Joy toils

[skullywag]

Anyone have any info on these?

Im stuck trying to just extend the JobDriver_WatchBuilding so my pawns only stand in 1 spot near the building (interaction cell if possible) but ive never got to grips with toils, the joy ones are even more alien to me.

Mmh, I just updated the mechanoid terraformer mod.
You may have a look at the JobDriver_ScoutStrangeArtifact for example: it tells a pawn to go near the terraformer and wait for a few seconds.

What do you want to do exactly?

I've been monkeying around with the toils, jobs, work, etc to do a few things.  One of the basic goals while I worked on figuring it out was simply duplicating mining.  This then morphed into a rough rock wall->finished stoneblocks wall "Smooth Wall" designator.

The JobDriver where the toils are created:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

using RimWorld;
using UnityEngine;
using Verse;
using Verse.AI;
using Verse.Sound;

using CommunityCoreLibrary;

namespace cmm
{
public class JobDriver_SmoothWall : JobDriver
{
private const int TicksPerStrike = 100;
private const int DamagePerStrike = 80;
private int minerTicks;
private int nextMinerStrike;
private Thing mineable;

protected override IEnumerable<Toil> MakeNewToils()
{
// Just on the off-chance the rock is on fire...
this.FailOnBurningImmobile( TargetIndex.A );
// Reserve the target
yield return Toils_Reserve.Reserve( TargetIndex.A );
// Go to the target
Toil toilGoto = Toils_Goto.GotoCell( TargetIndex.A, PathMode.Touch );
// Fail going to the target if it becomes unreachable
ToilFailConditions.FailOn< Toil >( toilGoto, ( Func< bool > )(() =>
{
if( Reachability.CanReach( pawn, (TargetInfo)TargetLocA, PathMode.Touch, Danger.None ) )
return false;
return true;
}));
yield return toilGoto;
// Now the work toil itself
Toil toilWork = new Toil
{
// Continue until done
defaultCompleteMode = ToilCompleteMode.Never,
// When the job starts...
initAction = new Action(() =>
{
// Get the rock resource
mineable = MineUtility.MineableInCell( TargetA.Cell );
// Get this miners speed based on stat
nextMinerStrike = (int)( (double)TicksPerStrike / (double)pawn.GetStatValue( StatDefOf.MiningSpeed, true ) );
minerTicks = 0;
} ),
// The work tick
tickAction = new Action(() =>
{
minerTicks += 1;
if( minerTicks < nextMinerStrike ) return;
// Reset counter, damage rock
minerTicks = 0;
mineable.HitPoints -= DamagePerStrike;
} )
};
// When should we stop?
toilWork.endConditions.Add( ( Func< JobCondition > )(() =>
{
// Go until the rock is fully damaged
if( mineable.HitPoints > 0 ) return JobCondition.Ongoing;
return JobCondition.Succeeded;
} ) );
// Do something when done
toilWork.AddFinishAction( new Action(() =>
{
// Clear the designation at this cell
Common.RemoveDesignationOfAt( DesignationDefs.SmoothWall, TargetA.Cell );
// Better have associated stone blocks...
string blocksDef = "Blocks" + mineable.def.defName;
ThingDef stoneBlocks = DefDatabase<ThingDef>.GetNamed( blocksDef, true );
// Replace the rock with a stone wall
GenSpawn.Spawn( ThingMaker.MakeThing( ThingDefs.WallStone, stoneBlocks ), TargetA.Cell ).SetFaction( Faction.OfColony );
} ) );
// Some fun sounds while working
ToilEffects.WithSustainer( toilWork, ( Func< SoundDef > )(() =>
{
return SoundDefs.Recipe_Sculpt;
} ) );
// Some fun effects while working
ToilEffects.WithEffect( toilWork, "Mine", TargetIndex.A );
yield return toilWork;
// And we're done.
yield break;
}
}
}

Note:  My designator code for this does all the sanity checks.  By the time the above code is executed, everything should be in a valid state.  eg, I filter to make sure that only mineables that have an assocated stoneblock def are valid (so no steel, plasteel, etc), etc.

Use and abuse.  It took me about a week figure out the basics of how it worked, I'm sure you will be faster as you have a lot more experience with RimWorld modding than I do.  Actually, I know this because I've decompiled some of your mods to see how you did things.  I mean, I did nothing, nothing of the sort. 

Edit:  As to toils specific to the joy system, I am yet to delve deeply but it's on the list as I have plans of my own to extend the available options.
