I just decided to make a mod today because i didnt want to have to get back to tier 3 in order to use a drill again after the last wipe so i decided to make a drill that could be crafted early on. I already made a custom texture and have done all the proper coding for the drill to be crafted in game and function but when i try to add a glow effect to the drill it no longer works in game. i have been trying to use the glow effect from the lantern on a stick but to no effect, the drill just turns into a perfectly generic item. { "itemName" : "wreckerofra", "inventoryIcon" : "wreckerofraicon.png", "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0], "maxStack" : 1, "rarity" : "legendary", "inspectionKind" : "tool", "description" : "A drill imbued with the power of the Egyptian god Ra.", "shortdescription" : "Wrecker of Ra", "largeImage" : "wreckerofrabig.png", "image" : "wreckerofra.png:{frame}", "frames" : 5, "animationCycle" : 0.1, "handPosition" : [-8, 1], "pointable" : true, "swingStart" : 0, "swingFinish" : 0, "fireTime" : 0.3, "blockRadius" : 3, "altBlockRadius" : 1, "twoHanded" : true, "idleSound" : "/sfx/tools/chainsaw_idle.wav", "strikeSound" : "/sfx/tools/drill_hit.wav", "durability" : 6000, "durabilityPerUse" : 1, "durabilityRegenChart" : [ [ [ "copperore" ], 750], [ [ "silverore" ], 1125], [ [ "goldore" ], 1500], [ [ "platinumore" ], 1875], [ [ "diamond" ], 2250] ], "tileDamage" : 3.9, "tileDamageBlunted" : 0.5 } i would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with where to put the code from the lantern on a stick or the glow stim or an explanation on how to add the desired effect. formatting etc
Add: "statusEffects" : [ { "kind" : "glow", "amount" : 1, "color" : [89, 83, 71] } ], Somewhere. I think that'll work.
i came to the same conclusion as heliostorm. i tried the way you posted zanarias but it wouldnt work anywhere i put it
that status effect causes enemies to glow when hit, and tools can't hit enemies to begin with. you could try: "lightColor" : [78, 202, 223], that works for projectiles giving them an innate light. not sure if it will work here but it's worth a shot.
