How To Add To Mod

  • copy the contents of the scriptcommands_UI_info override file
  • create a new file in your mods scripts directory named scriptcommands_UI_info.lua
  • paste the contents of override file and click save.
  • reload your server and your ready to go.

Advanced Options

  • if you are looking for the code for clipping its at the bottom of the override file posted
  • there is an example for recognizing simple_mob_spawners and formatting special data elements
  • could move all the functions to a user interface window that displays a group table populated with these objects and do 1 giant group clip

Example Output of the Seed Clip

when you click SeedClip from the info button on any object you get the following XML output on the clip board for pasting into your seedobjects.xml file

<DynamicObject>		
    <ObjectCreationParams>tent_goblin 747.59057617188 0 1742.8210449219 0 130.90209960938 0 0.80000001192093 0.80000001192093 0.80000001192093</ObjectCreationParams>
</DynamicObject>

when you use the SeedClip button on a simple_mob_spawner you get the following XML output on the clipboard for pasting into your seedobjects.xml file. It also applies the needed elements for controlling the spawn template, delay, amount to spawn, radius all set at defaults.

<DynamicObject>
    <ObjectCreationParams>simple_mob_spawner 643.80731201172 0 1682.2386474609 0 0 0 1 1 1</ObjectCreationParams>
    <ObjVarOverrides>
        <StringVariable Name="spawnTemplate">template</StringVariable>
        <DoubleVariable Name="spawnDelay">300</DoubleVariable>
        <DoubleVariable Name="spawnCount">1</DoubleVariable>
        <DoubleVariable Name="spawnRadius">0</DoubleVariable>
    </ObjVarOverrides>		
</DynamicObject>

scriptcommands_UI_info.lua override file

require 'default:scriptcommands_UI_info'

-----------------------------------------------------------------
-- MOD FOR QUICK EDITING OF DYNAMIC OBJECTS IN THE GAME
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-- This mod adds a button to the /info UI called Seed Clip
-- when you click this button it will gather all the data needed
-- the object and format it into a dynamic object element located
-- in your seedobjects.xml file.
--
-- when used on any object the output will be
--		<DynamicObject>
--			<ObjectCreationParams>objects_template 2.0750000476837 0 13.704000473022 0 0 0 1 1 1</ObjectCreationParams>
--		</DynamicObject>
-- as it gathers all the rotations scales location information from the
-- in game object then this output gets clipped to your clipboard
-- simply open up your seedobjects.xml file and find your group
-- to simply CTRL+V (paste), this saves a bunch of time editing and adding
-- new content to your in game maps.
--
-- i added another feature that shows you how to add checks for special objects
-- i chose the simple_mob_spawner as the example.
-- in game /create simple_mob_spawner where you want your spawn to be
-- use the /info command on that spawner and click SeedClip
-- when you paste the information from the clipboard into your
-- seedobojects.xml file the output will be
--		<DynamicObject>
--			<ObjectCreationParams>simple_mob_spawner 3.3341825008392 0 20.994180679321 0 0 0 1 1 1</ObjectCreationParams>
--			<ObjectOverrides>
--				<StringVariable Name="spawnTemplate">template</StringVariable>
--				<DoubleVariable Name="spawnDelay">300</DoubleVariable>
--				<DoubleVariable Name="spawnCount">1</DoubleVariable>
--				<DoubleVariable Name="spawnRadius">0</DoubleVariable>
--			</ObjectOverrides>
--		</DynamicObject>
-- i used default settings so you simple just replace the template with your
-- template you want to spawn. Click save and off you go, easy peasy.

-- NOTES
-- This mod does not alter in any way how this menu works otherwise
-- if you need to take the parts I added look for CUSTOM in this file
