waterproof player characters?

[kaetzer]

evenin'

 

i really enjoy the rather large modding community, can find all kinds of cool things

and since the coding doesnt look too complicated, i can even make little adjustments (to characters for example) to better suite my needs

 

with emphasis on "little"...

 

my question now is: is there a way to make a character ITSELF rainproof? for example: only get soaked at XX% the normal speed, or a "waterproofer" ability like some clothes have

 

come to think of it, there are quite a lot of furry chars out there, a function for them to "shake off" the rain and dry a certain amount instantly, like animals do, would be funny, wouldnt it?^^ (but thats far out of my league (for now))

 

greetings kaetzer

 

PS: while i'm at it, did i see that correctly, that the coding language is C or some derivative? (am not well versed in programming languages, just learned the C basics a few weeks ago)

Waterproof character?

inst.components.moisture.maxMoistureRate = 0

This would nullify rain, but you would gain wetness from waterballoons, fashion melon, and ice cube.

inst.components.moisture.DoDelta = function(self, num) return end

This makes wetness take a hike, no more wetness, at all.

thanks, looks handy, i'll look into it should i get more into modding

 

inst.components.moisture.maxMoistureRate = 0

thanks a lot, works great is it a percentage or absolute value? ah, i'll just play around with it a little^^

[kaetzer]

oh, one more thing: when i'm testing around like this, do i have to start a new game everytime i alter or install a new mod?

[DarkXero]

The default maxMoistureRate is 0.75. It's used to cap how fast you can get wet while exposed to rain.

 

Depends on the mod. But most likely, no, just enable/disable it before going into the same game.

ah, cool, thanks, so if my char should only get 50% wet it would be 0.37, right? i just tested it a little (world settings: rain = lots) and 0.5 seems nice so far

 

it's a custom character mod i manipulated a bit, and every time i tweak something (like more health or less, fire resistance/vulnerability, damage etc.) i used to start a whole new game, but i could have tweaked it on the run?!

[DarkXero]

"It's used to cap how FAST you can get wet while exposed to rain." So no, moisture cap is still 100.

 

If by tweaked on the run you mean editing the modmain and then immediately see the changes while running the game, the answer is no. By start a whole new game, I assume you CREATE a server. You just need to RESUME one.

only singleplayer

@kaetzer, still, all you need to do is quit to the menu, then click Play and reload the world.

 

If you are going to mod single player I you should go to the other subforum, to use GetPlayer(), GetWorld(), and single player stuff.
