Custom crafting recipe?

[Augustusc]

Hello! I have a few questions related to crafting recipes.

How would one go about creating a crafting recipe for say, a hat.

all the files for said item are make, and the item works in game.

Fill in the following function with the appropriate information.

AddRecipe(prefab_name, ingredients, tab, level, placer, min_spacing, nil, numtogive, builder_tag, atlas, image)

Ingredients is a table of ingredients so it would be as followed:

{ GLOBAL.Ingredients("[INSERT PREFAB NAME HERE]", [INSERT QUANTITY HERE]), ... }

... is the additional ingredients that you want to add. If you only want to add one simply remove the ... from the code.

Do each of those need to be filled? i see a few i know to fill, but a few also don't look like anything i have seen before.

also. i'm assuming i put this into modmain.lua. if i want it so only the mod character i'm making can use this recipe, then do i put it in my character.lua?

They have to be filled in order, if you don't need one of the parameters(options) then simply fill it with 'nil' without the '.

That is what the builder_tag parameter(option) is for, example, "deathraybuilder" in your character common_postinit function you add the tag "deathraybuilder". Now only your character can build recipes with the tag "deathraybuilder".

here is the line of code i added to modmain.lua

AddRecipe(hat_herder, { GLOBAL.Ingredients("beefalowool", 12)}, RECIPETABS.DRESS, {SCIENCE = 0, MAGIC = 0, ANCIENT = 0},nil, nil, nil, nil, "herderhat_builder", "images/inventoryimages/hat_herder.xml", "hat_herder.tex")

 

I tried the code out, but i crashed, here is the log file.

It's actually GLOBAL.Ingredient.

It seems to me, that if you looked at how other mods/base game do things, it could answer a lot of questions.

@Muche is correct, also you need to have quotations around the prefab name.

It worked! thanks everyone

(for anyone who is having trouble, here is the line i used. just edit it to you're needs)

AddRecipe("hat_herder", {Ingredient("beefalowool", 12)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.DRESS, GLOBAL.TECH.SCIENCE_ONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "herderhat_builder", "images/inventoryimages/hat_herder.xml", "hat_herder.tex")

also. make sure you put these these things in the strings

local Recipe = GLOBAL.Recipe
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH
