    TraitFactory.addTrait("WellTraveled", getText("UI_trait_WellTraveled"), 3, getText("UI_traitdesc_WellTraveled"), false, false);
    TraitFactory.sortList();
end

local function onCharacterCreation(playerObj, square, profession)
    if playerObj:getHoursSurvived() == 0 then
        if playerObj:HasTrait("WellTraveled") then
            local fannyPack = playerObj:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Bag_FannyPackFront");
            local maps = {"Base.MarchRidgeMap", "Base.MuldraughMap", "Base.RiversideMap", "Base.RosewoodMap", "Base.WestpointMap", "Base.LouisvilleMap1"}; -- Add or remove maps as needed
            for _, map in ipairs(maps) do
                fannyPack:getItemContainer():AddItem(map);
            end

        -- equip the fanny pack to the front here?

        end
    end
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(onGameBoot);
Events.OnNewGame.Add(onCharacterCreation);

small topaz
# jaunty kestrel I am just getting started with trying modding for PZ. I've made a new trait tha...

To equip the fanny pack to the body, you can try
playerObj:setWornItem("FannyPackFront", fannyPack)
Morover, for adding your trait properly to the TraitFactory, you might append some code like

for i=1,traitList:size() do
        local trait = traitList:get(i-1)
        BaseGameCharacterDetails.SetTraitDescription(trait)
end```
to your ``onGameBoot()`` function . This is to ensure that your trait gets its correct description in the pregame-menu where you can select traits (or does your trait already has your description displayed??)
Another thing I would think about is to addtionally append your ``onGameBoot()`` function to the vanilla function ``BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits()``. This is to ensure that your new trait is still shown in the trait selection menu in case a character dies and the player chooses the "Create New Character" option (i.e. playing with a new character in the same game world where you could find your old character dead/zombified). So using smth like
```local vanilla_DoTraits = BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits
function BaseGameCharacterDetails.DoTraits(...)

    vanilla_DoTraits(...) -- execute vanilla function
    
    onGameBoot() -- execute your trait function
end```

Btw: for polishing your fanny pack stuff, you might also want to check whether the player already has another fanny pack in the inventory. Could happen if the player manually chooses a fanny pack during character creation. This shouldn't result in bugs but in this case, a character may start with 2 fanny packs. So in case you want to avoid such a situation...

jaunty kestrel
small topaz
# jaunty kestrel Thanks so much for the details and advice! The description is appearing properl...

Ok. Then you might not need the iteration through the traitList. I just thought about this cause you need this when creating a new profession, so I thought traits need it as well since the game treats them quite similarly.

For the thing about creating a new character, best idea is to simply check how your code works in this case. If your trait appears in the menu, then it is not necessary to append it to DoTraits . Just thought about this because again, this is necessary for creating new professions...

hi, what is the difference between SandboxVars.MyModId and getSandboxOptions():getOptionByName()? I see them being used for similar reasons but why would they be interchangably used and not one or the other?

there is no difference

#

the second one is much uglier and is probably only used by people who don't know about the other one or saw it somewhere and assumed it actually did something differently

deft peak
#

one of those addons should be a load order jumbler in order to load things properly, cuz yknow mods be all round the place especially with big load lists

something similar to rimpy's "sort" would be cool

#

It matters also for dependencies but if the modder did its job correctly, it doesn't matter

#

Even if a mod adds a possible compatibility with another mod that's optional, the load order will not matter either if the modder wrote its code correctly (so like add a check for that other mod on save load and not on game boot, so that way if the optional mod wasn't loaded before it will still be detected)

#

Load order matters for maps tho here I have no idea how it should be handled and I doubt there are virtual rules on how to load maps between each others, or at least there's probably no info in the files itself

#

Maps that replace the same cells will be compatible, one or the other will be deactivated in the worst case and it could show the in-game map of the other one thus rendering in-game map useless (like spawn in the forest but on the map it says there's building there)

#

In the actual worst case, a map replaces only half the cells used by another map and you end up with half a map crossing another map, so let's say 2 city maps will just bend weirdly with others and will just be like those chunk bug of Minecraft

bright fog
#

Also back then when rimpy existed, it didn't actually properly order stuff

#

It was just fake load order and could even in fact cause more problems

yeah but now its way better and the rimworld modding community pretty much recommends it all the time

There's some info you can't retrieve on a zombie

bright fog

Give me a sec

#

You can access:
-Speed
-Sight
-Hearing
-Cognition

You can't retrieve:
-Memory
-Strength
-Toughness
-Transmission

If I'm not mistaken

#

In my mod I access the stats of a zombie and if they are the right one I don't have to update them

#

But in the case of those 4 last ones I have to update them multiple times to make sure they are the right one and then I stop updating them

#

The way I do it is by accessing the classFields of a zombie

#

What this allows you to do is this

zombie --your IsoZombie
local zombieSpeed = zombie.speedType -- for some reason I don't use it I don't remember why)
local zombieSight = zombie.sight
-- etc
-- .hearing, .cognition

-- .strength exists I believe but I didn't use and I don't remember why
#

You might be able to use .strength and access the strength

#

I don't remember why I didn't use it tho

compact mason
bright fog
#

Oh yeah I remember now

#

.stength doesn't work

#

The reason is that the value of strength is modified by the toughness of a zombie

#

So you will not access the actual strength defined with sandbox options

#

You'll recieve a value of the strength that's defined based on toughness

#

toughness can't be accessed either

#

Your best bet is to make sure toughness stays the same for a zombie, or find out how the game defined the strength based on toughness (by looking in the java)

bright fog
#

You don't have to import anything in your lua files

#

Just make sure to require the mod if you end up using it

#

Also there might be methods to access the speed of a zombie a different way

#

out of curiousity, why aren't classes fields accessible in the first place without mods? Is that intentional by the devs?

bronze yoke
#

i'm not really sure but it seems intentional

#

accessible fields is just a bunch of metatable hackery redirecting to the methods used by the debugging ui to show class fields, so the lack of it isn't an oversight at the least

#

the api that uses is really really unwieldy for literally any other application though, which is why i wrote accessible fields

#

i think those methods are just a wrapper over java's reflection library so it might just be that it wasn't something they needed until then, and that was the easiest way to do what they needed it for

#

the inability to write to fields is overtly intentional but i don't really know what the motivation for that is

#

i think they're just kind of afraid to expose any more reflection stuff than they have to, which is kind of fair

hollow current
#

Fair enough i guess. Accessible fields made my life so much easier on so many accounts so great job with that

Hi all
Iโ€™m trying to go about commissioning a mod, me and my group are having trouble finding any takers

Just a mod that adds PTT to radios while still being able to use voice activation for proximity chat maybe even some sound effects to the start and end of the message like a click, beep, static etc

And to be difficult some radio like effects to voices coming through radios
Thanks!

when working with distribution files, what is the most number I can add for rarity? 0.001? or can make it even more rare?

bright fog
#

I set their HP very high and just keep track of the damage dealt to them and if it falls under 0 the zombie is killed

reef cairn
#

so looking at the rarirty in my distribution file

#

if it was 0.1 and i make it .001 im essentially making it 100 times for rare than before correct?

#

oh no that is 1000 times more rare

Hello, I'm trying to get what the player is looking at when holding down the right click the problem I encountered is that the code I made does not return a value between 0 and 360 so could someone help.

bright fog
#

Like yes the damage will ramp up, but not to such extremes

#

And surprisingly my damage was staying constant after a while

verbal yew
#

3-5 melee hit

bright fog
#

It's been a while I've worked on it now but I believe the reason might be that the damage increases based on missing health of the zombie or some shit like that ?

small topaz

bright fog
#

I'll have to check that out

#

But in my test of my function that allows higher HP amounts, the damage stopped increasing after a certain amount

#

I set my zombie health to like 5k

verbal yew
#

more then 300 hp (30.000 flat hp) not work in mp

#

zombies just like ghost something like this problem

bright fog
#

Really ?

#

That would explain many issues I got with Bloaters in the original mod then

#

Zombies having their outfit disappear and shit

#

by 300 hp you mean setHealth(3) or setHealth(300) ?

verbal yew
#

setHealth(300)

bright fog
#

hmm

#

I never went that high in the original mod

#

I don't remember to how much it's set wait

I have an idea for a mod, but I was hoping to get some feedback on how plausible the idea would be to implement?

bright fog
bright fog
#

There also:

player:getLookAngleRadians()
brittle dock
#

Something similar might already exist, or it might not quite work; let me know either way ๐Ÿ™‚

The idea stems from being disappointed that books & magazines disappear after reading, because if the world ended I would end up re-reading the same content time and time again, albeit with diminishing returns each time (as I do IRL).

The easiest implementation I've imagined would be after reading a book/magazine, remove it from the inventory and replace it with a "used book/magazine" item with reduced stats. The downside to this is that after you've read something, the leftover item will still only provide the reduced stats for any other players reading it for the first time.

The preferred implementation would be a system where books & magazines are randomly assigned an ID from an array on generation to determine the book/magazine title. After reading, the item would remain in the player's inventory, and a variable in the player file would record the amount of times that particular array ID has been read. The stats would be determined per-title, so a book that you've read 5 times would still be called "The Old Man and the Sea", and would still provide a full bonus to another player who hasn't read the book yet.

The second implementation might require some further work for balance, but I personally love the idea of gathering a library & knowing it won't suddenly disappear.

ups

sry about that

This mod makes it so magazines don't disappear and you can reread them

(sort of)

It's not perfect in my opinion tho

Doesn't reduces the stats the magazine gives but instead you get a new item that you can do different things with

That's crazy to get examples of BOTH implementations I had imagined. I think the biggest lesson I've learned today is how bad I am at searching for existing content.

I'm tidiy up the SP code, and then I'll work on the MP one ๐Ÿ˜„

sour island
#

Was this the loot randomizer thing? or

gilded hawk
#

The mod that allowed you to send your loot to a container in your base remotely

sour island
#

I don't think we spoke about that, or if we did it was long ago lol

gilded hawk
#

Yeah it was months ago

#

It was my mod to make it so that you throw all your look in a container, and it gets sent to the right container wirelessly, like minecraft's EC2 mod

Sounds neat ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

And gameplay aspect to getting to work?

sour island
#

Thank you for the kind words ๐Ÿ™‚

gilded hawk
#

@sour island Okay, so I finally got a good clip of how the loot manager sends items to a marked container.

This mod should make tidying up loot in the base so much easier, as it stops you from walking back and forth from your vehicle or loot pile.

And as you can see if your items stack is too heavy to fit in the container is also disables the option.

gilded hawk
sour island
#

Neat ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

gilded hawk
#

Yeah! Its cool ๐Ÿ˜„

brittle dock
#

I dig it; does it preserve item durability?

gilded hawk
#

A better example of how a "Loot Receiver" is set, and sending an item to it from a nearby container.

brittle dock
#

If I eat 1/2 an apple, then send the apple to the fridge, does the fridge spawn an apple with 50% remaining, or does it spawn a "full" apple?

#

Or if the crowbar is close to breaking, same thing

gilded hawk
#

It will send the exact item you want to send. So, if you have half apple, half apple will be sent

gilded hawk
#

Also, can anyone tell me how to check if a square is in a faction safe house? i think that I need to add this check to avoid griefing, but I don't know where to start ๐Ÿ˜…

No idea, did you check the methods related to IsoSquare ?

Why can't you use the player angle ?

Hmm just tested it and I see the issue

#

It outputs cardinal directions instead of an actual angle

bright fog
#

Test values, see what it sets

#

Do a correlation with actual angle from player

#

You can do some basic trigonometry for this too

#

Get coordinate of cursor, get coordinate of player, calculate angle on your circle, do a correlation between your 2 angle values so they correspond
