I want to make a TreeMenu freeplay

[THEkatinamicrowave]

how do i do it though since ModState only extends MusicBeatState

[r6915ee]

Doesn't UIState, which TreeMenu uses, also extend MusicBeatState? I'd assume that the two would be compatible.

[r6915ee]

I don't think that's how descension works. You see, ModState extends MusicBeatState. That's doesn't mean that ModState extends TreeMenu or UIState. As far as I'm aware, you can't just replace states from source code; you have to make sure that your state is a modstate. You're also not allowed to extend from other classes, afaiw

No, I meant by sharing similar properties that are perhaps just enough to allow some form of compatibility, considering they both extend MusicBeatState.

idk I'd rather not fully recreate UIState and TreeMenu just to make a cool freeplay menu 😭

@NeeEoo what does it mean by ./source

is it like
mods/mod/source/file.hx
or
mods/mod/data/source/file.hx

[r6915ee]

It's likely the latter, since that's the general convention for Codename scripts besides song scripts. But, if there any issues, you should be able to move the source folder out of the data folder.

[Jamextreme140]

./source goes either on assets folder or in a mod folder:

• assets/source/YourClass.hx
• mods/your-mod/source/YourClass.hx

[Jamextreme140]

You can create it by making a Custom State but instead using ModState, you will need to do this:

import funkin.options.TreeMenu;

FlxG.switchState(new TreeMenu(true, 'TreeFreeplay')); //Assume you have TreeFreeplay.hx on data/states

With that, you will have access to a Custom TreeMenu state

[THEkatinamicrowave]

ok; how would I go about replacing FreeplayState using a global script

[Jamextreme140]

You can do something like this.

import funkin.options.TreeMenu;

var redirectStates:Map<FlxState, String> = [
    FreeplayState => "CustomTreeFreeplay"
];

function preStateSwitch() {
    for (redirectState in redirectStates.keys()) {
        if (Std.isOfType(FlxG.game._requestedState, redirectState)) {
            if(redirectState is FreeplayState)
                FlxG.game._requestedState = new TreeMenu(true, redirectStates.get(redirectState));
            else
                FlxG.game._requestedState = new ModState(redirectStates.get(redirectState));
        }
    }   
}

It checks specifically if it's FreeplayState, otherwise it will use the normal ModState.
