Items

Creating Items

To create an item, you first need to make a class overriding CustomInventoryItem.
Example:

using COTL_API.CustomInventory;
using COTL_API.Helpers;
using UnityEngine;
using System.IO;

internal class ExampleItem : CustomInventoryItem
{
    public override string InternalName => "Example_Item";
    public override string LocalizedName() { return "Example Item"; }
    public override string LocalizedDescription() { return "This is an example item"; }

    //used for inventory icons
    public override Sprite InventoryIcon => TextureHelper.CreateSpriteFromPath(Path.Combine(Plugin.PluginPath, "Assets", "example_item.png"));

    //used for spawning object in the world
    public override Sprite Sprite => TextureHelper.CreateSpriteFromPath(Path.Combine(Plugin.PluginPath, "Assets", "example_item.png"));
}

CustomInventoryItem supports the following overrides:

Type	Name	Default
string	InternalName	[REQUIRED]
Sprite	InventoryIcon	TextureHelper.CreateSpriteFromPath(PluginPaths.ResolveAssetPath(“placeholder.png”))
Sprite	Sprite	TextureHelper.CreateSpriteFromPath(PluginPaths.ResolveAssetPath(“placeholder.png”))
InventoryItem.ITEM_CATEGORIES	ItemCategory	InventoryItem.ITEM_CATEGORIES.NONE
InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE	SeedType	InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE.NONE;
CustomInventoryItemType	InventoryItemType	CustomInventoryItemType.ITEM
string	LocalizedName()	LocalizationManager.GetTranslation($“Inventory/{ModPrefix}.{InternalName}“)
string	LocalizedLore()	LocalizationManager.GetTranslation($“Inventory/{ModPrefix}.{InternalName}/Lore”)
string	LocalizedDescription()	LocalizationManager.GetTranslation($“Inventory/{ModPrefix}.{InternalName}/Description”)
int	FuelWeight	1
int	FoodSatitation	75
bool	IsFish	false
bool	IsFood	false
bool	IsBigFish	false
bool	IsCurrency	false
bool	IsSeed	false
bool	IsPlantable	false
bool	IsBurnableFuel	false
bool	CanBeGivenToFollower	false
string	GiftTitle(Follower follower)	$“{Name()} ({Inventory.GetItemQuantity(ItemType)})“
FollowerCommands	GiftCommand	FollowerCommands.None
void	OnGiftTo(Follower follower, System.Action onFinish)	onFinish()
CustomItemManager.ItemRarity	Rarity	CustomItemManager.ItemRarity.COMMON
Vector3	LocalScale	new(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f)
bool	AddItemToOfferingShrine	false;
InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE	ItemPickUpToImitate	InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE.LOG
bool	AddItemToDungeonChests	false
int	DungeonChestSpawnChance	100
int	DungeonChestMinAmount	1
int	DungeonChestMaxAmount	1
bool	CanBeRefined	false
InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE	RefineryInput	InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE.LOG
int	RefineryInputQty	15
float	CustomRefineryDuration	0

Helpers

Type	Name	Purpose
bool	CustomItemManager.DropLoot(CustomInventoryItem customInventoryItem)	Used to determine if a custom item should drop or not based on the items chance configuration.

Adding Items

To add an item to the game, simply use CustomItemManager.Add().
Example:

using COTL_API.CustomInventory;
public static InventoryItem.ITEM_TYPE ExampleItem { get; private set; }

private void Awake()
{
    ExampleItem = CustomItemManager.Add(new ExampleItem());
}

Assigning the result of CustomItemManager.Add() allows you to reference that item elsewhere in your code using Plugin.ExampleItem. Example usage below.

Spawning Items

To spawn an item into the world, add the neccessary overrides (see table above) and simply use InventoryItem.Spawn(Plugin.ExampleItem, 5, Position);. The properties the item will take on (such as bounce, speed etc) are determined by ItemPickUpToImitate. The sprite that is used for spawning is the same as the inventory icon.

• Items can be added to dungeon chests.
• You can control the chance to spawn, and the minimum/maximum amount to spawn.
• There is a helper method to aid in determining chance, simply call CustomItemManager.DropLoot(Plugin.ExampleItem); which returns a boolean true/false.
• Keep in mind the chance is affected by the players current LuckModifier.
• Items can be added to offering shrines. The shrines have two pools, COMMON and RARE. The default for custom items is COMMON.

Refinery

Custom items can be added to the refinery as a refinable resource. Simply follow the steps below:

• Override the refinery fields.
• CanBeRefined needs to be set to true. The default is false.
• RefineryInput is the item/materials required.
• RefineryInputQty is how many of the above items are required.

The default time used by the refinery is 128f, with that then being modified based on the followers attributes.

• CustomRefineryDuration is optional. Leaving it at 0 or not overriding is off, anything greater than 0 becomes the time to refine.

Final Steps

For the icon to load, you need to put it in the appropriate location. For the example, this would be /Assets/example_item.png relative to the root folder containing the .dll
Directory structure:

📂plugins
 ┣📂Assets
 ┃ ┗🖼️example_item.png
 ┗📜mod_name.dll
