Custom food values?

[Scrumch]

Continuing from my last post, I figured out where I went wrong.

I need to find a way to change the values of a food item when by a specific character? What would be the best way to do this?

how about the perk from wortox which only receives half of every food value?
It is done within his eater component, so within your masterpostinit after adding the eater component, simply do:

    if inst.components.eater ~= nil then
        inst.components.eater:SetAbsorptionModifiers(health, hunger, sanity)
    end

replace health, hunger, sanity with your values. 1 will be normal, 0.5 will be half like wortox and so on.

(eater component is most likely automatically added, so put this code just somewhere of masterpostinit)

I was more so thinking about making a specific food item give different values when this mod character eats it, but I will try that.

[Serpens]

So you have both, a custom character and a custom food item and you want that food to be eaten by every player, but only your player should get different values?
Hm, no simple solution for this, although it is possible.
But maybe you should think about an easy solution, like to make this food only eatable for your character? Or take a look at webbers monster meat code or I think Wormwood can eat manure?

wouldn't be simple if it was a certain character to do this

inst.component.edible.oneaten = custom

function custom (inst , eater) 

if eater:HasTag("character tag") then     ---------------------- # i think. if eater.prefab = "your character" then .should work too
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = new value
end
end

if you take a look at the eater component, you see that "OnEaten" is called AFTER the hunger/helaht/sanity changes, so that would not solve it. There is a way to do it, but it might be kinda "hacky" (at least I can't imagine another way right now) and you should try to not use hacky ways, if there is an easier solution somehow.

edit:
Another simple way would be to use the foodmemory of warly. This checks for a specific food prefab and you could manipulate it that way, that it always returns 0.5 for a specific food if it is your character.

idk then maybe go into the character then change it to when he eats it it'll create a increase in health basically stacking it

ok i checked it up and it should be as simple as

inst.components.eater.oneatfn = (newval)

newval (inst, food)
if food.prefab = "yourfood" then 
inst.components.hunger:dodelta("hunger value on top of the old one") # what i mean by this is  that this value stacks on the old one
end
end

Should that go in the master_postint or in it's own function?

[Maris]

Even if you are making a food item, you MAY patch any character (including mod characters).

All you need is prefab name of that character. So you can create AddPrefabPostInit initialization in modmain.lua.

Are you interested in this method?

As I said, there are many way of achieving this. But I tried to offer some ways that are already existent within the game, so mods like ShowMe might catch the change (after the food absorption was implement :D).

[Maris]

In ShowMe there already is a method to catch the change. It was made few years ago. And it's described on API page of the mod. I was going to suggest a such method.

I mean function FoodValuesChanger. That's why I'm talking about patching characters.

the function is a function 

the inst.component.eater.oneatfn = (newval) can go underneath the hunger components
