[Solved] How to check what type of turf inst is on?

[. . .]

Hello, I need some help if someone can help that'd be nice !

Here is code.

modmain.lua

Spoiler

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst)
	local pt = Vector3(math.random(-1000, 1000), 0, math.random(-1000, 1000))
	local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(pt.x, pt.y, pt.z)
	if tile == GROUND.SAVANNA then
		inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grass1")
	else
		inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grass1_forest")
	end
end)

 

 I'm trying to change texture of grass to be different if not on savanna turf, the problem is it seems even when I plant grass on a savanna "tile" it still goes to the forest texture, does someone know what is wrong or if this is the wrong way to do this? Thanks for your time have a wonderful time!

You pick a random point which doesn't have any relations to grass entity. Of course it will not work.

local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())

hey, thanks for your help! I did this code

Spoiler

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst)
	local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
	if tile == GROUND.SAVANNA then
		inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grass1")
	else
		inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grass1_forest")
	end
end)

 

but for some reason the grass still changes to the forest color even when on savanna turf , thank you for your help still

When you (or the game) create an entity, its coordinates are 0, 0, 0. So you need to wait for one frame before check the tile:
 

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst)
    inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function(inst)
        local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
        if tile ~= GLOBAL.GROUND.SAVANNA then
            inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grass1_forest")
        end
    end)
end)

Hey man thanks so much it works great thanks thanks !!

If you might be willing to help me out with a little more of this that'd be superduper awesome!

so I wanted to exclude a couple other biomes from having "forest" grass but when I tried

Spoiler

local GROUND = GLOBAL.GROUND

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst) -- Alternate texture.
    inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function(inst)
	
        local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
        if (tile ~= GROUND.SAVANNA) or (tile ~= GROUND.ROCKY) or (tile ~= GROUND.DESERT_DIRT) then
            inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grassgreen_build")
        end
		
    end)
end)

 

it ruined everything and now all grass becomes forest again

if tile ~= GROUND.SAVANNA and tile ~= GROUND.ROCKY and tile ~= GROUND.DESERT_DIRT then

or

local GROUND = GLOBAL.GROUND

local ignoreGreenGrass = 
{
	GROUND.SAVANNA = true,
	GROUND.ROCKY = true,
	GROUND.DESERT_DIRT = true,
}

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst) -- Alternate texture.
    inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function(inst)
	
        local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
        if not ignoreGreenGrass[tile] then
            inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grassgreen_build")
        end
		
    end)
end)

Hey thanks again so I tried this code

Spoiler

local GROUND = GLOBAL.GROUND

AddPrefabPostInit("grass", function(inst) -- Alternate texture.
	local ignoreGreenGrass = 
	{ -- line 579
	GROUND.SAVANNA = true,
	GROUND.ROCKY = true,
	GROUND.DESERT_DIRT = true,
	}

    inst:DoTaskInTime(0, function(inst)
	
        local tile = GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:GetTileAtPoint(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
        if not ignoreGreenGrass[tile] then
            inst.AnimState:SetBuild("grassgreen_build")
        end
		
    end)
end)

 

but it crashes saying " :580: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 579) near '=' " , do you maybe know why this happens, and the other code works perfectly but still just curious why the table one didn't and thanks again for your help !!!

local ignoreGreenGrass = 
	{ -- line 579
	[GROUND.SAVANNA] = true,
	[GROUND.ROCKY] = true,
	[GROUND.DESERT_DIRT] = true,
	}

This would work, I think.

Yeah, It should. I've forgotten that the GROUND table contains numbers and not strings.
