lvinglog On/off beaver state for woodie with living logs

[ColombianCam]

I'm trying to make woodie be able to use living logs as an off and on switch of his state, if he eats a living log as a beaver he turns into woodie and vice versa, but I'm not able to make it happen without crashing, I've been looking at everything related to this, event handlers because transforming is an event but how do I apply it to a eaten item? it says eater is not defined to say it's woodie who transforms if eaten. I noticed that there was only inst so I decided to replace everything with eater to see if it worked, I've stressed out options in the past by using woodie's prefab own transform bits but it doesn't work, i've read rezecibs post to understand.

    inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.WOOD
    inst.components.edible.woodiness = 0
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0
	if eater.isbeavermode:value() then
        eater:RemoveTag("beaver")
        eater.Network:RemoveUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
        eater.isbeavermode:set(false)
        eater:PushEvent("stopbeaver")
        OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
    if not eater.isbeavermode:value() then
        eater:AddTag("beaver")
        eater.Network:AddUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
        eater.isbeavermode:set(true)
        eater:PushEvent("startbeaver")
        OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
    inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(oneaten)

I'm not sure what you're actually editing here. I'm going to assume that this code is inside an AddPrefabPostInit("livinglog", function). There are a number of problems.

1. Your if-statements are missing their closing "end".
2. At the bottom you're hooking up a function that you haven't shown to be there.
3. Your two if-statements are in the wrong context. You can't just put if-statements about what happens when the food is eaten into a post-init function. Those if-statements have to be executed when the food is eaten, not when it is initialized.
4. You're assuming that you can check the status of being a beaver on any character eating this food. Only Woodie will have the eater.isbeavermode variable.

This should work (assuming your code is otherwise correct; I don't know how Woodie's tranformation works):

inst:AddComponent("edible")
inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.WOOD
inst.components.edible.woodiness = 0
inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0

inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(
function(inst, eater)
	if eater.prefab == "woodie" and eater.isbeavermode:value() then
		eater:RemoveTag("beaver")
		eater.Network:RemoveUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
		eater.isbeavermode:set(false)
		eater:PushEvent("stopbeaver")
		OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
	end
	if eater.prefab == "woodie" and not eater.isbeavermode:value() then
		eater:AddTag("beaver")
		eater.Network:AddUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
		eater.isbeavermode:set(true)
		eater:PushEvent("startbeaver")
		OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
	end
end)

	end
end)

 

Should lump that into an if-else to stop it from calling the below code immediately in case the netvar changes immediately.

inst:AddComponent("edible")
inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.WOOD
inst.components.edible.woodiness = 0
inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0

inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(function(inst, eater)
    if eater.prefab == "woodie" then
        if eater.isbeavermode:value() then
            eater:RemoveTag("beaver")
            eater.Network:RemoveUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
            eater.isbeavermode:set(false)
            eater:PushEvent("stopbeaver")
            OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
        else
            eater:AddTag("beaver")
            eater.Network:AddUserFlag(USERFLAGS.CHARACTER_STATE_1)
            eater.isbeavermode:set(true)
            eater:PushEvent("startbeaver")
            OnBeaverModeDirty(eater)
        end
    end
end)

Thanks a bunch guys! After analyzing what y'all proposed I landed on this

function(inst, eater)
	if eater.prefab == "woodie" and not eater.isbeavermode:value() then
		eater.components.beaverness:SetPercent(.25)
	elseif
	eater.prefab == "woodie" and eater.isbeavermode:value()then
	eater.components.beaverness:SetPercent(1)
	end
end)

which instead of making the character go into transformation, it sets the transformation values of the log meter, so I don't have to code any transformation bits and the game does it for me, if the log meter reached this log beaverness value.
