Trying to make a character mod, need help.

[Israphelite]

Uh, I kinda am having trouble making a custom item. Specifically the custom torch that she can only craft. Can somebody walk me through how to make a custom torch? For instance, do I have to copy the torch files and paste it in the prefabs folder?

[Leonardo Cox]

using the torch prefab as a base will definitely make making a custom one easier. As for making it only for her to craft she'd need a unique tag and the recipe for that custom torch will need to specify only those with the unique tag can craft it.

 

local require = GLOBAL.require
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
---------------------------------------------------------
--Custom Recipes
local Ingredient = GLOBAL.Ingredient
local torchrecipe = AddRecipe("prefabnamehere", {Ingredient("boards", 4),Ingredient("cutstone", 2)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.LIGHT, GLOBAL.TECH.SCIENCE_NONE, nil, nil, nil, 1, "uniquetaghere", "images/inventoryimages/prefab.xml", "prefab.tex")

So which Torch Files should I copy, there's obviously the torch.lua, but theres ones like torchfire_common.lua, torch.zip, torchfire.lua, and other stuff. Do I copy all the ones I have listed and put them in my mod's prefabs or?....

 

(Gonna take a break for today, would love the info anyways though)

[Leonardo Cox]

just torch.lua. torchfire_common, etc. are just skin related files.

I'm back. So I copied and pasted the torch lua into prefabs, what do I do now? I dunno how to give it custom sprites or change it's recipe.

So is this the code for just the recipe itself or is it for the recipe and having her be the only one able to craft it?

[Lumina]

You see the "uniquetaghere" in the recipe ? If you give a tag to your character, and put the same tag in this recipe (replace "uniquetaghere") then your character will be the only one able to craft it.

[Israphelite]

Oooooh, cool! So where do I paste this in the torch.lua files?

torch.lua

[Leonardo Cox]

You post this recipe into the modmain.lua, not your torch.

[Israphelite]

Okay, where in the main?

modmain.lua

Also, you are supposed to make your own torch. It should be a copy of the prefab, but with it own name.

[Israphelite]

I did, friend told me how to. Extracted the .zip and renamed the schml or whatever it is called files

[Israphelite]

Just wanna know how to make it have a custom recipe and be craftable only by Queen Metheus

[Israphelite]

Is anybody willing to code the torch for me? I can do the spriting. My friend suggested that I get somebody to code it for me. If anybody is willing I can send you the files you need and will put you in as one of the mod makers.

[Israphelite]

O-Okay, here is my Torch and Mod Main files... You may wanna take a look at them and tell me what's wrong or what I need to do... I'm worried I screwed up already...
