How to put custom loot in barrel/chest?

[Clipeus]

Hello,

 

I'm working on my first small mod and my question is:

how do you put custom loot in barrels/chests without messing up the standard loot values of the base objects?

 

Is there something like drag and drop for loot?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Alright, what you want to do is go to the object window > Select World Objects > Container> and choose a barrel or chest of your choice > Right click: Edit

Let's choose for easy and let's go with a barrel.

 

Edit the ID to what you want: For example: UniqueBarrel1

Change the name if you want, but I leave it as Barrel for now.

Then you can also see: Item list with in it some thing standing for random food.

 

Delete that if you want with right click.

Then right click on an empty spot and the roster and click new

You'll get an AAAlightshit :P

Look a little lower and you can see a drop-down menu where you can choose what item it should be

And you can also change the amount

 

Then save it, and drag it into the render window and you're done. (do drag UniqueBarrel1)

 

You can play around with the settings in the Edit window if you want to find out more.

Thanks a lot man! :biggrin:

 

Changing the ID creates a new version of the base object while leaving the original intact?

 

Edit: yes, it does.
