Prefab invisible when placed by player

[MrBartusek]

• Hello, I have a problem with my mod. Actually, I am working with an example from steam workshop and for some reason when I use c_spawn everything is working fine but if I craft and place prefab on the ground it is invisible but when is relog it is working fine. This prefab contains some code from the original firepit script.

 

ModMain.lua:

PrefabFiles = {
	"myprefab",
}
local assets=
{
    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/myprefab.xml"),
    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/myprefab.tex"),
}
AddMinimapAtlas("images/inventoryimages/myprefab.xml")

local myrecipe = AddRecipe("myprefab", -- name
{Ingredient("boards", 1)}, -- ingredients Add more like so , {Ingredient("boards", 1), Ingredient("rope", 2), Ingredient("twigs", 1), etc}
GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.FARM, -- tab ( FARM, WAR, DRESS etc)
GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, -- level (GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, GLOBAL.TECH.SCIENCE_ONE, etc)
"myprefab_placer", -- placer
nil, -- min_spacing
nil, -- nounlock
nil, -- numtogive
nil, -- builder_tag
"images/inventoryimages/myprefab.xml", -- atlas
"myprefab.tex") -- image

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.MYPREFAB = "My Prefab" --It's name in-game
GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.MYPREFAB = "It's a custom prefab!" --recipe description

A guess would be that your prefab doesn't have a "place" animation. The only place it's used is in onbuilt, which is the function called when building the thing. If you just spawn it, it'll adhere to the animation you've set for it in fn(0) (which in this case is "idle"). A quick fix would be to replace:

local function onbuilt(inst)
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("place")
    inst.AnimState:PushAnimation("idle", false)
    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/fireAddFuel")
end

with this

local function onbuilt(inst)
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle", false)
    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/fireAddFuel")
end

...but then you're missing a nice placement animation.
