How can I make alterations to StandardMonsterPlugin?

[Joker3060]

Hey,

I'm finally getting around to customizing TH and am running into a small challenge.

I'd like to alter StandardMonsterPlugin so that the color for Juggernaut elites is red.
I know i need my own EliteJuggernautDecorator and alter PaintWorld to use it.

But how i get form an AliveMonsters to the MonsterAffix.Juggernaut?
Is there a documentation of the AliveMonnster class somewher?

Next step would then to make a plugin out of this.... in case somebody wants to help with this right away as well

Thanks,
Joker

There is no manual or documentation, we have all learned by consulting the interfaces\ folder, doing many tests, and analyzing the code of other plugins: fortunately TH includes many, they are a base, a reference on how to program them, but also take a look at other plugins, for this case i recommend MonsterCirclePlugin (CB), EliteBarPlugin (Gigi) , DangerousAffixMonsterPlugin (Jack) ..

You must use Rarity y AffixSnoList (IMonster)

	foreach (var monster in Hud.Game.AliveMonsters)
	{
		if (monster.Rarity == ActorRarity.Rare)   // Elite 
		{
			if (monster.AffixSnoList.Any(a => a.Affix == MonsterAffix.Juggernaut))  // Jugger
			{
				DECORATORJUGGER.Paint(layer, monster, monster.FloorCoordinate, string.Empty); 
			}				
		}
	}

Thanks a lot

Yeah - I've been looking at plugins from you and Gigi.. But I've never used the lamba-expression stuff and these are my very first lines in C#, so I'm struggling on all ends

I copied and renamed the altered plugin and deactivated the "old" version in the customize function.
is there a more elegant way then copy-pasting existing code that you could point me towards ?
(it seemed to me that this is the same thing you are doing in OtherShrinePlugin... but maybe I'm missing something)

It depends on how many things or what you want to change. Sometimes it is enough to disable or redefine a part using custom code.

yes that's what i did in that plugin
