So, wanted to churn out a quick mod. Want to spawn some gasoline. Putting gasoline into an itemgroup is fine, but when the gas spawns it’s in a jerrycan with 10000 portions. This doesn’t really jive with the mod, because it’s intended to be fuel for chainsaws and I’d prefer it to be partially used.
Right, so, I want to spawn the gasoline in a smaller container (like a gallon jug), or adjust the volume of gasoline inside the jerrycan. Does anyone know how I can do this? I genuinely have no idea.
I’m not opposed to creating my own 1 gallon gas can but I’m not sure how to spawn it as having gas inside of it.
This allows me to alter the container, but does not allow me to change the capacity manually. In other words, using a gallon jug does spawn less gasoline than the jerrycan, but both containers spawn at 100% capacity.
I’ll leave the thread in case someone is looking for this in the future.
I am no coder, but when I need do add or adjust things like that, I always look for similar patches of code somewhere else and then just reverse engineer it to get the idea how to write the things I need.
So, you do sometimes find fuel in jerrycans ingame, and they’re not full. There has to be some code responsible for that.
That’s just a quick suggestion.
(For instance, I remember finding plastic jerrycans of diesel inside the tanks from The Tank Mod. I suggest you try searching there)
Yeah, that’s basically how I do most things, trying to find an instance somewhere else. The problem is that I’m just not that familiar with the layout of the Cataclysm stuff. Not yet, anyway.
I couldn’t find any instance of anything in game that used partially filled fluid containers, but I’ll have another look. Thanks for the input.
