Detecting weather and clothing

[Ralzar]

So I'm attempting to make a temperature mod. I've got most of it working, but I got really stuck on trying to find some way to have the mod give buffs/debuffs based on weather. Because I can't seem to figure out how weather works.

Anyone have any pointers about how to do this? I am assuming that there is something I could use here for either a bool or a switch function?


The other thing is clothing. I haven't started looking at this yet, but I'm betting I'll run into the same problem there. How can I detect if a character is wearing a cloak in one or both cloak "slots" on the paperdoll?

The WeatherManager class has these properties:

Code: Select all

        public bool IsRaining { get; private set; }

        public bool IsStorming { get; private set; }

        public bool IsSnowing { get; private set; }

        public bool IsOvercast { get; private set; }

Looking at some of the code, you should be able to get these values by calling:

Code: Select all

[s]bool isRaining = DaggerfallWorkshop.Game.GameManager.Instance.WeatherManager.IsRaining;[/s]

or you could read it directly without assigning it to a variable. The GameManager seems to be a global object so you should have access to that already.

That is pretty much what I expected to be able to do, but I get this back from VS and Unity:

"Type `DaggerfallWorkshop.Game.WeatherManager' does not contain a definition for `isRaining' and no extension method `isRaining' of type `DaggerfallWorkshop.Game.WeatherManager' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?"

Edit: Oh what the hell? I think I suddenly got it to work. Have to test a bit more.

Yep, it works now. No idea what made the difference as I literally copy-pasted from your post and got that error. Then when I started removing "isRaining" I suddenly got all the weather properties as suggestions. After that it just worked

Yeah, I made a mistake in my example. I put 'isRaining' instead of 'IsRaining'. Derp

You copy pasted a lower case i instead of upper I.

Bert must be a trickster, lol.

Figured out the cloak detection after a lot of trial and error

Code: Select all

var cloak1 = GameManager.Instance.PlayerEntity.ItemEquipTable.GetItem(EquipSlots.Cloak1);
var cloak2 = GameManager.Instance.PlayerEntity.ItemEquipTable.GetItem(EquipSlots.Cloak2);
if (cloak1 != null || cloak2 != null)
{}
