Hooks

Hooks are a way for SM64 to trigger Lua code, whereas the functions listed in functions allow Lua to trigger SM64 code.

Supported Hooks


hook_behavior

hook_behavior() allows Lua mods to override existing behaviors or create new ones.

Parameters

Field Type Notes
behaviorId enum BehaviorId Set to nil to create a new behavior
objectList enum ObjectList
replaceBehavior bool Prevents the original behavior code from running
initFunction Lua Function (Object obj) Runs once per object
loopFunction Lua Function (Object obj) Runs once per frame per object
behaviorName string Optional, name to give to the behavior

Returns

Lua Example

function bhv_example_init(obj)
    obj.oFlags = OBJ_FLAG_UPDATE_GFX_POS_AND_ANGLE
    network_init_object(obj, true, nil)
end

function bhv_example_loop(obj)
    obj.oPosY = obj.oPosY + 1
end

id_bhvExample = hook_behavior(nil, OBJ_LIST_DEFAULT, true, bhv_example_init, bhv_example_loop, "bhvExample")

hook_chat_command

hook_chat_command() allows Lua mods to react and respond to chat commands. Chat commands start with the / character. The function the mod passes to the hook should return true when the command was valid and false otherwise.

Parameters

Field Type
command string
description string
func Lua Function (string message) -> bool

Lua Example

function on_test_command(msg)
    if msg == "on" then
        djui_chat_message_create("Test: enabled")
        return true
    elseif msg == "off" then
        djui_chat_message_create("Test: disabled")
        return true
    end
    return false
end

hook_chat_command("test", "[on|off] turn test on or off", on_hide_and_seek_command)

hook_on_sync_table_change

hook_on_sync_table_change() allows Lua mods to react to sync table changes.

  • syncTable parameter must be a sync table, e.g. gGlobalSyncTable, gPlayerSyncTable[], or one of their child tables.
  • field parameter must be one of the fields in the SyncTable.
  • tag parameter can be any type, and is automatically passed to the callback.
  • func parameter must be a function with three parameters: tag, oldVal, and newVal.
