There is no such a function currently, you will need to make it by yourself.

You will need to track player equiping the item and start a task, if player unequips item you cancel task.

This goes into OnEquip code:

--- 1st we must remove regen task if there is one already so we don't create memory leak

if owner.item_regen_task then

    owner.item_regen_task:Cancel()

    owner.item_regen_task = nil 

end

---- 2nd add regen

local period = 1

owner.item_regen_task = owner:DoPeriodicTask(period, function()

ownder.components.health:DoDelta(1)

end)

This goes into OnUnEquip code:

---- remove regen

if owner.item_regen_task then

    owner.item_regen_task:Cancel()

    owner.item_regen_task = nil 

end

It does exist though
 

function Health:StartRegen(amount, period, interruptcurrentregen)

AFAIK, StartRegen cannot stack. It will always overwrite the currently running regen, and since the game uses it, e.g. for jellybeans (IIRC), I would not recommend using it for your purposes.

Desblat's suggestion is great. Simple and effective, and will also be applied properly when loading the character.

Ah, thatd make sense. Thanks for the explanation!

No problem. It's some weird code, IMO. In their comments, it sounds like they're saying they made it able to handle several regens, but what happens is:

• If there is already a regen running
  • If "interruptcurrentregen" is true, then Cancel the current task.
• If there is no current regen anymore, create a new one, BUT if there IS a regen running already, it just replaces "amount" and "period" on the existing task and lets it continue running.

The only thing their special "interruptcurrentregen" bool allows us to do, is rely on the regen task not being cancelled when replaced. This sound like a good thing, but I don't see any use case where I'd use it. If I was relying on when the task was finished, it'd mess things up when some other code applies a new StartRegen. Suddenly, it'd look like my regen lasted longer than it should have and is giving a wrong amount of regen, when really I just ate a jellybean which swapped out those important values.
