Is it possible to use tuning for something like this?

[. . .]

Hello, I want to know if it's possible to use tuning for something like this code !  When I use it now it doesn't seem to work or do anything.

Spoiler

local function Eat(inst, food)
	if TUNING.HOLHORSE_FOOD_FAVORITE[food.prefab] then
		inst.components.talker:Say("Just like back in Texas!")
	end
end

--masterpostinit
inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(Eat)

--modmain
TUNING.HOLHORSE_FOOD_FAVORITE ={"hotchili",}

 

Thanks for your time and help, have a great day !

It should, but I don't think you can ask a list if it contains something that way. You'd have to employ a function like this:

local function contains(mytable, value)
	if mytable and value then
		for _, v in ipairs(mytable) do
			if v == value then
				return true
			end
		end
	end
	return false
end

Thank you!

How exactly would I use this code and where would it be put in? The characterprefab or modmain?

Is this how you use the code?

mytable = {"hotchili,"}

local function contains(mytable, value)
	if mytable and value then
		for _, v in ipairs(mytable) do
			if v == value then
				return true
			end
		end
	end
	return false
end

if contains[food.prefab] then
	inst.components.talker:Say("Just like back in Texas!")
end

Almost. "contains" is a function, so you don't use square brackets. Just call it.

contains(mytable, food.prefab)

 

If it returns true, then it found parameter 2 (object e.g. a string) in parameter 1 (a table).

You can put the function in any LUA file where you want to use it. You could also make a separate LUA for all your utility functions such as this one, e.g. myutils.lua, and import it in the script files where you want to use it, by injecting it using e.g. require("myutils.lua").
