So, to start it off, I want to make my own Custom Farming Machines. I actually looked at Platonymous' machines' .json file and was wondering if the variables created are custom variables created for Stardew Valley alone. If I may ask, may I know the details for these variables? "texture" "readyindex" "pulsate" "tileindex" "time" "frames" "production" "id" "legacy" "prefix" This line of code: "materials": [ { "index": 184 (what is "index? I know there are item IDs for each item, but what is this for? also, what is a negative index?) } ] This another line of code (what does it mean in general): "materials": [ { "index": 771, "stack": 3 } ] Thank you in advance!
In programming, an index is normally used to relate to objects in an array, it's normally a unique whole number starting at 0, based on the samples I'd say the index = item id but I would have to see a bit more code for context. Now for the negative index I am new to mod sdv but in the past games I've seen them used as sample/test items, debug objects or objects that have been removed from the game/prerelease items.
If the index are the item ids, negative index are categories. "materials": [ { "index": 771, "stack": 3 } ] probably mean that to make this machine you need 3 items of index 771. if it were a negative number, it would mean that you need any item of that category.
