combat damage

[jkjkrules]

i'm trying to make a char mod that you can pick some of your attributes at the beginning It looks like it works for the hunger health and sanity but not combat damage.... This is part of the code i'm trying to use.

in modinfo.lua there's

configuration_options =
{
	{
		name = "health",
		label = "Max Health",
		options =	{
						{description = "100", data = 1},
						{description = "150", data = 2},
						{description = "175", data = 3},
						{description = "200", data = 4},

					},
		default = true,
	},
	{
		name = "hunger",
		label = "Max Hunger",
		options =	{
						{description = "100", data = 1},
						{description = "150", data = 2},
						{description = "175", data = 3},
						{description = "200", data = 4},
					},
		default = true,
	},
	{
		name = "sanity",
		label = "Max Sanity",
		options =	{
						{description = "100", data = 1},
						{description = "150", data = 2},
						{description = "175", data = 3},
						{description = "200", data = 4},
					},
		default = true,
	},
	{
		name = "attack",
		label = "Damage multiplier",
		options =	{
						{description = "100%", data = 1},
						{description = "150%", data = 2},
						{description = "175%", data = 3},
						{description = "200%", data = 4},
					},
		default = true,
	}
}

 in modmain.lua there's

if attack == 1 then --Tiny
    AddPlayerPostInit(function(player)
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1

	end)
	
	elseif attack ==2 then --Poor
    AddPlayerPostInit(function(player)
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.5
	
	end)
	
	elseif attack == 3 then --Large
    AddPlayerPostInit(function(player)
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.75
	
	end)
	
	elseif attack == 4 then --Lots
    AddPlayerPostInit(function(player)
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2

	end)
		
end

So I forgot to add 

 

local attack = GetModConfigData("attack")

 

but it crashes with that

[string "../mods/workshop-b/modmain.lua"]:110: attempt to index global 'inst' (a nil value)

LUA ERROR stack trceback:

That's an easy one: you named your parameter "player" instead of "inst"

You should really combine the things into one big AddPlayerPostInit, instead of creating a bunch of them. Just move all the if-statements into one big AddPlayerPostInit. Then it won't have to add 4 per player.

Thanks looks like that's working. 

The codes probably a big mess I really don't know what i'm doing i'm just messing around and pulling parts from other mods and trying to learn. 

"Just move all the if-statements into one big AddPlayerPostInit."  Not sure exactly what that means 

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	if damagemultiplier == 1 then --Tiny
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier =  1
		
		elseif damagemultiplier == 2 then --Poor
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.5
	
		elseif damagemultiplier == 3 then --Large
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.75

	
		elseif damagemultiplier == 4 then --Lots
			inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2
		
	end
end)

Like this?

[Ultroman]

Yep

You could also merge all the health, sanity and hunger stuff into the same AddPlayerPostInit.

This mod, though...it kind of has to be a server mod, which means the settings will be applied to every single player, no matter which character they've picked. Most character mods have balanced their character's stats to fit their special abilities, so you might end up really messing up the balance of these characters. For playing singleplayer, it's a nice mod, though, since you'll know which character you're going to pick, and can choose settings accordingly.

If I move the if statements into the maxwell.lua would that work? If So how would I call that variables?

[Ultroman]

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want the ability to change the stats for the Maxwell character only, by setting the stats in the settings for your mod?

I don't think you can make a mod, where clients can set their own stats before joining. I'm not sure it's impossible either, though.

Just trying to make it so the server side can pick the stats for just maxwell and I wanted it to be changeable so people can play how they like one day they want to play and make it harder or easier. 

[Ultroman]

Then you can just do

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	if inst.prefab == "waxwell" then
		return
	end
	-- do all your stat changes
end)

 

Or even better

AddPrefabPostInit("waxwell", function(inst)
	-- do all your stat changes
end)

Not sure if AddPrefabPostInit also works for player characters, but it's worth a try.

Dude your awesome looks like that did it
