help Prefab Graphics Bug (Help)

[RedTarantula]

So! Nearly everything on my mod is working correctly. For the last thing, I created a "cave spider egg sack" prefab that works just like the regular spider egg sack but spawns a Spider Hole instead of a Den once deployed.

It works as it's meant to work, it's spawning the Spider Hole, but I'm having a few issues.

1- The graphics are mostly working. However, it's invisible when on the ground and also the "positioning ghost" for when the player is about to deploy it doesn't show up either. I edited the Spider Hole's graphics to make it on the size of an inventory item and I would like basically the same thing for when it's on the ground or being deployed.

2- When the player deploys it, they're pushed backward. This is probably due to the structure's size x deploying size(?). I don't know if there's a way of fixing this.

it's probably something wrong with the build or bank of the inventory item, but we'll need more information about that to know.

As for the physics size pushing them back, you might be able to change its physical size (without changing the size of the sprite) with inst.Physics:SetCapsule(x, y) with x being the diameter and y being height

I based the prefab off the game's normal egg sack.

require "prefabutil"

local Assets =
{
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/cave_spider_egg_sack.zip"),
    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/cave_spider_egg_sack.xml"),
}

local prefabs =
{
    "spiderhole",
}

local function ondeploy(inst, pt)
    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/spider/spider_egg_sack")
    local tree = SpawnPrefab("spiderhole")
    if tree ~= nil then
        tree.Transform:SetPosition(pt:Get())
        inst.components.stackable:Get():Remove()
    end
end

local function onpickup(inst)
    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/spider/spider_egg_sack")
end

local function fn()
    local inst = CreateEntity()

    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()

    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)

    inst.AnimState:SetBank("cave_spider_egg_sack")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("cave_spider_egg_sack")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle_90s")

    inst:AddTag("cattoy")

    inst.entity:SetPristine()

    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end

    inst:AddComponent("stackable")
    inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_LARGEITEM    
    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")

    inst:AddComponent("fuel")
    inst.components.fuel.fuelvalue = TUNING.LARGE_FUEL

    MakeSmallBurnable(inst, TUNING.LARGE_BURNTIME)
    MakeSmallPropagator(inst)
    MakeHauntableLaunchAndIgnite(inst)

    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst:AddComponent("tradable")
	inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/cave_spider_egg_sack.xml"
	
    inst.components.inventoryitem:SetOnPickupFn(onpickup)

    inst:AddComponent("deployable")
    --inst.components.deployable:SetDeployMode(DEPLOYMODE.ANYWHERE)
    inst.components.deployable:SetDeploySpacing(DEPLOYSPACING.NONE)
    inst.components.deployable.ondeploy = ondeploy

    return inst
end



return Prefab( "cave_spider_egg_sack", fn, Assets),
    MakePlacer("cave_spider_egg_sack_placer", "spider_mound", "spider_mound", "spider_mound")

 

 

This here is the scml, I don't really know how to deal with these files so I also based it off an existing mod.

I used the game's egg sack image for now just until I make it work, then I'll work on a graphic for it myself.

I'm attaching everything that has to do with the prefab. That's not the entire mod, so I did not include modmain or modinfo or whatever else the mod contains, which I judged to be irrelevant for this. I can post the whole thing if needed.

 

Thanks in advance!

Cave Spider Egg Sack.rar

[Aquaterion]

it should be idle not idle_90s, even if its called like that in spriter, pretty sure

[RedTarantula]

Ive tried that. Doesn't work either

[Aquaterion]

Try changing the entity name in spriter to "cave_spider_egg_sack" while also doing PlayAnimation("idle") in code

[RedTarantula]

It worked for the item on the ground, but not for the "placer", like when you're gonna place the normal egg sack as in the picture I attached to this post. Regardless that already helped me a lot! Thank you so much!

 

For anyone who might see this in the future, my problem was with naming things correctly in Spriter. I knew it was something dumb. I haven't really messed around with that tool too much, so yeah.

 

Edit: Just noticed the "PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/spider/spider_egg_sack")" isn't playing any sounds

 

These are the last things for the grand finale of my mod. I wanna post a thread for it once I'm done with this.

I really appreciate all you guys' help!

MakePlacer("cave_spider_egg_sack_placer", "spider_mound", "spider_mound", "full") --or "med" for the flatter version
