Mod Question

[Rosten]

So, you know that thermometer mod i requested earlier? well im going to try my hand at it granted i have no coding knowledge but hey, i can learn So, i'd like to know if you could make a HUD element appear only when your holding a item, kinda like how the log meter only appears when woody is in beaver form, but with a item and how could you do that?

My guess would be to use the OnEquip and OnUnEquip functions to show or hide it.

 

But I've never done anything with HUD elements like that, so, take it as a suggestion, not a guarantee.

[Rosten]

Wow, quick answer, thanks

well, atm i believe i have the code that shows the temperature value can't test it tho because everytime i go to click mods in dont starve it crashes

 

 

Edit- Well i guess while i wait for a fix for this im gonna read some lua tutorials and things 

Edit2- Why is every LUA tutorial for roblox? -.-

If you need help fixing something that crashes the game you need to give us much, much more information. Usually showing your code and uploading your log.txt found at C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve/ is a good start.

It's actually nothing with the mod, its just whenever i click the mods button on the don't starve menu screen the game simply crashes, i've looked it up and i know other people have been having this problem and i haven't been able to find a fix.

Not sure if i should give this mod its own thread, mostly because its being made for the sake of my learning

I hope, it's the same issue: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/index.php?/topic/28008-mod-help/

Now that i've got most of it sorted, 'cept a small little bit... onto actually creating the item and making it work..

[Rosten]

Well im reading the artists guide to making new characters/items im no artist but it will suffice

It said that all items have to be based off of something, does that mean just like from a animation and looks perspective, or from a effects and damage and that sort of thing?

if the former then ill be basing my item off of the spear and whenever you have it equipped it will show your current temperature

and while you have it equipped it'll degrade like a torch, i could possibly make it where everytime you right click you get a measure of your temperature and it would drain like 5% from it

unless you want to get into complex stuff (all the new mod tools for animations textures etc), it means having the texture and animations being based off another one.

 

in terms of item abilities many things are possible with the right knowledge of coding

Oh, by the way if anyone here knows a thing or two about art, i'd love for someone to help with the art, i made textures, but their really... really.. bad.

Signing off for a bit, cya
