Character Requirements

[Tashaxe]

I looked around the forums to see if anyone had already asked this question and couldn't find anything, so I do apologize if it has indeed already been addressed.

 

With that being said, I am currently making a character mod and am curious if there is a way I can make it where only my Steam/KleiAccount can use it--making it inaccessible to others from the character selection screen or hidden from them all together. I am creating the character as myself & would love to use it for my streams to play with others I just feel it would be awkward if there were a bunch of other little Tashaxe's running around.

 

Thanks in advance!

@Tashaxe, custom characters MUST be downloaded by ALL clients in order for them to work properly. It's impractical to set up the mod in a way which would prevent other players from using the character.

Is it possible to use the locked character functionality in DST, or are those images just placeholders for now? Might there be a way to lock it, and tie the requirement to retriving the proper player ID?

Despawn people who aren't you:

local function OnPlayerSpawn(world, player)	world:DoTaskInTime(3.14, function()		if player.prefab == "Tashaxe" and player.userid ~= "ThatnumberafterKU_" then			GLOBAL.c_despawn(player)		end	end)end AddPrefabPostInit("world", function(inst)	if inst.ismastersim then		inst:ListenForEvent("ms_playerspawn", OnPlayerSpawn)	endend)

@Pyr0mrcow, I imagine something like that could be done when a lobby is implemented.

And that is on the works.

Ah, I thought that characters were server side mods. My mistake.
