The /spawnitem command don't seem to work.
#1
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] Apr 19, 2020 @ 8:28am 
Like this?: /spawnitem hopliteblshield 1 '{"level":6}'
(I think i forgot to add the number)

Yeah, it was the missing the number. Works now, thanks.

You're welcome

wonders if there is a unique ice shield not the antagonist
#5
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] May 12, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
There is in the "Borderlands The Pre Sequel", the avalanche.
Also, "The Antagonist" is no longer ice, it is now slag.

but not in starbound

or is it ?
#7
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] May 12, 2020 @ 4:33pm 
I could make it.
#8
CrimsonWolf May 19, 2020 @ 8:38pm 
how you spawn in Random Shields or have to get it with out spawning it in?
#9
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] May 19, 2020 @ 9:20pm 
/spawnitem [common/uncommon/rare/legendary]blshield 1 '{"level":6}'
Or you could find them in chests and sometimes enemies.

Is there any way to specify the parts/type on a shield when spawning it? I know it can be done with vanilla weapons, and I assume this game uses the same spawning system, but I have no idea what the part names are or what order they would be in.
#11
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] May 21, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
You can, the parts/type are the names of the manufacturers: "accesory" : "maliwan", and so for the capacitor, battery and body.
But i don't know why, I've been able to use the parameters only in lua, not in-game commands.

The format should be:

/spawnitem [shieldname]blshield 1 '{"level":6, "animationPartVariants": {"capacitor" : "maliwan" } }'

See if you have any luck.
#12
Cano_Lathra May 21, 2020 @ 5:10pm 
Will do. I've only gotten it to work a couple of times with vanilla weapons, but maybe I'll be lucky with this.
Now I just have to pull up those age-old Reddit posts on which manufacturers do what. I am assuming you made sure each manufacturer had the same stats.
Also, how are Nova body, Spike body, and Maliwan capacitor elements determined in the item generation, and what names do they have? Is it the standard "elementalType": "fire/electric/ice/poison" like vanilla weapons? And if I don't specify an element, but do specify a Nova, Spike, or Maliwan capacitor, will the code randomly assign an element, or will it break?
#13
FelmastProMcLane  [developer] May 21, 2020 @ 5:19pm 
Yes, the values are the same as in BL2, but their grade calculation it's different, to balance it with starbound.
I used these:
https://apple1417.github.io/bl2/shields/
https://apple1417.github.io/bl2/shields/materials/
https://apple1417.github.io/bl2/shields/calculations/
But the format is inconsistent (negative numbers are either green or red), so I made all red negative and all green positve.

Currently the shield type is randomly selected between the types the manufacturer has, determined by seed.
Also applies to element chosen and elemental resistance.
Currently only physical, explosive, poison, ice, fire, electric are implemented for novas/spike. But only Fire/Poison/Electric are enabled for generation.

Ok. I got the spawnitem parts code to work (just had to remove all of the spaces). TY for the help
