How to create custom blade types
Navigate to lua/wos/advswl/lightsaber/blades/default_blades.lua
Scroll down and paste the following text at the very bottom of your file:
wOS.ALCS.LightsaberBase:AddBlade({
Name = "",
InnerMaterial = "",
EnvelopeMaterial = "",
UseParticle = false,
DrawTrail = false,
QuillonParticle = "",
QuillonInnerMaterial = "",
QuillonEnvelopeMaterial = "",
})
You may now edit this to your liking, the following are what the values mean (Quillons are blades which are only there for aesthetic, and do not do any sort of damage, a lot of lightsaber hilts come have these)
- "Name" will define the name of the custom blade, and what you will refer to when trying to apply this effect to an item or weapon
- "InnerMaterial" sets what the inner of the blade will look like, essentially replacing the original default lightsaber blade there prior
- "EnvelopeMaterial" sets the outer glow of the blade to a different material
- "UseParticle" may only use effects located in your lua/effects folder (May be set to false if you do not want effects)
- "DrawTrail" refers to the small trail that comes from the blade when moving, giving an almost "blurring" effect (Only true, and false may be used here)
- "QuillonParticle" tells us what particle is being used on quillon blades, aka blades which are there for aesthetics, and dont actually do damage (You may leave it blank to remove effects entirely)
- "QuillonInnerMaterial" sets what the inner of the quillon will look like, essentially replacing the original default lightsaber blade there prior
- "QuillonEnvelopeMaterial" sets the outer glow of the quillon to a different material
Example
wOS.ALCS.LightsaberBase:AddBlade({
Name = "Test Blade",
InnerMaterial = "wos/lightsabers/blades/cult",
EnvelopeMaterial = "wos/lightsabers/blades/cult_glow",
UseParticle = "wos_corrupted_burn",
DrawTrail = false,
QuillonParticle = "wos_unstable_discharge",
QuillonInnerMaterial = "wos/lightsabers/blades/cult",
QuillonEnvelopeMaterial = "wos/lightsabers/blades/cult_glow",
})
