I'm back again :D with a new question :)

can you explain me the issue here?

 

<set xpath="/blocks/block[@name=terrDesertGround]/drop[@name=resourceClayLump]/@count">3,5</set>

 

Looks like the code dosen't accept digits with a comma between, but i though count="3,5" means i get a amount between 3 and 5

DesertGround doesn't have resourceClayLump yet. It has resourceCrushedSand.

 

This should add the new line:

<append xpath="/blocks/block[@name='terrDesertGround']">
    	<drop event="Fall" name="resourceClayLump" count="3,5" prob="0.5" stick_chance="0"/>

</append>

insertAfter with that xpath is adding it before the node:

 

<!-- CHALLENGES -->
<reward type="SkillPoints" value="1" />

<quest id="challenge_silenceofthelambs">
	<property name="name_key" value="challenge_silenceofthelambs" />
	<property name="subtitle_key" value="challenge_silenceofthelambs_subtitle" />

 

what you probably want to do is append it. So try updating your insertAfter's with append

This looks okay at a glance. Are you having an issue with it?

Does this work for you?

 

<remove xpath="/blocks/block[@name='cntBusSchool']/property[@class='Explosion']" />

 

I tried that one first cause it made sense to me too and it didn't but I will try again right now to see if I messed it up somehow

 

***EDIT:

 

So I just tried it again this way with no luck it still blows up. I even tried it this way too.

 

<remove xpath="/blocks/block[@name=cntBusSchool]" />

<property class="Explosion">

<property name="ParticleIndex" value="4"/> <!-- which prefab/particle is used -->

<property name="RadiusBlocks" value="5"/> <!-- damage radius for blocks -->

<property name="BlockDamage" value="500"/> <!-- damage for blocks in the center of the explosion -->

<property name="RadiusEntities" value="5"/> <!-- damage radius for entities -->

<property name="EntityDamage" value="70"/> <!-- damage for entities in the center of the explosion -->

</property>

</remove>

I copy and pasted the line I wrote, and it works as expected. Can you post your output_log.txt? Maybe there's another issue we aren't seeing.

You know what I had a complete brain fart dude...Lol. I tested the code using the 'cntBusSchool' block but when I got in game I tested it with the full car...Haven't been getting much sleep lately and it is showing. Thank you for your help...Lol. If I would have paid attention to what I was doing I would have had it on my very first try...duh

No worries; I'm just glad you got it sorted.

Ok, i actually just got it to work by adding /objective to the insert after. However now it is rewarding to many skill points, it gives 4. Even the starter quest is rewarding 4 even with a value of 10. I changed the value to .25 but it throws an error and you lose the quest. Is this reward a fixed value that I can't adjust?

in Game, can you type in exportcurrentconfigs and look at the quests.xml in your save game folder. Then you can see if it did what you expected.

Hmmm. First time modding and this doesn't work.

 

<set xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolChainsaw' and @name='meleeToolAuger']/property[@name='MagazineSize']/@value">5000</set>

 

this is what it shows on my F1 console. The guy in page 4 with the jar works fine. :/

Your path is wrong and as far as I know your use of "and" is incorrect. "and" would need to include both chainsaw and auger, "or" might work but I have never tried anything with it though I am just learning myself.

 

 

In any case this works on b238

<set xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolChainsaw']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='MagazineSize']/@value">5000</set>
<set xpath="/items/item[@name='meleeToolAuger']/effect_group/passive_effect[@name='MagazineSize']/@value">5000</set>
