IS there a way to add a trait if you read a skillbook? I see that script for learning recipes

but I want to give a character a trait when they read the book

what files should I look into to research the effects of certain moodles?

I want to make an "extended moodle description" mod like traits have, showing what EXACTLY is happening when you are hungry, tired, thirsty etc (how much strength you lose etc)

I know where the tooltips are, but not where to actually find this information in the code. Not even the wiki is clear about this.

#

would like to understand what "heals faster" and "strength is increased" mean, exactly

well it means your strength is increased and you heal faster

why is my item letting me equip it instead of using it like a medical item?

# mint sphinx also what kind of object are you trying to do ?

The line object has a "codes" attribute and a "getCodes" method, but calling this method (line:getCodes(), also line.codes) caused an error.

I have not yet solved this problem, but I am on the verge of being able to achieve what I want to do in another way.

In a normal case, this Java method call would work, but my guess is that there is a problem on the Lua side that prevents the method from being called properly for Java internal classes.

I found that the following vanilla source has access to codes.
So I used the same own code on the shared side to access the codes information,
and then cleared it from the client side by referencing this code on the shared side.

Pulling my hair out here with this map mod I've made.
I cannot for the life of me get it to work as an MP mod.

mossy depot
#

I also can't get my mod to work MP. Anyone have any ideas? It works on a hosted server when I load the mod from Zomboid\Workshop (mod I uploaded) but not when I download it from the workshop and it's in workshop\content\108600

#

I love Indiestone, but fuck me, I wonder how they manage to cope with this engine/file system, it's so frustrating.

mossy depot
#

Yeah, every time I update my mod I have to reorganize the folders since the file structure is different between the two locations it's bananas

proven light
#

agreed 😁

nimble spoke
#

keep in mind that having it both in the workshop folder and subscribe to it will activate both at the same time as the ID is the same, leading to possible conflicts

#

so, if you're going to play with the subscribed version you should remove the other one from workshop temporarily and add it back when you resume work

mossy depot
#

I did move it.

nimble spoke
#

Other than that I have no idea what you mean by reorganizing folders

Is there mod, or would it be possible to make a mod; that allows the use of C2 breaching charges on doors to blow them open (Either via remote or timer). To add onto that, a C4 kit for destroying barracades/walls/etc?

you can edit the .bat to add the debug flag

#

oh neat

mossy depot
#

but use it as a base to make your own function

#

ok, whats the tailoring skill called in the code? just Tailoring?

mossy depot
#

So the OnGiveXP for woodworking5 is

    player:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Woodwork, 5);
end```
#

just make a version of that for tailoring and use Perks.Tailoring instead

#

if you don't want to give a specific xp amount you can use ZombRand(1,3) instead of 5 for example

chilly beacon
#

so just make a file in my mod's lua folder and pop those 3 lines in and call it good?

mossy depot
#

I have my functions in media/lua/client

chilly beacon
#

ok, so zomboid doesnt seem to like my lua file

mossy depot
#

take a look at recipecode.lua, you might need some of the stuff at the top, it sets up some arrays or something (not sure what they're called in lua)

chilly beacon
#

ah yeah, the top has

Recipe.GetItemTypes = {}
Recipe.OnCanPerform = {}
Recipe.OnCreate = {}
Recipe.OnGiveXP = {}
Recipe.OnTest = {}```
#

well the game boots, thats a success

#

ah, but still no exp

mossy depot
#

hmm

#

maybe try this instead self.character:getXp():AddXP(Perks.Tailoring, ZombRand(1, 3));

#

slightly different version I pulled out of ISRepairClothing.lua

#

I'm not sure what the difference between referencing player vs. self.character is though

chilly beacon
mossy depot
#

oh it looks like it's trying to find it in the wrong spot

chilly beacon
#

lovely

mossy depot
#

Let me show you how it works in my mod and then maybe you can figure it out. I'm not doing XP but am calling a custom function from recipe

#

so in my recipe I call
OnCreate:DairyModReturnSaucePan_OnCreate,

#

and here is the lua

function DairyModReturnSaucePan_OnCreate(items, result, player)
    player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.Saucepan");
end```
#

my guess is it's not being called correctly from your recipe

chilly beacon
#

hm

#

it worked!

mossy depot
#

nice!!

chilly beacon
#

#

the issue was, as suspected, me not quite doing it right

mossy depot
#

I do that a lot, don't feel bad 😅

#

You probably didn't need the recipe {} stuff then, huh

#

indeed

#

i called "GiveTailoring10" in the recipe, and added the Player:AddXP part in there

Somebody please make a mod that allows players to choose different options of wearing for clothing. Like choosing to wear a jacket open or closed, tuck a shirt in or out, tuck pants into boots, wear pants rolled up.

i'm still having the same right-click crash problem. i right click the item and the game crashes. nothing fancy. i tried adding a static model and an icon to one of the items that was acting up as was suggested, but it's still throwing the same issue. i've got a MUCH better debug log here (https://pastebin.com/WqKi1u9T). i hadn't understood what i was doing that first time around; this time i've managed to isolate the pertinent bit of code.

Can you add custom properties to custom clothing items

As in, pressing T will add to an integer in a jetpack clothing item or something, and once that integer hits 4 it gets removed from your inventory?

is it possible to make a sleveless jacket, with no sleeve tailoring slots?

and if not, can we add new body locations?

undone crag
#

You can add body locations to the end of the list and I think probably to the beginning of it. If you wanted to be able to answer questions like that you could use notepad++ and its search function to find where certain words are referenced. So the bloodlocation specified in a txt file may be referring to something specified in a Lua file.

I am brand new to LUA though so this will be painful looking up the different roomdefs and stuff to find the places I want it to spawn.

willow estuary
#

Yeah, to be honest I got frustrated with how commonplace it was for mods, popular mods even, to mess up item distribution?
Adding stuff to distro tables is super simple and straightforward when you use the simplest method.
But, when people use that distribution-merge method that's more complicated, well, not only is the extra work involved with that method completely unnecessary, but also, because it's more complicated, there's more opportunities for people to make mistakes.

For reference what would be an easy way using this guide with a drink item?

Just search the vanilla tables for a vanilla drink item, and use the tables they spawn on, and their spawn values, as a starting point?

# edgy wharf I still am not seeing my mod in the game even after updating the tables

You should be using BleachSoda.bSoda, Base.bSoda as you defined your item as being of the module BleachSoda.

Honestly, IMO, unless there's corner case reasons for doing so, I consider using a module other than Base for adding new mod items/recipes/vehicles to be an unnecessary complication that just causes more headaches than it prevents? At least with people that are new to modding PZ,, but I don't think I use anything other than Base in any of my mods?

edgy wharf

So can I just remove the module or do I make the module Base?

#

And then, do I update the name in the tables to Base.bsoda?

Remove the import statement. You don't need it, and it will cause console messages that people will report as bugs.

edgy wharf
#

Ohh yes, that makes sense. That's what you were talking about.

willow estuary
#

The only time people need import statements, AFAIK, is if they have recipes using items from other modules, that are included in import, in their recipes.

No recipes should mean no import.
Everything is Base? No import.
All the items in the recipes are Base? No import.

Shoot, you can use items from other modules without importing if you just include the module name in the recipes as such as I did with farming.Strewberrie

recipe Make Pink Dye
    {
        keep KitchenKnife/HuntingKnife/MeatCleaver/Hammer/BallPeenHammer/ClubHammer/StoneHammer/WoodenMallet/MortarPestle,
        Sound:AddItemInRecipe,
        farming.Strewberrie;100,
        Salt;10,
        Pot,
        Result:PinkNaturalDye_Raw,
        Time:200.0,
        Prop1:Source=1,
        Prop2:CookingPot,
        AnimNode:Loot,
        SkillRequired:Cooking=1,
        NeedToBeLearn:true,
    }

I swear that 90% of the time I see import statements in mods scripts, they're not necessary?

edgy wharf
#

Now just update the tables and I'm good? Or do I need to update mod info as well?

willow estuary

I can't imagine why you'd need to update mod.info?

Look right?

willow estuary
#

Yeah, looks good to me alright? You;re using debug mode right?

edgy wharf
#

I am not lol.

bitter frigate
edgy wharf
#

Hold left shift on game start for debug right?

willow estuary
# edgy wharf I am not lol.

Okay, so using debug is actually super important for making modding simpler?
Using debug mode you can spawn in items.
Now, that is important for easily evaluating whether you made the scripts for your items properly so that they "can exist"?
If an item can't exist, then it can't spawn.

A lot of times I've seen people flailing over their distro table stuff, but the real issue was that they screwed up their scripts for their items where the item doesn't exist?

opal wind
#

guys the effects from the traits are on lua or java side?

willow estuary
#

Both.

edgy wharf
#

Yeah I read online that you can't spawn in mod items so I went straight to the distro

willow estuary
willow estuary
edgy wharf

If the mod is not in the distro, or the distro is messed up can I still spawn it in?

As long as it doesn't throw an error?

The Icon is bugged, and the sound effect loops forever, and I can drink it unlimited times.

True.

Simpler is better!

Easy fix would be to just make the sound a second longer or so

If nothing else. "start simple, get simple to work, and then get fancy"

#

Oh one last question, can I edit the mod inside the workshop folder or is that a no-no?

#

Having to reupload every time I make a change to test is ridiculous

willow estuary
#

Ah yes. that how you should be doing it 😄

#

.....you're new, so it's understandable, but yeah, probably not the best state of affairs to be uploading stuff to the workshop before confirming that it all works properly in testing?
You can also set the privacy settings for mods so they're hidden or unlisted, in case you need to test a mod with other people but don't want people downloading it yet.

edgy wharf

Amazing, I am done for tonight but thank you so much for your time. I really do appreciate it.

Hello, I already have a working firearms mod with two shotguns, one pump and one semi auto. I am able to spawn them with item spawners, but they do not spawn in the game world.

Can anyone please help or provide some scripts to make them able to spawn in appropriate locations like armories and the trunks of some cars?

How to change metal working recipes? I would like to remove scrap metal from metal roof recipe

mint sphinx
raven eagle
#

yes

mint sphinx
#

if so you might be able to overwrite the fuction call at line 258 in blakcmsithmenu. which mean you just have to only overwrite that funciton call in your own mod

#

with other word its a larger function so i wouldnt do it if any other mod extend or doing hooks in

#

its a 246 line functions called "dobuildmenu"

raven eagle
#

did find it, but no idea what is what here... was expecting items required for the recipe called by their names

#

Are these numbers the ones that need to be changed?
local canDo, toolTip = ISBlacksmithMenu.checkMetalWeldingFurnitures(0,1,0,0,1,2,0,playerObj,toolTip);

#

I would assume that 2 is welding rods, and one of the 1 is scrap and one of them is small sheet...

#

okay nvm found it. it seems like they are at line 125, what these numbers mean...

#

removed scrap from all of the recipes. YEET. How are you supposed to build anything with metal when you can hardly find enough scrap for anything?

proven light
#

disassemble some cars

raven eagle
#

I did. cleared a bridge and it only gave me enough to build a metal roof for a tiny shed

proven light
#

eek

raven eagle
#

after that went around looting trash cans for scrap metal, but still far from enough... dismantled a lot of stuff too, all the way to level 6 metalworking but still got nowhere near enough. got nowhere as much as I got for dismantling cars

#

honestly this is just ridiculous

#

so... do I need to do something for the game to replace that old recipe with mine?

#

I tried enabling the mod, loaded just fine but all the recipes are still the same

calm depot
raven eagle
#

How am I supposed to make changes to existing building recipes? did changes in IsBlacksmithMenu.lua, but nothing is changing

#

the mod is enabled

calm depot
#

probably because you're just redefining it without unregistering it

raven eagle
#

without unregistering it?

calm depot
#

look at the bottom of the file

#

if you understand the semantics of lua, you'll understand that redefining it won't actually do anything

raven eagle
#

It did work that way in another game... just change it and it just works

calm depot
#

that would be because that game took a reference to the table containing the function, rather than the function itself directly

#

it passes ISBlacksmithMenu.doBuildMenu, not just ISBlacksmithMenu

#

maybe you should look at the mod I just posted a minute ago, it basically does exactly what you're trying to do

#

namely, it injects a new menu item into Metalworking

raven eagle
#

yeeting scrap metal from all of the metal working recipes, but just the metal roof would be fine too

Anyways, this should work right as a custom distro without any other requirements?

`require "Items/Distributions"

SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1 = {

{

"R2D2_WorldItem", 100,

you are assigning a new table

#

you should append to the existing table

drifting ore
#

argh alright

calm depot
#

ah yes, table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1.metal_shelves, {...})

drifting ore
#

Is there a good example of how I should format it?

calm depot
#

just cut and paste the entire {} block for metal_shelves that you have there

drifting ore
#

`require "Items/Distributions"

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1.metal_shelves, {...})
metal_shelves =
{
rolls = 1,
items = {
"R2D2_WorldItem", 100,
}
},
}`

#

like this?

calm depot
#

no

#

{...} was the placeholder

#

table.insert is a function

#

it takes 2 arguments - the first being the table to add to, and the second being whatever object you want to add, which in this case, is your table with the rolls and items

drifting ore
#

I'm not very good at working out this stuff

#

I'll try to understand what you mean

#

and fix it

calm depot
#

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1.metal_shelves, { rolls = 1, items = { blahblah } })

drifting ore
#

do you end between every new table insert?

calm depot
#

end?

#

as in, the end keyword?

drifting ore
#

Example of how i have it right now

#

`require "Items/Distributions"

SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1 = {
metal_shelves =
{
rolls = 1,
items = {
"R2D2_WorldItem", 100,
}
},
}

SuburbsDistributions.astrosuit = {
metal_shelves =
{
rolls = 1,
items = {
"AstroSuit", 100,
"AstroHelmet", 100,
}
},
}`

calm depot
#

if you find it makes your code more readable, you could also do
local r2d2 = {rolls = 1, items = { ... } }
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions.officenerd1.metal_shelves, r2d2)

is there a quick guide on what's needed to add a new zombie into the game? I'm looking at Authentic Z, Advanced Zombies, and the vanilla stuff, and it seems that I need at least:
clothing.xml
three files in \NPCs\ for attachedlocations, bodylocations, and zombiezonedefinitions
is that it, or is there more?

#
  1. name zombie
  • 1a. add zombie clothing and name into clothing.xml ( splice into other mod if needed?)
  1. add zombie to ZombiesZoneDefinition.lua
  2. done???
    optional: add attachedlocations.lua info for extra stuff

does that sound right?

@bronze arch Put the mod into your Workshop folder with the provided example mod's file structure. Launch the game, go to workshop in the main menu and from there it is pretty self explanatory. Then go to Steam and download your mod and make sure you activate it.

one thing, your empty item points to itself in ReplaceOnDeplete = bSoda_EMPTY, water conatiner usually point to a normal type item for their empty versions

#

your food item points to a drainable item, I don't remember seeing that before so I don't know if that could be the problem, usually it is a normal type

you're missing an item there, it is usually food item -> normal item -> drainable item

i set it up like this now

        --local strengthlvl = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Strength);
        local perk = PerkFactory.getPerkFromName('Strength')
        local perkLevel = player:getPerkLevel(perk)
        
        if WornItem​(java.lang.String string, InventoryItem inventoryItem) = Wiz_BatgirlGloves then
         local modifier = + 4;
      
         strengthlvl = perkLevel + modifier;
        end
end```
#

do i need a local here strengthlvl = perkLevel + modifier;?

#

meh im so noob on lua lol

#

@opal wind try this to see if it gets rid of the error:

local function PowerGlovesEffect(_player)
    local player = _player;
   
        local perkLevel = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Strength)
        
        --if player:getWornItem​():getType() == "Wiz_BatgirlGloves" then
            local modifier = 4;
            for i = 1, modifier do
                player:LevelPerk(Perks.Strength)
            end
        --end
end```
opal wind
#

yeah that remove the error

#

so the error is here

#

player:getWornItem​():getType() == "Wiz_BatgirlGloves" then

#

maybe just player:getWornItem​() == "Wiz_BatgirlGloves" then instead?

#

because i was giving the Item name there, but i never gave its type anyway

urban parks?

drifting ore

Typically if the park is in a single county it has just the local sheriffs office enforce it

#

Urban parks fall under the cities they are in

#

So it would be local police

#

But some cities also have like

#

Parks and Recreations departments

#

Which might have their own enforcement departments

#

Its really hit or miss lol

#

And depends on the demand and the size of the parks

#

Like here in Wisconsin we have places like Kettle Moraine

#

Which are HUGE multi-county state parks

#

But are serviced by the state DNR

#

And then local sheriffs office

modern creek

Basically if its a small park its just whatever area police govern that region. However, state and national parks have park rangers who are employed by the National Parks Service

Sound more like #mod_support question I guess but isn't the food already realistic enough? So gain and losses wait base on what you eat ^^ and nutritionist to be able to see what each thing have as fat carbs and so on ^^ also I do think you burning more calories if you move a lot in the game. Base on when I play with a friend who just read vs me running around fell like I have to eat more then he do.

For posteriority about vehicle spawn, vehicle reset, vehicle generate, vehicle generation, spawn vehicle, reset vehicle, generate vehicle
From my my testing:

  • In every case of an attempt to do a map-wide vehicle spawn/generation, you would have to wipe all of your currently owned vehicle
  • Vehicles.db and map_x_y.bin files would need to be removed in order to allow vehicle to spawn in that (x,y) area
  • Deleting map_x_y.bin will reset state of the area meaning any player crafted assets and items within that area will be removed
  • If you are worry about the progression you made on your safehouse, just delete every map_x_y.bin file except the area where your safehouse is. (to check the (x,y) co-ordinate use any zomboid map site and move the decimal point of x and y to the left e.g. 12222x2770 -> map_1222_277.bin). Though the area of the map_x_y.bin that you didn't delete won't have any vehicles spawned
  • It is possible to use the different vehicles.db seed of another file and apply to your current world provided that you delete map_x_y.bin area that you want the new vehicles.db seed to spawn, and then replace vehicles.db of your choice. (I have tested this by removing vehicles.db and all map_x_y.bin of my current server in order to force the game to generate new vehicles.db with different sets of vehicles)
  • Do this at your own risk / backup beforehand as I am not exert at this. I only wanted to share my findings for posteriority purpose.

please correct me if I'm wrong

# mint sphinx Overwrite is usual easy to do. But do not advice to do it. So you sure you want ...

yes i need to overwrite.

so this will do it?

-- Function that equip the selected weapon
function ISInventoryPaneContextMenu:equipWeapon(weapon, primary, twoHands, player)
    getPlayer():setSayLine("Test")

    local playerObj = getSpecificPlayer(player)

    -- Drop corpse or generator
    if isForceDropHeavyItem(playerObj:getPrimaryHandItem()) then
        ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISUnequipAction:new(playerObj, playerObj:getPrimaryHandItem(), 50));
    end

    -- if weapon isn't in main inventory, put it there first.
    ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.transferIfNeeded(playerObj, weapon)

    -- Then equip it.
    ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISEquipWeaponAction:new(playerObj, weapon, 50, primary, twoHands));
end
#

or after reading again ISInventoryPaneContextMenu:equipWeapon = myFunction()?

mint sphinx
#

If you do that you overwrite default function.

Does anyone know of a documented API or does everyone just kind of look at how the game does it?

A good example is DoZombieStats from IsoZombie. I'm using this as a resource and it doesn't really tell me what it does:

I think I understand that it updates a zombies stats from another mod however.

Hi all, I'm trying to update the SandboxPlus mod, just the alternative combat portion for personal use as a challenge to really learn LUA and the game's API. I'm on a good track so far, I think I understand everything the mod does but I need help updating it to current build, or rewriting the code.

#

For those unfamiliar with SP... I essentially want to change MultiHit to be dependent upon the player's strength and endurance(fatigue) levels, as well as the weapon type held.

#

For example: a player with 10 strength, holding a barbell, with full endurance can hit a maximum of 8 zombies in one swing.

Whereas: a player with 3 strength, holding a butter knife, with low endurance can only hit a maximum of 1 zombie in one swing.

#

Could anyone point me in the right direction in getting started?

#

So far I'm adapting the mod name, and trying to understand all the variables from the mod and finding the methods in the game's API. This is what I have so far. Have to send in two chunks because I don't have Nitro.

#

Any tips or help updating this, or just hinting me in the right direction is GREATLY appreciated on this project.

#

Updated the code with some notes.

nimble spoke
edgy wharf
#

Very well could be. It could be that anything in the mod is updated and these are outdated references to the API in general.

#

That would be a good place to start, thanks. Let me know if you think of anything else.

#

Wait yeah local weaponPerkLvl = ACAC.getPerkLevel(_player, ACAC.currentWeapon)

#

This is telling weaponPerkLvl to store the level of a perk of the player but
A: I don't think that the perk is defined?
and
B: ACAC.currentWeapon would return a value of nil because because the perk level for the weapon doesn't exist right?

Good evening all! I am searching for a way to use emote animation as action animation in timed actions.

icons are very simple, they just need to have the Item_ prefix and be 32x32, besides that there is no secret

Hello, does anyone know if I'm doing a basic mistake here? The lua script errors out in line 4 (getRootLayer) and it doesn't really tell me anything useful (i.e. why it errors out). This is the whole code

  function handleZombieUpdate(zombie)
    advAnim = zombie:getAdvancedAnimator()
    if advAnim then
        rootLayer = advAnim:getRootLayer()
        if rootLayer then
            print("red")
        end
    end
  end
  
  Events.OnZombieUpdate.Add(handleZombieUpdate)

starting with that code

# opal wind no errors, it just dont work

Try something like this:

local function PowerGlovesEffect()
  local player = getPlayer()
  local perkLevel = player:getPerkLevel(Perks.Strength)

  if key == Keyboard.KEY_COMMA then
    if player:getWornItem​() == "Wiz_BatgirlGloves" then
      local modifier = 4;
        for i = 1, modifier do
          player:LevelPerk(Perks.Strength)
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

 Events.OnKeyPressed.Add(PowerGlovesEffect)

And then press comma in game.

#

lol this will sound so stupid, but witch one is the 'comma' key lol

thank you btw i will try it now

@quartz badge from what i know you need to copy vanilla item path and guid to your fileGuidTable and then you would be able to use it in clothing.xml

        <path>media/clothing/clothingItems/Shoes_ArmyBoots.xml</path>

well creating mods is sort of double edge sword

#

we usually do that when we want and most of the times it is bcz we have fun doing it

but when ppl then starts to demand updates or fixes or features

it becomes quite a chore

#

especially when you even stopped playing the game

opal wind

specially when you dont get paid 🙂 u forgot that

#

and bum streamers make thousands with 'reviews' of your mod 🙂

bitter frigate

i'm THRILLED to say the crash on left click issue for my t1d mod seems to be resolved. part of the issue was i mistyped an item name in the recipe, and another was a misplaced comma. i added icons to the items that were causing the error and the error seems to have stopped. i'm gonna have to do more intense debugging to make sure it's REALLY gone but i'm so happy things are starting to work correctly.

that all SAID im having trouble making the player read their SugarValue out loud. i'm sure i'm making a simple mistake. any help would be appreciated!

function Diabetes.OnCreate_TeststripDRY(items, result, player)
    self.character:Say("My blood sugar is " .. tostring(SugarValue))
    -- read blood sugar
end
opal wind
#

i wish i could help u there anger, but im noob on lua too lol, i posted a simple code couple minutes ago too that i need help with 😄

bitter frigate
undone crag
#

In some functions you can reference a thing called self. This is because a thing is specifically created by a Lua script where it creates something called a metatable and calls something self. If you see a function defined with a : in the name then it means something, usually named self in zomboid, is fed into it.

bitter frigate
#

so it would look like

function Diabetes.OnCreate_TeststripDRY(items, result, player)
    player.character:Say("My blood sugar is " .. tostring(SugarValue))
    -- read blood sugar
end

or do i need to dig deeper and find what player itself can reference?

undone crag
#

player is your isoplayer java object in that context. It can Say things.

bitter frigate
undone crag
#

In timed actions in zomboid the devs have a convention where they name the isoplayer java object character, and the variable referring to it is stored on a thing they name self. So it will say things like self.character and self.item.

bitter frigate
undone crag
#

:o

bitter frigate
#

it's still not triggering :( does :Say work in single player? i assumed it did but now i'm second guessing myself

undone crag
#

Say does work in singleplayer.

# 
function Diabetes.OnCreate_TeststripDRY(items, result, player)
    print("My blood sugar is " .. tostring(SugarValue))
    player:Say("My blood sugar is " .. tostring(SugarValue))
    -- read blood sugar
end

How about this?

#

Maybe you made a mistake in the recipe?

#

You seem to be trying for a long time. Are you simply returning to the main menu and reloading the game to test? Restarting the whole game would be slow.

bitter frigate
bitter frigate
# undone crag ```lua function Diabetes.OnCreate_TeststripDRY(items, result, player) print(...

alright so this is neither printing nor Saying, which means OnCreate_TeststripDRY isn't triggering, right? is there something missing from my understanding about how OnCreate works? here's the entry for the item.

        DisplayCategory        = Junk,
        Weight                = 0.01,
        Type                = Normal,
        DisplayName            = Dried Test Strip,
        Icon                = StripDRY,
        OnCreate            = Diabetes.OnCreate_TeststripDRY,
        Medical                = TRUE,

i was thinking about randomizing insulin sensitivity factor & carb ratios per character to better capture real diversity in diabetes management, but i worry that won't be "fun". right now ISF & carb ratios are really simple (1:25 & 1:10) and lend themselves to mental math pretty easily. i'm torn between making it simple for easier accessibility or more complicated to stay truer to reality. any thoughts?

# opal wind your mod will add the diabetic trait too? thats cool

yeah! is there a mod out there that already DOES diabetes??? mine's gonna be a whole THING i'm really excited about it. i'm thinking of making the trait itself worth (low thirst + low hunger) as a reward for managing a whole new stat. i haven't learned much about traits yet, but i figure taking the trait will just toggle the functions? i've seen toggle buttons in other mods so i'm hopeful i can figure out how they accomplish it

Howdy there folks, does anybody know where the OnCreate function for recipes is in Zomboid's directory? Specifically for the candy package, as I'm trying to get a recipe that gives you candy alongside an empty wrapper, and since I know very little about lua I was hoping to use that as a reference

bitter frigate
#

im so scared to even BEGIN debugging adding this modded treatment

dusk saddle
#

Heh I can imagine that being quite the hassle

bitter frigate
#

if thats what your asking for, i mean! i may be misunderstanding

dusk saddle
#

Ah nah that should be just fine. Thank you very much haha, I'm quite slow when it comes to lua but I've wanted to make food mods on the game for years and have finally decided to take the dreaded plunge!

#

I suppose another thing I must ask for it is for this OnCreate part, do I need anything else other than just linking it with the recipe?
eg. OnCreate:Recipe.OnCreate.OpenPomps, in the item's recipe, while lua is just the information?
eg. function Recipe.OnCreate.OpenPomps(items, result, player) player:getInventory():AddItem("Base.MintCandy"); end

Hey guys can we create mod suggestions here, or is it just for the techy side of mods

#

anger, the historical record calls diabetes a wasting thirst or one with sweet urine, a formidable wasting disease. People with diabetes passes a lot of urine, making them thirst for more water. "wasting" was because they wasted away getting thinner.

There is some evidence that type 2 diabetes was not known of or recognised in the past, and that there may be environmental influence making type 2 diabetes known of. Maybe I am not remembering right now any of the arguments against this.

There is evidence that the rate of diabetes has been increasing hugely over many decades and that there may be environmental cause for this. Some would say that people may have instead become better at documenting the cause of death as diabetes as a result of environmental changes.

Diabetes was lethal after a few years. I am thinking maybe in the zomboid context the character would actually be able to live a long time with diabetes (by a long time I mean a few years), without anything else causing end of life, and that failure to inject insulin might be best simulated by effects other than hp loss.
