Tutorial MOD-TUTORIAL 3: How to make your own Gun (OUTDATED)

How do you add status effects to the projectiles? Specifically the nude-status effect. I tried simply adding

Code:

"statusEffects" : [
    {
      "kind" : "glow",
      "amount" : 100.0,
      "color" : "orange",
      "duration" : 5.0
    },
    { "kind" : "nude"
  "duration" :  15.0 }
  ]

but it crashes the game. Any help?

Also without the duration it does not apply the nude debuff.

 

hmm i'm not 100% shure if all status effects are compatible with projectiles... and look into the starbound.log does it say anything about that? (if you leave the duration away..)

 

i am trying to remove the energy cost, but no sucess, any tips?

 

You could probably use classMultiplier to make the energy cost obscenely low. Try "classMultiplier" : 0.01 or something.

 

is there any difference in how you have to write the mod in the new version Furious Koala?

 

you don't have to pack it into pak files and dont forget to change the version...

 

hey I was messing around with my mod but for some reason the damage on a few of my weapons are doing double the damage
like 0.5 is 1 and 1 is 2 any reason my mod is doing this

Code:

{
    "itemName": "FireBirdTier0",
    "inventoryIcon": "FireBird.png",
    "shortdescription": "Project Firebird",
    "description": "A Lazer Pistol!",
    "dropCollision": [
        -8,
        -3,
        8,
        3
    ],
    "maxStack": 1,
    "level": 1,
    "rarity": "Legendary",
    "classMultiplier": 1.0,
    "image": "FireBird.png",
    "recoilTime": 3.0,
    "accuracy" : 100,
    "handPosition": [
        -5,
        -1
    ],
    "firePosition": [
        12,
        3
    ],
    "baseDps": [
        6,
        6.5
    ],
    "hands": [
        1,
        1
    ],
    "fireTime": 0.8,
    "twoHanded": true,
    "projectileType": "LazersLevel0",
    "projectile": {
        "power": 1,
        "color": [
            1,
            0,
            0
        ]
    },
    "muzzleEffect": {
        "animation": "/animations/phoenixgunmuzzle/plasmamuzzle.animation",
        "fireSound": [
            {
                "file": "/sfx/gun/plasma_ar2.wav"
            }
        ]
    }
}

 

hmm try leaving the level complete blank and does the .projectile a damage effect?

 

I completely removed the level line on the .gun file but I can show you the .projectile file

Code:

{
  "projectileName" : "LazersLevel0",
  "physics" : "laser",
  "bounces" : 0,
  "level" : 3,
  "damageKindImage" : "icon.png",
  "frames" : "LazersLevel0.png",
  "animationCycle" : 1,
  "speed" : 100,
  "frameNumber" : 1,
  "power" : 25,
  "supportsProcessing" : true,
  "actionOnReap" : [
    {
      "action" : "config",
      "file" : "/projectiles/explosions/plasmabulletexplosion/plasmabulletexplosion.config"
    }
  ],
  "lightColor" : [73, 10, 0],
  "damageKind" : "plasma",
  "offset" : [12, 0]
}

 

weird it does twice damage? i can't find a mistake in your code

 

it only does twice on 0.5 and 1 power, but 2 or more it only does 1 more so like....
if I set it to 2 it would do 3 and if I set it to 3 it would do 4 and so on.
I also tried clearing the assets folder and reinstalling but that didn't work.
it must be something with my mod.

Edit: is there a damage file I could of edited on accident or something?

 

bump I still need help as I have tried everything to fix it.

 

hey ghoul I just tested the sample mod that you have. it doesn't work. you might want to go through it and fix your mod to understand what every ones problem actually is.

 

hey the only problem i have is that the png files are sorted by ''butt'' '''middle'' and ''barrel'' so i cant choose one png, what do i do to fix this?

 

I notice if you make your gun, and give it to your player, and save.... edit the gun's script to tweak it, and play again... it doesn't change. It seems "cached" inside your save file, so I have to use a save editor to delete it and give a blank copy. Any way to fix this?

 

Is there anyway to create a gun file that have its own "ProjectileType", "StatusEffect" in 1 JSON file of that gun? Can you guys help me with it?

 

Can someone make a youtube video on doing this on a mac im going to kil someone its SOO HARlickitung:

 

could you make a tutorial on how to make a vehicle?

 

doesnt know program :I

 

Hay great tutorial but I've noticed in guns that when you modding guns not making one but modding one. There's no "energyCostPerDamageShot" thing. How would i mod my gun so it costs less energy?
