Custom Cause of Respawn

[Aquaterion]

player:PushEvent("respawnfromghost", {cause = "testrespawn"}) <-- in another file where its being used

STRINGS.NAMES.TESTRESPAWN = "Test Respawn" <-- In modmain

Anyone know whats wrong, or how to do it? as its still saying "Shenanigans"

The respawnfromghost event is being handled by prefabs/player_common.lua|OnRespawnFromGhost function, which doesn't recognize data.cause. Try

player:PushEvent("respawnfromghost", { source = { name = "Test Respawn"} } )

Ok so trying that crashed me, but in the background, I could see that it did work

Yeah, source is expected to be an entity, so it's still a hack

player:PushEvent("respawnfromghost", { source = { name = "Test Respawn", components = {} } } )

Awesome, thanks man, you're like the only person that ever replies to my posts ^^ How can I easily find where these functions and stuff are being called? I always wanna see what variables things use, but I can rarely actually find them..

[Muche]

I just search all lua files under scripts folder.

For events it's either ListenForEvent("<eventname>" or PushEvent("<eventname>", depending on whether you want to find out what is handling or firing the event, then more searching for declarations of functions and reading how they are handling their parameters. And possibly adding some debug prints that print name of the current function (or other unique identifier) and values of variables of interest.

For general overview, I read

and other guides it refers to.

I'm sure searching each lua file 1 by 1 would take a long time, is there something you use to quickly search all of them?

[Muche]

I use Far manager, I'm sure any other decent file manager would have similar function of searching all files with a specified extension under a folder.

I guess it's possible to setup the search in vanilla Windows as well, I just never bothered to find out how to do it.
