Trying to make a codemod to have my custom slugcat get a warmth boost and start glowing

[fickle rover]

right now you press the keybind, emit smoke and an explosion light, and you being immune to hypothermia for 15 seconds

exactly what i wanted at the start of this thread

[still pecan]

okay so you do need the CWT to make it specific to a player

This is what a CWT format looks like.

Requirements:

• A static class to contain the CWT definition
• A non-static class to server as the CWT data class
• The long static methods you see in my screenshot

Instead of ButtonTemplate, you put the class type you want a CWT for

[fickle rover]

i see

so would i use the lantern class or the lightsource class?

also would the cwt go outside this public class? (its late and im trying my best to understand at the moment )

[still pecan]

You would need one of these for Lantern, or maybe AbstractLantern not sure... if you wanted to implement lantern effect lifetimes.

You want to create one for Player class to make sure the smoke targets the correct player, and the effects apply to the correct player for that matter.

On that last point, it is common for players in coop to share effects. If this is something you want, then you don't have to make it per player

You can make the effect apply to every player

But if you did that, you should check that at least one of those players is your slug\

[fickle rover]

ill ask more questions in the morning! and try to code it when im not busy

thanks

[undone flint]

Askin....

[fickle rover]

eating dinner but these are the errors i got

@still pecan

@undone flint

(srry for ping)

[undone flint]

trying to use shorthand in a inssurported version

you can use = new Type() instead of new()

and the extension method doesnt need to be on generic class (Class<T>)

[still pecan]

You need to set your LangVersion for your project to 9 or greater to use that syntax

[fickle rover]

where is that?

[undone flint]

yoyr CSPROJ

[fickle rover]

uh huh, but how do i get to it exactly?

[undone flint]

do you HAVE the Solution Explorer opened?

[fickle rover]

yes

[undone flint]

good

is there

the below of the solution

is a csproj

[fickle rover]

ok

and then?

[undone flint]

#1268556526482751618 message

its on the top

[fickle rover]

what is the name of the file youre in?

[undone flint]

[fickle rover]

(somehow my plugin file is nonexistent)

i LITERALLY cannot find it

[undone flint]

is the name
it can be any name

[fickle rover]

oj

oh

but still

i dont see what you guys are seeing

[undone flint]

i still hate my ife

[undone flint]

Solution Explorer
the FILE Below the the SOLUTION

[fickle rover]

OH MY GOD

[undone flint]

]]

[fickle rover]

I KNOW

THATS WHAT IM CLICKING

[undone flint]

huh?

you can't open it?

[fickle rover]

i cant

[undone flint]

wha

but should

[fickle rover]

whenever i double click it hides everything

[undone flint]

but this should work
strange...

[still pecan]

assemblyinfo is the same thing

[undone flint]

wha?

I didn't even know it existed

[fickle rover]

it is??

[still pecan]

assemblyinfo is the old way of handling property settings.

[fickle rover]

[undone flint]

WTH

[fickle rover]

okay then.... what do i do now

[undone flint]

worse I've never seen this before so thank you

[undone flint]

can you print?

[fickle rover]

print??

[undone flint]

yeah?

[undone flint]

[fickle rover]

if you mean screenshot, then yes

[undone flint]

i know nothing about the old way sorry

[undone flint]

is same thing for me

screenshot == print

[fickle rover]

o

ok

[still pecan]

oohh I didn't realize it was going to be a whole different format.

I don't know how to modify that file

[undone flint]

so

oof

[fickle rover]

[undone flint]

but atleast you can just new Thing() instead of new

[still pecan]

If you don't wish to do some personal investigation, just don't use newer style C# syntax

[fickle rover]

about that

[fickle rover]

wait

[still pecan]

Also you should be using normal project files if you are using the latest version of VS.

[fickle rover]

you said THING??

not type??

nvm

[undone flint]

[still pecan]

Don't try to create an instance of a Type

[fickle rover]

ok

[undone flint]

I noticed that you take this literally
I better watch out for what I say

[undone flint]

[fickle rover]

[undone flint]

you can pass the mouse above and see

and just pick this type

I see
It's totally annoying and UNNECESSARY IN C#
I agree with this and will not change my opinion

[undone flint]

i mean, the variable

[fickle rover]

oh

[undone flint]

or just copy the type before

and use it

= new ConditionalWeekTable<LightSource, ButtonTemplateCWT>();

i hate that

[undone flint]

just for confirm, you did it?

[still pecan]

You need to do new ConditionalWeakTable<LightSource, ButtonTemplateCWT>()

also rename the CWT data class to something more relevant please

[fickle rover]

just for the top?

this has got me so irritated and the fact that its also almost 11 pm isn't helping 😭

[still pecan]

you can't do new Type, you need to specify the class you are constructing

[undone flint]

new LightSource or new ButtonTemplateCWT?

[fickle rover]

bottom one

new LightSource

[undone flint]

LightSource have arguments
so, if you pass your mouse above of the class with the error of arguments, you cna see what is

[undone flint]

but why LightSource?

like

you can use the button one

LightSource its from game, so, you can't use that on the new

afai

k

[still pecan]

You don't create a new LightSource there

[fickle rover]

o

h

[still pecan]

That new() is defining your data class

[undone flint]

I hate explaining

[still pecan]

And don't call it ButtonTemplate, that's for my CWT

[undone flint]

thanks fluffball

[still pecan]

you can rename it to whatever you want it to be

[fickle rover]

ohh

ok

renamed

[undone flint]

new LightSource is still here

[still pecan]

I just told you....

[fickle rover]

one sec

[still pecan]

The class you put here is the class that you reference where that new is.

[fickle rover]

[fickle rover]

i uhh

i see

my brain is very smooth

[undone flint]

I still think this thing of specifying each type for each thing is stupid

in C#

[still pecan]

it's optional in c# 11

[undone flint]

var is what i am very familiar with

[still pecan]

but they would have to figure out how to do that with their project

[undone flint]

wha

...indeed

[still pecan]

@undone flint This is in my messages I noticed

[undone flint]

best readme

[undone flint]

use 'switch' expression
hmmmm i see

[undone flint]

now its correct

[fickle rover]

yayy

[fickle rover]

dont know why this is freaking out though, i mean i do.. but it was fine earlier

[undone flint]

i really liked this thunder

[undone flint]

hmmm
extension method?

[fickle rover]

extension?

[undone flint]

I don't even know that much about this method extension thing

[fickle rover]

huh

[still pecan]

You cannot have extension methods in a non-static class. simple\

[undone flint]

but afaik, it adds things to existent things

[undone flint]

wha
it got confusing for me

[still pecan]

Create a static class for your extension methods

[undone flint]

public static class AA
{
  
}

separated

any name

[fickle rover]

named it Lenternt lol

[undone flint]

Good

[fickle rover]

ok, im going to sleep

[undone flint]

Same

00:15 AM

[elfin cipher]

You don’t have to do that, btw

You can just not commit stuff

[undone flint]

[elfin cipher]

Just, don’t commit changes

[undone flint]

I don't know everything about github btw

[elfin cipher]

Just, don’t touch any of the GitHub stuff in VS, then you have type out the messages

[undone flint]

github stuff in VS??

but I don't even open anything from git in VS

[elfin cipher]

Oh

Ok ignore me

[undone flint]

[still pecan]

You can only commit the changes you want to commit

[still pecan]

Your git tool will have something similar.

• Select the lines you want to comment

The reset option would reverse the changes made by the selected lines. Be careful with that

You can also choose to stage some files, but not others.

[undone flint]

Even if I don't even open that tab in Github and don't even use it?

[still pecan]

Well you should. you want to have commits that reflect a specific purpose or accomplishment in the code.

If you finish a task, stage all of the changes for that task, and give it a commit name

[undone flint]

// says: "I just does not exists"

[undone flint]

reset option would probably help with almost nothing other than hindering me
I've suffered this many times before

[still pecan]

Commit: Added new medallion sprites to project
Commit: Fix null ref cause by new sprites

[undone flint]

but I only update all the content

[undone flint]

I only update when there is no null or error
except bugs, they're funny

[still pecan]

You should commit more specifically, but you don't have to

[undone flint]

stage
reset
comment selections....

......nah

[still pecan]

I'm a bit confused as to the context then. Were you not complaining that you had to submit all of the changes at once

[undone flint]

kinda useless for my use

[undone flint]

was other thing

....nvm then
At least there are new things in git that I've never seen but probably won't touch
thanks

[still pecan]

yet

and you're welcome

[fickle rover]

School started so I can't mod at the moment

[still pecan]

Should have started earlier

[undone flint]

uhhh
Remember when you wanted to change the C# version?

well, I discovered it and found it easy

..ah i forgot
(your) school moment see ya

but i will let the step here that i made anyways

• Search your .csproj file

• RIght Click and Open it with Notepad

Open With > Notepad

after that, you will need to add it there (yeah, it doesnt add it for you when i saw)

• you wull see this message in VS
  just Reload or Ignore if you want
  and then, done

now i can make the shorthand version!

NOTE: If you dont see the noetpad option, you need add it

• Choose other app

• More Apps

NotePad

done

..sorry for the big tex

oops

[fickle rover]

wow

good solution

[fickle rover]

gonna take a crack at the CWT again

ok

i think i just need to add the light that's attached to the body

@still pecan i hope you're not busy, if you are, sorry about that (i'm looking at lantern light code at the moment)

[elfin cipher]

what the comment says is a CWT is not a CWT

[fickle rover]

o

i reordered it

awhile ago

idk why it wasnt moved

[elfin cipher]

hm

[fickle rover]

lemme grab the screenchots of what i think ill need

not too sure

[elfin cipher]

what are you trying to do?

[fickle rover]

attach a light source to the main body chunk

this is the last thing i need to do if i remember correctly

[still pecan]

I've mostly forgotten about the state of progress for this, and I am pretty busy these days

[fickle rover]

its alright, we all get busy sometimes

[still pecan]

I recall something about you having to specify a parameter to attach the light source to

[fickle rover]

hmm

i don't exactly remember what i wanted to attach it to

maybe i was talking about the main body chunk?

[fickle rover]

cough

@sand lynx

there we go

[sand lynx]

agh

so many messages

falls asleep

[fickle rover]

lol

[brisk patrol]

Oh I think I can help with that

// Pioneer glows by default orig(self); if (self.lightSource != null) { self.lightSource.stayAlive = true; self.lightSource.setPos = new Vector2?(self.player.mainBodyChunk.pos); if (self.lightSource.slatedForDeletetion || self.player.room.Darkness(self.player.mainBodyChunk.pos) == 0f) { self.lightSource = null; } } else if (!self.player.DreamState && self.player.SlugCatClass.value == "Pioneer") { self.lightSource = new LightSource(self.player.mainBodyChunk.pos, false, Color.Lerp(new Color(1f, 1f, 1f), (ModManager.MSC && self.player.SlugCatClass == MoreSlugcatsEnums.SlugcatStatsName.Slugpup) ? self.player.ShortCutColor() : Color.cyan, 0.5f), self.player); self.lightSource.requireUpKeep = true; self.lightSource.setRad = new float?(600f); self.lightSource.setAlpha = new float?(1f); self.player.room.AddObject(self.lightSource); }

this is how I attached a lightsource to my custom slugcat

mess with the numbers and colors & stuff to adapt it to how you want

[fickle rover]

Woahhh

THANK YOU SO MUCH???

[brisk patrol]

you're welcome!

[fickle rover]

All I gotta do is attach this under my timer then?

And edit it?

[brisk patrol]

I dunno, this works for attaching a lightsource

you're gonna have to try it out

oh just so you know, this is in a hook to PlayerGraphicsUpdate

[fickle rover]

Oh

I gotta find an ss of my timer

I'd open my file again but this is from me scrolling back

[fickle rover]

Yeah I think the lightsource just has to be activated on and off with the timer

Not sure what to do next, I gotta clean anyway

[fickle rover]

Oh wait for your slugcat does the lightsource always stay on?

Oh wait nvm

I just read it again don't mind that

[fickle rover]

@brisk patrol (sorry for ping) but are you able to help me work this out if you aren't too busy soon?

[fickle rover]

should i remove my cwt?

nothing's really in it

[brisk patrol]

I mean, i don't use a cwt for that

it's really up to you
