I have no clue...

So, foolishly thought if I want somethings in my game I would have to mod them myself. Easy right.

Was thinking of making a secure storage chest that would shock player if they hit it...similar to the vending machines.

So I copied the recipe for secure chest and changed name and ingredients (they are just for testing right now, would change them later if it worked)

Then I copied the block for the secure chest and added <property name="Buff" value="shockedBuff"/>

Thought that would be it as it was all I saw in vending machine code.

In game I can make the chest ok but when I hit it nothing happens.

Below is my sad first attempt at a mod. have a look and tell me what idiotic mistake I have made or if the whole thing was a total clusterf......

The shock buff when hit is controlled by the blocks class <property name="Class" value="VendingMachine"/>

you could do a BuffsWhenWalkedOn or you could make a quest that requires you to consume a consumable that would cast a shocked buff on you. That buff would then complete the quest and reward you with a key that could be used to upgrade a non working "locked" chest into the working unlocked version to receive its contents.

But to make it shock you upon striking it is not so doable as far as I can think of.

You could maybe make a new vending machine and add a window to its UI that would allow for item storage but IDK if its possible without dll edits or SDX mod where anything is possible.
