Choosing between prefab art when building something

[QuickShot010]

Ok, so a while back i added Cave Paintings to my mod, Drok the Caveman. The cave paintings are randomized, just like the flowers are. But i want a way to choose which cave paintings you are going to place without spamming the crafting tab. Maybe something like when you are placing it you can press a key or mouse button to change the 'random' art. 

 

This is the paintedrock.lua at the moment:

local Assets =

{

	Asset("ANIM", "anim/paintedrock.zip"),

    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/paintedrock.xml"),

}


local names = { 

    "prock1",

    "prock2",

    "prock3",

    "prock4",

    "prock5",

}


local INTENSITY = .5


local function onsave(inst, data)

    data.anim = inst.animname

end


local function onload(inst, data)

    if data and data.anim then

        inst.animname = data.anim

        inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation(inst.animname)

    end

end


local function onhammered(inst, worker)

    inst.components.lootdropper:DropLoot()

    local rocks = SpawnPrefab("rocks")

    rocks.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())

    SpawnPrefab("collapse_small").Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())

    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/destroy_stone")

    inst:Remove()

end


local function onhit(inst, worker)

    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("hit" .. inst.animname)

    inst.AnimState:PushAnimation(inst.animname)

end


local function fn(Sim)

	local inst = CreateEntity()

    inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()


    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()

    light:SetFalloff(1)

    light:SetIntensity(INTENSITY)

    light:SetRadius(1)

    light:SetColour(180/255, 195/255, 150/255)

    light:Enable(false)


	inst.entity:AddTransform()

	inst.entity:AddAnimState()


    MakeObstaclePhysics(inst, .5) 


    inst:AddComponent("fader")

    inst:AddTag("structure")

    inst.AnimState:SetBank("paintedrock")

    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("paintedrock")


	inst:AddComponent("inspectable")


    inst:AddComponent("characterspecific")

    inst.components.characterspecific:SetOwner("drok")


    inst:AddComponent("lootdropper")

    inst:AddComponent("workable")

    inst.components.workable:SetWorkAction(ACTIONS.HAMMER)

    inst.components.workable:SetWorkLeft(4)

    inst.components.workable:SetOnFinishCallback(onhammered)

    inst.components.workable:SetOnWorkCallback(onhit)  


    inst.animname = names[math.random(#names)]

    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation(inst.animname)


    inst.OnSave = onsave

    inst.OnLoad = onload 


        if GetWorld():IsCave() then

            STRINGS.CHARACTERS.DROK.DESCRIBE.PAINTEDROCK = "It so beautiful it shine!"

            STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.PAINTEDROCK = "I'm not sure what makes it shine..."

        end


    return inst

end


STRINGS.NAMES.PAINTEDROCK = "Rock Paintings"

STRINGS.CHARACTERS.DROK.DESCRIBE.PAINTEDROCK = "Drok show dominance!"

STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.PAINTEDROCK = "Those paintings are from an ancient time..."


return Prefab( "common/objects/paintedrock", fn, assets),

        MakePlacer( "common/paintedrock_placer", "paintedrock", "paintedrock", "prock1" )

 

 

I hope someone can help!

@QuickShot010, I understand your issue, but I'm not sure what you're expecting. Do you want to know how to use the mouse/keyboard inputs? Are you unsure how to change the painting's texture?

 

For the first, see "..\scripts\input.lua". It contains various functions to aid you in accessing user input.

You can call them through the global TheInput table.

 

For the second, I think you can just change inst.animname and call the animation again.

inst.animname = "prock2"inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation(inst.animname)
