New Forage Items?

[Hydromancerx]

How do you make new Foragable items?

 

For instance if I wanted a Beetle to be revealed at Level 2 Foraging how would I do that?

[ORMtnMan]

In your main ProjectZomboid folder (found in your steamapps/common if you got it via steam. go to media/lus/client/TimedActions

 

Open up the ISScavengeAction.lua and look at the structure there. I would highly advise against overriding this, because any small change to it would mean you need to redo it in your mod. instead add a new lua that hooks onto this action. call it like HydroScavange.lua or something then hook it onto the main function. (so don't forget to import)

Take a look into ScavengeDefinition.lua, you can add stuff inside the tables directly via another lua file, way easier and safe

Yeah or you could do that which would operate like the distributions... >.> I knew that *ahem*

You got me curious so I looked into this file. As an avid forager, I must say that I have NEVER looted a cockroach, and that is coming from someone who has leveled all the way to 5. Are they bugged or disabled?

 

Also, please give us something new to find for those of us who did the horrific grind to 5

 

Edit: Now that I think about it, their probably conditionally based like worms (which are bugged, but they attempt to show up while its raining). I don't normally forage at night, so I'm gonna try that real quick.

 

Edit Edit: So, after several nighttime foraging runs (10pm~2am), I have still been unsuccessful at finding the elusive cockroach.

Thanks guys. Here is the code for anyone else curious.

Since this looks a bit different than the item distribution stuff how would one code that? Like this?

require "Farming/ScavengeDefinition";getTexture("Item_Beetle.png");local Beetle = {};Beetle.type = "Hydrocraft.Beetle";Beetle.minCount = 1;Beetle.maxCount = 2;Beetle.skill = 2;table.insert(scavenges.plants, Beetle);

Or am I missing something?

 

EDIT: OMG! It worked!! I can't believe I got the code to work!
