Custom Action Example (Goes to modmain.lua)

local Action = GLOBAL.Action
local ActionHandler = GLOBAL.ActionHandler
local actionname = Action({mount_enabled=true})
actionname.str = "Action name" -- Name of your action.
actionname.id = "ACTIONNAME"  -- ID of your action.
actionname.fn = function(act)
	local builder = act.doer.components.builder
	local MAGIC = builder.accessible_tech_trees.MAGIC -- TECH level for your action, in this cace MAGIC.
	if builder and MAGIC > 1 then -- Executable if close to Prestihatitator/Piratihatitator/Hogus Porkusator, Shadow Manipulator or your character MAGIC = 2 or 3
		-- Your action.
	end
end

AddAction(actionname)
AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson",  ActionHandler(actionname, "dolongaction"))

Custom Components Function Example (Goes to custom component)

function Componentname:CollectUseActions(doer, target, actions)
	local builder = doer.components.builder
	local MAGIC = builder.accessible_tech_trees.MAGIC -- TECH level for your action, in this cace MAGIC.
	if builder and (MAGIC == 1 or MAGIC == 2) then -- Available if close to Science Machine/Alchemy Engine,  Prestihatitator/Piratihatitator/Hogus Porkusator or your character MAGIC = 1 or 2
		-- Your function.
	end
end

 

Function is responsible for showing and calling action.

Action is responsible for executing action.

Function can be different than Action, but if Action won't be true,
it will fail after animation which in this case was "dolongaction".
