Create custom quickhack

In this page, you will be able to follow a small tutorial about making your own quickhack in JSON and play it with Cyberscript.

It will be an long but fully complete tutorial. At the end you will be able to play the described quickhack.

To start, you need:

• 📄 Text editor : VS code, Notepad (hard but possible) or Notepad ++ (my favorite). Along with Notepad++ you need a Json Plugin for it as well.
• ✍️ Knowing fundamentals of JSON (read it, it's easy 😀 ) here
• 💯 Read the fundamental about Cyberscript: Scripting Basics
• ✔ an JSON validator website (for be sure that your json is not malformatted, because it will not compile if) JSONlint
• 🧠 a Brain, that work not that bad :)
• 🥇 Cyberpunk Game with Cyberscript installed and working
• ⏲ Patience, you will discover a new thing. It require patience and trial and error before it works.

Ok now I will assume you have it all. let's start !

📁 Introduction

We assume here that you already create an mod folder
Now let's go deeper! We will create .... quickhack !

⏏ Create an quickhack

📂 Setup the folder

First : in your mod folder, create an folder named "quickhack". It will contain every quickhack script of your mod. Logic !
In this folder, create a JSON text file, like for example : myquickhack.json

Open it with your text editor of choice.

💀 Write the quickhack skeleton

Now we have a blank page. But don't worry, we will fill it step by step. Let's talk about quickhack structure :

An quickhack script has several things :

• A name
• A tag
• A display
• several triggers (what will unlock the interact)
• triggers requirement (in which order trigger need to be fulfilled to unlock the interact)
• an action list : some action you will perform when you hit the interact key

Now let's make it into a JSON :

{
	"tag": "myquickhack",
	"icon": "UIIcon.quickhack_icebreaker",
	"title": "My Hack",
	"titlealternative": "",
	"description": "My amazing hack",
	"trigger": {
		"auto": {
			"name": "auto"
		}

	},
	"requirement": [
		["auto"]
	],
	"inactiveReason": "My inactive reasons",
	"unlocktrigger": {
		"auto": {
			"name": "auto"
		}

	},
	"unlockrequirement": [
		["auto"]
	],
	"actiontype": 5,
	"cost": 3,
	"uploadtime": 2,
	"duration": 10,
	"icelevelvisible": true,
	"iceLevel": 13,
	"quality": 1,
	"isinstant": false,
	"cooldown": 0,
	"networkbreached": true,
	"action": [{
		"name": "notify",
		"value": "Haxiing...."
	}]
}

Test your quickhack !

Copy your whole mod folder in (GOG or steam game folder)/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/

so it should be in our case (GOG or steam game folder)/Cyberpunk 2077/bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/mods/myAmazingmod

the structure of the folder should be

📂myAmazingmod

├── 📃 desc.json
├── 📃 init.lua
├── 📁 libs
├── 📁 scripts
	└── 📁 quickhack
	    └── 📃 myquickhack.json

Then load your game. Load a save, go to Pause Menu, go to Mod , Go to Cyberscript mod Manager and enable myAmazingmod. MAKE SURE to have Auto refresh on!

Then go to see Rogue, open your journal and look under the "Available " section. You will see your interact !

Enjoy ! 🤠
