[HELP] Nightvision mask

[Rivecoder]

I know i can just add the tag "nightvision" and the mask will work, however i'm looking for a way to get a different colourcube and not that strange negative color effect moggles have

I rather not to add a light, I'd really like the real nightvision, how could I be able to do that? i'm still newbie with this kind of stuff

Sorry for bad english tho

I'm actually trying to do something similar for a mod I've been repairing, though I don't know enough about lua yet to do it.

 

The easiest way to do it should be to inject your custom nightvision values into components/playervision.lua with a tag that you can put in your modded item. This is how it is done in-game for non-player prefabs (e.g. the nightvision and goggles tags). If I find out how to do it, I'll post the solution here.
 

For example, I want to try create a custom "gearvision" tag and give it nightvision and a custom colour cube. I understand how to set this up correctly from within components/playervision.lua, but I have no idea how to get it to behave correctly outside of that file.

Is there a way to set this up in either modmain.lua, the prefab file or through a custom component?

 

I've been searching for a solution, but all the examples I could find only work for modded characters (which already reference components/playervision.lua).

This is the current gears_hat_goggles prefab file:

	--Asset("IMAGE", "images/colour_cubes/goggles_on_cc.tex"),
	--Asset("IMAGE", "images/colour_cubes/goggles_off_cc.tex"),
}

	local fin = SpawnPrefab("ruins_battery")
	fin.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())	
    inst:Remove()
end

	if inst.components.equippable ~= nil and inst.components.equippable:IsEquipped() then
		local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem ~= nil and inst.components.inventoryitem.owner or nil
		if owner ~= nil then
			goggles_turnoff(owner)
		end
	end
	inst:Remove()
end

		inst.components.fueled:StartConsuming()        
	end

	local function onunequip(inst, owner)
		owner.AnimState:Hide("HAT")
		owner.AnimState:Hide("HAT_HAIR")
	
		if owner:HasTag("player") then
			owner.AnimState:Show("HEAD")
			owner.AnimState:Hide("HEAD_HAIR")
		end
		
		inst.components.fueled:StopConsuming()      
	end
	
	local function goggles_onequip(inst, owner)
        onequip(inst, owner)
		owner.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve_DLC001/common/moggles_on")
    end

    local function goggles_onunequip(inst, owner)
        onunequip(inst, owner)
		owner.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve_DLC001/common/moggles_off")
    end
	
	local inst = CreateEntity()

	inst:AddTag("gearvision")
	inst:AddTag("goggles") 	

	inst.entity:AddTransform()
	inst.entity:AddAnimState()
	inst.entity:AddNetwork()
	
	MakeInventoryPhysics(inst) 

The current WIP mod is attached below.

If anyone is able to help us with this, that'd be amazing.

Bumping this.

I've been looking around for a solution to this, but I don't think there's a way I can do it without help at my current skill level. 

The two potential routes I can think of are:

1. Using AddComponentPostInit in the modmain to set up my custom 'Gearvision' values in components/playervision.lua. 
2. Finding a way to reference components.playervision properly.
