it's probably unintended but i wouldn't know why the issue occurs

grizzled fulcrum
#

I will see if I can fix it soon, not now though because I really need to get moving on some other stuff

#

The Bandits mod is adding more and more behaviors - who knows if he'll venture into civilians next.

#

I implemented this, but the character still stands in place.

#

This way does not solve the problem of incorrect animation, when trying to use setVariable for vanilla EatingStarted, the character stands still

grizzled fulcrum
#

I don't think I can help any more as I lack a lot of experience in animations

Thanks for your time anyway!

hello everyone. I need some information. How does the game distinguish wounds caused by zombies from other wounds?? I'm making a mod that activates the Zombie infection in a different way: each wound gives "infection points" and once a certain number of infection points is reached the zombification process starts. Now I have to make the mod distinguish the wounds caused by zombies from all the others. Can you give me some directions or a hint???? thanks in advance to whoever answers me

bronze yoke
#

it doesn't

#

a scratch is a scratch, it doesn't remember what caused it

pearl prism

#

I made a shitty edit after this mod and has 18k subs lol

silk pike
# bronze yoke a scratch is a scratch, it doesn't remember what caused it

but then why if I fall and scratch myself or get hurt by some glass, the zombie infection doesn't start? at least as far as I know, that's how it works in the vanilla game: a scratch from a zombie can infect you and transform you, but a scratch from a fall will never infect you with the zombie infection.

#

the scratch itself is the same either way and there's no reliable way to determine what a wound came from

sudden kestrel

#

is there a way to import a picture when a sound plays for example sound ZomboidSuprisedPlayer
{
category = zombie
image

bronze yoke
#

no, i don't even know what that would be expected to do but there's nothing like that

sudden kestrel
#

sadge I didnt wanna make it myself

#

basically just want an image to flash when the zombie jumpscares the player around a corner

#

do you know which file the map pulling up comes from? would reverse engineer that

ancient grail
muted garnet
#

@grizzled fulcrum @ancient grail
if you are interested, the problem was that you had to add to the xml file this lines:

<m_SubStateBoneWeights>
<boneName>Dummy01</boneName>
<weight>1.0</weight>
</m_SubStateBoneWeights>
<m_SubStateBoneWeights>
<boneName>Translation_Data</boneName>
<weight>1.0</weight>
</m_SubStateBoneWeights>
#

this wasn't in the original file. Why don't zombies require these lines to play animations correctly?

ancient grail
#

copy the dig animation x file
copy the shovel timed action
replace variables with the necessary changes based on the eat anim
and try again

the dig timed action is much easier to reverse engineer

btw you csnt rename x files
you have to rename the animation inside of it using 3d apps if you want to rename it

this could also be the reson why it didnt work?

ancient grail

grizzled fulcrum

#

oh that could be the case then

muted garnet
#

Is a zombie any different from a player object in terms of bone structure or something like that?

#

and also, if you know, please tell me, is it possible to see something like documentation for these values ​​in the animation xml file?

ancient grail
#

maybe cuz of their model

#

the way their bones are done.. this is more of a modelling related thing i guess.

#

does lua code run on a different thread to the java or will all lua code tied to an event fire when triggered by java and be completed before the next java code continues?

bronze yoke
#

the entire game is single threaded

quiet fulcrum
#

because I swear I notice the java code continuing before the lua code finishes sometimes.. maybe I'm imagining it though

#

for example I hook into OnPlayerDeath and immediately restore full health. Most of the time this catches it before it transfers all inventory into a IsoDeadBody and makes a recovery but sometimes it seems to not stop it in time

#

and from what I think, it's doing it because isDead appears true, when it shouldn't after a restore full health

dull moss
grizzled fulcrum
bronze yoke
#

😨

#

maybe not then but all of the primary game logic is singlethreaded

grizzled fulcrum
#

yes that is true

bronze yoke
#

and anything that calls on/triggers lua waits on it

grizzled fulcrum
#

the only notable things that are on separate threads are the lighting (which if it weren't, god only knows what the performance would be), voice chat, world loading stuff (you see World Streamer thread and WorldReuser thread)

#

I wish they had UI on a separate thread too, it would be very tricky to multithread it but currently my fps halfs (sometimes quarters) when disabling offscreen UI rendering (unless this is already on a separate thread then I have no idea)

bronze yoke
#

my first thought when seeing that was 'oh, so that's why ReuseGridsquare isn't actually triggered'

#

it's definitely on the main thread, lua can't run in multiple threads

grizzled fulcrum
#

wat

#

WorldReuserThread.reuseGridSquares

#

is this not similar?

#

or can you call reuse gridsquares from lua

bronze yoke
#

it's supposed to be an event but it never actually seems to get called

#

that makes more sense if it's done in a separate thread, presumably the event is carried over from a time where it happened on the main thread

quiet fulcrum
#

there's no way to iterate a list of callbacks for events right? Everytime I'm getting somewhere I hit a limitation

bronze yoke
#

you can capture callbacks when they're added to do this

# 
local callbacks = {}
local old_add = Events.EventName.Add
Events.EventName.Add = function(callback)
    table.insert(callbacks, callback)
    old_add(callback)
end
quiet fulcrum
#

genius! that would only work for anything loaded after my mod though I guess?

bronze yoke
#

anything loaded after the file that does this, if you put it in shared and start the filename with a bunch of exclamation marks that *probably* won't be something you need to worry about

#

vanilla files load before mods but you can at least fix that manually if it's relevant

quiet fulcrum
#

lovely, my hope is renewed,.. thanks

sudden kestrel
#

@bronze yoke what do you know about these

bronze yoke
#

poison detection level is what cooking level you need to detect the poison

#

poison power is a sort of arbitrary poisonousness metric, higher values make you more sick for longer

#

I need to play one sound for a normal hit and another for a fatal hit, so is it possible to check if the hit was fatal without using OnZombieDead?

#

Smthg I'm unsure on is if OnHitCharacter triggers when a zombie dies

#

You could check that out and see if it triggers before OnZombieDead

#

Then check HP of zombie

What are the best resources to learn modding & mapping for project zomboid? I'm familiar with many programming languages such as Java, C#, Python... but I just cant seem to find any good resources or docs for project zomboid

Is it possible to add additional filters to inventory UI?

dry chasm
# red sail What are the best resources to learn modding & mapping for project zomboid? I'm ...

https://projectzomboid.com/modding/ To figure out what/where to access
https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html General Lua stuff (some differences to Kahlua apply)
https://pzwiki.net/wiki/Modding General infos IIRC.
https://github.com/asledgehammer/Umbrella For auto-completion and such in for example VSCode
https://github.com/demiurgeQuantified/PZEventDoc/blob/develop/docs/Events.md Available events you can use
Project Zomboid Modding Tools on steam for map/tileset stuff
And depending on what you want to do exactly, learning from other mods, or specific guides (vehicles, modeling, whatnot)

Additionally some better "getting started" guides or list of guides over on #1125248330595848192 message probably.

There's probably a lot more scattered about or in one of those (ex. the wiki)
So for asking for specifics never hurts if you can't find something spiffo

By providing enough context and asking the question publicly, those with the experience, time and willingness to help will be able to answer or inquire about more details if necessary - this holds true even if it's a request and not just a question.

Okay, sorry... So, er... I have a mod idea -which I was inspired from someone else- I'm trying to make and it's basically a backpack but it's a baby. I'm thinking mechanics such as crying if not fed, etc... This could change gameplay and the noise could draw zombies making it an immersive parent-y kinda start. Makes sense? Is this possible in PZ?

dull moss
#

yes

stoic kayak
#

where can I find the item icon ya see in the inventory? Are those some where?

bright fog
#

Why a timer ?

#

Also OnCharacterHit gives the damage, so you can calculate zombie dying or not

# 
function MTDOnWeaponHitCharacterMain(wielder, target, weapon, damage)
    if wielder == getPlayer() and target:isZombie() then
        
    end
end

Events.OnWeaponHitCharacter.Add(MTDOnWeaponHitCharacterMain);```
#

then just check if damage is higher than remaining hp of zombie

stoic kayak
#

err- could be wrong, but are the little icons in inventory actually 3D objects being rendered there?
Eitherway, I grabbed the image from the wiki

dull moss
#

having 3d object rendered instead of small 30x30 icon would be really inefficient

#

i think

stoic kayak
#

I mean- I can't find the image for sledgehammers other then a UV mapped image x3

When utilizing the textureChoices prompt for clothing, is there a way to have that transfer to item icons and world models as well? Or is it something exclusive to just the texture being worn

#

woah what did I do? (edit: fixed but why'd the font get all messed up?)

#

I understand if no, but might I get some help with setting up a visual studio code workspace? Not really PZ as much as just using VS code it's self rn 😅
I am trying to add a thing that'll exclude any files/folders in a workspace if ".ignore" is at the end of the name.

#

oh did I jsut get it?

#

It seems I was using **/?.ignore instead of **/*.ignore

#

New question. When highlighting an object, do I need to specify to unhighlight it?

#

I'm seeing something doing setHighlighted(true) but then I can't find anything that is setting to false, so-

#

oh humm-

#

So, default is render once. But then- is mouse moved called every frame?

Damage is ignored when pushing, first off

#

Brush Tool has fire brush, which also has the exact thing I'm looking for, but with a different end result. Start at 1 spot, as ya move the mouse it changes a rectangle between where the start and current mouse is and highlights all tiles in the rectangle

#

Normally, the fire brush- ya know- sets things on fire xP
I'd just want it to destroy as if it were the sledgehammer.

bright fog
#

@opal horizon gives the HP before the damage is applied

#

(first off)

#

Let me check the java actually

#

This can be very useful even to me as I work on damages to zombies a bit

(tho idk if I can share that here)

stoic kayak
#

What are the necessities for context menu icons?
resolution? bit depth? name format?

#

oh-

#

it might help if I added .png to the end xD

#

wait- ok new question. How do I change highlight color back after-

                    sq:getFloor():setHighlightColor(1,0,0,0.5)
                    sq:getFloor():setHighlighted(true)
#

they're still red when I go to select them again 😅

#

I'ma disable the red when it deletes stuff for now. Unless- I set it just the the objects to be removed-

#

hey there! so i finally opened the pz DEV thingy but the problem is that the mod is not showing up for some reason in my mods list pepe_think
any idea what i couldve missed?

#

my mod is in the mod and workshop folders

#

mod info?

#

ahhhh yes!

#

that should be it ❤️ thank you

#

oop nevermind its there

Did you edit it from the mod ya copied it from tho ;P

#

Unique values and such

hasty hill
#

oh it has its own unique values

stoic kayak
#

huh-

#

idk then sorry-

hasty hill
#

no worries! thank you anyway

#

ooop! okay its fixed

#

I had too many folders before media, like in the workshop setting

stoic kayak
#

Although, in my own mod progress, I am kinda ashamed and also really happy this works! xD
Ashamed b/c I sorta just "duct taped" it in and was expecting it, code I copied from cheat menu's object deletion, to need some love to work properly, but it seems to work already with my code.
I am not exactly happy with how few changes I made-

#

Is it possible to interact with zombie movement? Like to make zombies go in a selected direction, for example, to go to a certain square, if there is no movingObject there?

stoic kayak
#

Well, I'm not gonna be posting this anytime soon and if I do post it, I'll rewrite the whole thing if I have to 😅

stoic kayak
#

ah yes. Game crashed and wondered why.
Maybe b/c I was trying to highlight the entire map 🤔

Oh yea, would using the sledgehamer image from the wiki be allowed? 😅

ancient grail
bronze yoke
#

yeah, those are just ripped from the game anyway

stoic kayak
#

I wanted to have an extra level of accident failsafe by making it instead of being select context menu option, and it chooses that as the start, to waiting for a click input as first point. But it seems to be funny 🤔

hey, not touched any zomboid modding in ages, tried to add a kiln and pottery to my mod ages ago, using tchernolib I managed to get a version that kind of worked single player, but on a server it kept removing and resetting/desyncing the updated items, so before I jump back in I was wondering how other people would go about adding something similar just so I can hear how more experienced people would approach it

In short it was a container than updated a custom value on an item while it was in it, and on amount reaches 100 (or whatever set value) it replaces with a new item

Any example mods that’s do anything similar would be appreciated

bright fog
#

That's amazing

#

What did you use to make the spikes ?

#

These zombie animations look clean too

You have plans to add multiple custom zombies ?

Hi, I'm trying to create my first easy mod, but its not working, and I don't Know what I'm doing wrong.

This is the code YeastRecipe.lua

function Recipe.OnCreate.MakeYeast(items, result, player)    
    return;
end


recipe Testing Create Yeast
{

    Water;1,
    Flour;1,
    Sugar;1,

    Result:Yeast,
    Time:30.0,
    Category:Cooking,
    OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.MakeYeast,
}

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

bright fog
#

They are in script files

#

/media/scripts/yourScriptFile.txt <- give a unique name

marsh pollen
#

and there goes the object?

bright fog
#

Also pretty sure you don't need that OnCreate function, if you don't make it do anything

marsh pollen
#

so I just need to create a .txt file with

recipe Testing Create Yeast
{

    Water;1,
    Flour;1,
    Sugar;1,

    Result:Yeast,
    Time:30.0,
    Category:Cooking,
    OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.MakeYeast,
}
#

I want to create a recipe to create Yeast, I think that you can't craft yeast in the game

bright fog
marsh pollen
#

I want some items to craft it

bright fog
# 
module Base {
    recipe Testing Create Yeast
    {
    
        Water;1,
        Flour;1,
        Sugar;1,
    
        Result:Yeast,
        Time:30.0,
        Category:Cooking,
    }
}
#

Remove the OnCreate

#

You don't need that shit, you're calling a function that returns instantly

#

Unless that's mandatory but I'd be surprised

marsh pollen
#

So the how is the .txt file linked to the .lua file?

#

Or I just need the .lua if I need some logic?

peak nymph
#

If you wanted special functionality, like returning an extra item, or a chance to fail craft etc you would need the lua and the oncreate, if it’s a standard craft it’s not needed

marsh pollen
#

Umm, i created the script, in the scripts folder, and reloaded the lua, but I cant see the recipe.
I need to add something else for example in the mod.info?

peak nymph
#

don’t think so but not 100%, might not be the issue and not on my computer to double check but I think the semi colons need to be equals signs for the ingredients

marsh pollen
#

damn, still not working, I'm doing something wrong 😦

bronze yoke
#

semicolons are correct

#

equals sign means x items, semicolon means x uses of that item

marsh pollen
#

wait, i see it now!!!, but I dont see it on the item list while in the debug menu

#

is there any way to add it there?

#

btw, thank you all 🙂

bronze yoke
#

wdym the item list? aren't you adding a recipe?

marsh pollen
#

I can see it in the normal recipe list, but not on the debug one

image.png
bronze yoke
#

that's the item list, it only has items not recipes

marsh pollen
#

yeah... you are right... 😄
So if I create a new item with the keyword item instead of recipe

cerulean sonnet
#

In this mod, how do I get someone to sell an item at the price I want, like a can for 125 and they receive 125 bonze coins, what is the code?

#

I'm looking at the mod folder shops, media, lua, shared, shopitems, the folder event, firstaid, food, forsell, vehicles, weapons appears ex: in the food folder I put Shop.Items["Base.OatsRaw" ] = {
tab = Tab.Food, price = 500,
}

Shop.Items["Base.TinnedBeans"] = {
tab = Tab.Food, price = 500,
}
but when I uploaded it to the mod pack already with the config it doesn't stay on the server and as I hadn't done anything

Is there a way to tell if a corpse was a player before it died? The moment the player dies, I know you can create an item in their inventory and then if you go to check the corpse, you can find the item in the corpse container, but that's not what I want. I want to know if you can store a player's information on a corpse.

bronze yoke
#

if you want to store information, all of a player's mod data is transferred to its corpse on death and you can modify the corpse's mod data directly too

lofty frigate
#

I need to retrieve the player name ("player:getFullName()") from a corpse. I don't know how to do it.

#

Did you check the java ?

#

Yea I think you'll have to use mod data like albion said

Hi, for a new clothing item, it's visible in the character creator as an item that exists, but, if I select it, it'll just set the tab to "none"

when I remove the property, its working fine

#

also RequiredSkill:Cooking=3, is not working either, I mean, in the recipelist, there is no limitation at all, I can create the recipe normally

I'm not familiar enough with recipes sry

marsh pollen
#

no worries, thank you 🙂

tranquil kindle
dry chasm
# marsh pollen ``` recipe TriturarPatatayFabricarLevadura { keep MortarPestle, ...

Recipe "display name" is actually what you call the recipe afaik, so in this case TriturarPatatayFabricarLevadura
As for translations the spaces in that part would be _ underscores.

so

recipe my super new craft {
  /* ... */
}
``` means it'll have the default display name `my super new craft`
To then provide other translations to it, you replace the spaces with `_` and `Recipe_` up front in the `media\lua\shared\Translate\??\Recipes_??.txt`
ex. for `media\lua\shared\Translate\EN\Recipes_EN.txt`
```lua
Recipes_EN = {
  Recipe_my_super_new_craft = "My super new craft",
}

-# at least as far as I remember for recipes

marsh pollen
#

I see, thank you!

#

so what about this then?

#

Teaches = "Recipe.CrearPolvodeChampiñon,Recipe.TriturarPatatayFabricarLevadura", I have to add underscores?

#

will be Teaches = "Recipe.Crear_Polvo_de_Champiñon,Recipe.Triturar_Patatay_Fabricar_Levadura" ??

dry chasm
# marsh pollen will be Teaches = "Recipe.Crear_Polvo_de_Champiñon,Recipe.Triturar_Patatay_Fabri...

just their name with spacing, and it's TeachedRecipes
so TeachedRecipes = Crear Polvo ... and seperated recipes by semicolons (;) then a comma at the end of it all
although I'm not sure on special characters like that n or similar, hence I would suggest making english the default one, but you can still try it (I just can't promise anything, didn't test anything in that regard myself, so... yeah)

marsh pollen
#

the documentation I'm looking at (chatgpt) is outdated then?

dry chasm
#

If chatgpt, I'd reckon it's just a guess from it anyway?

marsh pollen
#

where can I check all the parameters for a recipe or an item?

dry chasm
#

Not sure for all of them, but you can certainly check vanilla items to see how they do it

#

especially if you know a vanilla item that behaves similar to what you want to do, or a recipe for that matter

i suppose that if you find the tree its lower than it should be you can just edit the tree image file and just move the tree texture up

if you're using an emitter use playSoundImpl instead of playSound

Is there a way to send objects (like zombie or furniture) except player to server, using sendClientCommand or something like

bronze yoke
#

for furniture use the square's x, y, z and object's getObjectIndex(), you can get it on the other side using getSquare(x, y, z):getObjects():get(i)

for zombies, get the zombie's onlineid and then loop through all zombies until you find one with that onlineid (unhappy)

I notice stuff placed by build menu and stuff placed by brush tool are slightly different- why might that be?
Brush is brighter.

coarse sinew
eager pond
#

hello guys, where i can find information about adding new car model in the game?

stoic kayak
#

I am thinking of trying to use the unlisted curbs, but they are brighter.
For example, to make sure it wasn't just b/c different objects, I found and placed "street_curbs_01_20" from both menus

#

the light post is in the way, but ya get the point x3
Also, I did check, it's not that the light it changing it. If I put the BT version above the BM, it's still brighter

#

oh- maybe it's b/c it's different object sorta things?
I just realized if I place a tile over the BM curb, it removes it, but if I place it over the BT, it just changed the floor.

coarse sinew
#

The objects in brush tools are placed as IsoObjects. The objects in the Building Menu are created with the correct IsoObjects classes, but for example those curbs are attached sprites to the asphalt object, exactly as they are generated by the world at initialization.

stoic kayak
#

Which curb

coarse sinew
#

The ones in the pictures

stoic kayak
#

BT or BM?

coarse sinew
#

ah

#

BM

stoic kayak
#

Ye, that makes sense to me. Thus, I assume, they are taking on the lighting or whatever of the asphalt, and thus are shaded different.

#

err-

#

idk if I used the right words but ye xD

#

Although, would that mean I could add these other curb pieces via a mod and it'd work fine? Might do that, atleast for the diagonal curb piece that is north-west side being lower. xP

Brain fart moment- Will it be fine to do

function a(arg1) -- a-1
end
function a(arg1,arg2) -- a-2

a(x) -- calls a-1

Or do I have to make it all in 1 function, accepts all args, and then does stuff according to what was provided?

coarse sinew
# stoic kayak Brain fart moment- Will it be fine to do ```lua function a(arg1) -- a-1 end fun...

If you do this, the second function definition will overwrite the first one. But you can define a single function that accepts a table as a parameter and can check the contents of the table to determine what to do based on the number or type of arguments provided.
Like this:

function a(params)
    if params.arg1 and params.arg2 then
        -- case where both arguments are provided (a-2)
        print("Function with two arguments called")
    elseif params.arg1 then
        -- case where only one argument is provided (a-1)
        print("Function with one argument called")
    else
        -- no arguments are provided or different cases
        print("No valid arguments provided")
    end
end

-- examples:
a({arg1 = x})      -- call the one-argument version
a({arg1 = x, arg2 = y}) -- call the two-argument version

wh- that's weird. Build menu bulbs I'm guessing, they are making the light bulbs different colors. I remove them, and it's called just light bulb, but then inventory is colored and when installed also colored. 🤔

#

Inside a function I create an item in the player's inventory with a specific tint, the item is added to the player's inventory with the correct color but the icon is not, it appears with a random color, just it's the color it should be if I move away from the object or if I close and re-open the game. I use these events after adding the object to the inventory ("triggerEvent("OnClothingUpdated", self.character)" or "triggerEvent("OnRefreshInventoryWindowContainers", self.character:getInventory(), true)") but they don't work . Does anyone know how I can update the object icon to have the object color?

with shared, client, server lua folders, what order are the files loaded?

grizzled fulcrum
#

shared, then client and server depending on which one you're on

#

But server files can be loaded on the client in situations where the client is the one running the logical server, like when in singleplayer(?) and when hosting a coop game. Dedicated servers cannot load or run client code though.

#

You can check for this and return so that your code is only run on the dedicated server for stuff that you never want to run on client like

if isClient() then return end
# 
IS_CLIENT = isClient()
IS_SERVER = isServer()
IS_COOP = isCoopHost()
IS_SINGLEPLAYER = IS_CLIENT == false and IS_SERVER == false

general rule of what code is considered what ^^

#

Though you can include server lua files in client lua files and vice-versa.

quiet fulcrum
#

thanks, and then files within those folders are alphabetically loaded by default I guess?

grizzled fulcrum

yes

Hey, I'm currently looking into modding in items and recipes. Fairly new to that (other than clothes).
Just to learn first, I wanna make something food related. I see that Evolved Recipes are those in which one can add new ingredients and spices and I see that the "EvolvedRecipe =" at various food items declare if one can add them to the food.

My question is, how would I add in a new entry to this parameter if I'm making a mod? Is there some function, to add something to that or would I have to copy the whole food entry into my mod and make the changes there? I'd assume this could cause problems with mods that also add or change that single incredient, right?

How can I get a helicopter object or find out when a helicopter event started?

grizzled fulcrum

#

if the event is set to recur these values will get updated at midnight after the last event ends

#

you can get a helicopter object but it isn't exposed so you can't really do anything with it

muted garnet
#

is it possible to do something with helicopter in IsoWorld? As far as I can see, IsoWorld interacts with the helicopter

image.png
bronze yoke
#

not really, you can use reflection to get the object but it's not exposed so you can't do anything with it

#

if you could find a method that took a helicopter argument you could call it with that but i don't think there's anything like that

#

the helicopter stuff is very simple and hardcoded

muted garnet
#

Got it, then please tell me Is it possible to call lua function after calling DebugLog.log("chopper: activated"); ?

image.png
#

And can you please tell me more about intercepting methods? Is it possible to call lua code after calling a method with passing arguments of this method, or did I misunderstand you? Please explain in more detail

bronze yoke
#

oh, what i meant by that is if you can get an instance of a class, even if it's not exposed, you can still pass that *to* functions

#

you just can't call any of its class methods

#

e.g. if you had a method like```java
public void doSomethingWithAHelicopter(Helicopter heli) {
...
}

muted garnet
#

Thanks, got it, but what about the DebugLog, can I call my code after sending this log?

bronze yoke
#

i don't think so, i don't know if you can read that log or anything

grizzled fulcrum
#

thats smart, read the log and check when it logs that

#

But is there no getTarget()? Why would you specifically need to call stuff right after this being sent? It depends on what you want to do

bronze yoke
#

i don't think the helicopter is exposed

muted garnet
grizzled fulcrum
#

oh im dumb

#

I am surprised there is no event for that sort of thing

muted garnet
#

hmm, are there any events or methods that indicate the current event?

#

which are capable of indicating the helicopter event

grizzled fulcrum
#

not that I can see

#

I can only imagine how easy this would be if pz had a lua event system integrated (like with custom conditional events)

muted garnet
#

thanks, then is it possible to get the current sound of the helicopter and call code by it?

grizzled fulcrum
#

like you want to check if the sound is playing and then do your code?

muted garnet
#

yes

grizzled fulcrum
#

GameSounds.getSound("Helicopter") this is how Java does it and I believe GameSounds is exposed in lua

#

then do this check too like in Java if sound ~= nil and sound.clips:isEmpty() == false then

#

I am not 100% sure if this will work completely but it's worth a try

#

I think there's like 50 ways to check if a sound is playing, it's really confusing 😵‍💫

I understand that the recipes are entered here. But I was more looking making an own evolvedrecipe and what ingredients one can add afterwards.
I understand that it is declared in the food items itself in the marked line and that the names corresponds to the evolvedrecipe (like how sandwich or salad are declared in the evolvedrecipe.txt). My question was more about, if I make a new evolvedrecipe and for example want lettuce to be addable to that (not being the base resource), would I need to copy the whole lettuce entry into my own mod or would something like this be enough?:

    {
        EvolvedRecipe = Sandwich:3;Burger:3;Salad:5;Sandwich Baguette:3;Taco:3;Burrito:3;OwnEntry:3,
    }```

What you should do is simply use DoParam on a script item to add or modify existing parameters

Tho I can't explain to you the whole process of it as I'm not 100% aware of how it is done but it is a thing which you can do easily

small topaz
# barren goblet Is there perhaps a tutorial on it somewhere?

Here is a minimal example of how the DoParam command can be used to alter existing scripts:


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

  if item then
     item:DoParam("Weight = 0.5")
  end
end

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(changeLettuce)```

This would change the weight from 0.2 to 0.5 and the code should go into your shared folder.

Problem is that I do not know whether you can use this to easily append a new entry in the evolvedrecipe list. Maybe you have to experiment a bit. Easiest way might be to simply overwrite the evolvedrecipe list using smth like

```item:DoParam("EvolvedRecipe = Sandwich:3;Burger:3;Salad:5;Sandwich Baguette:3;Taco:3;Burrito:3;OwnEntry:3")```

But that's probably not the best way. 

The PZ javadoc contains several commands related to the evolvedrecipe list. Maybe you want to have a look at it. (See here: https://projectzomboid.com/modding/zombie/scripting/objects/EvolvedRecipe.html).

Just do this in a new file?
#

err-

Would I just do SWFancyLanterns (The original module name) in my folder then just the item?

to make sure nothing strange happens, you might also filter out items with location "ZedDmg" (but not 100% sure if this is necessary; also possible that this is only applied to Zeds and not player characters)

anyone has an idea on how to filter out things that can't have blood? Like belt or socks

Can I display text next to the cursor?

dull moss
#

like a tooltip?

stoic kayak
#

Sorta, but follows the mouse in the world

dull moss
#

I'm 90% sure you'd have to do UI for that and trust me you really don't want to do UI

sour island
#

You can use the renderer directly

stoic kayak
#

Oh?

sour island
#

getRenderer() get the object used to render stuff

stoic kayak
#

What renderer would that be?

#

looking at the java api x3

sour island
#

Let me check, getRenderer is used for sprites - there was a way to just draw text.

stoic kayak
#

IsoRegionsRenderer has RenderString

#

of course, for all I know, that could be locked down x3

sour island
#

getTextManager I think

#

IsoRegionRenderer is for debug tools I think

stoic kayak
#

Ah ok

sour island
#

This is what the UI drawText functions call

stoic kayak
#

TextManager- Could I do that from mouse move?
Thinking of making a thing to follow the mouse and show info from last clicked cell location.

sour island
#

The only 'trick' is to figure out which overload to use, as the arguments have to be exact.

stoic kayak
#

Area Remove I made, but it's hard to know if I've reached the limit or not, so the info would show "###x###" as ya move the mouse around

sour island
#

You can use getMouseX() getMouseY() for that

stoic kayak
#

so should be good to call it from there?

sour island
#

I made a mod that shows the cell your mouse is over in the map

#

But that uses UI

stoic kayak
#

Oh, how do I get the TextManager?
And sohuld I get it outside of the on mouse or do I have to get inside?

#

oh wait I'm dumb for the first question

#

Lets try this

#

Why does it need a double?
That's not percent right?

#

Hmm-

small topaz
dull moss
# small topaz not 100% sure but I think clothing items whose script.txt definitions don't have...

I looked into it a bit, here's the interesting part:

    {
        DisplayCategory = Clothing,
        Type = Clothing,
        DisplayName = Socks,
        ClothingItem = Socks_Ankle,
        BodyLocation = Socks,
        Icon = SocksAnkleWhite,
        BloodLocation = Shoes,
        Insulation = 0.15,
        WindResistance = 0.1,
        Weight = 0.1,
        FabricType = Cotton,
        WorldStaticModel = Sock_Ankle_Ground,
    }```
```    item Shoes_TrainerTINT
    {
        DisplayCategory = Clothing,
        Type = Clothing,
        DisplayName = Sneakers,
        ClothingItem = Shoes_TrainerTINT,
        BodyLocation = Shoes,
        BloodLocation = Shoes,
        Icon = ShoesRunningWhite,
        StompPower = 1.8,
        ConditionLowerChanceOneIn = 10,
        ConditionMax = 24,
        RunSpeedModifier = 1.1,
        RemoveOnBroken = false,
        ScratchDefense = 10,
        Insulation = 0.35,
        WindResistance = 0.25,
        WorldStaticModel = Shoes_Ground,
    }```
#

both of them have blood location

small topaz
#

are you sure that those items cannot become bloody? for example, belt or underpants cannot become bloody and have no bloodlocation

dull moss
#

hm

#

lemme check

small topaz
#

there is also a mod which allows underpants becoming bloody and does it by simply adding a bloodlocation

dull moss
#

oh wait what if blood applies in layers

#

so socks cant get bloody cuz shoes are over

#

YEP

#

that was it

#

i took off my shoes and socks started to become bloody

stoic kayak
#

Doesn't seem to appear at all.

#

No errors tho

dull moss
#

there's no method to get BloodLocation from an item tho

sour island
stoic kayak
#

OnMouseMove, which is where highlight is being called x3
how do I do stuff per frame now- hmm-

sour island
#

OnMouseMove is a UI call

#

If you're already using a UI, you can just call drawText from the UI

stoic kayak
#

Events.OnMouseMove.Add(RCHT_ExtraTools.HighlightSquare)

sour island
#

That's not a standard event is it?

stoic kayak
#

I mean- it's under Events and I think I got it from the fire brush tool

#

wait I didn't-

#

Oh I got it from Cheat Menu

sour island
#

OnMouseMove is a UI function call

#

Unless cheats menu added their own event for something

stoic kayak
#

so- guess I need to see if cheat menu is adding it x3

sour island
#

You can use either: OnPreUIDraw or OnPostUIDraw

dull moss
#

@small topaz I figured I'll just check only items that can have holes

#

best effort to accuracy ratio

#

since there's no method to get BloodLocation from item

stoic kayak
sour island
#

Weird, I ctrl+f'd and it didn't show up

#

Returns 4 doubles

stoic kayak
#

I mean, it aslo seems to be called similar to render as opposed to mouse move.
setHighlight, default is only for 1 render right?

sour island
#

The second set seems to be related to the map

stoic kayak
#

And it works fine if I just have it do a single arg setHighlight in mouse move

sour island
#

setHightlight works a bit differently but yes

#

MouseMove appears to work the same as the UI one, which is when the mouse is moved - so adding the render call there won't work unless you keep moving the mouse around

#

If you want text to appear you're better off using the event's I mentioned

stoic kayak
#

So yea, looks like I might need to make a new event thing. Probably pre draw, so I don't have it overlapping stuff.

#

Meant to be sorta- like- well, like the highlighted object xP

#

Then I guess I can just change the line I have in mouse move to be setting 2 values, then read them from render event?

#

What do I do when I'm finished with highlighting an object, if I changed it's highlight color? Do I just let whatever else will be highlighting the stuff handle it, or should I change it to be back to original highlight color or?

#

If the latter, I have a slight issue xD

stoic kayak
#

Ok, so it seems to be working!
And I'm making it so when ya open context menu is grabs the screen width (Not when script is loaded incase resolution is changed or something)
Then, as ya move the mouse, it if goes off screen, it will stop where it is on that axis

scarlet geode
#

this will probably be a really awkward question but how do i get the game to read my lua scripts
i can absolutely swear on my steam account ive read every guide, half of this server, half of the forum and most of the workshop mods i got and yet i still cant get it to work

stoic kayak
#

read it how

#

run the script?
If a mod, ya needa make sure the mod is laoded

scarlet geode
#

well it appears in the mod loader so id assume i am doing smthng wrong

stoic kayak
#

Existing save or new save

scarlet geode
#

always new

stoic kayak
#

user\Zomboid\mods\CoolModName\media\lua\client\CoolScriptName.lua?

scarlet geode
#

yup

stoic kayak
#

Console showing any errors?

scarlet geode
#

not anything related to my mod

stoic kayak
#

Try putting a new file next to it that just says "THIS IS A TEST PRINT. HELLO WORLD!"

#

Then look for that in console.

stoic kayak
scarlet geode
stoic kayak
#

oh wait, in a print I mean

scarlet geode
#

so like a new script that just prints?

stoic kayak
# 
print("THIS IS A TEST PRINT. HELLO WORLD!")```
#

I hope that's a funny thing and not like a dev command that they forgot to remove and I'm just causing the bot to crash by accident xD

scarlet geode
#

i dont really get wdym by "Try putting a new file next to it"

stoic kayak
#

The lua file, make a new file next to it, same directory.

scarlet geode
#

ah

stoic kayak
#

Oh, dumb question but also, it's a lua file right? xP

#

Not just ending with .lua, but an actual lua file

#

By default, windows will hide file extensions.

scarlet geode
#

yes lua files have a .lua extension

stoic kayak
#

So just makin sure ya made windows show ya file extensions. Ya know xD

scarlet geode
#

oh a quick question
how often does the game reload lua? every loading? or do i have to force it

stoic kayak
#

Every loading of the mod

#

Oh

scarlet geode
stoic kayak
#

Idk if this is relevant, but normally I have the mod unloaded in menu, but loaded for the save

#

MAYBE it doesn't reload lua if it's enabled in menu?

#

Try unloading it, then open a save with it loaded. Or unload it and load it again in menu

#

Also, on my own thing, it works! Huzza!
I was making it just jump to offset from the side of the screen, but that looks weird, so I made it just stop instead and it works nicely x3

lofty frigate
#

When is a player's corpse created? With the "OnCharacterDeath" event the corpse has not yet been created. With the "OnObjectAdded" event is when the corpse is created?

scarlet geode
#

i decided to just straight up restart the game for the like 13th time just to be sure and it suddenly works? stressed

dull moss
#

oh it works

#

use debug mode and then you can force reload luas from main screen

#

in 90% of cases it works

#

there are some things that fired on game launch, those are not reloaded with that button

#

afaik

#

also i think for textures you gotta reload the game? fuck knows

scarlet geode
dull moss
#

menu -> reload -> back to save
or
f11 -> find your lua in list on right (you can typoe its name) -> click on it -> reload it slightly higher

#

2nd option works midsave but you gotta know what you reloading

#

as in if you have an event that fires at character loading into the world. reloading lua from midsave won't do shit

scarlet geode
#

sounds like multiple pointless steps

dull moss
#

both are great if you know what you using them for

scarlet geode
#

kinda used to from pd that it reloads lua on all loadings meaning i can just restart with just 1 button and be ready to test my change within few secs
here for some reason whenever i reload lua it takes me almost a full minute for the game to unfreeze which is weird considering my friend has the same mods and way worse pc yet its faster

#

doubt that made sense
i got somehow lost in the middle of the message lmaooo

dull moss
#

well when you reload lua it reloads all luas. Don't dev while having 300 mods enabled

scarlet geode
#

fair enough

#

still weird it takes years to load

dull moss
#

also 2nd option reloads only specific lua

#

mid-save

#

but as I said you have to know what you're doing and what you're reloading

scarlet geode
#

yea that is fair

stoic kayak
#

I end up wanting to make a small that ends up being large but shhh change mid playing so I am like "Ok, lets use Visual Studio Code for a live console log, and just edit some code real quick instead of launching in debug!"
So I don't really have debug tools at my disposal xD

dull moss
#

if you dont run pz in debug mode while modding you just shooting yourself in a foot honestly

stoic kayak
#

Tbf, I mostly found ways to sorta get it working.
Visual Studio lets me have a live log. Cheat Menu has a lua interpreter. And so far, not doing much that I can't use those for

#

Now, before I got the live log working, yea- I had to use getPlayer():Say(tostring()) to do simple debugging b/c print only does console xD

dull moss
#

there's console in debug mode

#

where all prints are going

#

live console xd

stoic kayak
#

Ye, but again, I plan on just making a simple change so I don't think I need to relauch it- then it's like 3 hours later xD

red tiger
#

I wonder if it'd be worth looking into optimizing interops for Kahlua again.

#

The main show-stopper for this sort of mini-project would be due to the hard-coded & grafted nature of PZ with Kahlua specifically that'd hamper any sort of benchmarking.

#

The time it takes for Kahlua to convert its LVM context to the JVM is a major player in the TPS for PZ.

#

Kahlua utilizes JDK 1.6 technology which is incredibly dated which is also a problem IMO. =/

#

These sorts of operations are stuff I have experience working with for several years so I'm wondering if looking into that would be worth the time.

pop quiz: does gunfire causes hard of hearing?

#

(in your mod)

dull moss
#

I haven't gotten a single non-bug-related complaint in 95 pages of comments so yknow

#

Not exactly same situation on there

drifting ore
#

hard to complain about bad settings when you can just change them

dull moss
drifting ore
#

though there's a caveat that some mods use world sounds to attract zombies by creating an extremely loud noise without an audio file directly over the player

dull moss
#

hm

drifting ore
#

so that might be hard to distinguish from firing a gun

#

but maybe if a player fires a gun, then the source of the noise is the player itself

#

so yeah maybe just ignoring sounds without a source object would solve that issue

dull moss
#

doesnt really matter atm

#

maybe later

drifting ore
#

it's just one of the first things i've noticed when looking at the screenshot, was that hearing was a dynamic trait, and I thought - why would that be dynamic? Or if it is, it should only get worse, never better.

#

you know, as a tinnitus afecionado and concussion enjoyer. That stuff doesn't goes away.

dull moss
#

Yea, no, I dont have a single negative trait that can be only earned and not lost

#

Unless you change sandbox settings to not be able to lose negative traits

drifting ore
#

That's kind of a blanket setting, right? So why would you set that? Being able to gain overweight but never able to lose it, that kind of stuff.

dull moss
drifting ore

you have gain speed and lose speed settings, right?

are you using the sumnekolua plugin?

dull moss
#

yep

bronze yoke
#

i'll have a look at it - we don't really target intellij but now that it's mostly cross compatible we can at least try

dull moss
#

without - works as expected, with - 0 flags

image.png image.png
bronze yoke
#

i'm not getting any spell checking even without umbrella

dull moss
#

Do you have it enabled tho?

image.png
#

disabled all plugins, vanilla IntelliJ spellchecks:

image.png
bronze yoke
#

yup

#

yeah i get spellchecks with no plugins but not with the lua plugin

dull moss
#

Features say spellchecking present

image.png
#

But it actually disables what's already there PepeLaugh

#

oh

#

when setting up umbrella we make .luarc.json

#

ctrl+f for spell

#

it's in "diagnostics.disable": {

#

I don't think it straight up enabled

bronze yoke
#

is it disabled by default? i don't think that's the vscode behaviour

dull moss
#

I think it's disabled in schema, lemme tinker and see

bronze yoke
#

the schema doesn't do anything, you could remove that line and it would parse exactly the same

dull moss
#

oh

#

then idk

bronze yoke
#

the schema just indicates what kind of file it is and what fields are valid for autocomplete when you're editing it

dull moss
#

oh

#

ye then idk

#

it's just borked

bronze yoke
#

most of that .luarc.json is just converted from the settings the vscode plugin sets, it's just made to set things that are unique to pz's environment so if the intellij plugin has some weird default settings it won't fix them

dull moss
#

but it really sucks, typos are pain

bronze yoke
#

looks like it is off by default

dull moss
#

how would one turn it on, I couldn't find anything in IntelliJ settings

#

besides vanilla settings

bronze yoke
#

yeah this is one of the main reasons i didn't consider the intellij port worthwhile

#

there are no in-ide settings, you have to write a .luarc.json

#

adding ```
"diagnostics.neededFileStatus": {
"spell-check": "Any"
}

dull moss
#

Guess time to migrate ETW to VSCode xd

#

Got a bunch of IDEs lying around anyway

#

vscode is the best choice imo

#

the sumneko port to intellij is exciting but it's still comparatively lackluster

I kinda like both of them so no biggie

I do like extensive Intellij settings better tho

#

Or at least the layout

i prefer jetbrains ides a great deal

Ye well I like my code and comments without typos

grizzled fulcrum
#

Also, you should set up your luarc for vscode well, it will help you

#

The luals defaults for errors like possible nil values and stuff are all really really low (like hints and warnings at max) whereas I like to have them error because I don't like having possible nil values that aren't optionals

#

As an example. this is my luarc for my latest mod, but I usually copy paste it over all my mods and just change the small things per project

📎 luarc.json
#

Although I don't need these globals defined here anymore because I have a lib folder, this was from when I first setup the project.

#

yeah the default settings are really strange, i recommend anyone to go through the extension settings

umbrella will reconfigure a couple things to match pz syntax and stuff but i deliberately didn't make any other changes so i'd still recommend reviewing them

dull moss
grizzled fulcrum
#

yes

bronze yoke
#

you can but you can just change them in-ide

grizzled fulcrum
#

you can change them in vscode too ^^^^

#

but I prefer luarc so it's universal for people not just including me

#

and also remember to set up an editorconfig file, because I noticed sometimes luals sucks at formatting without it

#

schema

dull moss

#

you can change that

#

I just have a bias for whitespace because in my opinion it feels cleaner

#

but I guess that is the default

dull moss
#

Ye, looking for a way to change that. Would that be Lua extention settings?

grizzled fulcrum
#

I change it in editorconfig

#

you can set spaces or tabs or smart tabs

#

luarc doesn't change code style options

dull moss
#

I don't have editorconfig set up

Ye, going over that editing things atm :D

#

Also in the luarc I posted before, I realised some problems so I changed some stuff which you can see, but remember to put the path to umbrella in the libraries list at the bottom!!!

ye already edited it

Either im missing it or me dum dum but which setting in editorconfig responsible for complainging about whitespace after function?
aka
local debug = function() return EvolvingTraitsWorld.settings.GatherDebug end
gives
missing whitespace after token 'function'
I assumed its
line_space_after_function_statement
but I changed it to false and it doesnt change anything PepeThink

grizzled fulcrum
#

there should definitely be a vanilla game UI you can look at in the lua

scarlet geode
grizzled fulcrum
#

wait no thats for doing like test[space here]()

#

space_before_function_open_parenthesis = false

#

that is right one

dull moss
#

Already got it on false

#

space_before_function_call_single_arg = false

#

this was it

#

wait no

#

oh actually my workspace was borked

#

had to reload it

#

silly me assumed it applied on the fly

#

Or maybe it still doesn't work? Idk, sleep time MichaelDespair

alight so i am having a weird problem where the damage overlay is making the texture blue for some reason i tried it with the map and its made the colors blue at one point a put a black bar and instead of it been black a was made into a dark purpleish blue

image.png image.png
maiden thistle
#

i just realized this sounds dumb so the damage scratch's are very light blue which looks very weird so i been trying to fix it but its not working but it has to be this mod in particular because the other cars aren't having this problem but since i didnt make the mod i have no idea where to look

@bronze yoke since you're VSCode for PZ enjoyer, do you have an idea how to make it ignore PZ vanilla code? Namely problems window, it keeps finding problems in vanilla pz folder that i added to workspace?

#

I've added

        "files.exclude": {
            "../../../../../Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/media/lua/**": true
        },
        "search.exclude": {
            "../../../../../Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/media/lua/**": true
        },
        "files.watcherExclude": {
            "../../../../../Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/media/lua/**": true
        }
    }```
to code-workspace file hoping that'd do it but to no avail

#

Pretty sure the Lua language server has its own “ignore” setting

#

(the reason I say pretty sure is because I'm not at my desktop to just confirm)

dull moss
#

I added it there too

#

"Lua.diagnostics.enable"

frank elbow
#

That might apply to the Lua in your current directory, rather than all diagnostics. I'm referring to a setting like the above ones, with file paths to ignore

dull moss
#

ye that's the point, I dont want it to run diagnostics in vanilla PZ folder

#

in my folder i have the same and its enabled

frank elbow
#

What I mean is that those are vs code settings, which may not apply if vs code is not open in that directory

#

In the dark time before Umbrella, I always added the decompiled game folder as a library & had it set to not diagnose library files

dull moss
#

I'm using umbrella atm

#

But idk how to add pz lua folder as library so its abailable in workspace for quick access

#

Besides adding a folder to workspace

bronze yoke
#

if you're adding it as part of your project i'm not sure if you can get it to ignore all problems

dull moss
#

Ok, question: any way to have vanilla lua folder in workspace for browsing and stuff?

#

Without extensions choking on it

bronze yoke
#

i usually just open it in another window

dull moss
dull moss
#

fuck it i'll just keep using intelliJ without spellcheck

grizzled fulcrum
#

You see how I have put my pz lua in workspace.library?

dull moss
#

I did that too

grizzled fulcrum
#

it treats it as a 3rd party lib

bronze yoke
#

the difference is they want to add it to the project proper

grizzled fulcrum
#

you also need to set diagnostics.libraryFiles to disabled too

bronze yoke
#

i don't think you can have it ignore actual project files

grizzled fulcrum
#

Like copy paste the files or something?

bronze yoke
#

it's not a library, the folder is added to the workspace

dull moss
#

No

#

Gimme like 5 min to get my vscode back and running

grizzled fulcrum

#

I've been switching IDEs franticly recently

grizzled fulcrum
#

I usually just open mine in a separate window but

dull moss
#

Why you all like to open em separately PepeLaugh

grizzled fulcrum
bronze yoke
#

i think you can have per folder settings in a workspace so i guess you could just turn off all inspections in that folder

grizzled fulcrum
#

you can create a .vscode folder in the PZ lua folder \media\lua\.vscode and put stuff in it if that helps

grizzled fulcrum
dull moss
#

Yes I tried

grizzled fulcrum
#

wat o_o

dull moss
grizzled fulcrum
#

I honestly don't know

#

Maybe you could set a luarc file in the pz lua directory?

#

Though I don't know why the vscode folder wouldn't work
