Custom Item/Tool

[Lokoluna]

So i've been building up my character with his own sort of uniqueness along with some uniqueness from other mods and the base characters.. however I'd love for him to haev a sort of unique.. item to start with/be able to craft.. How would i go about, taking something already in the game.. recoloring it.. and renaming it / recipies.. that only he can craft?

For editing existing textures I recommend looking into a custom character/item tutorial where custom textures are explained.

For recipes that can only be used by your character, you will need to give him a custom tag:

--in masterpostinit of yourcharacter.lua
inst:AddTag("myawesomecharacter") --you can name this whatever you want, but if it uses the same name as other existing tags it can cause issues.

Then you will need to add a custom recipe into your modmain.lua

local Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient

local customrecipe = AddRecipe("itemprefabhere", {Ingredient("cutgrass", 3),Ingredient("carrot", 2), Ingredient("berries", 6)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.TOWN, GLOBAL.TECH.SCIENCE_ONE, "yourtagnamehere", nil, nil, 1, nil, "images/inventoryimages/yourprefabicon.xml", "youprefabicon.tex")

You can see existing recipes if you want to know stuff like tab names : Don't Starve Together/data/scripts/recipes.lua
