Getting started - CanPickup to block

[John Black]

Hi

Years ago I used to generate wrappers to mod 7d2d xmls. It allowed me to create recipes and blocks and re-apply changes after game updates. I'm now trying to accomplish the same as below by using modlets but am already running into issues.

Spoiler

public static void CreateRecipeAndAllowPickup()
{
/* donotuse */
var doNotUseSign = new RecipeWrapper(Item.doNotUse, false);
doNotUseSign.ClearComponents();
doNotUseSign.AddDistributed(Item.plantChrysanthemum, 1, Item.leather, 3, Item.leather, 3, Item.leather, 3);
doNotUseSign.Count = 9;
doNotUseSign.CraftTime = 9;
doNotUseSign.Clone("doNotUse"); // clone + remove to get in same place in xml
doNotUseSign.Remove();

var doNotUseSignBlock = new BlockWrapper(Block.doNotUse);
doNotUseSignBlock.CanPickup = true;
}

I started out with the stop sign, trying to allow player to pick it up but ... yeah, can't even get that to work.

The modlet seems to load just fine so I guess the culprit is my blocks.xml. Is there any way, in-game, to look at the current attributes of items?

...\7 Days To Die\Mods\TJL\Config\blocks.xml

<configs>
	<setattribute xpath="/blocks/block[@name='signRoadStop']" name="CanPickup">true</setattribute>
</configs>

Looking at that block, it doesn't have that property, so it would need to be an append, not setattribute. Something like:

<append xpath="/blocks/block[@name='signRoadStop']">
<property name="CanPickup" value="true"/>
</append>




And also, this should probably go into the Discussion and Requests forum. This one is mostly used for released mods.

Thank you, was messing with this between other work and never picked up it was node rather than an attribute.

Anyway, all sorted so a mod can move/delete if they want.
