Modding Help Custom fuel air trail?

Hello,

I am working on a new alt ability that works like the fuel air trail ability. Essential it's the same thing with a few tweaks in effects, looks, and behavior. My issues is that upon ignition the default "fuelairtrailignition" projectile is used instead of my custom version.

On the release of gas, the correct projectile is used because it is defined in the weapons altbility file. The ignition projectile doesn't appear to be defined at all within the altability lua file and the lua file for the fuelairtrail projectile.

Any ideas on where I might find the projectile input for fuel ignition? It seems to be defined as ignition but what defines ignition and where can I find it to add/edit my own?

Code:

  -- ignite trail
  if self.lastProjectileId and world.entityExists(self.lastProjectileId) then
    world.callScriptedEntity(self.lastProjectileId, "ignite")
    self.lastProjectileId = nil
    animator.playSound("trailIgnite")
  end

My issues most likely lies here, currently the lua fire for my custom alt ability is exactly the same. In this code it appears to replace the projectiles with the ignition projectile labeled as "ignite". I have not found a single place that defined the "ignite" parameter unless it is hard coded which doesn't seem likely.

 

require "/scripts/util.lua"
require "/scripts/vec2.lua"
require "/items/active/weapons/weapon.lua"
FuelAirTrail = WeaponAbility:new()
function FuelAirTrail:init()
self.cooldownTimer = 0
end
function FuelAirTrail:update(dt, fireMode, shiftHeld)
WeaponAbility.update(self, dt, fireMode, shiftHeld)
self.cooldownTimer = math.max(0, self.cooldownTimer - self.dt)
if self.fireMode == "alt"
and not self.weapon.currentAbility
and self.cooldownTimer == 0
and not status.resourceLocked("energy")
and not world.lineTileCollision(mcontroller.position(), self:firePosition())
and not world.liquidAt(self:firePosition()) then
self:setState(self.fire)
end
end
function FuelAirTrail:fire()
self.weapon:setStance(self.stances.fire)
self.weapon:updateAim()
local pParams = copy(self.projectileParameters)
pParams.power = pParams.power * root.evalFunction("weaponDamageLevelMultiplier", config.getParameter("level", 1))
pParams.powerMultiplier = activeItem.ownerPowerMultiplier()
self:spawnProjectile(self:firePosition(), pParams)
animator.playSound("trailLoop", -1)
-- lay trail
while self.fireMode == "alt" and not status.resourceLocked("energy") do
if not world.entityExists(self.lastProjectileId) then break end
if world.liquidAt(self:firePosition()) then return true end

local lastPosition = world.entityPosition(self.lastProjectileId)
local delta = world.distance(self:firePosition(), lastPosition)
if vec2.mag(delta) >= self.projectileFrequency then
local nextPosition = vec2.add(lastPosition, vec2.mul(vec2.norm(delta), self.projectileFrequency))
if world.pointTileCollision(nextPosition) then break end
self:spawnProjectile(nextPosition, pParams)
end
coroutine.yield()
end
-- ignite trail
if self.lastProjectileId and world.entityExists(self.lastProjectileId) then
world.callScriptedEntity(self.lastProjectileId, "ignite")
self.lastProjectileId = nil
animator.playSound("trailIgnite")
end
animator.stopAllSounds("trailLoop")
self.cooldownTimer = self.cooldown
end
function FuelAirTrail:reset()
animator.stopAllSounds("trailLoop")
end
function FuelAirTrail:uninit(unequipped)
self:reset()
end
function FuelAirTrail:firePosition()
return vec2.add(mcontroller.position(), activeItem.handPosition(self.weapon.muzzleOffset))
end
function FuelAirTrail:aimVector(inaccuracy)
local aimVector = vec2.rotate({1, 0}, self.weapon.aimAngle)
aimVector[1] = aimVector[1] * self.weapon.aimDirection
return aimVector
end
function FuelAirTrail:spawnProjectile(position, params)
params.chainProjectile = self.lastProjectileId
local projectileId = world.spawnProjectile(
self.projectileType,
position,
activeItem.ownerEntityId(),
self:aimVector(),
false,
params
)
if projectileId then
status.overConsumeResource("energy", self.energyUsage)
self.lastProjectileId = projectileId
end
return projectileId
end

Here is the full file, I'm not too lua savvy, but this is the same file for both the flamethrower alt ability and mine.

 

Code:

function init()
  self.chainProjectile = config.getParameter("chainProjectile")
  self.igniteAction = config.getParameter("igniteAction")
end

function update(dt)
  if self.chainTimer then
    self.chainTimer = math.max(0, self.chainTimer - dt)
    if self.chainTimer == 0 then
      if self.chainProjectile and world.entityExists(self.chainProjectile) then
        world.callScriptedEntity(self.chainProjectile, "ignite")
      end
      projectile.die()
    end
  end
end

function ignite()
  if projectile.timeToLive() < config.getParameter("cutoffTime") then return end

  if self.igniteAction then
    projectile.processAction(self.igniteAction)
  end
  self.chainTimer = config.getParameter("chainTime")
end

The projectiles lua and upon closer a look, it would appear my issue lies here, perhaps I need to find the config where the parameters are being set.

But where is that config?
