It's an invisible animal that is also counted as enemy. You wouldn't see it in game as it's invisible, but it also wouldn't attack you despite being counted as enemy, because it's not supposed to be a real entity, it's just a dummy entity, a filler used even by vanilla game that makes sure there won't be too many entities spawned in the world, because game keeps spawning them constantly and higher amount of invisible / dummy entities helps to reduce the amount of real ones.

Telling me the game can not simply count the entities that are spawned - say 20 zombies, 10 animals counted alive - then STOP spawning.

Um, I didn't say that. Please take that information with a grain of salt. This is just my opinion based on my observations throughout my modding experience. General spawning is controlled through spawning.xml, but its functionality is pretty limited when it comes to controlling the amount of spawned entities, so from the modder's perspective, using these invisible animals is maybe not ideal, but at least it's useful, since we can't really work with the complex math inside xml, the actual math is done in the game code. I mean, maybe there is a way, but I don't think it's exposed to xml yet and maybe it never will be, so this is the best we can get, at least for now.

Telric Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Jay_ombie said: Whats a 'invisibleAnimalEnemy"' ? It's a method TFP use to lower animal spawns without extra actual code. What it does is spawn an entity that is invisible, which dies on spawn. So it still spawns an entity there, but it instantly dies and is invisible, so you dont see it. Without this line of code, you'd see way more animals than you do in game now. Very useful for lowering total amounts of a certain type of entity without requiring reworking the entire spawning system. Just spawn a dead one in that's invisible to take a place of an alive one. An invis entity spawns with "buffDummyEntitySuicide" which adds -1000 health on start.

Thanks, I guess this explains why my attempt at custom entity based on invisible animal failed to deliver what I expected lol, oh well we learn something new every day.

It'll be a separate download so those who want to just feed a horse can. Still early going, but chunking away at it.. The saddle problem stems from UseOther not operating correctly all the time. Mostly in servers.. It's a known issue that i think is fixed in a20.. Pretty sure i read that somewhere. As for the legs.... Maybe. I'm not the best at unity stuff, so maybe when one of the expert vehicle guys figure out a way and share it with me i can redo them. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telric Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Here's a sneaky peak at what i'm workin on.. This will be the new horse mod i release, but the old one will still be available for those who don't want the new stuff. Still a lot to do on it, but i'm workin on it atleast a little every day. Spoilers incoming! Spoiler Spoiler Video This is a fairly large POI that will have a few NPCs within. You're able to take new quests from them. This will completely redo the way you gain a horse. You'll do some specific quests to be able to have one yourself, and then you're able to upgrade the horse by completing the time trial in the video. Still lots to do, but its gettin there slowly.

Find the POI yourself! lol Yeah, but where's immersion? Ok, let's get our imagination on a little trip, ok? I want this place to be run by an NPC who's a friend of a different NPC who will tell me about that place and send me there to tell / do something for his friend who's the owner and possibly get a horse there while at it. Do I want so much? This would be possible if vanilla game allowed us to send the player to a specific POI! We already have a way to send them to a random POI, so why not a specific POI as well?

Giving errors? Or just not showing up? If errors, be sure everyone has the mod downloaded on the server. If its not showing up, make sure the mod is being loaded in the console on start up, then check your player to see if you have the telricshealthbarsplayer buff (using F3 and checking the PLY button on the top left. It will display your buffs on the top right.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put the zip file container as Telrics Health Bars 2.0A19 folder into the server's mod folder during startup I dont see any error messages but I dont see any textline about Telrics Health Bars either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drag the folder within the zip file into the Mods folder of the server / client. Take a screenshot of what you have so far. The mod works fine on a server, I have it running on my server just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP. If you ever want to try again later, i've taken a screenshot of the layout needed. Right click 7 days to die in your steam library, hit properties, then click the tab titled "Local Files". Click on Browse Game Files. This will open up the folder in the center of the screenshot. If you do not have a Mods folder, create one. Be sure to capitalize the M. Once that's done, open the Mods folder and drag the unzipped file from the download into the Mods folder. Boom, you're done.Mod Folder Layout Picture For the server, it's the exact same thing. Just depends on how your server provider gets to the files... The screenshot i took was through an FTP server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
