Script Modding Guide

SDK Modding Script Documentation

Basic knowledge of C# and Unity is required.

To start with script modding in holdfast, create a new mod and in this mod’s folder create a new script. This script should implement the shared interface IHoldfastSharedMethods.

For example, here’s a mod that’s called “LineFormer” that has the script called “LineFormer.cs” which implements the IHoldfastSharedMethods interface.

New RC commands specific for modding use

Make carbon player bots not do any auto input

If you plan on modifying bots position or rotation, call the following script to force bots to not auto move or rotate. Note: this is different than setting the carbonplayer forceInputAxis/forceInputRotation, since thoses ones will lock ALL the bots in the action, whereas this will allow you to individually control bots's facing rotation and movement system.

rc carbonPlayers ignoreAutoControls <true/false>

Send network trajectory info to client without showing it to players

Similar to drawFirearmTrajectories, this will send the trajectory data from server to client. Unlike the aforementioned command, this will NOT display it to the player, but the mod will still be recieving the data. Enable this only if you're planning on using the "OnShotInfo" on a client side, for server side mods, this isn't required.

rc set drawFirearmTajectoriesInfo <true/false>

Quiet Messages

These messages will not shown to the player anywhere. The intended use for them is for a server-side mod to be able to communicate to a client side mod.

For example;

You have a mod that every time a player presses a button on your mod custom ui, you want to slap a player for 5 damage and they will be shown the message `haha you got slapped by <playername>` on their end of the mod. You are be able to do this by creating a mod that on the player's client side [ie player 3], you have a custom ui panel with a button, which when the button is pressed will send a message to the server (multiple ways of doing this, for example using rc system). This message is than read by the server side mod (could be the same mod, just need conditional logic using the "OnIsServer" and "OnIsClient" to split the mod up) and slaps the targetted player [ie player 5]. Than the server would send a quietPrivateMessage to the slapped target [player 5] informing him that he just got slapped by player 3. The client side of player 5 will than read the quiet private message (using OnTextMessage) and handle it appriopiately.

rc serverAdmin quietPrivateMessage <player_id> <message>
rc serverAdmin quietBroadcastMessage <message>

IHoldfastSharedMethods

All this can be viewed in script by checking the summery. In visual studio you can do this by pressing F12 or hovering on the method.
