Manual Crafting Setup

If you're looking for the automatic placement system, please refer to the next section of the documentation.

This guide explains how to manually create crafting tables in Quasar Crafting Creator using code. This method is ideal for developers who prefer full control over placement, job restrictions, and recipe management directly from the configuration files.

Configuration Example

All crafting tables are defined inside the Config.CraftingTables array. Each table can have its own location, object model, job requirements, access levels, and crafting recipes.

This method gives you full customization over:

• The crafting bench object used in the world.

• The area where players can interact with it.

• Job and grade-based access.

• Items available to craft and their required materials.

• Crafting time, level requirements, and experience earned.

Config.CraftingTables = {
    {
        id = 'craft-1',                                -- Unique identifier (must be different for each table)
        label = 'Item Crafting Bench',                 -- UI label
        coords = vec4(209.40, -753.70, 46.07, 252.28), -- Table position and heading
        size = 5.0,                                    -- Interaction radius
        object = 'gr_prop_gr_bench_02b',               -- Prop model
        job = 'police',                                -- Required job (nil = public)
        grades = {1, 2, 3},                            -- Allowed grades (nil = all grades)
        recipes = {
            {
                name = 'weapon_pistol',                -- Item to craft
                duration = 700,                        -- Crafting time (ms)
                price = 0,                             -- Price (optional)
                level = 15,                            -- Required crafting level
                earn = 0,                              -- XP gained after crafting
                ingredients = {
                    steel = 80,
                    aluminum = 60,
                    rubber = 20
                }
            },
            -- Add more recipes here
        }
    },
    {
        id = 'craft-2',
        label = 'Attachment Crafting Bench',
        coords = vec4(217.83, -731.64, 46.07, 249.44),
        size = 5.0,
        object = 'gr_prop_gr_bench_01b',
        job = nil,               -- Public access
        grades = nil,
        recipes = {
            {
                name = 'pistol_extendedclip',
                duration = 450,
                price = 0,
                level = 4,
                earn = 10,
                ingredients = {
                    metalscrap = 165,
                    steel = 285,
                    rubber = 75
                }
            }
            -- More recipes...
        }
    }
}

Object & Camera Offsets

Each crafting object may require adjustments for correct positioning and camera perspective. These offsets are configured using Config.ObjectOffsets.

Config.ObjectOffsets = {
    ['gr_prop_gr_bench_02b'] = {
        camera = vec3(-1.5, 0.0, 1.5),       -- Camera angle during crafting
        object = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.4)         -- Object elevation offset
    },
    ['gr_prop_gr_bench_01b'] = {
        camera = vec3(-1.5, 0.0, 1.5),
        object = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 1.4)
    }
}

If you use a custom object, simply add it to this table with the proper offsets.
