Upgrade like system.

[Aquaterion]

For eating souls does nothing, make sure the if statements say food.prefab == "revenge" for example and not food.prefab == "bluesoul" if you did the last change to rename them to their power.

For the tab issue, you didn't add soultab.xml/.tex to the Asset table.

As for the first issue.. im not sure? does ur character have "soul_builder" tag?

 

[TheBigDeal]

I'll just share this code bit:

	local eater = inst.components.eater
	table.insert(eater.preferseating, FOODTYPE.SOULS)
	table.insert(eater.caneat, FOODTYPE.SOULS)
	eater:SetOnEatFn(
    function(inst, food)
		if food.components.edible and food.components.edible.foodtype == FOODTYPE.SOULS then
        	--inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("some_sound_here_for_consuming_souls")
		
			if food.prefab == "determination" then
				local percent = inst.components.health:GetPercent()
				inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + 50)
				inst.components.health:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "bravery" then
				local percent = inst.components.health:GetPercent()
				inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + 30)
				inst.components.health:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "integrity" then
				local percent = inst.components.health:GetPercent()
				inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + 30)
				inst.components.health:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "kindness" then
				local percent = inst.components.health:GetPercent()
				inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + 10)
				inst.components.health:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "patience" then
				local percent = inst.components.hunger:GetPercent()
				inst.components.hunger:SetMax(inst.components.hunger.max + 20)
				inst.components.hunger:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "perseverance" then
				local percent = inst.components.health:GetPercent()
				inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + 25)
				inst.components.health:SetPercent(percent)
			elseif food.prefab == "justice" then
				if inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier == nil then
					inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
				end
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier + 0.25
			elseif food.prefab == "revenge" then
				if inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier == nil then
					inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
				end
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier + 0.50
			end
        end
    end
)
	inst:AddTag(FOODTYPE.SOULS.."_eater")

So yeah they all == the right thing.

 

Icon works fine now.

 

And yeah the character has the soul_builder tag.

[Aquaterion]

You could either add some prints in the SetOnEatFn function. also could u link the souls.lua again if that doesnt work

[TheBigDeal]

Alright, here is souls.lua:

Also, forgot to say, it doesn't seem that the print works either.

[Aquaterion]

atm the souls are called "redsoul", "bluesoul", etc. So you either change those to named as their powers like so;

 

--change this(in souls.lua): 
return Prefab(color.."soul", fn, assets)
--to:
return Prefab(power, fn, assets)

or.. you change every thing else in recipes and ur character.lua to reference them as food.prefab == "redsoul" and such

Alright, works 100% now, all souls give what they should, but I was wondering, is there anything i can have them buff besides sanity, hunger and damage, since there are 8 souls It would be nice for each to do something different.

shoulda taught about that before you added them haha..

lets see.. maybe speed boost.. absorption? maybe bravery gives a random 1?

Not so much speed boost, he's a pretty big, and therefore slow character so I don't really want that to change, absorption would be nice but he'd already be able to get quite a bit of health, I still gotta think of very hard recipes for these souls, or better yet would be a way for them to be randomly found in the world.

 

Is there, probably a long shot but, a way to make it so once a player dies instead of becoming a ghost he'd be instantly revived at a location. I was thinking that once you eat the determination soul, it will place down some sorta marker maybe which will do just that, and after one use will go away. Also somehow limit there to only be one of those... I can see it being sorta easy and sorta hard at the same time...

 

Once more thanks for all the help. I can't wait to finish this mod.

[Aquaterion]

Yea it's possible, I would help you right now, but I'm about to go to sleep, if no 1 helps you by then, I'll prob help you out tomorrow

So I met with my friend who is pretty much my art person for the mod and we discussed what each soul will do:

Determination [Red Soul] - On eating, spawns a SAVE Point, where once the player dies, will instantly respawn. Once respawned the SAVE point will delete itself, only one save point can be on the map at once. Will have to find a way so if another red soul is eaten it won't be used if there already is a save point, or just have it overwrite the last one.

Bravery - Higher Absorption

Integrity - Higher Attack Speed, if that's even a thing

Patience - Has a chance to double drops up to 75%

Justice - Deals more damage to evil monsters (Only one I can think of atm is hounds but i know there are more)

Perseverance - Higher Max Sanity

Kindness - More Hunger

Revenge - Can only be consumed once, very hard to get, creates a new meter on how many things the player kills, the more kills, the more damage the soul will give to the player, also will passively shoot out from player damaging enemies (rarely)

 

Hopefully all of this is possible and not too hard, this is more of a wish list that we came up with lol.

Also to add, i realized a pretty big problem that I have no idea how I did not notice before.

All of my items, may it be the trident or souls, do not appear while on the ground, so something it wrong there.

 

If i come up with more things I'll edit this post.

 

EDIT: I was thinking about making the soul's stack-able just because having more than one would be very annoying if they were not, so i put the following:

		inst:AddComponent("stackable")
		
		inst.components.stackable.maxsize = 5

But it gives this error:

As for the stacksize, for some reason you can only do 10, 20 or 40 stacksize.

 

Btw, I wouldn't mess with attack speed, as modifying it to be higher even slightly, could make you easily stun lock mobs

The revenge perk, UI is pretty complicated to make in DST due to having to do net variables and stuff.

How about instead for the revenge perk, if you get hit by a mob(maybe depending on how much damage it did to you) you do extra damage to it. so it would never work on passive mobs since they dont attack back, and such.

 

Doubling Drops, I never really messed around with loottables, not sure how easy it is to achieve that

 

Justice should be easy, just gotta know what monster tags you wanna effect I guess.. But does this last forever? Does consuming multiple increase the damage?

Wow, that worked perfectly, Only thing to add, how would i make it so it sorta drops a object down, to mark the save point? And maybe give it a simply animation also.

 

As for the revenge, it would be hard for players to track that and make sure it is actually working, would it atleast be possible to do the part where the soul will passively attack enemies, if so I'd probably literally take the soul, texture and all and shoot it at enemies,.

 

We can replace double drops, and as for Justice it would probably last until death, unless a save point is used from determination.

as for the monsters, it would be any hostile mob, but not bosses:

 

[Aquaterion]

Revenge: By Passively attack enemies, do you mean an AoE DoT? or randomly shoot projectile out of you? As for tracking the buff, you could add some particles to the target(fx prefab)

Determination: You can create a prefab at looks like a marker and then just spawn it when you eat the soul, but atm it doesn't check if the player has another determination active, it just overwrites it so you'd have to check for that to make it despawn when a new 1 spawns.

Justice: What happens when you eat a second one?

 

 

[TheBigDeal]

In revenge i mean a projectile, and when you eat a second one it would probably deal more damage. up to a stack of maybe 4 souls. After 4 souls it can just replenish Health maybe.

Edited June 17, 2016 by TheBigDeal

[Aquaterion]

For some reason the revenge perk seems weird. I mean randomly shooting projectiles at entities? Maybe damage done to you is reflected or something? Random Projectiles dont scream "revenge"

Yeah, I agree but i'm not sure because the revenge soul is supposed to be the rarest and most powerful, and it's all about killing things alot so I'm not sure, the reflected idea isnt bad, but i'm not sure what else there can be.

If anything the reflected damage isn't a bad idea at all so maybe just use that for now, and once i release the mod maybe some ideas will come up then, but I still need to make 2 more items after these and finish the sprite, and with the 2 item's one is fire magic and i have no idea where to go with that really since it isn't exactly an object the character is holding but just... fire.

Also, I was about to start making the marker but I was just thinking and thought of some potential problems.

Firstly, would it be possible for it to show on the map?

Secondly, What resolution should it be, since i wouldn't be replacing a weapon or anything.

Thirdly, How would i add an animation to this object

Lastly, How would I get it to deploy when eaten and remove the last marker if it is being overridden.

[Aquaterion]

Can you post ur asgore.lua maybe there was some conflict with something you had before.

1. Yes

2. I'd say find something similar to what you're thinking, like if its gonna be like a slightly lit area like fireflies, you could do that, if its a floor marker than you could copy something like a pond.

3. Erm depends what you want.. with spriter

4. I can help you do that(by spawning it and teleporting it to the player when you eat the thing)

[TheBigDeal]

Yeah the firefly idea seems good, as well as emitting light is also a good idea. I'll also look into spriter later then, it'd only be like 2 frames, just rotating, it'll resemble this:

I'll start to make it now. Shouldn't take long

Also here is Asgore.lua, should have also said, it seems to happen when I attack a non-hostile mob, for example a beefalo.

Since I found another issue, I decided to just change it myself and send it;

Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
