Anyone been able to add functional staff?

[pcgrosen]

May I see the code? I'd like to run your mod and look for a few things in the .prison file. If you could give me a copy, I could probably determine where things were going wrong.

May I see the code? I'd like to run your mod and look for a few things in the .prison file. If you could give me a copy, I could probably determine where things were going wrong.

Here is the code for the job:

Code: Select all

BEGIN Job
    Name                    MaintainComputer
    JobTime                 30
    Tool                    CircuitBoard
    Worker                  SystemAdministrator
END

Here is the code for the System Administrator:

Code: Select all

BEGIN Object     
    Name                 SystemAdministrator 
    Toughness            5.0000
    Price                -1500 
   Wage             -500
    RenderDepth          2 
    ViewRange            3
   MoveCost             1.00000
    BlockedBy            Wall 
    BlockedBy            StaticObject 
    BlockedBy            UtilityStation 
    Properties           Entity
    Properties           Staff
   Equipment            Clipboard
   BEGIN   Sprite
        x 14
        y 0 
        w 2 
        h 2 
        RotateType 4
    END
    BEGIN   Sprite
        x 16
        y 0 
        w 2 
        h 2 
        RotateType 4
    END
    BEGIN   Sprite
        x 18
        y 0 
        w 2 
        h 2 
        RotateType 4
    END
    BEGIN   Sprite
        x 20
        y 0 
        w 2 
        h 2 
        RotateType 4
    END
END

What about the script that creates the job?

What about the script that creates the job?

Here is the LUA script. When I run the mod the job is created however the system administrator doesn't do anything.

Code: Select all

function Create()


    Object.SetProperty("NeedsMaintenance", false);
   Object.CreateJob("MaintainComputer");
       
end


function Update( timePassed )

   if math.random(0,4) == 2 then
        NeedsMaintenance = true;
    end
   
    if Object.GetProperty("NeedsMaintenance") then       
        Object.CreateJob("MaintainComputer");
        return;
    end   
   
end



function JobComplete_MaintainComputer()
    Object.SetProperty("NeedsMaintenance", false);   
end

Wage dosn't seem to work for me. Not sure why.

Edit:
And by that I mean the line of code wage. Will tweak with code, see if I can find out why, but looking at the soruce code it dosn't have that line for staff member

Edit#2:
My staff member (a lawyer) dose go to the office and paces around.

Did anyone have any luck with this, I've been trying as well and by sheer coincidence I've already tried the above on my own.

Can spawn the staff and create jobs for that type of staff, but they just sit there.

Anyone tried to tie a lau script to a custom staff member or any other form of work-around?

Edit: Just to clarify I'm talking about a custom worker or gardiner type, not someone who sits in the office.

Can you post the entity description from your materials.txt for the SysAdmin please? Are you setting them to an entity?

Edit: Totally didn't see your post before mine. Sorry about that.

[Kataan]

So running off code similar to the farming mod example provided with the alpha #24 release. I can create an item that can get processed into another item by one of the existing staff (such as cooks) or prisoners, however when its set to a custom staff (in this instance a blacksmith) the custom staff member just doesn't respond and stands still where ever he was spawned. The custom staff member will train the prisoners. The custom staff member also gets tired, but will not move to staff room to sleep.
