In Game Mod Settings

Creating your own in-game mod options is very simple. All it involves is using certain ModSetting(thing) classes in your Main BloonsMod extending class instead of regular data types, and just using them as values like normal in your code.

All ModSettings

Any ModSetting(thing) class is created with a default value to use. They also all have a displayName that you can set, which by default will just be the name of the Field that you're assigning it to.

Also, all mod setting classes use a cool C# feature called Implicit Operators. This means that C# will be able to automatically convert them into the types they represent without you having to do anything.

But, in the couple situations where that won't work, you can always use their GetValue() method.

ModSettingInt

A ModSettingInt represents a setting for a whole number. You can specify the minValue and maxValue if you like.

You can also set isSlider to true to have the setting display as a slider instead of a text entry. If you do this, you must set the minValue and maxValue options.

ModSettingDouble

The exact same as ModSettingInt but allowing for non-whole numbers like floats and doubles.

ModSettingBool

A ModSettingBool can just be either true or false. You can use isButton to make it display as a button instead of a checkbox.

ModSettingString

A ModSettingString holds a string, obviously. You can use validation to make the input box only accept certain characters.

Examples

public class Main : BloonsTD6Mod
{
    private static readonly ModSettingInt Cost = 500;  // implict operator in action

    private static readonly ModSettingDouble Range = new ModSettingDouble(50.0)
    {
        displayName = "Tower Range",
        minValue = 0.0,
        maxValue = 100.0,
        isSlider = true
    };

    private static readonly ModSettingBool SuperSecretSetting = false;

    private static readonly ModSettingString Message = new ModSettingString("hey")
    {
        validation = ModSettingString.Alphanumeric
    };

    /* Can just use these values like normal in the code */
}
