Overview of the API

The mod itself uses the API to implement the Beam Drone (LaserDrone1) which is a custom entity along with its custom attack (FireLaser). This custom drone also has Option Support. Use it for reference on using the API.

• Setting up the drone using the provided DroneCatalog

myCustomDronesList = DroneCatalog.Initialize("com.awesome.mod.guid", someConfigFile);
DroneCatalog.SetupAll(myCustomDronesList);

• Creating a custom drone class by inheriting Drone

public class MyCustomDrone : Drone<MyCustomDrone>

• Accessing the instance of the singleton drone class

// This will only work after DroneCatalog.Initialize() is done
MyCustomDrone drone = MyCustomDrone.instance;
drone.enabled; // true or false

• Always use the base method when implementing the available virtual methods

protected override void SetupConfig()
{
    base.SetupConfig();
    // other code
}

// For PostSetup, it is ideal to call the base method last
protected override void PostSetup()
{
    // other code
    base.PostSetup();
}

• Executing code for all the Options of a drone

GradiusOption.instance.FireForAllOptions(droneBody, (option, behavior, target) =>
{
    new BulletAttack
    {
        owner = droneBody.gameObject,
        weapon = option,
        // remember to multiply damageMultiplier so that the config option for GradiusOption is respected for your custom drone
        damage = damage * coefficient * GradiusOption.instance.damageMultiplier,
        force = force * GradiusOption.instance.damageMultiplier, // do the same for force
        // other initialization here
    }.Fire();
});
