overwrite a PrefabFiles

[Rokin]

Hello,

 

I have a doubt, if I want overwrite a default PrefabFiles (ex : scripts/prefabs/beefalo.lua) with my custom prefab beefalo.lua, i must do write in my modmain.lua :

 

PrefabFiles = {

  "beefalo",

}

 

(etc...)

 

for it to be loaded or it is not necessary ?

 

 

(sorry for my bad english )

@Rokin, it's bad practice to overwrite prefab files. Use AddPrefabPostInit to change the prefab to your desire instead.

as Kzisor said, you better to not overwrite. Just modify some strings, functions etc. which you want. That's how f.e. AddRecipe works - it just modify recipes (adds one more), but not overwrite the whole file.

+ you can replace the whole function with your custom one, or just replace some strings. f.e. Spear uses is 150 (can't remember). You may add strings to just increase uses:

inst.components.finiteuses:SetMaxUses(TUNING.SPEAR_USES * 2)    inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(TUNING.SPEAR_USES * 2)

it will replace the old strings
