Custom Stat as Crafting Material

[Aquaterion]

As title stats, I'm finding this to be pretty much impossible to figure out..

did this to add the stat and image

GLOBAL.CHARACTER_INGREDIENT["CUSTOMSTAT"] = "decrease_customstat"

but sadly still gives the following error:

WARNING! Could not find region 'FROMNUM' from atlas 'FROMNUM'. Is the region specified in the atlas?
Looking for default texture '' from atlas 'FROMNUM'.
images/inventoryimages.xml

Usually I just add the atlasname but I'm not sure how I would go about doing this for stats.

Now while I had this issue, I decided to explore where the default stats are being used, and in builder_replica I found out that it has an if for every stat, which I think, means that it doesn't support custom stats, unless I edit base files?

I hope someone is able to help you with this. I'd love to have a "Dream Energy" stat for my character that is used for crafting.

This is very easy to set up, you have to overload a few function in order to do it though. Here is a simple example you will have to modify it as needed for your own usage.

EXAMPLE:

Texture/Atlas Files:

modmain.lua code:

CHARACTER_INGREDIENT["LEVEL"] = "decrease_level"

local recipe = AddRecipe( "soul_essence", { Ingredient( CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL, 5, "images/decrease_level.xml") }, RECIPETABS.MAGIC, TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "wortox", "images/inventoryimages/soul_essence.xml", "soul_essence.tex" )


local builder_replica = GLOBAL.require("components/builder_replica")

local function BuilderReplicaPostInit( inst )

	local _RemoveIngredients = inst.RemoveIngredients
		function inst:RemoveIngredients( ingredients, recname )

			local recipe = AllRecipes[recname]

			if recipe then
				for k,v in pairs(recipe.character_ingredients) do
					if v.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
						self.inst.replica.leveler:SetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM, 							self.inst.components.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) - v.amount )
					end
				end
			end

			_RemoveIngredients( self, ingredients, recname )
		end

		local _HasCharacterIngredient = inst.HasCharacterIngredient
		function inst:HasCharacterIngredient( ingredient )
			local _ret = _HasCharacterIngredient( self, ingredient )		
			if not _ret then
				if ingredient.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
					if ingredient.level_tag ~= nil and self.inst.replica.leveler ~= nil then
						print( ingredient.level_tag )
						return self.inst.replica.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) >= ingredient.amount
					end
				end
			end

			return _ret		
		end
end

BuilderReplicaPostInit( builder_replica )

Note: Take notice how I pushed an atlas file as the 3rd parameter of the Ingredient class. The atlas file and texture file must be named the same as you put in the custom character ingredient.

character prefab.lua master_postinit function:

local _RemoveIngredients = inst.components.builder.RemoveIngredients
	function inst.components.builder:RemoveIngredients( ingredients, recname )

		local recipe = AllRecipes[recname]

		if recipe then
			for k,v in pairs(recipe.character_ingredients) do
				if v.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
					self.inst.components.leveler:SetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM, self.inst.components.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) - v.amount )
				end
			end
		end

		_RemoveIngredients( self, ingredients, recname )
	end

	local _HasCharacterIngredient = inst.components.builder.HasCharacterIngredient
	function inst.components.builder:HasCharacterIngredient( ingredient )
		local _ret = _HasCharacterIngredient( self, ingredient )		
		if not _ret then
			if ingredient.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
				if self.inst.components.leveler ~= nil then
					return self.inst.components.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) >= ingredient.amount
				end
			end
		end

		return _ret		
	end

Note: Modify the cost above as needed and put it at the very bottom of your master_postinit function, this only runs on the server.

Conclusion:

This can easily be modified to work with any custom stat, you should make a new icon for the stat unlike I, which was used the essence texture as the decrease_level texture file.

Not ENOUGH Ingredients

GOT INGREDIENTS

 

Edited March 7, 2016 by Kzisor
Updated the code to work with client side.

[Aquaterion]

Awesome, didn't know you can put the ingredient atlas as the 3rd parameter, since recipes that required my modded items were causing issue this fixes it too.

Since the stat I made is a stat I give to all characters, I had to figure out where to put that code, which was in the same function in modmain that adds the customstat component to every character.

I did have to change self.inst to inst in the  functions but other than that so far its working perfectly, all I gotta do now is test it to make sure it works with other people online as I haven't tested anything yet.

 

Thanks for your help ^^

[Aquaterion]

Ok so I got my friend to try it out and he couldn't even join without crashing

I was using this to give the custom stat and its also where i put this ingredient thing:

for k,prefabname in ipairs(GLOBAL.DST_CHARACTERLIST) do
    AddPrefabPostInit(prefabname, AddStat)
end

the stat and character ingriedient were in AddStat but when ever he tries to join he gets this error:

error calling PrefabPostInit: webber in mod workshop-637153586 (Mod):
[string "../mods/workshop-637153586/modmain.lua"]:152: attempt to index field 'builder' (a nil value)

        =[C] in function 'xpcall'
        scripts/mods.lua(123,1) in function 'mod'
        scripts/mainfunctions.lua(157,1)

line 152 is this:

local _RemoveIngredients = inst.components.builder.RemoveIngredients

 

So to fix this, I added

if GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim

to your code, but then later realised that this makes the recipes only work for the host

 

So how am I to go about making these builder functions available to everyone?

Well, I specifically wrote how to handle it from a custom character perspective because most mods do not add new stats to every character. In order to add a new custom character ingredient for all characters you must use the components code for the server and then use replica code for the client side (note: you simply replace components with replica and it should work for clients, but you must have both sets of code for it to work across the board).

Edited March 7, 2016 by Kzisor
Removed code as it did not work as intended.

[Aquaterion]

Damn I thought it was gonna be that easy..

Same error I was having at the start, the 1 I had to do ismastersim to fix

for k,prefabname in ipairs(GLOBAL.DST_CHARACTERLIST) do
    AddPrefabPostInit(prefabname, AddStat)
end

is this even a good way to put the code on all characters?

To answer this question, no that is a bad way of handling that. You should use 'AddPlayerPostInit' it accepts 1 argument which is a function.

To answer how to make this work with clients, use the following code and alter it as needed.

local builder_replica = GLOBAL.require("components/builder_replica")

local function BuilderReplicaPostInit( inst )

	local _RemoveIngredients = inst.RemoveIngredients
		function inst:RemoveIngredients( ingredients, recname )

			local recipe = AllRecipes[recname]

			if recipe then
				for k,v in pairs(recipe.character_ingredients) do
					if v.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
						self.inst.replica.leveler:SetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM, 							self.inst.components.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) - v.amount )
					end
				end
			end

			_RemoveIngredients( self, ingredients, recname )
		end

		local _HasCharacterIngredient = inst.HasCharacterIngredient
		function inst:HasCharacterIngredient( ingredient )
			local _ret = _HasCharacterIngredient( self, ingredient )		
			if not _ret then
				if ingredient.type == CHARACTER_INGREDIENT.LEVEL then
					if ingredient.level_tag ~= nil and self.inst.replica.leveler ~= nil then
						print( ingredient.level_tag )
						return self.inst.replica.leveler:GetLevel( TUNING.WORTOX.LEVEL_SYSTEM ) >= ingredient.amount
					end
				end
			end

			return _ret		
		end
end

BuilderReplicaPostInit( builder_replica )

 

Edit:

I've updated the original code I posted so if you are viewing this post after 03/06/2016 use the code in the original post I made as it will work perfectly.

I haven't been able to try it yet as the people I was testing with are both offline, but just to be clear, first put the new "replica" code, then the old "component" code right?

Just tested it out, still other clients can't use the stat as a recipe, btw, their stat meters are also not working(this was happening before, i just wanted to point it out), but the stat should be working.

If you want I can send you the files, maybe i've done something wrong

If it's not working on your end then you've did something in correct and you will need to debug it on your end. The code supplied works effectively across both my computers.

Hmm Maybe the issue is with using self.inst or inst, at first changing self.inst to inst helped, atleast in the host one, but this 1, didn't:

Replica's are kinda like components, but run on the clients. Are you using AddReplicaComponent to actually add the component replica?

Example:

AddReplicableComponent("leveler")

You add that in your modmain.lua file. That is more than likely why you don't have replica showing up.

[Aquaterion]

YES I GOT IT TO WORK, THANKS SO MUCH, NOW ALL I GOTTA FIX IS THE METER!! The problem is that it doesn't show the current number for clients. I tried replacing some things with replica but I don't believe it worked, any ideas?

You have to use net variables for widgets/replicas. You can learn about net variables in one of the stickied posts by @PeterA.

Ok so like after 6 hours of changing things, I managed to get the netvar thing to not crash the game.. I went to a local dedicated server to try it... andd badge still doesn't change.. Weird thing is, I made the console print the value when it changes, and it does print the value changing but the client side always shows 100/100

local function Set( netvar, value )
    print("Set:value:" .. value) -- *
    netvar:set(value)
end

--* This prints correctly on server console, and incorrectly on client console, always printing 100

function Stat:SetCurrent(current)
    Set(self.inst["current"], current)
end

I really don't wanna give up as I did implement a good amount of features into this mod.. I don't get why a damn number is so hard to display for clients..

It seems client --> server works, but server --> client doesn't, from what I understood

I think its because I don't explain how statdirty works exactly..

---

Edit: So I changed some things and now my stat meter is blinking, and when i hover on it it shows -1.IND

It's blinking depending on the DoDelta, so progress or what?

Make sure you're listening for the event which is suppose to be sent across the network (the "netvardirty" when you create the net variable) on the client also make sure the net variable is on the client not only on the server.

Hmm actually, I think the "current" value is working fine, but "max" isn't.. not sure why..

nevermind.. still not working

I do have this in modmain.lua in the PlayerPostInit:

if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
            inst:ListenForEvent("currentdirty", OnStatDirty)
end
