I'll start tagging you then  

@SuperDavid

Thanks alot! i'll save the spriting and detailed stats and all for later, hope you will still help me out by then!

Next up would be.. the 2 attacks. How do i take the effect of an item ingame and set is as just a keypress without the item?

One would be the huge summoned foot, the other would be the effect of the flute that puts surrounding enemies to sleep

@SuperDavid The items are called 'Old Bell' and 'Pan Flute'

What exactly do i need from the item and where do i put it?

Hmmm... That maybe too hard for me but I do remember a mod which calls a giant fist on enemies like how the old bell does.

I think it was a one piece mod too https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=697540251 you should look through the code here in this mod & try to get the fist.

As for the pan flute sorry but I really wouldn't know how to do that Dx...

[509071_1452787209]

There are multiple one piece mods with that, so i thought it might be possible

But thats alright. i'll save it for later.

Would you be able to help me with the stats then when the character is transformed?

Or perhaps a ranged attack without having to equip a weapon?

A teleport bound to right click? (Seen this before)

An effect for when transformed? (Seen this before)

Starting item? (Seen this before)

Extra craftable for the character? (Seen this before)

There are alot of things i want to do xD

I just dont know what to do with the coding and where to put it

Maybe it'd be easier if you could like explain me a little on how i know what the code means,

and how i know where to put it, and what exactly i need to put there?

I dont know, i dont wanna bother you with all of this xD You've been helping out alot already..

If you dont want to anymore, i understand, thank you already!

In luffy.lua there will something like this which you can add item for example I added a spear to it.

you can replace spear with any item debugspawn name

local start_inv =
{
 "spear",
}

Yes, I can.

Do you mean he can craft like a spear without a science machine? For example add this to your modmain.lua

you can replace spear with any item debugspawn name

AddPrefabPostInit("luffy",
function(inst)
if(inst.components and inst.components.builder)
then
inst.components.builder:UnlockRecipe("spear")
end
end
)

I don't know what you mean by this? Can you tell me in more detail?

Download a mod which has that feature & look through the code because I wouldn't know how to do that, sorry...

For range attack without weapon I wouldn't know either, sorry!

@SuperDavid

-Starting item, as in a costum hat. (So how can i create my own item/equippable, and make my character start off with it)

- Changing stats when transformed; What coding would i need to add to, for example make the hunger drop faster?

(Also, how could i make transformation 1 and 2 overlap? How would one go at this?)

-Effect for when transformed; For example, when pushing the transform button, an explosion happens where the character is standing.

-Also, how do i make my character bigger when transformed?

I never made a item before so I wouldn't know what to tell you, you should probably download a mod which also adds a hat & take the code..

You can change the numbers to anything you want for example 1.25 would be 25% higher than Wilson.

inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = 2 * TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE -- Default hunger is 1, this's double hunger of Wilson

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2 -- Default is 1, this's double attack of Wilson

inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 2 * TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED -- Default is 1, this's double speed of Wilson

inst.components.hunger.hurtrate = 1 -- Default is 1, how much damage u take from starving

inst.components.eater.strongstomach = true -- Can eat monstermeat no penalty

inst.components.eater.ignoresspoilage = true -- Ignores spoilage

inst.components.combat:SetDefaultDamage(10)  -- How much damage dealt with fists, default is 10

inst.components.sanity.neg_aura_mult = 0.75 -- How much sanity drain from monsters, default is 1

inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = 0.75 -- How much sanity drain from darkness, default is 1

inst.components.temperature.inherentinsulation = 100 -- How much insulation from cold, default is 0

inst.components.temperature.inherentsummerinsulation = 100 -- How much insulation from heat, default is 0

inst.DynamicShadow:SetSize(1.3, .6) -- How big is his shadow, default is (1.3, .6)

inst.Transform:SetScale(1, 1, 1) -- How big is he, default is (1, 1, 1)  btw I never used this so it might not work

If you want to add coding for when he transforms then put it in the TRANSFORM_? in modmain.lua where it says " -- IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE ANY STATS WHEN HE TRANSFORMS PUT IT IN HERE " you just add them there, don't forgot for them to have " act.target" instead of the usual "inst"

Replace the respective actions in your modmain.lua with this.

act.target.components.talker:Say("I lost transform 1. I'm now just in transfrom 2!")
end
end
AddAction(TRANSFORM_1)

I don't know sorry.

[509071_1452787209]

I dont think the combination transform works??

I have tried making the character bigger when transformed, and it works! But how do i set it back when untransforming again? Same goes for speed and other stats.

Where do i put 

inst.components.eater.strongstomach = true

For when in any form?

Here I fixed the problem a.zip! It only took me 1 hour of bashing my head against the wall to fix it!

In the modmain.lua it would show where that other stuff you asked would go.

[509071_1452787209]

Thanks alot, im sorry you have to put so much effort into something for someone else.. :S I really appreciate the effort!

So umm, its working now. But when i like combine them, is there a way to sortof fuse the way it looks?

example; when combined you have the arms of transformation 1, but the rest is transformation 2?

Or would it be easier to change the coding to yet another transform once combined?

What part of the coding nullifies the effect of transform again? Im using the scale increase on transform 3 but it doesnt change back :l

p.s. did you add the 

Quote

inst.components.eater.strongstomach = true

on the regular(base) form?? It needs to be like that in any mode. (Thats how it works right? If nothing is changed from base stats then it remains the same in other transforms?)

I'm sorry I tried the size thing & it didn't work for me so unfortunately I don't know how to use it so I can't help with that...

Add that code in luffy.lua under master_postinit if you want him be able eat monstermeat all the time

You're going to have to make 1 new texture build which's when transform 1 & transform 2 is fused

[509071_1452787209]

About the size; would it be possible to 'reset' by setting the other forms back to 1,1,1 ?

Done. Named it 'luffy_armament_haki_gear_second'.

Replace your old modmain with this one.

[509071_1452787209]

O wow lol, the tiniest details really matter..

Btw, i have fixed the issue of the size when transforming back. 

Was pretty simple actually, starting to learn haha

act.target.components.talker:Say("I can't!")
end
end

Also, i have accidently taken the skin of the fused transform as basic skin.

And it wont change back again.. How do i fix this?

Can you explain to me in more detail? Or you can just post the entire mod then I can fix it.

[509071_1452787209]

Well, the basic form has the look of the 'armament haki gear second' form.

Even tho the files are correctly named i think?
