sanity [NEED HELP] Character gains sanity when around others

[SecondQuill]

Hey! I'm trying to give a character an "extrovert" perk. Giving them sanity gain when around other players. I can't get it to work however. I'm pretty new to modding so I might be doing something wrong. I added the code at the bottom (before the last end) in the character.lua file. I used this code. This is for DST btw.

 local function sanityfn(inst)
 	local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
 	local delta = 0
 	local rad = 10
 	local rad_sq = rad*rad
 	for k,v in pairs(AllPlayers) do
 	if v ~= inst then
 	local distsq = inst:GetDistanceSqToInst(v)
 	if distsq < rad_sq then
 	local sz = TUNING.SANITYAURA_MED * rad
 	delta = delta + sz/math.max(1, distsq)
 	end
 	end
 	end

 	return delta
 	end
 inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = sanityfn

I don't know how this sanityfn you used would work. 

Do this in main fn of character: 

inst:DoPeriodicTask(3, function() 

local ents = ..... 

---use some function that find creatures, dig combat component DoAreaAttack function for that

local playersnum = #ents 

local sanity = player*0.1

inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(sanity) 

end)

I would need to see your entire character Lua file to see where it goes wrong. Your sanityfn looks fine (at a glance). You can get a long way just printing the state of things with print-statements, so you can see, e.g., what your delta ends up being, how many players it registers, what your delta calculation results in. All that good stuff.
