Help with a character ability

[Guij2]

Hi! I'm developing a character mod, the character is like an engineer, so I want him to be able to build every structure, without needing a science machine or an alchemy engine. Something like the wickerbottom ability. How do I do this? ;-;

Hello Mr. Rowlet, welcome to the forums, you can do something like this:

inst.components.builder:UnlockRecipe("prefab") --prefab being the name of the item, such as "researchlab"

 

For doing multiple things like you want, I'd suggest making a table of the things you want to be able to craft and make a for loop to unlock each one, like so;

local structures = {"researchlab", "researchlab2", "chest", "firesuppresor", "icebox"}
for i=1, #structures do
	inst.components.builder:UnlockRecipe(structures[i])
end

Thank you! And... where exactly do I put this? It's my first mod, I'm still a bit confused with the script...

in your character's master_postinit function.

Also here's a version where it would check first if you have the recipe or not

local structures = {"researchlab", "researchlab2", "chest", "firesuppresor", "icebox"}
for i=1, #structures do
	if inst.components.builder:KnowsRecipe(structures[i]) then
		inst.components.builder:UnlockRecipe(structures[i])
	end
end

Ok, thx!

[Guij2]

Hey, it actually didn't work :c I still need the science machine/alchemy engine to build all of them.

Edit: Oops, my bad, I didn't see the version with multiple things to unlock

That won't work for items added by mods or future recipes added by Klei. Even if you wanted to do it that way you could instead do inst.components.builder:GiveAllRecipes(). <- Nevermind that makes everything free.

I would do this instead, in your master_postinit:

	inst.components.builder.science_bonus = 100
	inst.components.builder.magic_bonus = 100
	inst.components.builder.ancient_bonus = 100
	inst.components.builder.shadow_bonus = 100

For reference, Wickerbottom has a science_bonus of 1, but setting all of them to 100 just unlocks it all since it checks for <= for recipe tiers.

He only wanted STRUCTURES tho, not every item I think..

[Guij2]

Yeah, actually I wanted only sctructures. Aquaterion code solved my problem. Thx

So much for my reading comprehension.

 

Edit: Here's for every structure without the sanity boost or manually inputting each:

	for k,v in pairs(AllRecipes) do
		if not inst.components.builder:KnowsRecipe(k) and AllRecipes[k].tab == RECIPETABS.TOWN then
			local recipe = GetValidRecipe(k)
			if recipe ~= nil and not recipe.nounlock then
				inst.components.builder:AddRecipe(k)
				inst.components.builder.inst:PushEvent("unlockrecipe", {recipe = k})
			end
		end
	end
