Any way to make hot-bar not move upon adding a new equip slot?

[Cyde042]

I need to add an invisible equip slot, preferably off screen. I took a look at extra equip slots and this part works:

Spoiler

AddGlobalClassPostConstruct("widgets/inventorybar", "Inv", function()
    local Inv_Refresh_base = Inv.Refresh or function() return "" end
    local Inv_Rebuild_base = Inv.Rebuild or function() return "" end

    function Inv:LoadExtraSlots(self)
       --self.bg:SetScale(1.35,1,1.25)
       --self.bgcover:SetScale(1.35,1,1.25)

        if self.addextraslots == nil then
            self.addextraslots = 0

            self:AddEquipSlot(GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.EXTRA)
--[[
            if self.inspectcontrol then
                local W = 68 --68
                local SEP = 12 --12
                local INTERSEP = 28 --28
                local inventory = self.owner.replica.inventory
                local num_slots = inventory:GetNumSlots()
                local num_equip = #self.equipslotinfo
                local num_buttons = self.controller_build and 0 or 1
                local num_slotintersep = math.ceil(num_slots / 5)
                local num_equipintersep = num_buttons > 0 and 1 or 0
                local total_w = (num_slots + num_equip + num_buttons) * W + (num_slots + num_equip + num_buttons - num_slotintersep - num_equipintersep - 1) * SEP + (num_slotintersep + num_equipintersep) * INTERSEP
                self.inspectcontrol.icon:SetPosition(-4, 6) -- -4 6
                --self.inspectcontrol:SetPosition((total_w - W) * .5 + 3, -6, 0)
            end
]]
        end
    end

    function Inv:Refresh()
        Inv_Refresh_base(self)
        Inv:LoadExtraSlots(self)
    end

    function Inv:Rebuild()
        Inv_Rebuild_base(self)
        Inv:LoadExtraSlots(self)
    end
end)

The commented part doesn't seem to do anything when it's only 1 slot.

So this does add the slot, without a background, which is exactly what I want except it also centers all the hotbar according to the number of item slots, so it goes out of bounds of the hotbar background. I could simply make it wider, but that would cause compatibility issues with other mods that change the hotbar.

So, could anyone tell me how do I go about making the newly added slot not affect the overall positioning?

You can't use self:AddEquipSlot() if you want it to not affect the other slot tiles.

By the way, doesn't calling AddEquipSlot() tell the game to perform a Rebuild() next tick? If so, calling AddEquipSlot() after every Rebuild() impacts performance at all times.

Ehhh, I just copy-pasted from equip-slots mods, but forget it I found a workaround.

 

I tried earlier making it act like the beard does, but making another component wasn't enough, I had to make the temperature component take into consideration the new 'beard' component too. And it's working as intended.

 

Thanks anyways.
