Need help - Modding

[25kubalok]

Hello I want to make my character lose 20 sanity when golden items broke. I'm new to modding and it's pretty difficult for me to do. Can somebody help? Cause i have no idea how to do this. :/

Obvious way to do so is to listen for this event

inst:ListenForEvent("percentusedchange", PercentChanged)

inside your golden items prefabs (axe,lua for example).

Add this listener to a function

local function onequipgold(inst, owner)

and add to your custom character some custom tag (see in other .lua files) like "goldlover". Then the last thing you should do is decrease sanity of an owner which should have your custom tag when percent of an item go below 0 (i.e. it is broken now).

Bad solution, but come on, it's simple.

For now I don't know how to do the gold tool breaking thing, but here is code for gaining sanity from killing creatures. Hopefully it works !

Inside your character.lua put this inside the master_postinit

inst:ListenForEvent("killed", KilledPrey)

then above the master_postinit put

-- What stuff won't count as a "valid victim" so you don't get sanity from killing them
-- for example if you add " victim:HasTag("butterfly") or " you won't get sanity from killing butterflies
local function IsValidVictim(victim)
	return victim ~= nil
		and not (victim:HasTag("veggie") or
		victim:HasTag("wall") or
		victim:HasTag("structure") or
		victim:HasTag("groundspike") or
		victim:HasTag("smashable"))
	and victim.components.health ~= nil
	and victim.components.combat ~= nil
end

local function KilledPrey(inst, data)
	local victim = data.victim
	if IsValidVictim(victim) then
		local health = victim.components.health.maxhealth
		if health >= 300 then -- If 300 or more health give 30 sanity
			inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(30)
		elseif health < 300 then -- If less than 300 give 10 sanity
			inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(10)
		end
	end
end
