Custom Structure placement missing green outline?

[Sir_Squidly]

I've been working on a small mod to make some structures craftable, and have just gotten a Marble Pillar fully craftable, however, there is missing the green outline of the structure, which I don't know how to add, if it's supposed to be added.

you need to add MakePlacer("common/marblepillar_placer","BUILD", "BANK", "ANIM") iirc.

I already have this:

MakePlacer("marblepillar_placer", "marblepillar", "marblepillar", "idle")

 

Random question: How do I check what needs to be added into these places for making future objects?

@Sir_Squidly there should be a bit that says "SetBuild", "SetBank" and "PlayAnimation". Those are the things you want to use (in your case, I think the animation needs to be "idle_full")

[Sir_Squidly]

@Mobbstar This may sound incredibly stupid but ...a bit where? Is there a location where I can check all this? Also, i'm going to try that right now!

[Mobbstar]

In the respective prefab file, e.g. data/scripts/prefabs/marbepillar.lua

@Mobbstar  Afraid the idle_full did not seem to work, I'll try investigating the prefab of the pillar to see if I could find it out

[Sir_Squidly]

@Mobbstar Well then, I just got it finished! It's working properly now which is great! Thank you very much for your assistance good sir!

 

Now, i'm trying to get the random marble tree to work, which is most likely due to the multiple idle animations it has, so i'll probably just try random numbers until it sticks! 

EDIT: Yup, got it, thank you again for your help!
