Where do I need to put this?
Code:
public bool RefreshVisibility(bool immediate)
{
if (mSimDescription == null)
{
return false;
}
Sim ghostSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
if (ghostSim == null)
{
return false;
}
bool flag = false;
if (IsReal)
{
flag = true;
}
else
{
Sim selectedActor = PlumbBob.SelectedActor;
SimDescription simDescription = (selectedActor == null) ? null : selectedActor.SimDescription;
if (simDescription != null && (simDescription.Occupation is GhostHunter || simDescription.SkillManager?.GetElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft)?.SkillLevel >= 5 || simDescription.CreatedSim.BuffManager?.HasElement(yourBuffGuid) || selectedActor == ghostSim))
{
flag = true;
}
}
float fadeTime = immediate ? 0f : GameObject.kGlobalObjectFadeTime;
if (flag)
{
createdSim.FadeIn(false, fadeTime);
}
else
{
createdSim.FadeOut(false, false, fadeTime);
}
Audio.MuteAllSounds(createdSim.ObjectId, !flag);
return flag;

How to make this work?
Code:
Sim createdSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
What should I do? Context:
Code:
public class Visibility
{
public bool RefreshVisibility(bool immediate)
{
if (mSimDescription == null)
{
return false;
}
Sim createdSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
if (createdSim == null)
{
return false;
}
bool flag = false;
if (IsReal)
{
flag = true;
}
else
{
Sim selectedActor = PlumbBob.SelectedActor;
SimDescription simDescription = (selectedActor == null) ? null : selectedActor.SimDescription;
if (simDescription != null && (simDescription.Occupation is GhostHunter || (simDescription.SkillManager.HasElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft) && simDescription.SkillManager.GetElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft).SkillLevel >= 5) || simDescription.CreatedSim.BuffManager.HasElement(0x15DABBECF72A9084) || selectedActor == createdSim))
{
flag = true;
}
}
float fadeTime = immediate ? 0f : GameObject.kGlobalObjectFadeTime;
if (flag)
{
createdSim.FadeIn(false, fadeTime);
}
else
{
createdSim.FadeOut(false, false, fadeTime);
}
Audio.MuteAllSounds(createdSim.ObjectId, !flag);
return flag;
}
public SimDescription mSimDescription;
public bool IsReal
{
get
{
return mIsReal;
}
set
{
mIsReal = value;
}
}
public bool mIsReal;
}

It's actually quite an easy one to fix 
So, just for other people to understand what the CS0029 error is, it's an error when you're trying to assign a value to a variable but both have a different type.
For instance, this will give you an CS0029 error:
The same thing is the case when assigning a SimDescription type to a Sim. Because the Sim is the "Whole" sim and the SimDescription is... well, how you'd "Describe" the sim as their being (Career, traits, skills, lovers, etc). At least that's how I remember them. So Assigning Sim to a Simdescription won't work like you did here:
SimDescription createdSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
OR do this:

For instance, this will give you an CS0029 error:

Of course, the reason why this won't work is that we're trying to assign a string to an int! Which obviously won't work string iAmAString = "Hello!"; int iAmInt = iAmAString

Now, there are 2 choices you can make here. Either do:Sim createdSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
SimDescription createdSim = mSimDescription.IsGhost;
OR do this:
Code:
I will say, I'm a bit confused as to how CreatedSim knows whether it's a ghost, since there isn't anything like looping through all sims in the town and seeing if they're a ghost and saving them in a List or something. Or whether this is a social interaction, but i do hope this helps!
Sim createdSim = null;
//Later on in your code when you need CreatedSim you do:
createdSim = base.Actor;
if(createdSim.SimDescription.IsGhost)
{
blah blah blah

Calling upon a custom RefreshVisibility Code Snippet to make sims invisible
Code:
public bool RefreshVisibility(bool immediate)
{
if (targetDescription == null)
{
return false;
}
Sim createdSim = targetDescription.CreatedSim;
if (createdSim == null)
{
return false;
}
bool flag = false;
if (!targetDescription.IsGhost)
{
flag = false;
}
else
{
Sim selectedActor = PlumbBob.SelectedActor;
SimDescription simDescription = (selectedActor == null) ? null : selectedActor.SimDescription;
if (simDescription != null && (simDescription.Occupation is GhostHunter || (simDescription.SkillManager.HasElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft) && simDescription.SkillManager.GetElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft).SkillLevel >= 5) || simDescription.CreatedSim.BuffManager.HasElement(0x15DABBECF72A9084) || selectedActor == createdSim))
{
flag = true;
}
}
float fadeTime = immediate ? 0f : GameObject.kGlobalObjectFadeTime;
if (flag)
{
createdSim.FadeIn(false, fadeTime);
}
else
{
createdSim.FadeOut(false, false, fadeTime);
}
Audio.MuteAllSounds(createdSim.ObjectId, !flag);
return flag;
}
public SimDescription mSimDescription;
public SimDescription targetDescription;
}
Is there anything here that would be prejudicial to my goal? Or is everything okay, and how could I call upon it to create the desired effect?

So, if I were you, I'd modify the invisible code thing a bit more to parse in a sim as well in your parameters. That way, you don't necessarily need the whole 'createdSim' stuff you're defining (which was useful in the case of an Occult, since you'd already have that kind of data).
Here's what I'd change:
Code:
public bool RefreshVisibility(bool immediate, Sim sim)
{
if (sim == null)
{
return false;
}
bool flag = false;
if (!sim.SimDescription.IsGhost)
{
flag = false;
}
else
{
// THis should probably need some testing, but I can see that this could work.
Sim selectedActor = PlumbBob.SelectedActor;
SimDescription simDescription = (selectedActor == null) ? null : selectedActor.SimDescription;
if (simDescription != null && (simDescription.Occupation is GhostHunter || (simDescription.SkillManager.HasElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft) && simDescription.SkillManager.GetElement(SkillNames.Spellcraft).SkillLevel >= 5) || simDescription.CreatedSim.BuffManager.HasElement(0x15DABBECF72A9084) || selectedActor == createdSim))
{
flag = true;
}
}
float fadeTime = immediate ? 0f : GameObject.kGlobalObjectFadeTime;
if (flag)
{
sim.FadeIn(false, fadeTime);
}
else
{
sim.FadeOut(false, false, fadeTime);
}
Audio.MuteAllSounds( sim.ObjectId, !flag);
return flag;
}
}
And then basically you do this:
Code:
public static void OnWorldLoadFinishedHandler(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
foreach (Sim sim in Sims3.Gameplay.Queries.GetObjects<Sim>())
{
// Either this:
if (sim != null && sim.SimDescription.IsGhost)
// Or this:
if (sim != null)
{
RefreshVisibility(true, sim);
}
}
}
And voila! I did make an error yesterday thinking that true means it's invisible, but it's actually the opposite. So if we put in false then the sim will turn invisible. Keep that in mind though!
Now I can see instances where a sim would need to see them, which means we need to set it back to 'true'. I'd say for those instances try looking into Broadcaster stuff
EDIT: I went a bit back to some older threads you made to get a better understanding of how this needs to work, but I did come across this interesting thread: https://modthesims.info/showthread....172#post5706172
Where this code is, in the case of the OccultImaginaryfriend code is always being executed for when a sim is selected (And has an Imaginary friend, hence the 'owner' variable). Instead, I'd turn the thought around. Figure out who happen to be ghosts and give them a broadcaster, so when people are around them, you execute the RefreshVisibility code (Where we also do checks of course if the sim in the broadcast area can even see them). And there you go!
The broadcast would then be the thing you'd want to add to the onWorldFinished code, rather than the RefreshVisbility. ANd then just execute the RefreshVisibilty code inside the broadcaster
Make sure you check this thread for that where we've discussed it before: https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=651733

Adding Solo Interactions
Code:
new public static ISoloInteractionDefinition Singleton = new Definition();
Thus, when I try doing this on the instantiator class:
Code:
sim.AddInteraction(CyrusHaunt.Singleton, true);
I get error CS1503. How could I fix this?

Why my instantiator class makes the ground interactions disappear?
Here's the class:
Code:
public class Test
{
[Tunable]
internal static bool kInstantiator;
static Test()
{
World.sOnWorldLoadFinishedEventHandler = (EventHandler)Delegate.Combine(World.sOnWorldLoadFinishedEventHandler, new EventHandler(OnWorldFinishedLoading));
LoadSaveManager.ObjectGroupsPreLoad += OnPreLoad;
}
private static void OnWorldFinishedLoading(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AlarmManager.Global.AddAlarm(1f, TimeUnit.Minutes, Start, "Start", AlarmType.NeverPersisted, null);
EventTracker.AddListener(EventTypeId.kEventSimSelected, OnSelectedSimChanged);
}
public static void OnPreLoad()
{
new BuffBooter().LoadBuffData();
}
private static void Start()
{
Sim[] objects = Sims3.Gameplay.Queries.GetObjects<Sim>();
foreach (Sim sim in objects)
{
if (sim != null && sim.IsHuman && !sim.IsRobot && !sim.IsEP11Bot)
{
sim.AddInteraction(PossessInteraction.Singleton, true);
sim.AddInteraction(CyrusHaunt.Singleton, true);
}
}
}
public static ListenerAction OnSelectedSimChanged(Event e)
{
Sim[] sims = Sims3.Gameplay.Queries.GetObjects<Sim>();
foreach (Sim sim in sims)
{
Visibility.RefreshVisibility(sim.SimDescription, false);
}
return ListenerAction.Keep;
}

Hey @CyrusBanefort !
I merged a few of your threads together that are about this specific interaction. Since it wasn't easy as the person helping what changed and how to help you with any questions. Plus! It makes it easier for you to track down what was going on.
But just know, it's fine to dedicate one thread to even a project, like Alunn does with their Yoga mod: https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=646330
It might be 4 pages long, but it's great stuff and information that's been given!
Also, not to sound mean here whatsoever, and I know that as a beginner it's easier to ask here since it's a sims-code-related issue, but getting errors like a CS1503 errors and such, is a great resource to learn about coding Or, in fact, learning to understand and read code. It's a hard thing to do at first, but it teaches your brain to read an error you have, you google it and StackOverflow has allll sorts of issues. But where the trick comes in (And teaching your brain with the logistics of coding, which is a skill altogether by itself) is to see what fixed things for them and how to apply something similar to your code. In fact, it even helps growing in programming to a degree where you find yourself writing most of the code yourself eventually, no matter which programmer language or thing you make it for (websites, games, apps). I do that all the time and that helped me tremendously when starting out sims coding and C#. So google first, if you really can't figure it out (which I totally get, I have that too occasionally and spend hours getting it to work lol) then of course it's cool to ask!
Hopefully, this doesn't sound like a personal attack or anything, I totally understand that it's hard to code and especially for Ts3! (Also a thank you can be lovely as well for the ones helping out)
But to get to your question:
Does nraas Errortrap give you any errors when the game loads? or Nraas traveler? because usually that indicates that there's some code it's not liking. What happens if you change the sOnWorldLoadFinishedEventHandler stuff into this instead:
because else you're creating a whole new event handler and overriding the current one, which I don't think will work with other global mods.
Hope this helps a bit!

Ah, sorry if I did not thank the people who helped. Somehow, my mind thought it would be better to not populate the thread with things not relevant to the topic, but I think it's fine now. Just thanking you for all the help 'till now. Well, I'll try doing this -- But I think there's some problem that goes deeper than that. I tried some solutions already, like making another class to put the instantiator on, but the problem persisted. There's not a error or anything, it just simply does not work. The buff even does not appear in MasterController's list. If I reckon correctly, errortrap did not tell me about anything in particular - Could be that I'm confusing myself, so I'll see about that. Perhaps this could be something related about having two instantiators in the same assembly? I'll also try creating a new assembly, adding it as a reference in this assembly and see if it will work.

But weird that Error trap didn't catch anything! personally, Whenever it does this to me where things get unclickable and stuff, I usually refer back to this and start out clean again: http://www.simlogical.com/ContentUp..._script_mod.pdf

Final Stages of Development
1: Making it so sims cannot autonomously start interactions with ghosts, to finish the visibility issue. (How could I do this? ITUNs, XMLs?
2: A idea that I got from the newest stuff pack in TS4 - A seance table that would allow for communing with otherwordly spirits and the summoning of them. Also, need ideas of what could be used to make this. Don't know if this could be possible.
We're almost there. Thanks for all the help I've got so far.
