Dumb question about fueled light sources

[pikafan8]

I'm going to make this quick.

When I save and exit the game, my item's fuel percentage goes back up to 100%.

local assets={    Asset("ANIM", "anim/flareblade.zip"),    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_flareblade.zip"),    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/flareblade.xml"),    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/flareblade.tex"),}prefabs = {}local function FuelFX(inst)	local fx = SpawnPrefab("statue_transition_2")	if fx then	    fx.Transform:SetPosition(inst:GetPosition():Get())	    fx.AnimState:SetScale(1,2,1)	end	fx = SpawnPrefab("statue_transition")	if fx then	    fx.Transform:SetPosition(inst:GetPosition():Get())	    fx.AnimState:SetScale(1,1.5,1)	endendlocal function turnon(inst)    if not inst.components.fueled:IsEmpty() then        if inst.components.fueled then            inst.components.fueled:StartConsuming()        end    end    inst.Light:Enable(true)    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/torch_swing")    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/torch_LP", "flare")endlocal function turnoff(inst)    if inst.components.fueled then        inst.components.fueled:StopConsuming()            end        inst.Light:Enable(false)    FuelFX(inst)    inst.SoundEmitter:KillSound("flare")    inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/fireOut")endlocal function ondropped(inst)    turnoff(inst)    turnon(inst)	endlocal function onpickup(inst)    turnon(inst)endlocal function onputininventory(inst)    turnoff(inst)endlocal function nofuel(inst)    local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem and inst.components.inventoryitem.owner    if owner then        owner:PushEvent("torchranout", {torch = inst})    end    turnoff(inst)endlocal function takefuel(inst)    if inst.components.equippable and inst.components.equippable:IsEquipped() then        turnon(inst)    endendlocal function fuelupdate(inst)    local fuelpercent = inst.components.fueled:GetPercent()    inst.Light:SetIntensity(Lerp(0.3, 0.5, fuelpercent))    inst.Light:SetRadius(Lerp(2, 4, fuelpercent))    inst.Light:SetFalloff(.8)endlocal function fn()     local function OnEquip(inst, owner)        if not inst.components.fueled:IsEmpty() then             turnon(inst)	else	     turnoff(inst)	end	owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_flareblade", "swap_flareblade")        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")         owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")     end     local function OnUnequip(inst, owner)	turnoff(inst)	        owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")    end     local inst = CreateEntity()    local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()    local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()    local sound = inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)         anim:SetBank("flareblade")    anim:SetBuild("flareblade")    anim:PlayAnimation("idle")    inst:AddTag("flareblade")    inst:AddTag("light")     inst:AddComponent("inspectable")         inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "flareblade"    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/flareblade.xml"	    inst:AddComponent("weapon")    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(54)    -----    inst:AddComponent("tool")    inst.components.tool:SetAction(ACTIONS.CHOP, 1.25)		     inst:AddComponent("equippable")    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( OnEquip )    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( OnUnequip )	    inst.components.inventoryitem:SetOnDroppedFn(ondropped)    inst.components.inventoryitem:SetOnPutInInventoryFn(onputininventory)    	    inst:AddComponent("fueled")    inst.components.fueled.fueltype = "NIGHTMARE"    inst.components.fueled:InitializeFuelLevel(TUNING.LANTERN_LIGHTTIME / 4)    inst.components.fueled:SetDepletedFn(nofuel)    inst.components.fueled:SetUpdateFn(fuelupdate)    inst.components.fueled.ontakefuelfn = takefuel    inst.components.fueled.accepting = true    inst.entity:AddLight()    inst.Light:SetColour(187/255, 15/255, 23/255)    fuelupdate(inst)    return instendreturn  Prefab("common/inventory/flareblade", fn, assets, prefabs)

I know it has to be something dumb.

not dumb. just simple.  you need to define an onsave and onload pair of functions for your object to make it actually save its state.  any prefab with a variable state already does this so there are many examples.

@seronis

Hmm, but doesn't the fueled component handle that? I checked some armor prefabs and they don't have an OnSave or OnLoad, but the armor component does.

Unless it's inconsistent throughout prefabs/components.

 

Just checked mininglantern too, it doesn't have an onsave. The onload function isn't checked the fuel either.

[seronis]

inst.components.fueled:InitializeFuelLevel(TUNING.LANTERN_LIGHTTIME / 4)

 

But your constructor is specifically setting all objects it creates to have fuel. So if you want saved/loaded ones to have "other than refueled" behavior you need to do it manually. Or not set fuel in the constructor any more. Possible im misunderstanding. I dont have the prefabs on this computer to check the vanilla files

I finally got it working!

 

All I needed to do was simply, just...

inst.OnPreload = (inst.components.fueled:OnLoad(data))inst.OnSave = (inst.components.fueled:OnSave())

I fear it might be slightly ineffective, though.
