Quicker suicide using debug:
Define (in one of your mods that you always use):
function oof() getPlayer():Kill(ImaDeliciousBanana) end
Usage:
oof()
😉 Because I have to kill myself in -debug often (input to Kill can be any variable name with a nil value and still work fine).
(PS: For those running Wookiee Gamepad Support, oof() is already available through WookieeUtilities.lua.)

viral sundial
dont understand how to download the pzstudio one?
What do you mean
viral sundial
You need to open a terminal and enter the commands.
Its a CLI tool for now.
hold-shift and right click in a directory to open the powershell on windows
also make sure you have nodejs installed and git
https://git-scm.com/
https://nodejs.org/en
rocky ore
ok i use VSCode for all my scripting does that matter
viral sundial
@rocky ore vscode is perfect
rocky ore
so do i just downlod node and git on there or does it need to be on the pc
or is the setup different through VS
viral sundial
node and git is just requirement for pzstudio to work properly. You can use it inside vscode, i use it in vscode
viral sundial
np
viral sundial
ty
once your project is generated (using pzstudio new), then open it in vscode and you'll have the npm script available
i created a directory in my documents named Workspace and i create all my project there. The build/watch command will transfer everything into C:\Users\Konijima\Zomboid\Workshop for me
rocky ore
thats a good idea

@charred ridge Do you know where all of the exported model resources have gone to?

So, I'll share this snippet of code for people who don't want to write multiple if-else (and please avoid doing so when you can for sanity) in lua.
This is what I consider the equivalent of switch-case in other languages.
You create a table with all the key-value pairs (and it will be easier to read than if-else).
This is an example with keyboard keys
local keyPressed = "k" .. tostring(keyNum);
local keyMap = {
k55 = PZNSTest_Wipe, -- numpad *
k71 = doNothing, -- numpad 7
k72 = PZNS_GetPlayerCellGridSquare, -- numpad 8
k73 = doNothing, -- numpad 9
k74 = doNothing, -- numpad -
k75 = doNothing, -- numpad 4
k76 = doNothing, -- numpad 5
k77 = doNothing, -- numpad 6
k78 = doNothing, -- numpad +
k79 = PZNSTest_logTemplateNPCsInfo, -- numpad 1 -- WIP - Cows: For now, this only prints the npc info.
k80 = doNothing, -- numpad 2
k81 = doNothing, -- numpad 3
-- k82 = doNothing, -- numpad 0 -- WIP - Cows: Seems to be used by another mod. Do not use for now.
k83 = PZNSTest_deleteTemplateNPCs, -- numpad .
k156 = PZNSTest_spawnTemplateNPCs, -- numpad enter
};
And now, you can do what I consider to be a silly thing and call the k-v mapped function directly from the table.
if (keyMap[keyPressed] ~= nil) then
if (keyNum ~= 72) then
return keyMap[keyPressed](); -- Cows: I'm amazed this even works... but it does.
else
return keyMap[keyPressed](0);
end
end
Unless the mapped function requires input parameter(s), you can call the mapped function by appending the parenthesis at the end ()

Party Animal is a mod on the Workshop; that is a repo showing the code required to upload it.
Showing what folder structure you need and where key files like mod.info and workshop.txt need to go
There is also at least one video tutorial in this thread, among other stuff.

So I’m looking through all these guides. Unless I missed it, is there a tutorial on how to create traits/occupations and how to get rid of the original ones?
I would eventually like to have all mods on my server created by myself but I am NOWHERE close to that and in the learning stage at the moment.
tranquil ocean
So I’m looking through all these guides. Unless I missed it, is there a tutorial...
Wookiee Tutorial: Party Animal a few messages up creates a trait. Removing vanilla traits or occupations would be done by decorating the vanilla functions that add them, but there is no tutorial specifically for that. Also, just fyi, this is more of a resource list then a discussion zone, so asking questions here might get pretty slow responses. I'm surprised I saw it.

sandbox option table
from string to table
sample:
function parseStatements(str)
local outfits = {}
local parts = {}
for part in string.gmatch(str, "[^;]+") do
table.insert(parts, part)
end
for _, part in ipairs(parts) do
local outfit_name, statements_str = string.match(part, "([^=]+)=(.+)")
if outfit_name and statements_str then
local statements = {}
for statement in string.gmatch(statements_str, "[^:;]+") do
if statement ~= "" then
table.insert(statements, statement)
end
end
outfits[outfit_name] = statements
end
end
return outfits
end
sample :
key: Outfit_Ranger
values: Howdy?, Yeehaw!
this is what you actually input on the option
option NPC_Zed.InteractStatements {
type = string, default = Outfit_Ranger=Howdy?:Yeehaw!;Outfit_Survivalist=...:Blend with the shadows;Outfit_Bandit=Hey buddy:How Can I help You?:What?,
page = NPC_Zed, translation = NPC_Zed_InteractStatements,
}
--test print
local string = SandboxVars.NPC_Zed.InteractStatements
local parsed_outfits = parseStatements(string)
for outfit, statements in pairs(parsed_outfits) do
print(outfit)
for _, statement in ipairs(statements) do
print(statement)
end
end
using this servers and players can add infinite number of entry to a single sandboxoption
instead of providing them fixed number of options
letsay youre trying to make a teleporter
then you could do this for the option
"School:3124:4563:0;Camp:5124:1423:0;"
School 3124 4563 0
school is the key and the numbers are xyz coordinates
= after each key
: delimiter for the values
; delimiter for keys
keys1=keys1_value1:keys1_value2:keys1_value3;

have you experienced there are times that the context menu gets stuck after clicking it?
idk if its a bug but if that happens to you then heres a solution
on the function thats triggered by that option
do this
force close context menu after clicking
context:hideAndChildren()
sample of when i used it
local optTip = apSub:addOption(tostring(invItem:getDisplayName()), invItem, function()
ClassRankMod.doAppraiseTimed(pl, invItem)
context:hideAndChildren()
end)
optTip.iconTexture = getTexture("media/ui/ClassRank_Appraise.png")
local tip = ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.addToolTip()
tip.description = tostring(invItem:getFullType()) .. "\nAppraise this item."
tip:setName("Appraise: ")
optTip.toolTip = tip
custom zombie outfit file checklist:
note: not all of the files here are strict when it comes to folder structure
construct the outfit
declare what clothing items it will spawn with
this is how you add custom outfit
clothing/clothing.xml
construct the actual clothing
so that the model and the texture are linked, you then add this to your outfit
clothing/clothingItems/yourMod.xml
fileGuidTable entry
so that the game recognize your clothing item
fileGuidTable.xml
to turn the clothing into an item
scripts/yourMod.txt
the actual model
the actual model files
models_X/Skinned/yourMod.fbx or models_X/Skinned/yourMod.x
texture file must the thing you declare on your clothingItem xml
without this you wont see the model
textures/Body/yourMod.png
add the outfit to the ZombiesZoneDefinition table via lua file
this file is optional
so that they will naturally spawn in the game

Change craftRecipe outputs on the fly

originalRecipe:getOutputs():clear()
for i = 0, newRecipe:getOutputs():size() - 1 do
local newOutput = newRecipe:getOutputs():get(i)
originalRecipe:getOutputs():add(i, newOutput)
end
It would probably work with inputs but I never tried it. The newRecipe is set as NeedTobeLearn = true so it's hidden from the player. There might be a better way to hide the recipe that I haven't found yet.
