    Hello I am trying to make armour mod, and I was just wondering if it is possible to add tech to armour.
    What I am trying to do is call the dash script into the [json] armour file, like so:
    Code:
    "scripts" : [
    "/tech/dash/dash.lua",
    "/tech/dash/dash.techitem",
    "/tech/dash/dash.tech",
    "/tech/dash/dash.animation"
  ],
    The file is not crashing, and the helmet is wearable; just no tech (I cannot dash)
    Do I have to define something more? Or is it not possible?
    Sorry about my ignorance if this is a simple question, thank you guys alot! :laugh:

    I don't think you can call scripts with an armor file. Also, only the .lua file is actually a script. The rest of the files you included under "scripts" are all just JSON files.

    So you CAN add tech functionality to armor?

    Yes.
    Added around the same time the storage API was added.

    There was a mod in development a few months back - to add drivable mechs. It uses a hat which acts as a key - where you walk upto a mech object and you "get in" - instead of just spawning a mech miraculously from thin air.
