How to make Wortox waste their lives on teleportation?

Hello. I am going to start off by saying I looked through the thread by PeterA on net_vars. I also tried Googling it but nothing shows up that is relevant or helps me understand any better. For the record, I am still learning LUA, and as such, there are many "complex" things about it that I don't understand. I have looked at LUA tutorials as well but they still somewhat fly over my head because I have no prior coding experience. Regardless, I'm still extremely determined to finish the character mod and have made tons of progress thanks to my friend, @poolcool2. I have been told here that I should learn how net_variables work in order to accomplish what I want to do as mentioned in this thread I made. I am just trying so hard to understand that it's really frustrating having to rely on everyone explaining what every tiny thing is to me in Dummy's Simple English. Though, if anyone knows of any good resources that explains LUA and/or net_variables and what they are/how they work in an easy to understand way, please share them with me too! Thank you and any help at all is greatly appreciated!

I want to make the Spooky Dance in DST but I forgot what tools to use, and how to use them. I am not very experienced in mods, but the only thing I ever was able to make was a song play on loop.

I just need the file animation code as Playable pets updated them into it and I want to be able to do that cute animation from the trade inn game.

I was wondering if they where going to reuse that old Zeb from hamlet that was never used as I liked it and can see it being turned into a horse or somethin, or maybe a cute little pony to teach players about horse back riding and equine care. I'd even draw some concept art of some cute little pony possibilities that you can find for that event!

I want to alter the location of the ammo slot for the pew-matic to make it appears above the weapon slot like in the beta, so that it won't interfere with my another mods I have. Can someone help me with this?

So I was looking on google to see if there was a alphabet version of the pictures as I want to decode what the Methus puzzle is talking about, I know a few of the words like "W" is for King and "M" for Queen but how do they use the alphabet when they write about that puzzle? And any other translation to the images unless there is no full alphabet.

Just wondering, how the heck do I keep abigail alive for phase 3 of the celestial champion. I've been practicing the fight and have managed to do the first two phases without her dying but when phase 3 comes along I always find abigail either getting sniped by the lasers or the gestalt attack (even if I managed to avoid it accordingly) I'm using her vigor mortis potion for speed, along with magiluminessence and lazy explorer for my own speed(to make her not stop moving) Weapon of choice is dark sword, armor is thulecite crowns + night armors(with me switching to magiluminessence for dodging the first phase roll and second phase spin). I'm also using the spicy volt goat jelly too, fighting the boss in spring. I know that info doesn't mean much though. But yeah, just wondering, how the heck do I get past phase 3 without abigail just dying in the first few seconds? I've been trying to practice beating the boss without her dying.

Now I have been curious what would happen if you where able to merge a Shadow/Nightmare terror/Crawler with a Gestalt, what would be the name and what would they be like?

I've been thinking of what Wilson would look like with straight hair, and any of the others with crazy hair.

So I am just making sure before I post my character idea to help Klei get some inspiration for a new DLC character where this falls under.

So there was a mod made by a user that put Adventure Maxwell (or Tall NPC Maxwell) in game, but the page to it leads to this: "Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request: There was a problem accessing the item. Please try again. Here's a link to the Steam Community home page." Did Klei get rid of it? It was a really amazing mod like the Throne you can get stuck on. I just need to know what happened to one of my favorite mods that I liked to use.

I was wondering mod characters that look like the characters from Friday Night Funkin'? I want to be the characters in DST but I cannot seem to find anything that fits.

Hello there (General Kenobi) Every once in a while while generating maps the lunar island will appear either very close to the main land (sometimes even "choking" out a biome causing a thin main land road with two lunar island biomes on left and right) or even connected to the main land by a land bridge. I've looked through some scripts related to either the map gen or the rooms and can't figure out what exactly causes this to happen. Someone on reddit said a few months ago that he looked at the code and that it was a 10% chance for it to be close to the main land and a 1% chance for it to be connected to the main land.. What is the script that allows this to happen?

So... I making a character who can eat cutgrass. I have made different attempts but I have not come to anything yet, any help would be very helpful. I am quite a novice using the code. Thank you very much! Thanks

Hi, I am trying to edit a shared loot table (volt goats, specifically). My questions around this are thus: 1: is this table set every time a prefab loads? (does spawning a goat reset the table? Or is it set once, and once only?) 2. If the answer is the latter, where could I put my edit such that it is performed after the table has been set? I could put it in a AddPrefabPostInit function, but it seems wasteful to do that every time a goat spawns. I might just be over complicating this, but I am genuinely interested to know how you would do this for general knowledge. Does anyone have a link handy for what systems load in what order in DST?

Hello! It has been a while since I have worked on modding, so i'm pretty rusty. (Not that i was good to begin with) I'm looking to replicate something similar to Wortox's teleport ability but without the use of souls/blinkstaff without an item, i have gotten it to work with the use of souls but it seems to me the only other bit I need to change is the blink action itself. ACTIONS.BLINK.strfn = function(act) return act.invobject == nil and act.doer ~= nil and act.doer:HasTag("soulstealer") and "SOUL" or nil end ACTIONS.BLINK.fn = function(act) local act_pos = act:GetActionPoint() if act.invobject ~= nil then if act.invobject.components.blinkstaff ~= nil then return act.invobject.components.blinkstaff:Blink(act_pos, act.doer) end elseif act.doer ~= nil and act.doer.sg ~= nil and act.doer.sg.currentstate.name == "portal_jumpin_pre" and act_pos ~= nil and act.doer.components.inventory ~= nil and act.doer.components.inventory:Has("wortox_soul", 1) then act.doer.components.inventory:ConsumeByName("wortox_soul", 1) act.doer.sg:GoToState("portal_jumpin", act_pos) return true end end I'm going to need a new tag and remove the "and "SOUL" or nil" bit, but then if someone plays wortox that will mess them up i assume. Basically the question is, how can I make a new one of these actions without hindering other characters, i assume I shouldnt touch the actions.lua file at all, and if that is the case how would I do that in my character file? Bonus questions: How can i make custom localization so it does not say Soul hop, and make it say something else? Is it possible to change the key bind wrong right clicking to another key? I currently have it possible to use a keyhandler, but i'm not sure how to pass in anything other than right click local function GetPointSpecialActions(inst, pos, useitem, right) if right and useitem == nil then local rider = inst.replica.rider if rider == nil or not rider:IsRiding() then return { ACTIONS.BLINK } end end return {} end the "right" is there, but trying to change it to a key value like 122 will not read correctly like I have for other things. Thanks in advance!

it'd be awesome if i could let my character gain more sanity than average upon picking flowers! flowers give a +5 sanity boost. if i can double this to +10, that'd be perfect! i've looked around in a "making basic character perks" guide and have tried both "Erase/Increase/Decrease an existing sanity regen/damage on an item" on the prefab "flower", and also "Add a sanity aura heal/damage to an item/creature" to the prefab "flower", as well as "petals". none of these approaches have worked, so i'm wondering if anyone else out there has any idea how i can achieve this? ;3; tysm in advance!

about a month ago i had been working on a mod and looked around for a code of some sorts for what i want to achieve: making my character cook faster than average. i successfully found one, and it was working perfectly at the time! now it doesn't seem to be working and i'm very confused as to why. local old_cook_fn = ACTIONS.COOK.fn ACTIONS.COOK.fn = function(act, ...) local result = old_cook_fn(act,...) local stewer = act.target.components.stewer if result and stewer ~= nil and act.doer:HasTag("mycharacterprefab") then local fn = stewer.task.fn local t = GetTaskRemaining(stewer.task) stewer.task:Cancel() stewer.task = stewer.inst:DoTaskInTime(t*.5, fn, stewer) end return result end this is the code in question. this is all i've tried, to no avail: - adding it to character.lua by itself - adding it to character.lua inside of local master_postinit = function(inst) - adding it to modmain.lua at the very bottom could anyone explain to me what i'm doing wrong, and maybe give some pointers as to what i can do to fix this? ;; thank you very much in advance! ❤

Hello, I have a question. So I want to give my character the ability to give others a damage boost when using a staff item, is there something like "inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "mycharacter_speed_mod", 1)" but for damage instead of speed that i could use. ive looked trough the combat.lua component but couldnt find anything that i could use. I believe wont be able to use "inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier" because i believe that'l mess up characters like wolfgang and wigfrid (and modded characters). Unless this isnt the case i'd really appriciate the help!

So, we're trying to make a tool for the player to use, that, when it hits 0% durability, instead of breaking, will go in the player inventory and stay there, unusable until it gets repaired. I'm aware that we'd need to add a repair action, but we're struggling to actually work out how to make this happen. I did find an old thread with some code from w00tydood, but it didn't actually work. Could use a hand here on figuring out how to make this work.

I'm making a character from a game which there's a lot of language in it like f***, damn, shi*, crap, mother, ect. and I want to keep the character(s) faithful to their franchise *coughpd2cough*. I wanted to know is it okay for a mod on the workshop to have language, suggestive humor, crude humor, or will it be removed? I mean there's already mod for cannibalism which I think is much worse, but I want to be certain. Don't want to work hard then all of a sudden my mod was removed for 1 swear word in an examination quote . If it's not okay on the workshop is it possible for example I have 2 speech_files one is censored one is the original which is downloaded from somewhere else, would it be possible for a client to replace the censored one with the original one then they can see the original examinations or would the game crash if all players don't have the same exact speech_files? Thanks for reading my question, have a good day/night !
