#

Yeah, no, it uses generics

#

Not subclasses

#

So it's an instance of Class<InventoryItem>, and getClass() on that is just Class.

weary matrix
#

writing some java code to prove you wrong 😂

#

@teal slate so if you compile this:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class Test {

    public int someMethod() {
        return 0;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Test test = new Test();
        Method[] methods = test.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
        for (Method method : methods) {
            System.out.println(method);
        }
    }
}
``` and run it, it prints this:
```$ java Test 
public static void Test.main(java.lang.String[]) throws java.lang.Exception
public int Test.someMethod()
teal slate
#

that's not what I'm doing, though

#

oh wait

#

public class Test

#

yeah, but

#

that's because you made a subtype of class

#

try it with Test as an object

weary matrix
# 
        Test test = new Test();
        Method[] methods = test.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();```
teal slate
#

public class Test

weary matrix
#

so what?

#

in LuaManager it's the same:

        @LuaMethod(name = "getClassFunction", global = true)
        public static Method getClassFunction(Object object, int int1) {
            Method method = object.getClass().getDeclaredMethods()[int1];
            return method;
        }
#

InventoryItem is declared as a class too?

#

I mean it is a class, the same way my Test class is

teal slate
#

wait

#

aghhh i'm

#

i haven't slept

#

:)

#

yeah, i'm silly

#

it won't work, darn

#

though, wait

#

Method[] methods = test.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();

#

what i'm doing is effectively equivalent to Method[] methods = test.getClass().getClass().getDeclaredMethods();

#

try that @weary matrix

weary matrix
#

sure

#

hold on

#

ok this one indeed returns the method from Class

#

because you're getting the superclass of Class<Test> which is Class<Class> or just Class

#

but from Lua I presume you'd need the class Class to be exposed right?

teal slate
#

I don't think so!

#

Because we never pass Class around.

weary matrix
#

how do you get a reference to the super class of Class<Clothing>?

teal slate
#

Rather, we don't manipulate the userdata in Lua at all. We just pass the userdata between various Java functions.

#

Not being exposed doesn't mean we can't access the class; it just means it doesn't have a metatable set.

weary matrix
#

yes, so how would you get access to the methods of Class?

teal slate
#

Via getClassFunction, which is a global function in Lua.

#

If we can't call a Method directly, well... it was worth a shot!

weary matrix
#

but the getClassFunction() is doing the same as the Test example I showed you, so it wouldn't allow us to get reference to the methods of Class

teal slate
weary matrix
#

it would only give access to the method of InventoryItem

teal slate
#

InventoryItem.class is equivalent to getClass() on an InventoryItem.

#

And getClassFunction calls getClass() on the object passed, so it's basically inventoryItem.getClass().getClass().getDeclaredMethods()

weary matrix
#

it is, but it will return a Class<InventoryItem> not a class, the same way my test.getClass() returns Class<Test> not class

teal slate
#

no, that's what InventoryItem.class is

#

that's Class<InventoryItem>

#

calling getClass() on Class<InventoryItem> will just give Class

weary matrix
#

@teal slate what's the difference between getClassFunction and this:

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Test test = new Test();
        Method[] methods = test.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
        for (Method method : methods) {
            System.out.println(method);
        }
    }
}
teal slate
#

Nothing, that should work

weary matrix
#

no

teal slate
#

oh you edited it

weary matrix
#

as I showed you it only prints the methods from the class Test

teal slate
#

like I said, test is an object

weary matrix
#

yeah I copy pasted the last version by mistake

teal slate
#

do getClass().getClass()

#

like

#

the difference is in what yo're passing

weary matrix
#

but you can't call getClass().getClass() with the method getClassFunction:

        @LuaMethod(name = "getClassFunction", global = true)
        public static Method getClassFunction(Object object, int int1) {
            Method method = object.getClass().getDeclaredMethods()[int1];
            return method;
        }
teal slate
# 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Test test = new Test();
        listClassFunctions(test);
        listClassFunctions(test.getClass());
    }

    public static void listClassFunctions(Object obj)
    {
        Method[] methods = obj.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
        for (Method method : methods) {
            System.out.println(method);
        }
    }
teal slate
#

we're not passing an InventoryItem instance

#

we're passing Class<InventoryItem>

#

(which is what the Lua variable InventoryItem.class is)

weary matrix
#

no 😂

#

let me show you

#

@teal slate ```java
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class Test {

public int someMethod() {
    return 0;
}

public static void listClassFunctions(Object obj) {
    Method[] methods = obj.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
    for (Method method : methods) {
        System.out.println(method);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Test test = new Test();
    listClassFunctions(test);
}

}

$ javac Test.java
$ java Test
public static void Test.main(java.lang.String[]) throws java.lang.Exception
public static void Test.listClassFunctions(java.lang.Object)
public int Test.someMethod()

teal slate
#

you're creating a new Test

#

InventoryItem.class is equivalent to (new InventoryItem).getClass()

#

which is Class<InventoryItem>

#

then we do getNumClassFunctions(InventoryItem.class)

#

which calls getClass() on Class<InventoryItem>

#

which returns Class.

weary matrix
#

ah now I see what you mean 😂

#

sorry

teal slate
#

It's fine, I was having a little trouble understanding myself until I sat down and put it all together

#

This is why you don't not sleep and code

weary matrix
#

so let's assume we can get all the method of Class with this:

local Class = {}
for i=0, getNumClassFunctions(InventoryItem.class) - 1 do -- any class would work
    local func = getClassFunction(InventoryItem.class, i)
    Class[func:getName()] = func
end```
How would you pass the instance on which to call Class.cast()?
weary matrix
teal slate
#

I'm not 100% sure if you can call Methods from Lua like this, but it's worth a shot

weary matrix
#

but Class.cast() only takes on argument not two

#

I mean Class.cast() is not a static method from Class

teal slate
#

Exactly.

#

Instance methods in lua take the first argument as the instance to run it on.

weary matrix
#

aah ok

#

hmm let's try it

teal slate
#

So instead of instance.instanceMethod(), you'd use instance:instanceMethod(), which is syntactic sugar for instance.instanceMethod(instance)

weary matrix
#

so this is what you mean right?

    local Class = {}
    for i=0, getNumClassFunctions(InventoryItem.class) - 1 do -- any class would work
        local func = getClassFunction(InventoryItem.class, i)
        Class[func:getName()] = func
    end

    for k = 0, items:size() - 1 do

        local item = items:get(k)
        local superclass = Class.getSuperclass(InventoryItem.class, item)
        local test = Class.cast(superclass, item)
        print('DEBUG')
        print(test)
#

hmmm
Exception thrown java.lang.RuntimeException: Object public native java.lang.Class java.lang.Class.getSuperclass() did not have __call metatable set at KahluaUtil.fail line:82.

#

guess I have to call metatable() and declare a __call method but not sure how

#

I really suck at Lua

teal slate
#

Are you running it in debug mode?

#

Oh, wait. Might be a special way to invoke Methods

weary matrix
#

yes with debug mode

#

shouldn't I?

teal slate
#

You should, yeah

#

I'll look into the methods thing in a bit

#

Aha, it's invoke

#

Class.getSuperclass.invoke(InventoryItem.class)

#

Class.cast.invoke(superclass, item)

weary matrix
#

interesting, I think the call for getSuperclass is working, if I do this: Class.getSuperclass:invoke(InventoryItem.class), but then getting an error on the cast

#

got an error but no exception

#

trying again with a fresh start

#

damn

# 
        local superclass = Class.getSuperclass:invoke(InventoryItem.class)
        local test = Class.cast:invoke(superclass, item)
``` is giving me just this error, but no real stack trace 😦

also this bit can be put anywhere in your code, ideally it would only be run once

(*ideally-*ideally none of this would be necessary)

weary matrix

hmm but cast() only takes one argument, two if you count the object receiving the call

#

how could it work with 3 arguments?

mmm maybe I don't need to call getSuperclass() at all actually

OnZombieSpawn event?

drifting ore

OnZombieUpdate is a loop no?

it is

# drifting ore OnZombieUpdate is a loop no?

but you can do something like this:

not sure that would work depending what you're trying to achieve though

Anyone know if it's possible to "add" a mesh to another with a mod? I want to create a mod that allows players to reinforce cars with metal plates mad max style.

I should probably start by adding a new car of some sort I guess and work my way up from there.

and I definitely want mad max style cars !!!! 😄 😄 😄

Hey @weary matrix you seems pretty much skilled with modData manipulation, I was wondering, how can I add modData to some IsoObject?

This crashed for me ⤵️

for i=0,sq:getObjects():size()-1 do
    ...
    local tileIsoObject = sq:getObjects():get(i);
    ...
    local modData = tileIsoObject:getModData():getOrCreate('BarricadedWorld')

getOrCreate is static IIRC

hey, is there any guide or some info on how ZombiesZoneDefinition works?

weary matrix
glass rampart
#

sigh i see, ty any way

weary matrix
glass rampart
#

well it is sort of understandable how it is working, im digging rn through one of the mods to find out how where is object that he adds

#

i mean like ZombiesZoneDefinition.Police = { Leon = { name="Leon", chance=20, gender="male", beardStyles="null:80", }, Jillstars = { name="Jillstars", chance=20, gender="female", },

#

so basically this author set obj leon and it should have its own items correct?

weary matrix
#

i guess

glass rampart
#

but where did he defined this items i cant find

well at least this is what i am trying to figure out

Found a bumper model that looks pretty good:

Good point, I always get confused by these things! However the crash persists, from my experiments, tileIsoObject:getModData() returns a table but running .getOrCreate('BarricadedWorld') on it triggers a crash 🤔

local modData = tileIsoObject:getModData()
if modData then
local myModData = modData.getOrCreate('BarricadedWorld') <--- Crash here

@glass rampart so IsoZombie.DoZombieInventory has this code:

                this.getInventory().removeAllItems();
                this.getInventory().setSourceGrid(this.getCurrentSquare());
                this.wornItems.setFromItemVisuals(this.itemVisuals);
                this.wornItems.addItemsToItemContainer(this.getInventory());
                InventoryItem inventoryItem;
                for (int int1 = 0; int1 < this.attachedItems.size(); ++int1) {
                    AttachedItem attachedItem = this.attachedItems.get(int1);
                    inventoryItem = attachedItem.getItem();
                    if (!this.getInventory().contains(inventoryItem)) {
                        inventoryItem.setContainer(this.getInventory());
                        this.getInventory().getItems().add(inventoryItem);
                    }
                }
``` but not reallly sure that's helpful
#

guess te magic lies within those lines:

                this.wornItems.setFromItemVisuals(this.itemVisuals);
                this.wornItems.addItemsToItemContainer(this.getInventory());```

# weary matrix aawww thank you man, feels good to hear ❤️

some ppl just forget to say simple "thank you" after they receive help and it is kind of demoralizing in some way, and simple "thank you" can make you feel much better and feel that you have not spend your time in vain, ppl tends to forget that to help some one you need to spend your own time and brain power!

hi guys sorry to bother but I am trying to learn how to mod and have a question: I was reading some codes from mods and was wondering how many times does a function registered on the event Event.OnPlayerUpdate is called per second

weary matrix
#

hehe 👍

winged lotus
weary matrix
orchid bane
weary matrix
#

yeah

weary matrix
weary matrix
winged lotus
#

Smart! I'll see how I could to that

orchid bane
# weary matrix yeah

but is there like a standard tick rate? or that should not be used to count time passed for example? and TY very much @weary matrix for the swift reply

weary matrix
# winged lotus Smart! I'll see how I could to that

something like this maybe?:

local allWindows = {}
function LoadGridsquare(square)
    if square:hasWindowOrWindowFrame() then
        local key = square:getX() .. 'x' .. square:getY()
        allWindows[key] = true
    end
end```
weary matrix
#

like store the return value once, and at a later time you call getGameTime.getTimeOfDay() again and compute the difference to see how much time has passed?

orchid bane
#

oh ok I see, so the OnPlayerUpdate is called several times per real second and if it is something the is related to game time it is a better if i use those functions since it saves time for cpu. Is that correct?

weary matrix
#

depends if you need in-game time or real-time

orchid bane
#

TY so much for all the help, You are AWESOME @weary matrix 👍

Has anyone previously run into this error with sendServerCommand? It seems you can't save the player at all, but I would like to specifically filter out the player who sent the command. I can get around this by sending the player's online ID, and then getting the player by online ID, but I would rather skip that and pass the player if possible.
ERROR: sendServerCommand: can't save key,value=playerShooting,zombie.characters.IsoPlayer@120df990

local args = {handWeaponSoundRadius = args.handWeaponSoundRadius, playerShooting = player}
sendServerCommand('DeafFromGuns', 'toclient', args) --send command to client
#

I know there's also sendServerCommand() with player as the first argument, but that seems to only call the command on that client, rather than pass the player at all.

#

On the plus side, there's quite a few ways to work around this.

@lapis stump its best to reload the savegame. (go back to menu and go back in game)
Otherwise with the -Ddebug enabled you can access the debug window with F11.
Then you can find the script you want to reload

From Valve:

Using content from other mods
It's a sad fact, but in some cases content is also being lifted from one mod to another. It's often a misconception that just because a mod is free to download, its contents are also free for you to take and choose from as you wish.

Even if a mod is free or not, the creators of any original work included within it (sounds, materials, models, source code) own the copyright for their work. This is true if you are a high-school kid, a corporation, or just some other modder who puts stuff together for fun. Every author gains these rights by default when they create their work.

The authors alone can decide how and who may use their work and have the law behind them should they decide to take issue of anything used without permission. If you see something in another mod that would be of use to you in your own mod or map, your first step should be to contact the mod team and then specifically ask the creator of the item your after. They and they alone can give you permission to use their work.

If you create contents for mods and don't mind other people using your content, then it could save a lot of trouble and benefit the community as a whole if you release your works under a Creative Commons license. See the Official Website to select a License for your works.

All I was trying to do was update stats to make bins collect rain lol

teal slate
#

trying to find it...

west crystal
mental parrot
#

On first pass probably not, if I get further into PZ modding then possibly

#

I've considered both using them as standard and requiring bleach/cleaning agent to make them usueable, either way it'd be nice to not be a carpenter to catch meaningful rain.

teal slate
#

terrified at the prospect, but it might be that they're only defined on the maps in some weird bespoke way

#

still searching though

mental parrot
#

That's what I thought

west crystal
#

What exactly you guys are trying to do?

mental parrot
#

Find where the Bin items are referenced like the other items to hopefully alter their qualities such as rain collection

teal slate
#

the issue is that they're Moveables and those are

#

weird

west crystal
#

If you would anyway combine/craft them with bleach into different ones

teal slate
#

they said that was only one idea

nimble spoke

tile definitions

teal slate
#

NOOO

#

yeah

#

it's

#

in newtiledefinitions.tiles

and the worst part.... overriding tile definitions

I had a feeling they'd be there but not being familiar I went for asking vs seeking for hours

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

you have to edit it in the tile definitions

that and actually getting a job

i really wanna make an in depth trading card mod, where you can open packs of cards and get 3 cards from it, with diff rarities and holos / foils and stuff, i just am not sure where to start that project

#

i can make all the visual and 3d assets for it but i have 0 idea how to code lua or java, or script at all

#

do u guys have any pointers for how i might do this? :o

Unfortunately just altering the tile definitions didn't allow for bin rain collection so I'm guessing the moveable items are referenced elsewhere too unless a property they already have prevents the functionality.

the signature indicated that it takes java.lang.String and is static

#

Just outta curiosity, how hard would it be to create a new UI panel?

sour island
#

@iron salmon - Idk if this is the right place to ask but I'm stumped on something that I don't think anyone else could have experience with:

      if (GameClient.bClient && this.authOwner == null && (!this.bRemote || this.lastRemoteUpdate > 5000)) {
         DebugLog.log(DebugType.Zombie, "removing stale zombie 5000 id=" + this.OnlineID);
         DebugLog.log("Zombie: removing stale zombie 5000 id=" + this.OnlineID);
         removing stale zombie 5000.instance.removeZombieFromWorld(this);
      } else {

When I use addZombiesInOutfit() the zombies instantly despawn - giving the printout message above. I looked in media/lua/client/DebugUIs/ISSpawnHordeUI.lua which is the debug spawners:

   if isClient() then
        SendCommandToServer(string.format("/createhorde2 -x %d -y %d -z %d -count %d -radius %d -crawler %s -isFallOnFront %s -isFakeDead %s -knockedDown %s -health %s -outfit %s ", self.selectX, self.selectY, self.selectZ, count, radius, tostring(crawler), tostring(isFallOnFront), tostring(isFakeDead), tostring(knockedDown), tostring(health), outfit or ""))
        return
    end
    for i=1,count do
        local x = ZombRand(self.selectX-radius, self.selectX+radius+1);
        local y = ZombRand(self.selectY-radius, self.selectY+radius+1);
        addZombiesInOutfit(x, y, self.selectZ, 1, outfit, femaleChance, crawler, isFallOnFront, isFakeDead, knockedDown, health);
    end

Which features a isclient check that deviates from addzombies to a sendservercommand - which makes sense as the command originates off UI - and those zombies don't get hit with the "5000" message and don't get instantly deleted. If my lua is in the server folder, and I'm using addZombiesInOutfit() why are they getting instant deleted?

#

Similar issue with vehicles using addvehicledebug() - they appear for host but not players, and they don't get saved.

#

They also feature a sendservercommand for UI calls on the debug panel.

#

Hello everyone. I am wondering if anyone would be so kind to point me in the right direction. I have a lot of experience in C+ and Python coding but never sat down to learn lua deeply (I do this as a hobby). Is there a good updated tutorial somewhere? I'm not sure which ones are good...I am specifically trying to figure out how to pull a players username

sour island
#

you can browse the java and documentation for exposed classes and methods

#

but once you have the IsoPlayer in question you can use :getUsername()

stiff furnace
#

Yeah, I think once I figure out the syntax for lua, it will click much faster. I've been coding in python for so long that it feels like I'm back to zero lol

#

A lot of the same principles. I love how easy it is to add new items, weapons, and etc

sour island
#

that is scripting

#

but lua is very basic

stiff furnace
#

Wait....does does IsoPlayer player pull up the local player?

#

local username = Isoplayer(player):getUsername();

#

Like such?

sour island
#

not quite

#

each game has a client attached to it - getplayer() is short hand for getting the main player

#

it gets a bit trickier when you have coop players or online players

stiff furnace
#

Gotcha, so I assume in PZ that getplayer() on a dedicated server would not necessarily pull the local player

sour island
#

but the process is to gather up the isoplayers

thorn bane
#

Found my answer a bit ago, but thanks for the reply here <3

stiff furnace
#

I got something written up, but I know it's wrong lol

sour island
#

in mp the code would be running on client side

#

then updating the server

#

so getplayer would pull what ever player is doing the code

stiff furnace
#

Hmm okay, so close

#

So I am just trying to do check a players username and then add a trait(I think should be simple?) Could I paste the short snippet here? I think I see what you're saying but I am failing to use the getplayers() correctly

#

I do appreciate your time

sour island
#

are you trying to add a trait based on their username?

stiff furnace
# 
local function IdentifyPlayer()
  local username = Isoplayer(player):getUsername();
  local players         = getOnlinePlayers();
  print(tostring(Isoplayer(player):getUsername()));
  local array_size     = players:size();
  for i=0, array_size-1, 1 do
    local player = players:get(i);
    if username == "Tester3" then
      TraitFactory.addTrait("Testing", "TestingTestingTesting",-1,"Did this work", false, false);
    end
  end
end
#

Yes

sour island
#

and sure - just know discord uses markdown for code
```lua
codehere
```

stiff furnace
#

Oh! good to know

#

That's really neat

#

I appreciate your patience, I am new to lua...I wish I spent more time with it back in the Gary's mod days

sour island
# 
local function IdentifyPlayer()
  local players = getOnlinePlayers()
  for i=0, players:size()-1, 1 do
    local player = players:get(i)
    if player:getUsername() == "Tester3" then
      TraitFactory.addTrait("Testing", "TestingTestingTesting",-1,"Did this work", false, false)
    end
  end
end
#

it's probably your former experience but you can't declare types in lua

#

also ; are unneeded

stiff furnace
#

Hahahha

#

Thank you

#

I am overthinking it

sour island
#

you got the array use right

#

which most people get hung up on

#

as there are lua tables/lists

#

so having a java array to deal within lua gets weird

stiff furnace
#

Yeah, I can see that

#

Chuck, you are a very helpful person

#

You just saved me a headache

sour island
#

idk if this is doing what you think it is though'

stiff furnace
#

Hmm...maybe not?

#

I use this later ```Events.OnCreateSurvivor.Add(IdentifyPlayer);

#

To call it upon character creation...I believe?

sour island
#

TraitFactory (and all the factories as TIS calls them) are for housing behaviors/enums/etc

#

so I think this is creating a trait

#

not actually assigning it

#

OnCreatePlayer also works

stiff furnace
#

Okay, I believe that is what I want, so if you have a certain username the trait pops up and you can select if, if you want.

sour island
#

idk if survivor is used anymore as it was meant for NPCs

stiff furnace
#

OH, I could use OnCreatePlayer to auto assign it

#

Gotcha

sour island
#

I mean traitFactory add makes a new trait in general

#

so anyone would be able to pick it

stiff furnace
sour island
#

if you want only specific people to be able to pick it or be assigned it you'd have to dig into the UI lua to hide certain traits

#

that documentation is good

#

I think @weary matrix made an updated one

stiff furnace
sour island
#

unless I'm mistaken TraitFactory add would be adding to the global list of traits

stiff furnace
#

Interesting

#

I will have to test that

sour island
#

I've read through traits and professions for Skill Recovery Journal

#

the term factory is generally something used to house behaviors/types of objects/instances

icy crown
#

I cannot stop dying, i love this game! Please help

sour island
stiff furnace
sour island
#

I'm not really formerly trained or anything - so I only know how TIS uses it

tacit ermine
#

FWIW, only traits with a non-zero cost show up in that list

stiff furnace
#

Well, so far the trait DID show up - so that's a good sign...I will have to grab a buddy and test if it's global

tacit ermine
#

oh, that's only the good trait list actually

#

if you want to hide it you can look for the isRemoveInMP() calls

sour island
#

that might remove it entirely rather than just visually

stiff furnace
#

Okay. I will have to find a different way, @sour island was correct

sour island
#

What is the point of this trait tbh?

stiff furnace
#

It now shows for any username lol

tacit ermine
#

nah, that's only queried for the trait list in the UI

#

see CharacterCreationProfession:populateTraitList

sour island
#

ah

#

that's the lua file you'd have to modify

stiff furnace
#

@sour island Honestly? I am just learning. I was thinking of making a "unique trait" for a friend of mine that only he could use...makes em feel special.

sour island
#

you'd also have to practice safe overloading of lua functions

#

hmm

#

maybe you could just tap into the UI on character stats

#

and spoof a trait?

tacit ermine
#

free traits are also hidden from that list, but that might also hide from from the stats window

sour island
#

idk if it's like this for other games but modding PZ to do things it's not already doing can be a labor of love

stiff furnace

Haha okay, so what I'm hearing is that I picked something to try and do that's probably above my skill level at the moment

#

I'm looking at CharacterCreationProfession right now

#

Interesting stuff

tacit ermine
#

yeah, looks like you can hide it from the trait selection UI and still have it appear in the stats panel

sour island
#

maybe not above your skill level - as this isn't a project to be distributed but definitely something that's roundabout

#

that'd work then

#

you can use Events.OnGameBoot instead

#

so it's only added once

#

then in oncreateplayer figure out the actual trait adding per player

#

it's probably a method with in isoplayer or isogamecharacter

tacit ermine
#

it's how profession traits like Burglar are handled:

TraitFactory.addTrait("Burglar", getText("UI_prof_Burglar"), 0, getText("UI_trait_BurglarDesc"), true);
                                                                                                 --^-- make it free

Okay, that makes sense

#

So add the trait upon launch

#

Hidden

#

Then check for the player name and add it that way

#

Okay

#

Using CharacterCreationProfession:addTrait ?

tacit ermine
#

to add the trait to a player you want to do player:getTraits():add("My Trait Name")

#

where player is some variable with the player you want to add the trait to

stiff furnace
#

Oh...there it is lol

tacit ermine
#

that's the list of all traits, not a characters traits

#

oh nvm

#

it's not, I think, you're right

stiff furnace
#

Man, I really appreciate both of your help

#

You saved me hours of scratching my head

#

It's starting to make a lot more sense. I will need to get better at seeing what functions are already around and how to use them

#

I am going to brb and see if I can write it up

opal wind

holy trouble batman!

Anybody know if True Music can work with custom music on servers?

#

Like would the host have to place the music, or would everyone have to, or does anyone know how that'd work

stiff furnace
#

I'm not 100% sure Teemo, but I'm sure it doesn't work unless everyone has the same music

#

@tacit ermine @sour island Ah man, I'm so close lol. I can get the trait to be made and be invisible (I can add it via admin console) but it won't add during character creation. Do you have one last round of help in you for the night? It's okay if not too

tacit ermine
#

how and when are you trying to add the trait to the character?

#

is it possible to change electricity and water cutoff to something like 3-5 days instead of 0-30 ?

# tacit ermine how and when are you trying to add the trait to the character?

I'm sure I'm messing that up, this is what I have

local function IdentifyPlayer()
  local players = getOnlinePlayers()
  for i=0, players:size()-1, 1 do
    local player = players:get(i)
    if player:getUsername() == "Tester3" then
        player:getTraits():add("Testing1234")
        print ("Testing")
    end
  end
end

and then

Events.OnCreatePlayer.Add(IdentifyPlayer)
#

TraitFactory.addTrait("Testing1234", "Testing1234",0,"Did this work?", true)
That gets ran in a prior function

tacit ermine
#

does the "Testing" print?

stiff furnace
#

I have -debug on, but I don't actually see where it would be printing

#

In the console.txt?

tacit ermine
#

wherever your console output is going, yeah

sour island
#

getonline players also only works for MP

stiff furnace
#

No, output. Hm the function is not executing
