Hey folks. trying add a new furniture item similar to the toilet, a water dispenser.
Unfortunately everything I’ve tried so far seems to fail horribly.
Getting a furn\_set error, any ideas? Does the furniture item itself need to be in the furniture.json?

CODE or GTFO. 😉
No idea how to add new furniture, but showing us what you tried so far in code should help. (Or, better, make a branch on github and link towards that).

Think I need to add the cooler furniture item to the furniture.json? Not a clue.

Yeah, probably. (Never made furniture, but in general registering your Stuff in its file tends to help.)

It looks like you’re using f\_cooler to define the furniture item, but that’s not been defined in mapdata or the furnlist - I believe that adding it to the JSON should auto-include it in the furnlist, but you may also need to update the big list in mapdata.
edit - typed f\_toilet instead of f\_cooler

Use “f\_cooler” instead of f\_cooler.
f\_cooler is a variable that gets set when the furniture is loaded from json. “f\_cooler” works the same, it is transformed into the proper furniture id when it’s actually used.
