WIP Beta released Part Randomizer...?

Wait, does it select a random part on the current part?

 

so can i download this and use it or is it just code at the moment

 

it's only just testing code

 

Wait, all possible parts from the vehicle? I want it so it chooses a random selection from the current part. I don't want a turbo set as the door, lol.
Also my lua doesn't seem to be working. I'm creating the magic that sets the random stuff, but nothing happens. The car does reload, though. I looked in the console and it just appeared to be spawning a stock pickup. Fix...?

Code:

local M = {}

local function rolldice()
    print("if you see this in console that means this works")
    --Gets vehicle's name
    local carname = be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getJBeamFilename()

    local config = extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.getConfig()

    --Cycle through each slot
    for slot_name, curr_part in pairs(config.parts) do
      print(slot_name)
      --Get all available parts
        local all_parts = require('jbeam/io').getAvailableParts(extensions.core_vehicle_manager.getPlayerVehicleData().ioCtx)
        print (all_parts)

        --Get random part
        local keyset = {}
        for k in pairs(all_parts) do 
            table.insert(keyset, k)
        end
        local random_part = all_parts[keyset[math.random(#keyset)]]
        config.parts.slot_name = random_part
    end
    extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.setPartsConfig(config.parts, true)
end

M.rolldice = rolldice

return M

 

Wait nvm I think I'm getting there, but I still don't got it. It says it can't find the part "table: (insert random 64-bit string here)" wasn't found. Why is it finding some strange 64-bit string instead of a part name?

Code:

local M = {}

local function rolldice()
    print("if you see this in console that means this works")
    --Gets vehicle's name
    local carname = be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getJBeamFilename()

    local config = extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.getConfig()

    --Cycle through each slot
    for slot_name, curr_part in pairs(config.parts) do
      print(slot_name)
      --Get all available parts
        local all_parts = require('jbeam/io').getAvailableParts(extensions.core_vehicle_manager.getPlayerVehicleData().ioCtx)
        print (all_parts)

        --Get random part
        local keyset = {}
        for k in pairs(all_parts) do 
            table.insert(keyset, k)
        end
        local random_part = all_parts[keyset[math.random(#keyset)]]
        config.parts[slot_name] = random_part
    end
    extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.setPartsConfig(config.parts, true)
end

M.rolldice = rolldice

return M

 

?

 

sorry I said "?" because you weren't responding

I'm not that experienced at beamng lua, or lua in general.
I know how to use pairs, but how would I be able to filter the slot? BeamNG lua is so confusing to me.

 

Make sure it doesn't select 'empty' by random
Some parts will be a disaster and won't even make a vehicle start, so at least make a match like, diesel engine - diesel fuel tank stuff.

Actually you should use this command instead as it actually gives you what parts you can be put in each vehicle's slot.

Code:

local all_slots = require('jbeam/io').getAvailableSlotMap(extensions.core_vehicle_manager.getPlayerVehicleData().ioCtx)

So all you need to do is to pick a random part for each slot.[/QUOTE]
how would I get it to work for slot_name?
--- Post updated ---

also it doesn't work. table:dump() doesn't seem to exist.
no idea if this is correct or not

Code:

local M = {}

local function rolldice()
    print("if you see this in console that means this works")
    --Gets vehicle's name
    local carname = be:getPlayerVehicle(0):getJBeamFilename()

    local config = extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.getConfig()

    --Cycle through each slot
    for slot_name, curr_part in pairs(config.parts) do
      print(slot_name)
      --Get all available parts
        local all_slots = require('jbeam/io').getAvailableSlotMap(extensions.core_vehicle_manager.getPlayerVehicleData().ioCtx)
        print (all_slots)

        --Get random part
        local keyset = {}
        for k in pairs(all_slots) do 
            table.insert(keyset, k)
        end
        local go = keyset:dump()
        local random_part = all_slots[go[math.random(#go)]]
        config.parts[slot_name] = tostring(random_part)
    end
    extensions.core_vehicle_partmgmt.setPartsConfig(config.parts, true)
end

M.rolldice = rolldice

return M

 

Now that’s something I wanna see!

 

yeah once i get this code working

 

Well, good luck, and may the programming gods be in your favor

 

ayes

 

dump() function is used to print out the contents of a variable (e.g. elements of a table). Use it like this:

Code:

dump(var_name)

So make a subtable of available parts for a given slot, get random part from that subtable, and set the current slot to the part. Make use of the "dump" function to see how the tables are structured to see how to access elements of the table, so you can figure out how to code this logic.[/QUOTE]
Alrighty, I see how it is structured...
It's like a pc file.

Code:

"part", "part", "part" etc

But it doesn't sort it by what part it belongs to. It's scrambled. I need some help.
The problem is that I know how to code the basic lua logic, but I don't know how to code BeamNG lua. It's not clear to me, and I'm not using that outdated wiki again.
