Creating a character is extremely easy and modular, thanks to our typical formatting. There are numerous examples available in the darkrp_mounter.lua file in the directory specified. If you are looking to create custom characters, please see the relevant knowledgebase article. Certain parameters are not used when creating characters that tie to DarkRP jobs, so it is important to consult both for what suits your needs.
The main difference between custom characters and DarkRP-tied characters is the presence of the DarkRPTeam parameter in the character creation, but the method is essentially the same.
1) Navigate to the following directory: lua/wos/charsys/characters/
2) Use one of the existing files, or create your own .lua file in that folder.
3) Characters are created with the following format. You can insert as many as you want in one file, just as if you were making DarkRP jobs:
wOS.CharSys:RegisterCharacter({
Name = "Hobo", --The name of the character, as it will appear in the character menu
DarkRPTeam = "TEAM_HOBO", --The TEAM enumeration of the DarkRP job, as a STRING. VERY IMPORTANT IT IS A STRING
Description = "Lord of the BOX", --The description for the character, as it will appear in the character menu
TextColor = Color( 210, 105, 30), --The color of the name and description in the character mrenu
Sequence = "judge_customize", --The sequence animation for the model to use when displayed in the character menu
UserGroups = false, --Restrictions, if any, for what user group can use this character
-- The costumes and outfits for each model this character can select from
Costumes = {
[ "models/player/corpse1.mdl" ] = {
[ "The King of Hobos" ] = false,
[ "New Aged Pimple" ] = {
UserGroups = false,
Skin = 3,
Bodygroup = {},
}
},
},
-- The function to apply whenever the player spawns as this character
OnSpawn = function( ply )
ply:EmitSound( "npc/zombie/zombie_alert" .. math.random( 1, 3 ) .. ".wav" )
end,
})
More information about special parameters such as Loadout, UserGroups, OnSpawn, Costumes, and Model are available in other articles on the knowledgebase.
