Pedestals API 🔗

Features 🔗

• Sane Defaults: Automatically applies standard drawtype, paramtype2, and groups to every pedestal.
• Smart Merging: Correctly merges nested tables (such as groups and tiles) instead of overwriting them.
• Duplicate Prevention: Logs a warning and prevents accidental overwrites if a pedestal is registered more than once.
• Consistency: Ensures all pedestals share a consistent base definition.

Dependencies 🔗

• radapi

Usage 🔗

To register a new pedestal, use the pedestals_api.register_pedestal function.

Example 🔗

pedestals_api.register_pedestal("mymod", "gem_stand", {
    description = "Gem Display Stand",
    mesh        = "mymod_pedestal.obj",
    tiles       = {"mymod_stone.png"},
    -- These groups are merged with the defaults (radapi_display=1, etc.)
    groups      = {cracky = 3}, 
    display_offset = {x = 0, y = 0.8, z = 0},
    display_visual_size = {x = 0.5, y = 0.5},
})
