Is there a sample mod anywhere which shows the structure of a placeable item like a chest?

-Has crafting recipe

-Placeable in the world (like a campire)

 

I've tried to work my way through but can't get my item to be placeable after clicking on the crafting recipe.

 

my recipe is as follows: 

local myprefab = AddRecipe("myprefab", {Ingredient("boards", 1)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.FARM,  GLOBAL.TECH.NONE)

myprefab.atlas = "images/inventoryimages/myprefab.xml"

But when I click on it it just completes and doesn't let me place it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for the explanations, I knew i was missing some fields. that fixed that issue but it seems to be invisible and nonexistant...

MakePlacer returns a prefab.

You have two prefabs with the same name.

 

Try using:

MakePlacer("common/myprefab_placer", "myprefab", "myprefab", "idle")

and puttin myprefab_placer in AddRecipe.

I don't think im following, putting that line in modmain causes a crash. To be honest I'm not even sure my file structure is correct. I only have 1 prefab which is the myprefab.lua

In your prefab.lua, you have:

return Prefab("common/myprefab", fn, assets, prefabs),       MakePlacer("common/myprefab", "myprefab", "myprefab", "idle")

Edit that MakePlacer line.

Ok, the collision box is in place when built but there is still no art being shown.

If you c_spawn("myprefab") via the console, does something show up?

no but the hitbox is there so the prefab is being created in the world.

 

while writing this i reworked the animation and spriter files. Got it showing up in game. thanks for your help man, I really appreciate it! I'm going to upload a sample structure template for future people to use for their mods since there isnt much documentation.
