Custom recipe - character specific? [short, easy question]

[Foxrai]

For Don't Starve Together, I have a recipe, as a part of character mod. It's placed in modmain.lua. 

 

looks like this:

local someitem_recipe = Recipe("someitem", {Ingredient("rocks", 10), Ingredient("log", 25), Ingredient("twigs", 8)}, RECIPETABS.TOWN, TECH.NONE)someitem_recipe.sortkey = 1someitem_recipe.atlas = resolvefilepath("images/inventoryimages/someitem.xml")STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.SOMEITEM = "bla blablabla blah!"

Like this, if mod is enabled, everyone on the server can make it. And the deal is - to make it ONLY the character the recipe comes from specific.So no other characters can craft it.

 

I guess it's very simple, so sorry for stupid question -.-

@Foxrai, Look at DST RoG Characters. The IsRecipeValid part, and then you add a tag to the character prefab like AddTag("someitem_builder").

 

But you shouldn't set the sortkey to 1, there. Set it to -50 or something, because sortkeys are what are used to send the recipes to the host (e.g. a client says "build recipe 21!" and the host says "okay, let's look up 21... that's a firepit, building it...". So by setting your sortkey to 1, you're preventing people from building whatever was recipe #1 before).

DST ROG... ok will check that out. I kinda compared only Wickerbottom.

So when the character has for example tag: book_builder, then only this character will be able to build "book" item? 

 

So in general - the safest way is to set sortkey for like 50 or 100? And It will show up under everything else?

Like any high numer shot, so nothing in different mod will argue with it?

Sorry for interfering in OPs topic but I feel my problem sorta relates, how would I go about this with items already implemented in the game? Like I want my character to make Purplegems only in the pseudoscience machine and thats going swell, except now people who want to make purple gems normally can't because I moved it to pseudoscience.

 

I only WANT HER to make purple gem with this recipe, and no one else. Everyone else uses the default recipe in the default tab.

 

So what I'm using is WebWeb the mighty spider mod and based on what I found i made this:

-- This initializes for both clients and the hostlocal common_postinit = function(inst) 	-- Minimap icon	inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "char.tex" )	inst:AddTag("ancientbuilder")	local purplegem_recipe    purplegem_recipe = Recipe("purplegem", {Ingredient("flint", 10),Ingredient("nightmarefuel",2),Ingredient("goldnugget",7)}, RECIPETABS.ANCIENT, TECH.ANCIENT_TWO ,nil,nil,nil,3)    purplegem_recipe.sortkey = -73

Weird that the recipe isn't in the modmain but when I played it worked perfectly.

In her modmain I added:

local Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredientlocal RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABSRECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABSRecipe = GLOBAL.RecipeIngredient = GLOBAL.IngredientTECH = GLOBAL.TECH

Yet again, sorry for interfering.

@rezecib,

 

Looks like this now:

 

local common_postinit = function(inst)     inst.soundsname = "wendy"    inst:AddTag("sanityorb_builder")end

and recipe is modified to this:

 

someitem_recipe.sortkey = -8812221 (are you sure I add "-" in it?) 

 

Doesn't seems to work :/ But I must admin I haven't found RecipeIsValid part for DST ROG characters.. :/ they are pretty plain comparing to normal DS characters in DST..

 

 

[rezecib]

@Foxrai, No, not their prefab files in the game files, the mod I wrote, "DST RoG Characters".

 

@rons0n, No, this is a separate issue. You cannot have two recipes for the same prefab. You need to make it a recipe for a proxy prefab that then removes itself and gives a purple gem.

@rezecib Before I delete this post and my previous post, both being unrelated to this topic, I promise it wasn't intended . Is there a mod with a proxy prefab so I may use it to experiment?

[rezecib]

@rons0n, Not that I know of. But you can look at the perishable component, as it essentially does the same thing-- removes itself and gives you rot.

[Foxrai]

Ow. ok silly me then... trying with Your mod.

And - don`t edit your post. Let it stay there since it`s recipe related. Someone might still find it

Then I must be blind - only seeing MORE Rog characters... And nothing like you mentioned before in there

 

I added sanityorbbuilder tag to my character.. Just can't seem to figure out how to connect it with the recipe... I guess it needs something like "if has tag, then can build.."

 

sorry in advance

I'll just leave this here.

This type of Recipe adding works very poorly.

 

All mods that Overwrite the  local OldIsRecipeValid = GLOBAL.IsRecipeValid, will conflict with each other. Making it so only 1 Mod recipes work, while any other is overwriting.

 

Until Klei comes out with a better way to handle custom private character recipes, it is best to leave it open for all characters to craft.

[Jjmarco]

Actually, no. Here, the old isRecipeValid is backed up in a variable, then used inside the function than overrides it, while adding custom verifications. That way, multiple mods may override isRecipeValid without conflicting with each others, as long as they use the old function inside the override.

That's the modding powers of Lua right there.

 

The main problem is sortkey overlap. That's why rezecib uses -9000 to index the sortkeys of his custom recipes, to avoid as much as possible conflicts between mods. It's indeed not very robust, but it'll do until Klei comes up with a proper API.

What does the , nil, nil, nil, nil, true),  stand for in recipes that have  a tech level?

@JadeKnightblazer, Look at recipe.lua:

Recipe = Class(function(self, name, ingredients, tab, level, placer, min_spacing, nounlock, numtogive)

So the four nils are placer, min_spacing, nounlock, and numtogive. Maybe there used to be another argument, but there isn't anymore. I just copied the recipe declaration from RoG's Wigfrid code, which has that at the end of its recipes.

[JadeKnightblazer]

Ah, thank you

[RedMattis]

Does this method still work? I get an error complaining that "IsRecipeValid" isn't declared on the "local OldIsRecipeValid = GLOBAL.IsRecipeValid" line

@RedMattis, This method is obsolete. You can now directly specify a builder tag in Recipe;

Recipe(<name>, {<ingredients>}, <tab>, <levels>, nil, nil, nil, nil, <builder tag>)

[SenL]

What are those four nils? What about recipe with _placer (for structure)?

Thanks!

I wonder what those "min_spacing" and "nounlock" mean.

[JadeKnightblazer]

min_spacing, the room / distance required to be able to be placed on the ground. Either they can be pretty close or a lot of empty space.

 

nounlock, means the ability to learn how to craft without the need of a research lab after the first crafting.  If this is set to yes, then the play must always go to the research lab to craft (think of it like a crafting table).

[SenL]

Thanks!
