question on red/blocked zones

DraconisTheWyvern

you know how there is the zone indicator with the red crosses that if a block is in it is red on weapons and shields? how do you remove and add onto it?

I added more parts than I originally intended and added 3 separate shield generators. one is basically the vanilla with extended range; the other is the corner generator which is going to have two prongs and therefore two invalid/blocked zones and than I intend on adding a large bubble shield for capital/cruiser ships.

There are two ways to do it.

ProhibitAbove = [Number]

You can interchange Above with Right, Left or Below.

ProhibitRect = [1, 1, 0, 0]

ProhibitRects can be used to make custom shapes for your prohibit zones.

At the end of this text block:

Part : /BASE_PART
{
NameKey = "Parts/MachineGun"
IconNameKey = "Parts/MachineGunIcon"
IDString = mystique.machinegun // Part IDs must always be in the form of "author_name.part_name". If making your own mod, do not use "cosmoteer" as your author name, because it may conflict with future vanilla parts.
OtherIDs = [machine_gun]
EditorGroup = "Weapons"
DescriptionKey = "Parts/MachineGunDesc"
Cost = 1000
AIValue = 7
TypeCategories = [weapon, uses_ammo, is_crewed]
Size = [1, 2]
PhysicalRect = [0, 1, 1, 1]
SaveRect = &PhysicalRect
SelectionPriority = 1
SelectionTypeByRotation = true
SelectionTypeID = "cannons"
MaxHealth = 2000
InitialPenetrationResistance = 5
ProhibitAbove = 1

That "ProhibitAbove"

Ultranova the PhysicalRect does it act like a hitbox?

I was thinking of making slate armor by doing:

PhysicalRect = [1,1,1,0]

(im going to sleep so bye ill make sure to check this later)

Actually, three ways with PhysicalRect = [0, 1, 3, 2] but this is probably too hard for people asking obvious questions.

Lafiel you don't have to be a dick while answering lafiel. it was just a simple question about invalid zones.

DraconisTheWyvern I'm stating a fact. If I were every mean you would know it. After all I'm pretty much the only one writing all the modding guides and the wiki here. I'm drawing a line for people to pass the basic level. Otherwise everyone would end up making mods for every one coming by.
Especially when things are right in front of you and all you need do is change the values and try and see how it turns out. If you can't bring that basic level of investigation and effort yourself then helping is a waste. Because likely you will do one mod and never again. All efforts and time invested in helping would go to waste.

DraconisTheWyvern It's a hybrid.
PhysicalRect serves to change the hitbox while creating a prohibited area. It's used with SaveRect to ensure it's remembered and avoid getting lost and cause building collisions.

That would crash.
You have to use CustomCollider is you want a custom hitbox.
