is there a way to give my character night vision above a specific sanity?

i'm new to coding, but one of my character's perks is that he has night vision; however, only when his sanity is above 70%. Is there a way to have night vision be toggled above a specific sanity? I'm not sure how to even begin with this.

ty in advance!

In your character's postinit.  If you want him to immediately start/spawn with it, also include the night vision thing turning on in the post init. 

inst:ListenForEvent(
    "sanitydelta",
    function(data)
        if data
        then
            if data.newpercent > 0.7 and data.oldpercent <= 0.7
            then
                inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)
            elseif data.newpercent <= 0.7 and data.oldpercent > 0.7
            then
                inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)
            end
        end
    end
)

hi, thanks for your help, but putting this code into the postinit seems to make the mod crash - "variable 'inst' not found"

'inst' refers to your player prefab.

hi, 

I apologize but I'm not quite understanding what you mean; I'm very new to coding. does this variable need to be declared somehow in the character name's prefab file?

thanks so much for your patience

You probably want to do: 


function(inst, data)

 

I put in  

    function(inst, data)
        if data
        then
            if data.newpercent > 0.7 and data.oldpercent <= 0.7
            then
                inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)
            elseif data.newpercent <= 0.7 and data.oldpercent > 0.7
            then
                inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)
            end
        end
    end
)

but then the server crashed, telling me that a name was expected after the word function. So i named it something and played around with it and got it not to crash, but the code didn't have any effect on the night vision.
 

I think I'll simply leave the night vision unaffected by sanity; it seems like too big a chore for a newbie coder like me. Thanks for taking the time to help me, though. I really appreciate it!

That doesn't make any sense. It would be better if you posted the errors you get, because some times you shouldn't blindly listen to them.

Also, you didn't post your full code this time, so it looks like you removed the ListenForEvent line. We can help better, if we have the full mod and the full error logs.

ok! I'll go ahead and go step-by-step on everything I did, and include the files and error messages upon crashes.
This is the original code, with just the night vision from the thread you linked. I used that code, but changed it to use woodie's beaver form night vision instead of making it look like there is a full moon every night. Everything worked fine; no crashes, and the night vision showed up (tested it on a Lights Out world).

This crashed the server upon attempting to enter, bringing up this error message

So then I tried the same code, but I removed the :"inst: ListenForEvent" portion, along with the sanitydelta portion, and added "inst" before "data":

That crashed the server, telling me the function needed a name:

So I named it something random; I think it was something like "NightVisionSanity" or something like that:

return MakePlayerCharacter("otus", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)

That didn't crash the server, but the sanity has no effect on the night vision: 

Spoiler

image.thumb.png.323846c6c5c17986368ec35333177319.png

I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that "ListenForEvent" is not there, but every time I try to include it, it seems to crash the server... and being so new at this I have no clue how to place it into the code or use it.

Please let me know if you need anything else aside from the file text and error messages!

You can't just paste in code anywhere in the file, like you did with Carl's code-snippet. It has to be in the right place, in order to be in the right context. Go back to the code you had before you added Carl's code. Then add Carl's code at the bottom of your master_postinit function. That should work.

inst:ListenForEvent(

        if data
        then
            if data.newpercent > 0.7 and data.oldpercent <= 0.7

                inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)
            end
        end
    end
)

this, under the master_postinit, worked; thanks for your help.
