Modding Help Where are these effects?

Edit: Now I need to figure out how to make "fireImmunity" into a status effect so that a given consumable can apply it for a given duration.

Help is appreciated. I have zero experience with LUA.

I'm currently looking for where effects, like "regeneration4", are found in the assets. If someone could point me to the correct folder, that would be great. The "effects" folder seems to deal with particle use by these effects, and does not contain the raw effect data itself.

 

Check out stats\effects\regeneration. References regeneration.lua, which is where the magic happens.

 

I managed to find it shortly before you posted, Grover. I will keep this thread open for any questions I might have regarding status effects in the near future. [DOUBLEPOST=1425108362][/DOUBLEPOST]Okay, question time.

I want to make an item which makes the player resistant to burning. In burning.statuseffect, there is this little bit of coding:

Code:

"blockingStat" : "fireImmunity",

Which obviously indicates that the status effect that blocks burning is "fireImmunity". So I pasted "fireImmunity" into the effects given by a consumable when eaten, crafted the consumable in-game, ate it and...

Code:

[23:22:02.653] Error: Exception caught in client main-loop: (StatusEffectDatabaseException) No such unique stat effect 'fireImmunity'
  StatusEffectDatabaseException::StatusEffectDatabaseException(string)

Tell me, oh glorious @GROVER CURES HOUSES, what should I do?

 

Fire immunity is not an effect. It's just a property, like name or description. You need to set "statusSettings" : { "stats" : { "fireImmunity" : { "baseValue" : 1.0 } } } to have 100% fire protection. Going off mostly memory + 2 second grep.

e: uh status settings is for spawning things, isn't it? fuck it, it's a stat like health and energy, set it like one of those

 

And where would I add that?

Edit: Just to clarify, I do not want the effect to be permanent. I want it to be temporary, and wear off after a certain period.

 

Um... okay. I have no idea why you posted the coding for Ape Grapes here when there isn't even a reference to fire, burning or other such attributes, but okay.

 

I'm not all that certain, but I'm guessing you'd have to define an effect that provides FireImmunity=1.00 as Grover said, and then insert that effect into the food's list of effects, along with a duration to make it temporary.

The end result of your food's entry would look something like this, I imagine.

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "FireBlockingFood",
  "rarity" : "Common",
  "inventoryIcon" : "apegrapes.png",
  "description" : "Eat this, then go dance on hot coals.",
  "shortdescription" : "Fire Blockin' Food",
  "handPosition" : [0, -4],
  "effects" : [ [
    {
        "effect" : "FireImmunity100",
        "duration" : 105
    }
  ] ],
  "blockingEffects" : [
    "wellfed"
  ],
  "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "fruitsalad" ]
}

Not having a lot of experience with this, I'm not sure where you'd define what the FireImmunity100 effect is. If I'm wrong, here's a hammer, club me with it.

 

Alright, so "statusEffects" : [ { "stat" : "fireImmunity", "amount" : 1.0 } ] doesn't crash, but fireImmunity also doesn't have an icon associated with it so I don't really know if it's doing anything. Look at how statuseffects are written, make one that sets fireImmunity to 1.0, add a duration and use that. fireImmunity appears to be a really hacky way to stop monsters from burning to death in hot biomes, so I have no idea how it will interact with players.

 

I have exactly zero experience with LUA thus far so I gotta take this slow.

I'll start with a file that already exists in the assets (liquidImmunity.lua):

Code:

function init()
  effect.addStatModifierGroup({
    {stat = "lavaImmunity", amount = 1},
    {stat = "poisonImmunity", amount = 1},
    {stat = "tarImmunity", amount = 1},
    {stat = "waterImmunity", amount = 1},
  })
end

function update(dt)
end

function uninit()
end

If I copied that file, renamed it, and edited it to the following, would it work?

Code:

function init()
  effect.addStatModifierGroup({
    {stat = "lavaImmunity", amount = 0.5},
    {stat = "fireImmunity", amount = 0.5},
  })
end

function update(dt)
end

function uninit()
end

 

...

Well, you could have just said that outright instead of assuming I knew why you were posting easily accessible Ape Grapes coding that is largely the same as other food coding...

Anyway, I'm not really interested in blocking the effect entirely. I'm more interested in reducing the effect by 50%, and the same for "melting" as applied by lava.

 

"statusEffects" : [ { "stat" : "fireImmunity", "amount" : 0.5, "duration" : 10 } ] will get you 50% fire damage reduction for 10s, I think.

 

I'm off to start testing. Wish me luck.

 

Burning.lua determines how burn damage is applied and it doesn't check the float at all. It either does no damage in the immunity is active or full damage if it isn't. You could modify it...

 

Hmm... well, I'm not experienced enough to modify it, but I do have some good test results thus far with setting lavaImmunity to 1 for my new status effect. So, I'll try 0.5 next.

And that is not what I want to do, xxswatelitexx. I know you're trying to be helpful, but I am trying to make a status effect, not purely block damage.

 

But its a floaaaaat (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

Damage is applied directly by that script, without shenanigans you would end up having to edit it for partial damage reduction no matter what.
