[WIP] [CR] Delivery Packages (need C++ help)

cosmiccoincidence commented 6 years ago

SUMMARY

I'm currently working on making delivery packages a thing. Upon opening a package you will get one of my predetermined package drops (list of drops below, and would appreciate feedback on said list). These drops will be categorized based on total volume and will come in 1 of 3 sized cardboard boxes... small(1L), medium(8L), or large(20L)... along with some packaging (either bubble wrap or balls of paper).

WHAT I GOT SO FAR

What I got so far is...

[x] 3 cardboard boxes of various sizes.
[x] 3 cardboard packages (similar to the 3 cardboard boxes but different in obvious ways).
[x] A newspaper ball item (the item is made but it just needs code so it can be unfolded into a normal newspaper page).
[x] A list of package contents sorted by the package size they will spawn from.
[x] Package item groups. If you have any suggestions for package contents to add or be removed let me know!

WHAT I STILL NEED TO DO

What I still need to make...

[x] An item group called "packages", where small packages are most likely to spawn and large packages are least likely to spawn.
[x] Item groups from the above package drops list ("small_package_contents_1", "small_package_contents_2", "medium_package_contents_1", "medium_package_contents_2", etc.).
[ ] Add spawns for the item group "packages" to post offices, and delivery trucks, add small packages to "mail" item group to spawn in mailboxes, add spawns for medium and large packages outside the front door of some houses.
[ ] A package delivery truck and mail truck
[ ] A distribution hub location.

WHAT I NEED HELP WITH

[ ] The C++ work because I can't code, and even though what I'm asking for is probably pretty simple, I bet I'd still manage to mess it up, and I wouldn't know where to put the code.

More precisely, I need code that when a package is disassembled or activated (your choice Mr. Hackerman) it breaks down into a cardboard box (small, medium or large depending on the package size), the package contents (based on the package size), and packaging materials (amount based on package size). ZhilkinSerg made a basic example...

    "use_action" : {
      "type" : "unpack",
      "unpack_item_group" : "postcards"
    }

So to summarize it differently, what I want is...

When a small package gets opened it...

selects one of my "small_package" item groups and drops said item group,
drops a small cardboard box,
and drops a small amount of packaging (randomly chosen between bubble wrap or newspaper balls).

When a medium package gets opened it...

selects one of my "medium_package" item groups and drops said item group,
drops a medium cardboard box,
and drops a medium amount of packaging (randomly chosen between bubble wrap or newspaper balls).

When a large package gets opened it...

selects one of my "large_package" item groups and drops said item group,
drops a large cardboard box,
and drops a larger amount of packaging (randomly chosen between bubble wrap or newspaper balls).

I would also like...

When a newspaper ball gets activated it unfolds into one of the following...

"many_years_old_newspaper",
"years_old_newspaper",
"one_year_old_newspaper",
"months_old_newspaper",
or "weeks_old_newspaper".

The reason for the newspaper balls being an alternative to bubble wrap as a packaging material is to make getting bubble wrap (used in noise traps) from packages less common.

It could be fun to add a "Merchandise Distribution Hub" location with a bunch of these packages on conveyor belts, and empty cardboard boxes lying around.

cosmiccoincidence commented 6 years ago

@Regilith Not a bad idea. I was thinking of just adding them to the post office. But I like your idea a bit better. Maybe Ill add the distribution hub which will have all the sizes of packages, but still add just small packages to the post office...

Put "Add Distribution Hub location" into my todo list.

Regilith commented 6 years ago

@cosmiccoincidence +1 on the post office, post offices could use some love. Perhaps spawn the boxes inside the safes and back room?

unfolded poncho X2

Wouldn't it make more sense for the box to contain folded ponchos? Likewise for the emergency blankets, and anything else that's foldable. Manufacturers do tend to fold things that can be folded, before packaging them up for distribution.
