Solved Using XP particle punch effect?

Would it be possible to use the effect from the XP system that does the burst of green bubbles/orbs? I want to be able to add that effect to a cui possibly

 

First you need to find the correct prefab string, you can list all the prefab strings with the code below and see output in rusty/whatever, but it may take 15-20mins.

Code:

//Writen by Wulf
foreach (var str in GameManifest.Get().pooledStrings)
{
   Puts(str.str);
}

I tried to narrow it down to effects with the following but I didn't see anything obvious related to Xp

Code:

foreach (var str in GameManifest.Get().pooledStrings)
{
       if (!str.str.StartsWith("assets/bundled/prefabs/fx/")) continue;
       Puts(str.str);
}

Once you find the right string you can do the following

Code:

using UnityEngine;
Effect.server.Run("assets/bundled/prefabs/fx/player/onfire.prefab", PlayerPos);

 

I don't believe its a prefab mainly. because I found the the line of code in the server assembly that does it . We are just stumped on how to add it. or if its possible

 

That's client side I think.

 

I can tell you the the server uses the unityengine to generate the particles. And uses key frames to move and animate them

 

I'm pretty certain that it's purely client sided, I don't see a point in it being server sided.

 

@Wulf said it might be possible

There wouldn't be a way for it to be pushed to the client?

 

Hmm I see.

 

I'd imagine it probably is client side given other players can't see when you get Xp, so not a lot reason for it to be server really. But honestly it doesn't matter and i'll tell you why in a second. When you do player.xp.Add(Rust.Xp.Definitions.Cheat, amount); it causes the effect so can use that to narrow down the exact code that causes the effect, but it sounds like you've done this. So ultimately all you would need to do is probably change the onscreen coordinates of the effect and if it is client side you probably can't but either way you can just do the same effect for any players within x radius of the player you're doing it for.


Something like this would do what I mentioned, untested

Code:

using UnityEngine;
using Rust.Xp;void PlayersNearPlayer(BasePlayer player, float radius)
{
    var Active = BasePlayer.activePlayerList as List<BasePlayer>;
    foreach( BasePlayer aplayer in Active)
    {
        if (aplayer.userID==player.userID) continue;
        float distance = Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position,aplayer.transform.position);
        if (distance <= radius)
        {
            // do Xp effect by giving the player 1 Xp
            aplayer.xp.Add(Rust.Xp.Definitions.Cheat, 1);
            Puts(string.Format("Did effect for player {0}",aplayer.displayName));
          
           //now do rest of your code to the player
        }
    }
}

 

Just use this:

Code:

            foreach (var str in GameManifest.Get().pooledStrings)
            {
                var prefab = str.str;
                ConVar.Server.Log("oxide/logs/AssetsOutput.txt", prefab);
            }
            Puts("Created AssetsOutput.txt with Assets");

it saves the Prefabs in a file (oxide/logs/AssetsOutput.txt) and it finishes instantly.

 

Maybe you can add 1 XP for example and then remove it instantly. Then you'll get the effect but it wouldn't affect player's XP.

 

The experience and levelup notices are running client side but can actually be triggered by running a console command on the client no need to actually give the user any experience and take it away after.

Code:

notice.levelup <level_number>
notice.xp

 

That's not the "particle punch effect" but something.

 

Sorry didn't read everything, you can trigger the effect by sending an RPC message to the client indicating that the spend experience has changed but you need to send another one on the next update cycle to reset the xp value on the user's screen to prevent it from bugging out:

Code:

namespace Oxide.Plugins
{
    [Info("Tests", "Mughisi", 1.0)]
    class Tests : RustPlugin
    {
        [ChatCommand("t")]
        private void Test(BasePlayer p)
        {
            timer.Repeat(1, 5, () => Boom(p));
        }        private void Boom(BasePlayer p)
        {
            p.ClientRPCPlayer(null, p, "UpdateXPValues", p.xp.CurrentLevel, p.xp.UnspentXp + 1);
            timer.Once(0.1f, () => p.ClientRPCPlayer(null, p, "UpdateXPValues", p.xp.CurrentLevel, p.xp.UnspentXp - 1));
        }
    }
}

 

couldn't you just use NextTick() instead of a 0.1 timer?

 

Not the point, you can use anything you want honestly, the RPC message is what it is about and making sure to send a second one to undo the change to trigger the particle explosion effect. The timer.Once is there because I had it there from something else. You can even go crazy with it and setup a queue and undo it in OnTick if you want to The important thing is that the change needs to be undone.
