Custom character is invisible upon spawning in

[Marmalade]

I've been working on my modded character for awhile, using some character template with a smile so vile. After renaming stuff here and there, when the game crashed I almost started to swear. Upon being birthed the character doesn't show, "Man" I thought, "what a h__! It may be a thing I forgot to rename, or my IQ to be the blame. Please help me, as you can see as I am (virtually) on my knees!

 

this took way too long, but using a character template for my modded character and after renaming a few files and changing codes, the player is completely invisible when they spawn in.

Show me your characters prefab file. I might be able to catch the error but I need to review your code.

wylda.lua

In order to make your character have animation you have to set it. player_common.lua that you're using sets it for you but you have to "tell it" what animations to use. So to do that you have to import your animations to your characters prefab file with:

local assets = {
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/your_character.zip")
}

That .zip file should have the same name as your characters prefab file.

player.common.lua sets characters bank and build like this:

inst.AnimState:SetBank("wilson") -- "wilson" is the default bank used for every character
	inst.AnimState:SetBuild(name) -- "name" is the name of the prefab and characters anim file, they need to be the same
	inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")

Whenever I put those bad boys in the file and replaced the name with wylda, it still was invisible

Weird. Everything looks fine. That means there must be a minor error in coding or some errors in anim files.

[Marmalade]

could sending the entire project over possibly help?

[-LukaS-]

Yeah, if you can, send it and I'll check it.

Can't you just upload the folder here? On mediafire you need a premium account to bulk download.

whenever I try to drag in the folder, it says upload failed

[-LukaS-]

Oh, you need to archive it first.

[Marmalade]

sorry for the not-so-speedy reply, I possibly forgot that I even posted here lol

removed zip file for stealers

So, I just tested out your mod and it seems like it works.

that folder is published as a workshop mod and whenever I update the mod with that exact file, open up dst, update the mod inside dst, the player is still invisible

[Marmalade]

alright, after fixing a few things and updating the workshop mod, the character now exists, but her custom voice instrument is gone

Sorry to necro an old post, but I believe this one is onto something and really relevant to the issue I'm having. I'm trying to make a mod as well, but I'm also running into this issue. I need to know exactly where the animstate lines go. Anywhere in bill_cipher_none.lua? or...

I've run the game putting it where I thought it'd go and it gave me this error.

And here's my lua too.

bill_cipher.lua bill_cipher_none.lua
