Help with custom placeable in tabs

[notquitethatguy]

Hi, 

 

I would like to know how I can create a custom item in the tabs (Say the science tab) and then how I make that a placeable item.

 

Specifically, my man aim is take houndius shootius and turn it into a cheaper version, for a test. I've had a look at the Don't Starve scripts and there's a lot and I would like some pointers to specific tutorials, if possible.

 

Please note that I have used extended character template. I would like it to be part of the character mod.

Thanks.

@notquitethatguy, see the code of these mods (specifically the "cheaper" mods), then apply the concept to the prefab you want to change.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way to make this for my character only, so that I am the only one who is able to craft it cheaper or whatever?

@notquitethatguy

function cheaper_stuff(player)	if player.prefab == "your_character_prefab" then	-- ...	endend-- Executes the function above after the player is initializedAddSimPostInit(cheaper_stuff)

Thanks with all this, I'd be a little stumped with out it  .

Everything is working, it shows me the item in the tab and I can craft it, however, I cannot place it. Instead it just sticks it right ontop of my character.

Never mind, solved that!
