Item distributions help.

[kongkim]

Hi im new to PZ and the modding

 

Are still trying to learn how it all works and have a hard time with some of it. 

 

Right now im trying to make a test mod and is working with the .lua distributions file to get the test item out in the world.

 

It looks like this: 2 .lua files in the folder (Zomboid\mods\testitem\media\lua\server\items)

 

spawntestitem.lua

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, "custom.testitem");

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventorymale"].items, 1);

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, "custom.testitem");

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 2);

 

loadtestitem.lua

Icon = {};

 

function Icon.loadTexture()

getTexture("Item_spiffothefighter.png");

end

 

Events.OnGameBoot.Add(Icon.loadTexture);

 

1: is the code right? And can i add all the code to one lua file?

2: Is the folder destination right?

3: How do i control drop chance?

 

Hope someone can help Is really looking forward to build 33

Ok got most of it to work

 

But if i make it all as one file nothing spawn.

 

Also the 2 in here is the spawn rate right?

 table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["inventoryfemale"].items, 2);

 

But it is 2% or 20%?  so if i what a spawn % of 100% and one of 5% then type what?

it is 2%.. 0.5 would be .5%. at least that's how it seems to work for me .
