Modding Basics

• The _UpdateInterval variable specifies how often the main function should be called in milliseconds.

• If the _UpdateInterval variable is not set, it is automatically set to 1000 ms.

• The _UpdateInterval variable cannot be changed during runtime.

Example:

• Inputs are defined in the _Inputs array.

  • The _Inputs array is a 2 dimensional array.

  • The dimensions are: [number of inputs, 5]

• Each input must have a unique name, otherwise there may be problems loading.

• You can have either a number (Type = num) or a text (Type = txt) as input.

• It is also possible to add one or more headings (Type = hed).

• If you want to access the _Inputs array from the Main function you have to make is static.

• Inputs are saved automatically and independently of layouts.

Fields definitions:

1 2 3 4 5
{"Value", "Type", "Name", "min(If Number)", "max(If Number)"}

• The first value of the input array is the value from the input.

  • The field gives you the user's input

  • The standard value can be set here

  • If you update this value in the code, the user input will not be updated!

• The second value is the type

  • There are three types:

    • Text (Type="txt")

    • Number (Type="num")

    • Number Slider (Type="sld")

    • Bool (Type="bol")

    • Header (Type="hed")

  • If the type is not one of the above, the Input will be ignored

• The third value is the Name

  • As already mentioned above, the name must be unique as it can cause problems

  • The name will be displayed next to the input field

• The fourth and fifth values are only for the number input

  • The fourth value specifies the maximum value of the input

  • The fifth value specifies the minimum value of the input
