No monster diet character

[ElMilojita]

Hello everyone I am trying to make woodie not be able to eat any food with monter meat in it, however it does not seem to be working, I am not sure if the code is deprecated or something, I am using Ultroman's tutorial for woodie with restriction to eating certain food types or tagged, I will post both codes, mine and ultroman's tutorial reference to see what is wrong.

if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
	-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
	if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
		return false
	end
	
	if oldCanEat ~= nil then
		return oldCanEat(inst)
	end
	return true
end
end)

local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
	-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
	if inst:HasTag("mushroom") then
		return false
	end
	
	-- Check for certain foodtypes. This example makes all VEGGIES inedible.
	if inst.components.edible then
		if inst.components.edible.foodtype == "VEGGIES" then
			return false
		end
	end
	
	if oldCanEat ~= nil then
		return oldCanEat(inst)
	end
	return true
end

 

If I get the food restriction to work, I will set up more conditionals such as it being only applied if woodie is groggy, so that he cannot transform by eating monster meat or idols.

if inst.components.grogginess.isgroggy == true then 

Here is the mod main in case you can find any issues with it, I highly doubt so, just in case.

modmain.lua

I believe I may be an idiot. Try this.

if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
	-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
	if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
		return false
	end
	
	if oldCanEat ~= nil then
		return oldCanEat(self, inst)
	end
	return true
end
end)

I tried running your code my woodie mod's main, nothing happened so then I decided to put it in a seperate blank mod main  and I just keep on getting this error.

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH


TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING
GetPlayer = GLOBAL.GetPlayer


if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
	-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
	if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
		return false
	end
	
	if oldCanEat ~= nil then
		return oldCanEat(self, inst)
	end
	return true
end
end
end)

I added the appropriate end's to see if it eliminated the <oef> but it keeps on doing it so I am not sure what to do else.

[Ultroman]

Your indentation is screwing with you. I think you pasted it in after your last "end".

Try this:

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH


TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING
GetPlayer = GLOBAL.GetPlayer


if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
	AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
		local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
		function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
			-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
			if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
				return false
			end
			
			if oldCanEat ~= nil then
				return oldCanEat(self, inst)
			end
			return true
		end
	end)
end

 

And get yourself Notepad++ and set the "Language" to Lua. Then you can easily see which "end" ends what.

I already have note pad ++ , I do not understand why it is not working still.... Have you gone in game to see if it works? I am clueless about trying to call functions from components or retrieving them, that is what your code is trying to do I think by using functions in the Eater component.

also used  the code just provided

I goofed

[Ultroman]

The code in your latest image is not my latest code.

[ElMilojita]

It is not, please refresh the page, I attached another image, sorry, I took another one to check the ending's of what my note pad++ showed.

Ok the code no longers crash but woodie keeps on eating monster meat and idols

[Ultroman]

That code should work. Are you sure you're editing the file that your game is using, and not another copy of it?

If it doesn't work, try this. I have a sneaking suspicion that I messed up something else in that post.

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH


TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING
GetPlayer = GLOBAL.GetPlayer


if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
	AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
		local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
		inst.components.eater.CanEat = function(self, inst)
			-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
			if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
				return false
			end
			
			if oldCanEat ~= nil then
				return oldCanEat(self, inst)
			end
			return true
		end
	end)
end

Yes I am sure, I even made another mod folder dedicated to this post in hopes of making it work. There's the mod main and modinfo inside the folder.

What my modmain looks like:

local AllRecipes = GLOBAL.AllRecipes
local RECIPETABS = GLOBAL.RECIPETABS
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS
local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH


TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING
GetPlayer = GLOBAL.GetPlayer


if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
	AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
		local oldCanEat = inst.components.eater.CanEat
		function inst.components.eater:CanEat(inst)
			-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "mushroom" tag inedible.
			if inst:HasTag("monstermeat") then
				return false
			end
			
			if oldCanEat ~= nil then
				return oldCanEat(self, inst)
			end
			return true
		end
	end)
end

What my modinfo looks like

name = "Wereformhunger test"
description = "The wereforms have a lot of pontential, so I buffed them. Normal woodie still has the same perks before the refresh, made by Klei."
author = "Gothy"
version = "5.3"


forumthread = ""

api_version = 10

priority = -8000

server_filter_tags = {"Woodie mod", "wereform buffed"}

dst_compatible = true

all_clients_require_mod = true
client_only_mod = false
icon_atlas = ""
icon = ""

the mods I have enabled:

then here I have woodie eating monster meat.

 

my folder:

Did you try my newest code? I think that works. Sorry, I can't test where I am right now.

[ElMilojita]

No it does not work, I disabled all my client mods also. I am just by standby, I am gonna try to work on other things on my woodie mod, such as adding a button to deplete idols and transform.

[Ultroman]

Ah. Reading up on the latest game source code, they've changed the way the eater-component works. It is now PrefersToEat which you're supposed to extend.

if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then 
	AddPrefabPostInit("woodie", function(inst)
		local oldPrefersToEat = inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat
		inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat = function(self, food)
			-- Check for certain tags. This example makes all foods with the "monstermeat" tag inedible.
			if food:HasTag("monstermeat") then
				return false
			end
			
			if oldPrefersToEat ~= nil then
				return oldPrefersToEat(self, food)
			end
			return true
		end
	end)
end

Oh it worked out perfectly! Thank you!
