Right now I don't care about custom LUA files. All I want to do is rename Flip Slash, so it fits my weapon, but I keep getting this; Code: [C]: in ? [C]: in field 'assetJson' [string "/items/buildscripts/abilities.lua"]:27: in global 'addAbility' [string "/items/buildscripts/abilities.lua"]:59: in global 'setupAbility' [string "/items/buildscripts/buildunrandweapon.lua"]:22: in function <[string "/items/buildscripts/buildunrandweapon.lua"]:6> This is my .weaponability Code: { "animationParts" : { }, "animationCustom" : { "animatedParts" : { "stateTypes" : { "swoosh" : { "states" : { "flip" : {} } } }, "parts" : { "swoosh" : { "partStates" : { "swoosh" : { "flip" : { "properties" : { "image" : "/items/active/weapons/melee/abilities/broadsword/flipslash/<elementalType>swoosh.png", "offset" : [2.25, 2.75], "damageArea" : [[-6.0, -3.5], [-6.0, 0], [-3.5, 2.5], [0, 2.5], [2.5, 0], [2.5, -3.5], [0, -6.0], [-3.5, -6.0]] } } } } } } }, "particleEmitters" : { "flip" : { "active" : false, "transformationGroups" : ["weapon"], "offsetRegion" : [-4, -4, 5, 5], "emissionRate" : 70, "particles" : [ { "particle" : "exodus1"}, { "particle" : "exodus2"} ] } }, "sounds" : { "flipSlash" : [ "/sfx/melee/laser_flip_slash.ogg" ] } }, "ability" : { "name" : "Exo Slash", "type" : "exodus", "scripts" : ["/items/active/weapons/melee/abilities/broadsword/flipslash/flipslash.lua"], "class" : "FlipSlash", "cooldownTime" : 0.5, "damageConfig" : { "damageSourceKind" : "broadsword", "statusEffects" : [ ], "baseDamage" : 6, "knockback" : [0, -35], "timeout" : 0.2, "timeoutGroup" : "alt" }, "flipMovementParameters" : { "collisionPoly" : [ [-2.0, -1.0], [-1.0, -2.0], [1.0, -2.0], [2.0, -1.0], [2.0, 1.0], [1.0, 2.0], [-1.0, 2.0], [-2.0, 1.0] ] }, "energyUsage" : 60.0, "rotations" : 3, "rotationTime" : 0.2, "jumpVelocity" : [35, 20], "jumpDuration" : 0.2, "stances" : { "windup" : { "duration" : 0.2, "armRotation" : 30, "weaponRotation" : 0, "twoHanded" : true, "allowRotate" : false, "allowFlip" : true }, "flip" : { "armRotation" : 0, "weaponRotation" : 0, "twoHanded" : true, "allowRotate" : false, "allowFlip" : false } } } } Anybody know what's wrong? Thx in advance. Oh, and I have a weaponabilities.config.patch, so it can't be that.
Did you rename the "type" field to "exodus"? That might be your problem. I'm not sure, but I think weapons may only accept a specified set of "type" values.
You renamed type, in the weapon, does the alt ability say "exodus" instead of "flipslash" (or something like that)?
I'm having the exact same problem. Only my weapon has multiple frames, and they all appear at once, as the entire image.
Hmm... I have a deal for you... if you upload your weapon and ability (with the corresponding Lua), I'll take a look at it and fix it. Cuz I'm a nice guy, and I kinda can't do much without more information.
I suspect that your issue is different. I would make sure that you have all the proper .frames and .animation files defined for your object.
I'm just using flipslash.lua as my script. But, sure here; http://www.mediafire.com/file/4vzu5duak06axcj/TestMod.rar I'm quite new to modding Starbound, so I've most likely missed something critical.
Yeah, I copypaste a lot. A lot of us probably do that. I recently modded in a gun that fires blue linerifle bolts, so I'm feeling pretty confident.
Well if you mod, you copy and paste, it's common sense to do less work by taking something that ALMOST works and changing it just a little to make it do what you want it to. I've done that with everything I've made, then made some serious changes. I'm going to take a hard look today, I got home late then spent the rest of the night watching a movie and I didn't want to be distracted by my laptop.
Oh my god, the solution was so easy. So in your abilities folder, after a very brief test, I saw that your folder for "broadsword" abilities was named "broadword", you're missing an "s" in your folder name and that's literally it.
