Hello! I'm a modder who's trying to clean up the modding tutorials pages, which are quite out-of-date.

If you like my contributions on this site please check out my [Github] and [Steam Workshop profile].

== Plague Gun (1.1)/Introduction ==

This tutorial is a rewrite of the [[Plague Gun/Introduction|original]] by Jecrell ({{LudeonThread|33219}}), updated to 1.1 by dninemfive.

=== Introduction ===

In this tutorial we will be using most of the tools available to a Rimworld modder to create a custom weapon, known as the Plague Gun.

This weapon will, when its shots hit a living target, have a chance to apply the Plague hediff ("health difference") to that target.

To do this, we will create XML `ThingDefs` for the gun and projectile, create a C# assembly which determines what happens when the projectile hits a target, and link that behavior back to the XML.

This tutorial will assume a basic familiarity with XML and C# syntax. It should be simple enough to follow if you're only a beginner. 

If you have no XML or C# experience, there are good tutorials for XML [https://www.w3schools.com/xml/ here] and C# [https://www.learncs.org/ here].

=== The Completed Mod ===

TODO: fork and update the repo, link here.

Will be filled in once I have separate pages for these.
