I just found out that if you run the "Applying DIFFERENT Values To Several Food Entities" snippet to a mod and then run that mod in a server with Caves enabled, it cause a game crash? I think?

Anyways, I fixed it by just adding the edible component to the for food_prefab, food_stats in pairs(food_stat_dict) do part.

How do you mean?

I' am trying to change the values for the MonsterMeat for my character.
I've added this code to the modmain.lua, as your tutorial says:
 

AddPrefabPostInit("monstermeat", function(inst)
	inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 10
	inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 10
	inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 10
end)

And for whatever reason i do get crash everytime i try to interact with monstermeat.
The error message attatched.

Could I ask for a help here?

Are you by any chance joining your own dedicated server or playing on your own computer with Caves on? Because then it sounds like you are missing some IsServer-checks to see whether the code is being executed on the server or a client. ONLY the server should run this code, because ONLY on the server do the entities have "full components", whereas on clients they just have some "replica components" which facilitate sharing of state and interaction with the server. There are sources to find on how to do IsServer-checks properly, but since I can't even seem to do this right for my own mods, I should not be advising people on how to do it :)

Just stumbled across this - not sure if this could work, couldn't you make the item a unique foodtype and only extend the character to have that in their diet?

I don't know much about the game code, so I may be way off but figured I'd throw it out there.

Im having a bit of trouble putting this into code form, what could we do for that? also, would this still be compatible with ShowMe?

Hey there!

I've tried to make some foods inedible with the coding in the article, but I feel like I misunderstand something: I can't make it work. The survivor still capable to eat the banned foods.

I put these lines into my master_postnit section:

Spoiler

 

local inedibles = {
    "spoiled_food",
    "petals",
    "foliage",
    "lightbulb",
    "ice",
    "seeds",
    "foliage"
    }

    local old_CanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
    inst.components.eater.CanEat = function(self, food_inst)
        for i, v in ipairs(inedibles) do
            if food_inst.prefab == v then
                return false
            end
        end
        return old_CanEat(self, food_inst)
    end

 

What do I do wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry for the late and useless answer: I don't know. It looks correct, but since I can't see the whole code, I can't be sure. The code looks right.  Perhaps you have to move the inedibles-list outside the master_postinit, so it doesn't get cleared when the function ends?

Hey do you have any experience with Crock Pot foods? I've gotten the food item totally implemented, but when it's in the crock pot after being cooked, the food is invisible. I'm out of ideas and have tried EVERYTHING. Any ideas?
