Is that possible to "overwrite" existing prefab ?

[Gustoiles]

Hi everybody.

I'm a complete newbie in modding.

I'm trying to change an existing creature in a mod, so I have copy/paste the file .lua in my /script/prefabs and add the prefabs in modmain too but that doesnt seem to work.

The change I made in the file .lua pasted doesn't seem to work.

So, the question is in the title : Is that possible to overwrite existing prefab with another prefab in the mod with same name ?

You should generally edit existing prefabs using AddPrefabPostInit in modmain.lua

AddPrefabPostInit("twigs", function(inst)
  inst.Transform:SetScale(2,2,2) -- This is just a test: the twig item should be twice the size now
end)

Oh, thanks, that could work but i have another question, how could i make another setbuild for the existing prefab ?

Mobbstar replied about proper solution. But if you are really want to override prefab - you have to put it into scripts/prefabs/prefab_name.lua

and change mod priority to lower than mod where prefab already exists.
