Hello, everyone.

Lately I've doing progress in the construction of my custom character, but now I'm stucked in something I really don't understand and didn't see nothing like this in tutorials or others MODS.

I'm trying to create a custom item for my character called "star chart". It act similar to Map Scroll, but could me crafted using the Cartography tab only at night.

I was able to create the item, set it up in modmain.lua, set the assets about it, but as I'm a noob with LUA, I Just copied the "mapscroll.lua" script and pasted in my "star_chart.lua" script, changing some lines.

In game, everything works fine until the moment I craft the "star_chart". It appear in the Cartography tab, but when I craft it, a invisible item comes to my inventory. It is there, but I can't see it. I can drop the item and learn, but I can't see the item in inventory, neither on the ground. Can't see the name and inspect neither.

As I don't understand how to create a like map item, I thing the problem is in "star_chart.lua".

Here is what I got in Client_Log.txt

Can someone help me checking this lines? I'm almost finishing my character and I'm looking for a solution to this "problem".

Try putting this as a line

 

 

Thanks to your insight, I could manage fix somethings. Thanks a lot.

I added this lines to my "star_chart.lua":

 

Quote

inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "star_chart"
inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/star_chart.xml"

This lines fixed the inventory icon problem, but not the "on ground" image. So I looked a little bit more in "mapscroll.lua" script and figured some others lines I needed to change "mapscroll" to "star_chart".

To finish my character, as a star gazer, he can't be able to craft this map during the day and dusk. Only at night of the forest world. He can't be able to craft in any time inside caves.

So the idea is: Everytime he tries to craft the "star_chart" during day, dusk or caves, he would say something like:
"I can't draw what I can't see..."

I think it would be better them have a message for the day/dusk and another for the caves... I don't really know.

There is a way I can reach this result?

Did you rename the build files? You cant just rename animation files

Here you can compare the lines and see what was done. I changed the Asset directories and traded "mapscroll" to "star_chart" in some cases. Traded "mapscroll_cave" to "none" too (because I don't really understand how to make the star chart only craftable in the night phase of the Forest World). That is what I'm trying to figure out now.

Alright so I'm at school so I cant explain as well but simply renaming animation files will not work, you need to rename the build file inside, you can do this by extracting it and renaming the scml files, you also need to rename the banks inside of the scml file too.

if you want the same exact look, keep the lines for anim assets and animstates
