I apologize if it seems like I'm spamming the forum, but I have this crazy enthusiasm for modding now that I have a bit of an understanding for it. I'm modding adventure reactions that allow melting iron weapons (a longsword) into iron bars and then using them to make an iron sword. I have an overarching system in mind where there are a ton of different reactions that melt down items into their bars, and then a matching reaction that allows them to be shaped back into different items (so if I melted down a sword worth 3 bars and a helmet worth 2 bars, I could reforge them into a breastplate worth 4 bars).

My problem comes from a test reaction I did. I got the smelt sword reaction so only three bars are created:

   [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
   [REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG:METAL:IRON]
   [PRODUCT:100:3:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
   [SKILL:FORGE_WEAPON]

But when I use the test reaction, something funny happens.

   [REAGENT:A:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
   [REAGENT:B:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]

   [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG:METAL:IRON]
   [SKILL:FORGE_WEAPON]

See, a sword is created. The problem is that about 40 iron longswords are created from using this reaction once. I have no idea why that is. Anyone know why?

Bars acually = 150

you are using 1:BAR

which means you only need 1/150th of a bar to make teh product. So now your product instead of taking the assumed 3 bars to make one sword. It looks at it and goes "Well I got a 1/150th usage to make a 450 sword." and it goes all wonky. Just change 1:BAR to 150:BAR

same with the other product for turning swords into bars
450:BAR

Similarly, this line:

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:100:3:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]


requires [PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150] right after it for the bars to be functional.

Thanks a ton guys. Now the reaction gets in the ball park, but it still behaves a little differently than I expected. If I use (as a testing reaction)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REACTION:TEST_ADV]
   [NAME:forge longsword]
   [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
   [REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG:METAL:IRON]
   [SKILL:FORGE_WEAPON]

Then it asks for one more bar then I think it should. So like I put in 1 bar, and it says "0 left," and the reaction doesn't take place, and then if I put in a second it makes two swords.
