[CUSTOM CHARACTER] making mob passive to mod character

[DragonFireBrenn]

hello! first time making a mod, and I am trying to make a custom character that bees will not attack. 

this link is the only thread I could find on the subject, but either the files for bees are written differently, or the way the code is written has changed. 

I have added the tag "beefriend" to the character as shown below; I don't know if it is in the right place

local function onbecamehuman(inst)
	inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "alyx_speed_mod", 2)
	inst:AddTag("beefriend")

here is the code that I think dictates what the bees attack

local function KillerRetarget(inst)
    return FindEntity(inst, SpringCombatMod(8),
        function(guy)
            return inst.components.combat:CanTarget(guy)
        end,
        { "_combat", "_health" },
        { "insect", "INLIMBO" },
        { "character", "animal", "monster" })
end

local function SpringBeeRetarget(inst)
    return TheWorld.state.isspring and
        FindEntity(inst, 4,
            function(guy)
                return inst.components.combat:CanTarget(guy)
            end,
            { "_combat", "_health" },
            { "insect", "INLIMBO" },
            { "character", "animal", "monster" })
        or nil
end

if anyone knows where and how to add the tag to the code, and where to put that code in the modmain.lua , that would help me a lot.

 

thank you for reading!

inst:AddTag("insect")

It should make killerbees and spring bees neutral to your character. They will still fight back if you attack them first however.

True. That'll also make mosquitos and wasps neutral to the character, though. It'll also change the impact sound when not wearing armor, because his target-type will be determined as "insect_" instead of "flesh_". If those things are acceptable, then this is definitely the easiest and least intrusive solution.

so to clarify, I should just add the tag "insect" to the character.

thanks to both of you, i will try this out.

[Ultroman]

Yes, if you accept the impacts I described in my last post.

I tried it and it worked! thank you both so much!

now all that's left to do is try and decompile willows /anim files to use as a template... for the 10th time 

thanks again,
