Making an item only holdable by a certain character

[Eevelion]

Hello, I'm working on a custom character and one of their perks is that they have a unique weapon, I'm trying to make it so that if the weapon is picked up by another player it is dropped or otherwise unusable, similarly to Lucy, I tried to poke into Lucy's code to see if I could find out what makes that work but was unable to glean what part is responsible for it.

I assumed this was the code for it but it crashes the game after the character is selected in a world

	inst._container = nil

    inst._oncontainerownerchanged = function(container)
        topocket(inst, container)
    end

    inst._oncontainerremoved = function()
        unstore(inst)
    end

    inst:ListenForEvent("onputininventory", topocket)
    inst:ListenForEvent("ondropped", toground)

Thank you for reading

[Kronas]

aw daang i really need to know that too

 i hope you get help soon xAx

[ZupaleX]

The answer is actually in the component sentientaxe

[Eevelion]

I was putzing around with the code trying to see what, if anything would stick and I think I kerfuffled everything, I also ended up calling the lucy_classified prefab even though I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what I'm trying to do, plus when I tried to remove the added code the game crashes on character select

[ZupaleX]

lucy_classified prefab is used for communication between the host and client purpose only and is irrelevant for what you want to achieve.

If you look into the other component linked to sentientaxe, which is possessedaxe.lua you will see a lot of functions that should help you see what to do.

Functions like

Spoiler

 

local function IsValidOwner(inst, owner)
    return owner:HasTag("woodcutter")
end

 

or

Spoiler

function PossessedAxe:LinkToPlayer(player)
    self:StopWaitingForPlayer()

    if self.player == player then
        return
    elseif self.player ~= nil then
        self.inst:RemoveEventCallback("onremove", self.onplayerremoved, self.player)
        self.inst:RemoveEventCallback("possessedaxe", self.onplayerpossessedaxe, self.player)
    end

    self.player = player
    if player == nil then
        self.userid = nil
        self.inst:PushEvent("axepossessedbyplayer", nil)
        return
    end
    self.userid = player.userid

    player:PushEvent("possessedaxe", self.inst)
    self.inst:ListenForEvent("onremove", self.onplayerremoved, player)
    self.inst:ListenForEvent("possessedaxe", self.onplayerpossessedaxe, player)
    self.inst:PushEvent("axepossessedbyplayer", player)
end

 

without forgetting

Spoiler

local function OnCheckOwner(inst, self)
    self.checkownertask = nil
    local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem:GetGrandOwner()
    if owner == nil or owner.components.inventory == nil then
        return
    elseif not IsValidOwner(inst, owner) then
        self:Drop()
        inst:PushEvent("axerejectedowner", owner)
    else
        local other = OwnerAlreadyHasPossessedAxe(inst, owner)
        if other ~= nil then
            self:Drop()
            other:PushEvent("axerejectedotheraxe", inst)
        elseif owner:HasTag("player") then
            self:LinkToPlayer(owner)
        end
    end
end

 

Hope these functions will show you the way.

 

EDIT: a small tip to make it easier to find your way around the DST code.

Download grepWin (http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/grepWin.html) and install it. Once you have this tool, you can look into some codes that you think is relevant for the task you try to achieve. Identify chunks and names of function or events which seems to be linked to your goal. Then open winGrep inside the folder

Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\data\scripts

and copy/paste what you want to look for in the search box. It will show you all the files which contains this piece of code. From there you can keep on investigating.

Tried running a very simplified version that I was hoping would run without doing all the checks for duplicates and the like but now I'm getting this error.

    scripts/update.lua:170 in () ? (Lua) <149-228>

This is the code for the component, aside from this the only other changes to the previous working build were that i add a call for the component in the item's prefab, and the "painter" tag in the character prefab

local function IsValidOwner(inst, owner)
    return owner:HasTag("painter")
end

local function OnCheckOwner(inst, self)
    self.checkownertask = nil
    local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem:GetGrandOwner()
    if owner == nil or owner.components.inventory == nil then
        return
    elseif not IsValidOwner(inst, owner) then
        self:Drop()
        end
    end
end

Would it be possible to get the locking working with a code this stripped down?

[ZupaleX]

The issue seems to at some point when you are trying to add a component.

Could you post more of your code? The chunk you posted looks legit.

Did you create such a component?

Yeah it's the one with the IsValidOwner function and everything

[ZupaleX]

could you link that file as well (the complete code inside)?

That was the entire code, as I said earlier, it's SUPER stripped down

[ZupaleX]

Yes but somehow you need to add that component, right?I mean, you need to register it, so it is a known component. If you have just this piece of code, you did not create a component.

Edited July 25, 2017 by ZupaleX

Alright, kinda let this sit a while but guess I'll ask now, what do I need to do to make the component a component? I added a little bit to it but it still doesn't have any effect

    self.checkownertask = nil

[ZupaleX]

Where did you put this piece of code?

Where do you use the local function OnCheckOwner?

[Eevelion]

the codes placed in a lua file named chosenweapon in the component folder

I don't really understand what you mean by where is it used? I tried figuring it out on my own by following the trail of stuff that calls it as far back as I can, but I'm still not getting any results and even if I am on the right trail I don't know how I would find what's causing issues

[ZupaleX]

Well there are a few things which are not right. I am even surprised you say it's doing nothing, I would expect it to crash.

In your OnChangeOwner, you define a local variable

self = inst.components.possessedaxe

which will be nil in your case as your item does not have that component. So then it should crash at the next line when you try to check if self has a sub-member called currentowner, as self is nil.

This would mean that this code is not even called.

Then in your prefab script you have all this unstore, topocket... functions which are creating event callback with an associated function inst._oncontainerownerchanged that I did not see defined anywhere.

If I were you,m I would put a bunch of print() in the functions you think should be called when you drop, put in inventory, etc... and see if these are displayed. You could like that track at which point your chain is broken.

When I said it did nothing I did mean it crashed, sorry for the lack of clarity, I haven't been reposting the crash log since as far as I'm aware it's identical to the one at: 

 

Thank you for pointing out that I left the possessedaxe component in there, I must have missed that, same with the oncontainerownerchanged bit, I added the following bits to the local function in the prefab

    inst._container = nil
	
	inst._oncontainerownerchanged = function(container)
        topocket(inst, container)
    end

and I changed

self = inst.components.possessedaxe

to

self = inst.components.chosenweapon

unfortunately it still crashes, how would I be able to use the Print()'s like you said, and where would I have to go to check if they're doing their job?

Actually comparing the crash logs I am noticing they are a little different now

here's the current crash log

inst:AddComponent("chosenweapon") should work better.

Notice how you wrote inst.AddComponent("chosenweapon") instead.

Here is a link explaining the difference between the 2 syntax.

Aaaaa thank you so much! After I changed it to inst:AddComponent all I needed to do was delete an extra end and now it loads up properly!

Still need to check if the item is unique to the character but I'm very glad it at least loads

Edit: Yup it works! Now I just have to work on everything else in the mod, hopefully I won't need to return to the forums for everything

Glad it worked.
