Modding Help Repeating Events

I am asking for one little thing right now on a mod I am working on. I want certain events to repeat on their own on certain days. I am still figuring things out and a bit of help would push forward my project much quicker.
As an example, I made an event that Robin will visit you every week. I want to not have to make a new event for each week.

 

Are you making a SMAPI mod? If not, I don't know if its possible.
If it is, you will need to remove your event id from the list of events seen by the player at the end of everyday, so it can happen again next week.
Or you can dynamically add the same event with a new id when you want it to happen.

 

ok... well then how best do I remove the event id? I been reading but not all of it is apparent to me

 

I don't have the de-compiled game code right now. I can look for you later tonight.
I would start looking into Game1.player

 

i don't even have decompiled game code.. i am quite the novice.

 

The list is really there: Game1.player.eventsSeen
It's a int list, just call remove at the end of begin of the day and it should work.

 

Sooo. I got to figure that out lol. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

 

After get your SMAPI mod working(there is guides for that), just add this line to the entry method:

Code:

TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted += (s,e) => Game1.player.eventsSeen.Remove(999999)

Replace 999999 with you event ID.

 

I see.. i am not using SMAPI, I am just adding/editing yamls

 

I guessed that, but I don't see how you can do it without using SMAPI. You would have to add an event for each week of each year you would like your mod to support. And you can't even choose the year for the event, just a minimal. So if someone installed your mod on year four, it would show the event 4 times if the player kept entering and existing the location.

 

not even sure where to begin on that. I kinda stumbled on how to do this.

I am open to making the adjustment. I just got to figure out how to change it from my current setup to the new one. I have everything saved in a separate place to edit and update as I please. Making the events and dialogue is super easy. I just need to figure out how to put SMAPI into it.

 

You could use SMAPI to edit events and dialog, but it's more complicated and you don't need to. You can keep your current setup, and people using your mod would have to install like they do know, and also install your SMAPI module.
If you have no coding experience at all it will more difficult, but you can still follow this guide:

Then just replace

Code:

InputEvents.ButtonPressed += this.InputEvents_ButtonPressed;

with the code I posted before.
