RCBOWS

function rcbows.register_arrow(name, def)

Example:

rcbows.register_arrow("farbows:e_arrow", {
	damage = 5,
	inventory_arrow = {
		name = "farbows:inv_arrow",
		description = S("Arrow"),
		inventory_image = "farbows_arrow.png",
	}
})

function rcbows.register_bow(name, def)

Example:

rcbows.register_bow("farbows:bow_wood", {
	description = S("Wooden Bow"),
	image = "farbows_bow_wood.png",
	strength = 30,
	uses = 150,
	charge_time = 0.5,
	recipe = {
		{"", "group:wood", "farming:string"},
		{"group:wood", "", "farming:string"},
		{"", "group:wood", "farming:string"},
	},
	base_texture = "farbows_base_bow_wood.png",
	overlay_empty = "farbows_overlay_empty.png",
	overlay_charged = "farbows_overlay_charged.png",
	arrows = "farbows:e_arrow",
	sounds = {
		max_hear_distance = 10,
		gain = 0.4,
	}
})

You can define "arrows" as a single arrow (string) or a table of arrows.

In this case the order matters. The first ones have preference over the last ones when charging the bow.

I.e:

arrows = {"farbows:e_arrow", ""farbows:ice_arrow""},

Audio

1. If you define sounds={}, you get the default sounds.

For no sound at all do not declare 'sounds'.

Also you can set the sound parameters 'max_hear_distance' and 'gain'.

In example:

sounds = {
	max_hear_distance = 10,
	gain = 0.4,
}

2. You also can define your own soundfiles.

In example:

sounds = {
	soundfile_draw_bow = "my_draw_bow"
	soundfile_fire_arrow = "my_fire_arrow"
	soundfile_hit_arrow = "my_hit_arrow"
	max_hear_distance = 5,
	--set the gain by default (0.5)
}

Drop

By default the arrow drops the inventory_arrow when reachs a solid node.

If you want to define another item to drop, define it with 'drop':

rcbows.register_arrow("farbows:e_arrow", {
	damage = 5,
	inventory_arrow = {
		name = "farbows:inv_arrow",
		description = S("Arrow"),
		inventory_image = "farbows_arrow.png",
	}
	drop = "farbows_drop_arrow"
})

If you want not any drop at all, add:

no_drop = true,

Arrow Effects

You can define some arrow effects

replace_node

Replace the hit node for this one.

trail_particle

Particle texture to create an arrow trail.

explosion

It requires "tnt" or "explosion" mods as an optional dependency.

It is a table in where to define:

• mod = "tnt" or "explosions",
• radius
• damage = It is "damage_radius" for the "tnt" mod or "strength" for "explosions"

In example:

rcbows.register_arrow("farbows:fire_arrow", {
	damage = 7,
	inventory_arrow = {
		name = "farbows:inv_fire_arrow",
		description = S("Fire Arrow"),
		inventory_image = "farbows_arrow_fire.png",
	},
	drop = "farbows:inv_arrow",
	effects = {
		replace_node = "fire:basic_flame",
		trail_particle = "farbows_particle_fire.png",
		explosion = {
			mod = "tnt",
			radius= 10,
			damage = 1,
		}
	}
})

water

An effect that extinguishes the flames.

It requires "fire" mod as an optional dependency.

It is a table in where to define:

• flame_node = The name of the flame node to extinguish
• radius
• particles = A water particles effect [optional]

rcbows.register_arrow("farbows:water_arrow", {
	projectile_texture = "farbows_water_arrow",
	damage = 2,
	inventory_arrow = {
		name = "farbows:inv_water_arrow",
		description = S("Water Arrow"),
		inventory_image = "farbows_arrow_water.png",
	},
	drop = "bucket:bucket_empty",
	effects = {
		trail_particle = "default_water.png",
		water = {
			radius = 5,
			flame_node = "fire:basic_flame",
			particles = true,
		},
	}
})
