[DMT Modding Tool]

Solved: Harmony doesn't seem able to patch static methods.

Besides, my requirement meant checking the instance type, which isn't possible in a static method.

 

I solved this by patching a different, non-static method to achieve what I wanted to do

 

---

 

Is there something special I need to do to patch static methods?

 

Take this example

 

 

 

class Tim_Test {
   public class Tim_Test_Init : IHarmony {
       public void Start () {
           Debug.Log (" Loading Patch: " + this.GetType ().ToString ());
           var harmony = HarmonyInstance.Create (GetType ().ToString ());
           harmony.PatchAll (Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly ());
       }
   }

   [HarmonyPatch (typeof (BlockPoweredDoor))]
   [HarmonyPatch ("Init")]
   public class Tim_BlockPoweredDoor_Init {
       public static bool Prefix (BlockPoweredDoor __instance) {
           Debug.Log ("Type: " + __instance.GetType ().Name);
           return true;
       }
   }

   [HarmonyPatch (typeof (BlockPoweredDoor))]
   [HarmonyPatch ("IsDoorOpen")]
   public class Tim_BlockPoweredDoor_IsDoorOpen {
       public static bool Prefix (BlockPoweredDoor __instance) {
           Debug.Log ("Type: " + __instance.GetType ().Name);
           return true;
       }
   }
}

 

In this case, the patch for "Init" works, as the log can be seen in the console, however the patch for "IsDoorOpen", does not, as under no circumstance does a log appear in the console (placing, turning on power, etc).

 

The only difference between the two methods is vanilla "Init" is:

public override void Init()

whereas vanilla "IsDoorOpen" is:

public static bool IsDoorOpen(byte _metadata)

 

 

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
