Possible to make character change ingame?

[BeastlyBean]

I am thinking of making a little shaving mod using the beard, and the razors ingame.

 

But...

 

Is it possible to have a certain timer to apply a beard layer to a player, and remove it when using the razor?

Not sure, but you could look for the appropriate functions here:

A strong candidate would be setHeadSprite(IsoSprite ...), but I have no clue how you could actually create an IsoSprite.

Maybe TurboTutone knows more about the sprites. I'll point him to this.

setTopSprite

public void setTopSprite(IsoSprite topSprite)

  Parameters: topSprite - the topSprite to set

 

getBottomsSprite

public IsoSprite getBottomsSprite()

  Returns: the bottomsSprite

 

getExtraSprites

public java.util.ArrayList<IsoSprite> getExtraSprites()

getHairSprite

public IsoSprite getHairSprite()

setHairSprite

public void setHairSprite(IsoSprite hairSprite)

  Parameters: bottomsSprite - the bottomsSprite to set

 

setBottomsSprite

public void setBottomsSprite(IsoSprite bottomsSprite)

somewhere there I guess?

 

also, does this even work with the upcoming 3d models?

hey there, robo had sent me the link, however i have not looked at character sprites at all, so i have no idea how they are handled internally.

Also, i dont think youll need new sprites or manipulate the sprites themselves, but just unset/change the hair/beard.

 

Im thinking, perhaps you can find what you need in media/lua/OptionScreens/CharacterCreationMain.lua?

Looking into it right now ...

That's one awesome idea. Beard growing over time and being able to shave it with a razor. Wow!
