Having trouble with transformation in cave

[Birdskull]

Hello. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, here?

I'm working on a character who has a different build and features for day/dusk/night. I'd like for him to behave as if it is night while he is in the cave, but I can't for the life of me get anything I try to work. Here's my current iteration of failure. What am I missing?

local function phasecolor(inst, WorldState)
    if TheWorld.state.phase == "day" then
        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("wort")
        inst:AddTag("daywort")
        inst:RemoveTag("eveningwort")
        inst:RemoveTag("nightwort")
        inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")
        inst.components.sanityaura.aura = TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY
    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
    inst.Light:Enable(false)
    elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "dusk" then
        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("eveningwort")
        inst:AddTag("eveningwort")
        inst:RemoveTag("daywort")
        inst:RemoveTag("nightwort")
        inst:RemoveComponent("sanityaura")
    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
    inst.Light:Enable(true)
    inst.Light:SetFalloff(.5)
    inst.Light:SetIntensity(.9)
    inst.Light:SetRadius(1)
    inst.Light:SetColour(66/255, 105/255, 76/255)
    elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "night" or TheWorld.state.phase == "cavenight" or TheWorld.state.phase == "caveday" or TheWorld.state.phase == "cavedusk" then
        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("nightwort")
        inst:AddTag("nightwort")
        inst:RemoveTag("daywort")
        inst:RemoveTag("eveningwort")
        inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")
        inst.components.sanityaura.aura = -(TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY * 50)
    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
    inst.Light:Enable(true)
    inst.Light:SetFalloff(.5)
    inst.Light:SetIntensity(.9)
    inst.Light:SetRadius(1)
    inst.Light:SetColour(95/255, 151/255, 167/255)
end
    end

What doesn't work? Does it crash? Does nothing happen? Did you do print-statements to debug what is going on?

[Birdskull]

Nothing happens. The character remains/reverts to his daytime version.

I'll look into print-statements. I'm still a beginner and didn't know that was a thing, so thank you!

I'm sure you'll figure it out. It's good practice

If you can't figure it out, return with your findings, and I'll look at it

Thank you. I still haven't figured out why I couldn't get the build to change, but I was at least able to recognize that the other changes were being applied so the issue was all just visual. I fixed the problem by going into the x_none.lua and changing his normal_skin from the day to the night build.

Sounds weird, but if you're happy with the functionality, case closed
