The Gunsmith's Weaponry

Alrighty, not a problem for me

 

Alright then, I'll see what I can do ^^

 

question is it possible to add explode on hit on projectiles ala grenade launcher because I was thinking of making a shuriken shotgun but the projectile has grenade like properties anyone who plays FU will know about the shuriken launcher shotgun
I think it needs primaryAbility : {projectiletype: throwingstar, projectilecount: 5, inaccuracy: 0.5?} being the main defining factors but I do not know how to make explode on hit argument

 

Unfortunatly I can't answer that one, because my knowledge is relatively basic
I guess it could be doable, although not with the exact same projectile

 

Umm, I am not trying to offend, but are you new to JSON modding?
These weapons are awesome, but the code seems rather simple...
Here is a weapon I made:
/spawnitem commonassaultrifle 1 '{"seed":200,"twoHanded":true,"primaryAbility":{"fireTime":1,"stances":{"fire":{"weaponRotation":0, "allowRotate":true, "weaponAngularVelocity":-2500}},"innacuracy":0,"projectileType":"electric","projectileCount":1,"projectileParameters":{"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]}},"altAbility":{"firetime":2,"projectileType":"electroball","projectileParameters":{"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion"},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":0,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechexplosion","angleAdjust":67.5,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":0},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":60},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":120},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":-60},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":-120},{"action":"projectile","type":"soluskatanaswoosh","angleAdjust":180},{"action":"projectile","type":"bonechain3","angleAdjust":22.5,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":45,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":90,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":135,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":180,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":-45,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"ngravityexplosion"},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":-90,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"purpleplasma","angleAdjust":-135,"actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"doomgrenadeexplosion","timeToLive":4}]},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":-135},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":-90},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":-45},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":0},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":45},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":90},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":135},{"action":"projectile","type":"mechchainsawswoosh","angleAdjust":180} ]}},"animatedParts" : {"stateTypes":{"firing" :{"default":"off","states":{"fire":{"default":"off","frames":2,"cycle":0.07,"mode":"transition","transition":"off"}}}}},"shortdescription":"The Gun","description":" ","toolTipKind":"base"}'

A good way to get better at modding params is to copy-paste complicated weapon code, see what makes it work, and then write your own based on what you know! That is exactly what great inventors and scientists do- see how the world works, and make something new based on that research! And I noticed you guys have the game assets unpacked, go you!
For posting on the forums it's a good idea to avoid : 3, : ) etc. because it'll turn into an emoji.

+===================================================================================================+

Also, for those of you who haven't unpacked the assets, copy the text from this attached file, save it as unpack.bat, put it next to
/Windows(C :/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Starbound/assets/packed.pak
and then just double click!
(NOTE: modifying this won't mod the game, you have to copy the assets and put them in the /mods folder in starbound's files.

+===================================================================================================+

Also, I'm taking requests for:
Armours (pretty much ANYTHING)
Weapons (same as above)

Thanks for reading this ENTIRE HUGE FIRST POST! Until next time!

For Algester:
add "actionOnHit":[{"action":"projectile","type":"mechexplosion"}]
tp projectileParameters to make an explosion.

 

xD
People are still coming back I see.. I kind of moved on from JSON coding

 

its possible to create medic gun?

 

If you're thinking about healing bullet I don't think so, but you can make a gun that fires healing gas, tho you need to be careful not to put a damage value

 

Can you speed up the plasma sword firerate or tell me how to?

 

after messing up with with some guns i finaly did create my own, but at the end its just a mix of 3 diffrent guns that i did find here. i hope somone will like it, and i hope that the forge of passionate gunsmiths its gona expanded more :

/spawnitem npcfloranassaultrifle 1 '{"shortdescription":"Orzech","level":10,"seed"0,"animationCustom":{"sounds":{"fire":["/sfx/gun/sniper1.ogg"]}},"primaryAbility":{"projectileType":"seed","baseDps":100,"projectileCount":13,"inaccuracy":0.13,"projectileParameters":{"speed":100,"power":1000,"knockback":10}},"altAbilityType":"homingrocket","altAbility":{"projectileType":"glowstatusprojectile","baseDps":0,"projectileCount","cooldownTime":0,"energyUsage":45,"inaccuracy":0.1,"boostForce" : 0,"projectileParameters":{"speed":40}},"tooltipKind":"base"}'

 

Hello!, I was wondering if I could ask for a little bit of help completing something.
I've been scouring several forums and Steam's mod list and come up dry.
I'm trying to make a one-hand weapon with no sprite that fires the "plasmaball" projectile for a very short distance.
My thought process is that it would be a 'pistol' type weapon with a projectile speed of less than 10 so it would hang out in front of the player for a second.
I've got about 90% of it figured out, but I can't figure out how to make it invisible so it just looks like the projectile is coming from the avatar's hand.
I'm trying to make a sorcerer build and thought that it would be a really cool melee alternative.

Here are a few mockups for reference.
(I'm not married to any specific assets or values here, they are mostly just placeholders.)

/spawnitem ironrevolver 1 '{"shortdescription":"Magic Hand","level":10,"primaryAbility":{"projectileType":"plasmaball","baseDps":15,"inaccuracy":0,"energyUsage":15,"projectileParameters":{"speed":1,"power":15.5,"knockback":10}},"rarity":"legendary"}'

/spawnitem ironrevolver 1 '{"shortdescription":"Magic Hand","level":10,"primaryAbility":{"projectileType":"energyfist","baseDps":25,"inaccuracy":0,"energyUsage"0,"projectileParameters":{"speed":1,"power":15.5,"knockback":50}},"rarity":"legendary"}'
