Cause earthquake from surface

[JaccK1618]

Is there any sort of line of code where someone on the surface could cause an earthquake for players in the caves at the same time?

-- In the prefab
function StartQuake(inst)
	for _, player in ipairs(AllPlayers) do
		player:PushEvent("manmadequake", { causer = inst })
	end
end

-- modmain
AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	inst:ListenForEvent("manmadequake", function(inst, data)
		if GLOBAL.TheWorld:HasTag("cave") then
			GLOBAL.TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_miniquake", { rad = 10, num = 15, duration = 5, target = inst })
		end
	end)
end)

The code has not been tested, good luck!

Use shard RPC.

-- define the RPC
AddShardModRPCHandler(YOUR_MOD_NAME, "cause_earthquake", function()
  GLOBAL.TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_forcequake")
end)

-- call the RPC
SendModRPCToShard(GetShardModRPC(YOUR_MOD_NAME, "cause_earthquake"))

Where do I put these?

The first one possibly in modmain, the second one where you want the quake trigger to be called from (e.g. put in a function that triggers the RPC on item use)

Not sure if that'll work, I have to learn more of the RPCs myself.
