Spawning more than one placer

[_Q_]

I'm making custom items that let you plant 10x10 pinecones and other plants just with one item.

Now I would like to spawn placer for every point the pinecone will be placed.

local assets ={Asset("ANIM", "anim/acorn.zip")}local notags = {'NOBLOCK', 'player', 'FX'}local function test_ground(inst, pt)	local spawn_points = {}	local pos = pt	for i = 1, 10 do 		table.insert(spawn_points, {x = pos.x, y = pos.y, z = pos.z})		pos.x = pos.x + 2		pos.z = pos.z + 2	end	local num = 0	for k,v in pairs(spawn_points) do			pos = Vector3(v.x, v.y, v.z)			local tiletype = GetGroundTypeAtPosition(pos)			local ground_OK = tiletype ~= GROUND.ROCKY and tiletype ~= GROUND.ROAD and tiletype ~= GROUND.IMPASSABLE and					  tiletype ~= GROUND.UNDERROCK and tiletype ~= GROUND.WOODFLOOR and 					  tiletype ~= GROUND.CARPET and tiletype ~= GROUND.CHECKER and tiletype < GROUND.UNDERGROUND			if ground_OK then				local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(pos.x,pos.y,pos.z, 4, nil, notags)				local min_spacing = inst.components.deployable.min_spacing or 2				for k, v in pairs(ents) do					if v ~= inst and v.entity:IsValid() and v.entity:IsVisible() and not v.components.placer and v.parent == nil then						if distsq( Vector3(v.Transform:GetWorldPosition()), pos) < min_spacing*min_spacing then						num = num -1						end					end				end				num = num +1			end		  	end	if num == 10 then	pt.x = pt.x - 20	pt.z = pt.z -20	return true	else 	pt.x = pt.x - 20	pt.z = pt.z -20	return false	endendlocal function growtree(inst)	print ("GROWTREE")    inst.growtask = nil    inst.growtime = nil	local tree = SpawnPrefab("deciduoustree")     if tree then 		tree.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition() )         tree:growfromseed()--PushEvent("growfromseed")        inst:Remove()	endendlocal function plant_many(inst, growtime)    inst:RemoveComponent("inventoryitem")    RemovePhysicsColliders(inst)    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle_planted")    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/plant_tree")    inst.growtime = GetTime() + growtime    if inst.components.edible then        inst:RemoveComponent("edible")    end    print ("PLANT", growtime)    inst.growtask = inst:DoTaskInTime(growtime, growtree)endlocal function ondeploy (inst, pt)	local starting_point = pt	local pos = pt    local spacing = 2	for i = 1, 10 do		for j = 1, 10 do		local acorn = SpawnPrefab("acorn")			if acorn then			acorn.Transform:SetPosition(pos.x,pos.y,pos.z)			acorn:RemoveComponent("perishable")			local timeToGrow = GetRandomWithVariance(TUNING.ACORN_GROWTIME.base, TUNING.ACORN_GROWTIME.random)			plant_many(acorn, timeToGrow)				pos = Point(acorn.Transform:GetWorldPosition())			end			pos.x = pos.x + spacing			pos.z = pos.z + spacing		end	pos = starting_point	pos.x = pos.x + spacing	pos.z = pos.z - spacing	end	inst.components.stackable:Get():Remove()	endlocal function fn()	local inst = CreateEntity()	inst.entity:AddTransform()	inst.entity:AddAnimState()    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)    inst.AnimState:SetBank("acorn")    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("acorn")    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")    inst:AddComponent("stackable")	inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM        inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")        inst:AddComponent("deployable")    inst.components.deployable.test = test_ground    inst.components.deployable.ondeploy = ondeploy    return instendreturn Prefab( "common/inventory/acorn_2x2", fn, assets, prefabs),	   MakePlacer( "common/acorn_2x2_placer", "acorn", "acorn", "idle_planted" )

I think you'd need to modify playercontroller.lua, in the functions used to build or deploy something.

I'm not the best person to get advice from on this matter but, the only thing I could imagine is either doing it dirty and making a custom animation, or maybe you could use the matrix algorithm with make placer (if it's even possible to bind multiple placers to the same prefab)?
