Custom Character Crash On World Loading

[Fredson]

Hello!

I,ve imported a DS character to DST and without his prefabs and componets it works well but when i add them i get this:
 

Disabling Custom because it had an error.

[string "../mods/Custom/modmain.lua"]:40: attempt to index global 'player' (a nil value)

What is wrong with it ?

[Aquaterion]

Well it seems like you have a problem with "player" on line 40, in modmain.lua but without posting the code, I doubt you'll get that much help.

@Fredson, You can't use AddSimPostInit for this. The player doesn't exist yet when the Sim is initialized, and as you're finding from your error, there's no argument being passed to your function (that's why player is nil). Instead, you should probably just be putting that code directly into the character's prefab.

 

Also, you should look at some DST character prefab files, you just have fn in yours, and that needs to be split into common_postinit and master_postinit.

:/ the thing is i dont know how to do it, im beginning in this, i followed the extended character tutorial to import a character from DS, and that character has a sweater switch component

i have fixed the prefab:

but still crashes

 

[rezecib]

Well... I think this isn't a good starter project. You will have to do quite a bit of work to get character-specific recipes/recipetabs working, and the recipe system right now totally bugs out if you have more than one recipe mod. But if you do get back to it later, you can't have recipes in character prefabs anymore, because the recipe table needs to be the same for everyone (so you put them in the modmain instead).

 

Also, since you removed sSwitch, you should comment out or remove the AddSimPostInit.

 

I don't know why the sweaterswitch needs a call outside of the prefab like that, but I guess there's probably a reason. Hard to say where and how to place it without seeing that component.

[Fredson]

so the sweater function cannot work in DST ?

btw heres the component:
 

 

local Sweater = Class(function(self, inst)    self.inst = instself.fLoad = falseself.sName = ""self.sweaters = {"bal", "ber", "bol", "clo", "cre", "hea", "ind", "lla", "mab", "meo", "mus", "not", "sco", "sta", "umb"}end)function Sweater:SetSweater(name)GetPlayer().AnimState:SetBuild("mabel_"..name)self.sName = nameendfunction Sweater:RanSweater()if self.fLoad == false thenself.sName = self.sweaters[math.random(#self.sweaters)]GetPlayer().AnimState:SetBuild("mabel_"..self.sName)self.fLoad = trueendendfunction Sweater:OnSave()local data ={fLoad = self.fLoad,sName = self.sName}return dataendfunction Sweater:OnLoad(data)    if data.fLoad thenself.fLoad = data.fLoadself.sName = data.sNameGetPlayer().AnimState:SetBuild("mabel_"..self.sName)endendreturn Sweater

 

[rezecib]

@Fredson, Oh... I think the author just wanted it to run after the OnLoad. So the easy solution is to put it in the OnLoad instead...

function Sweater:OnLoad(data)    if data.fLoad then        self.fLoad = data.fLoad        self.sName = data.sName        self.inst.AnimState:SetBuild("mabel_"..self.sName)    end    self:RanSweater()end

Also, wherever you see GetPlayer() you'll have to change it. Inside the sweaterswitch component, it should be using self.inst instead, but elsewhere it will vary.

[Fredson]

ok so replace GetPlayer in component for self.inst and the onload where do i put it ? (sorry, like i said im new to the components)
 

[rezecib]

@Fredson, The OnLoad is already there in your component. I just edited it a little.

[Fredson]

ok, and this goes in prefabs right ? but in any order ?
 

AddSimPostInit(sSwitch)AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterbal')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterber')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterbol')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterclo')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatercre')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterhea')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterind')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterlla')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermab')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermeo')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermus')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaternot')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatersco')AddPrefabPostInit('sweatersta')AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterumb')AddComponentPostInit('sweaterswitch')AddModCharacter("mabel")AddSimPostInit(pcHat)function sSwitch(player)    if player.components.sweaterswitch then        player.components.sweaterswitch:RanSweater()    endend

 

[rezecib]

AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterbal') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterber') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterbol') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterclo') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatercre') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterhea') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterind') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterlla') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermab') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermeo') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatermus') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaternot') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatersco') AddPrefabPostInit('sweatersta') AddPrefabPostInit('sweaterumb')

You don't need to do any of this. Although it does seem like the function is saying it's adding the prefab after initialization, what it's actually doing is adding a post-initialization function to a prefab (or component). So if you're not giving it a function as the second argument, it's not really doing anything.

 

Edit: Going back and looking at the modmain, it looks like the original author did this in place of declaring them in the PrefabFiles table, which is definitely the nicer way to make sure they get loaded:

PrefabFiles = {	"sweaterbal",	"sweaterber",	"sweaterbol",	"sweaterclo",	"sweatercre",	"sweaterhea",}

... and so on

also in the crash made reference to another mod lines that said AddComponent

@Fredson, Recipe tabs are very difficult to add right now. I think the Tiny Tina mod adds one, so you can look at how that does it. And I think I said this before, but you can't have recipes in the prefab, they need to be in the modmain or the entire recipe system will break.

ok it doesnt crash anymore, but the sweatertab does not appear, this appears in tiny tina modmain.lua not sure if this is for the CUSTOM_RECIPETAB :

also, were should i put this ? 
 

inst:AddComponent("sweaterswitch")

it was written before the sweater recipes
