About this mod
A bunch of functions and shortcuts I made for my mods
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
A library of functions that I found myself using often. I made it for myself, but feel free to use/cannibalize it for yourself.
My main uses in it are:
Im not claiming these are necessary or even well written, Ive been learning lua for the sole purpose of modding morrowind, and have 0 programming experience before hand, I started lua about a month ago and just so happens I found making helper functions one of the funnest parts.
So definitely use with caution
My main uses in it are:
local bs = require("BeefStranger.functions")
bs.timer{dur = 1, iter = 3, cb = function() end}
local function onEffectTick(e)
local function doThis()
this thing
end
bs.onTick(e, doThis) ---For onTick Magic effects
end
local targetRef = bs.rayCast(900) ---Returns the reference of a rayTest, 900 is the distance
bs.typeCheck(targetRef, "npc") ---Used to check if an objectType matches what youre looking for
if bs.typeCheck(target, "npc") then
bs.msg("Target is NPC")
end
bs.inspect(tableToInspect) --Logs a table to the console
local log = bs.getLog("logName") ---Gets or creates a log, returns a table of other functions too.
local dbg = log.debug
local trace = log.trace
log.setLogLevel("DEBUG")
--Also has if need what would normally be the log you create. ie local log = logger.new{...}
log.log
=====Helper functions======
bs.sf() ---Short for string.format
bs.addSpell(tes3.player, "light") ---Shorthand for addSpell
bs.sellSpell("fargoth", "light") ---Gives the spell to the target, and makes them sell spells
bs.keyUp("b", function()
bs.msg("B pressed")
end)
bs.msg("Message #%s", number) --Shorthand for tes3.messageBox
=====Sounds=========
bs.playSound("bell6", volume, pitch, ref) -- BeefLibrary contains a table of all vanilla sounds so you can also do
bs.playSound(bs.sound.bell6) --- I find this very useful because it suggests valid sounds
bs.sound.register() ---Registers a few custom sounds I got from freesound.org
the custom sounds are under bs.bsSound / bs.bsSound.magicImpact for instance
==============EffectMaker================
This is very similar to MagickaExpanded just with a bunch of tweaks I wanted,
Has a lot of auto values for quick setup, Heres a valid effect creation.
event.register("magicEffectsResolved", function()
bs.effect.create({
id = "TestID",
name = "Test Name",
school = tes3.magicSchool.alteration,
onTick = testTick
})
end)
this will auto assign an icon/sound/vfx based on what ever school the effect is.
========spellMaker=============
bs.spell.create({
id = "testSpell",
name = Test Test",
effect = tes3.effect.TestID,
min = 10,
max = 10,
duration = 3,
range = tes3.effectRange["target"],
alwaysSucceeds = true,
})
end
Theres also the beginnings of a set of MCM config helper functions, but i just started it and it looks like theres updates to MCM going on right now
