Example (41.52): ProceduralDistributions, Distributions, VehicleDistributions

[lordixi]

In 41.51 many mods are broken due new distribution system.

Here working distribution example for 41.52 for little mod "Siphoning Needs Hoses (build 41)".

File media\lua\server\Items\RubberHose_Distributions.lua

 

require "Items/Distributions"
require "Items/ProceduralDistributions"
require "Vehicles/VehicleDistributions"

local i, j, d

-- Distributions for ProceduralDistributions.lua
local myDistTable = {
  "CrateMechanics", 100, 
  "CrateTools", 100,
  "GarageTools", 100,  
  "StoreShelfMechanics", 100,
  "MechanicShelfTools", 100,
  "MechanicShelfMisc", 100,
  "GigamartTools", 100,
--"KitchenRandom", 100,
--"GarageMechanic", 100,  
}

for i = 1, #myDistTable, 2 do 
  table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[myDistTable[i]].items, "Base.RubberHose")
  table.insert(ProceduralDistributions.list[myDistTable[i]].items, myDistTable[i+1])
end

-- Distributions for Distributions.lua. May be broken in next updates due devs going to ProceduralDistributions
myDistTable = nil
myDistTable = {
  {"all",{
    "metal_shelves",100,
    "crate",100,
    "bin",100,
    }
  },
  {"armyhanger",{

    }
  },
  {"toolstore",{
    "shelves",100,

    }
  },
}

for i, d in ipairs(myDistTable) do
  print(d[1]);
  for j = 1, #d[2], 2 do
    table.insert(Distributions[1][d[1]][d[2][j]].items, "Base.RubberHose")
    table.insert(Distributions[1][d[1]][d[2][j]].items, d[2][j+1])
    print(d[1],d[2][j]);
  end   
end

myDistTable = nil
myDistTable = {
  "Bag_SurvivorBag",100,
  "Toolbox",100,
  "Bag_JanitorToolbox",100  
}
for i = 1, #myDistTable, 2 do
  table.insert(Distributions[1][myDistTable[i]].items, "Base.RubberHose")
  table.insert(Distributions[1][myDistTable[i]].items, myDistTable[i+1])
end

-- Distributions for VehicleDistributions.lua. May be broken in next updates due devs going to ProceduralDistributions
myDistTable = nil
myDistTable = {
  "GloveBox", 100,
  "TrunkStandard", 100,
  "TrunkHeavy", 100,
  "TrunkSports", 100,
  "SurvivalistTruckBed", 100,
  "FossoilTruckBed", 100,
}

for i = 1, #myDistTable, 2 do  
  table.insert(VehicleDistributions[myDistTable[i]].items, "Base.RubberHose")
  table.insert(VehicleDistributions[myDistTable[i]].items, myDistTable[i+1])
end

myDistTable = nil

Thank you! This helps me greatly, as I'm not that great of a programmer. I can get the idea of what the code does and how it works by looking at it, but writing it myself is not something I'm able to wrap my head around.

How do you regulate the probability of an item appearing (if there are several different items) in this example?

Number past container name is probability.

"metal_shelves",100,

 

I set 100 in example just for test, to see that item 100% appear.

 

Now in work code first table looks like:

local myDistTable = {
  "CrateMechanics", 10, 
  "CrateTools", 6,
  "CrateMetalwork", 6,
  "CrateFarming", 6,
  "GarageTools", 10,
  "GarageMetalwork", 10,
  "GarageMechanic", 10,    
  "StoreShelfMechanics", 10,
  "GardenStoreTools", 8,
  "MechanicShelfTools", 8,
  "MechanicShelfMisc", 8,
  "GigamartTools", 4,
  "GigamartFarming", 6,
}

Been a while since I looked at PZ, but I have a mod.

 

You're joking right? There is no backwards compatibilty for code like this below? 

I see there is a SuburbsDistributions.lua still in PZ41, so hopefully not. This would break TONS of mods if not. 

require 'Items/SuburbsDistributions'

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["fossoil"]["shelvesmag"].items, "Base.BedfordMap");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["fossoil"]["shelvesmag"].items, 0.2); 

table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["shelvesmag"].items, "Base.BedfordMap");
table.insert(SuburbsDistributions["all"]["shelvesmag"].items, 0.1);

@lordixiThis is just an example of how to add items to vanilla distribution procedures. Do you know how to properly register  a custom procedure?
