Fist Projectile?

[ELEMENTALCRAFTER009]

This might be long depending the answer, but I was wondering if was possible to make it so that when nothing is equipped in the hands slot, you can fire a projectile similar to the fire staffs?

Well, the usual way is to make an equipped weapon a projectile.

 

But you can do something like this:

local CASTFIRE = AddAction("CASTFIRE", "Cast Fire", function(act)	local projectile = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("fire_projectile")	projectile:AddComponent("weapon")	projectile.Transform:SetPosition(act.doer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())	projectile.components.projectile:Throw(act.doer, act.target)	return trueend)CASTFIRE.rmb = trueCASTFIRE.distance = 7AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson", GLOBAL.ActionHandler(GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTFIRE, "throw"))AddPrefabPostInit("wilson", function(inst)	inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function()		local self = inst.components.playeractionpicker		self.rightclickoverride = function(inst, target, position)			local actions = {}			if target and target.replica.health and not (inst == target) then				table.insert(actions, GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTFIRE)			end			return self:SortActionList(actions, target)		end	end)end)

Would this be for a specific character or for all characters? Also, is there a way to edit the projectile being fired as far as damage and effects?

 

Edit: Variable AddAction is not declared

@ELEMENTALCRAFTER009, what I did there is for only one character: Wilson.

Although everybody gets the stategraph change, only Wilson gets the right click override.

 

If the variable AddAction is not declared, it's because you are not putting the code in modmain. It has to go there.

AddAction and AddStategraphActionHandler are only valid in modmain.

 

You can put the content of the AddPrefabPostInit in your character's prefab though.

Ah, okay. To change the character would I just change wilson in the AddPrefabPostinit to the desired character? And is there still a way to change the damage?

@ELEMENTALCRAFTER009, yes.

Or you can insert the content of the AddPrefabPostInit into your character's prefab.

 

AddStategraphActionHandler and AddAction are only for the mod environment though.

I'd like do to this for my character, but when i enable the char mod this happens :

I added  this line of code to the chunk:

castlightning.id = "Cast Lightning Ball"

adn here is the whole chunk of code:

local CASTLIGHTNING = AddAction("castlightning", "Cast Lightning Ball", function(act)    local projectile = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("bishop_charge")    projectile:AddComponent("weapon")    projectile.Transform:SetPosition(act.doer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())    projectile.components.projectile:Throw(act.doer, act.target)	castlightning.id = "Cast Lightning Ball"    return trueend)CASTLIGHTNING.rmb = trueCASTLIGHTNING.distance = 7 AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson", GLOBAL.ActionHandler(GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTLIGHTNING, "throw")) AddPrefabPostInit("wally", function(inst)    inst:DoTaskInTime(3, function()        local self = inst.components.playeractionpicker        self.rightclickoverride = function(inst, target, position)            local actions = {}            if target and target.replica.health and not (inst == target) then                table.insert(actions, GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTLIGHTNING)            end            return self:SortActionList(actions, target)        end    end)end)

So hope you can help with that

@NeddoFreddo, there's no chance any of that work.

AddAction takes an action for argument in Don't Starve, not that info.

It also doesn't have the health replica, and the throw state is different.

local myaction = GLOBAL.Action(7, true, true, 7)myaction.str = "Cast Lightning Ball"myaction.id = "CASTLIGHTNING"myaction.fn = function(act)	act.doer.AnimState:PlayAnimation("throw")	act.doer:DoTaskInTime(7*GLOBAL.FRAMES, function()		local projectile = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("bishop_charge")		projectile:AddComponent("weapon")		projectile.Transform:SetPosition(act.doer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())		projectile.components.projectile:Throw(act.doer, act.target)	end)	return trueendAddAction(myaction)AddComponentPostInit("playeractionpicker", function(self)	if not self.inst.prefab == "wilson" then return end	local _GRCA = self.GetRightClickActions	self.GetRightClickActions = function(self, target_ent, position)		local actions = _GRCA(self, target_ent, position)		if target_ent and target_ent.components.health and not (self.inst == target_ent) then			actions = self:SortActionList({ GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTLIGHTNING }, target_ent)		end		return actions	endend)

This works better.

Thank you so much! I don't know if this is the right place to ask but there is one problem, when you use this to attack birds/rabbits etc they don't fly away after getting hit, I don't want people able to infintely get morsels from birds and rabbits. Also is there a way to add a cooldown, right now you can fire it like a machine gun.

Thanks again.

EDIT: A bigger issue is that any character can us the lightning ball ability now, for some reason.

@NeddoFreddo, ah, yes, the playeractionpicker loads but the player prefab isn't setup in the moment.

So, here, another way to go with it. Also added 10 sec cooldown.

local myaction = GLOBAL.Action(7, true, true, 7)myaction.str = "Cast Lightning Ball"myaction.id = "CASTLIGHTNING"myaction.fn = function(act)	act.doer.lightincooldown = true	act.doer:DoTaskInTime(10, function() act.doer.lightincooldown = nil end)    act.doer.AnimState:PlayAnimation("throw")    act.doer:DoTaskInTime(7*GLOBAL.FRAMES, function()        local projectile = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("bishop_charge")        projectile:AddComponent("weapon")        projectile.Transform:SetPosition(act.doer.Transform:GetWorldPosition())        projectile.components.projectile:Throw(act.doer, act.target)    end)    return trueendAddAction(myaction)local function editPAP(inst)	if not (inst.prefab == "wally") then		return	end	local self = inst.components.playeractionpicker	local _GRCA = self.GetRightClickActions	self.GetRightClickActions = function(self, target_ent, position)		local actions = _GRCA(self, target_ent, position)		if not self.inst.lightincooldown and target_ent and target_ent.components.health and not (self.inst == target_ent) then			actions = self:SortActionList({ GLOBAL.ACTIONS.CASTLIGHTNING }, target_ent)		end		return actions	endendAddSimPostInit(editPAP)

[ZupaleX]

For the birds to fly away or rabbits to flee you could do something like that

local function runawaytest(target)  if target.components.health and not target.components.health:IsDead() then    if target:HasTag("bird") then      TheWorld:DoTaskInTime(0.5, function() target.sg:GoToState("flyaway") end)    elseif target.prefab == "rabbit" then      TheWorld:DoTaskInTime(0.5, function() target:PushEvent("gohome") end)    end  endend

and then call this in your projectile.onhitfn
