How do I edit a character prefabs to give him night vision..?

[Kuro Shinokage]

Hello, could you help me, please?
So, I know that there are a lot of forums explaining how to edit but, every time I tried to edit the character's prefabs, to give him night vision and I failed miserably; w;
I searched in all possible forums to find codes, and tutorials, but no matter how I put the code, it always crashed.

Here is the prefabs that I'm trying to edit:

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"

local assets = {

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_basic.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles_shiver.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_axe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_pickaxe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_shovel.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_blowdart.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_eat.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_item.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_uniqueitem.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_bugnet.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_fishing.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_boomerang.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_bush_hat.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_attacks.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_rebirth.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_jump.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_amulet_resurrect.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_teleport.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/wilson_fx.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_one_man_band.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/shadow_hands.zip" ),
        Asset( "SOUND", "sound/sfx.fsb" ),
        Asset( "SOUND", "sound/wilson.fsb" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/beard.zip" ),

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/white.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/ghost_white_build.zip" ),
}
local prefabs = {}
local start_inv = {
    -- Custom starting items
}

-- This initializes for both clients and the host
local common_postinit = function(inst) 
    -- Minimap icon
    inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "white.tex" )
end

function setSpeedwhite(inst)
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 6
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 8.5
end

-- This initializes for the host only
local master_postinit = function(inst)
    -- choose which sounds this character will play
    inst.soundsname = "wilson"
    -- Stats
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 5
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 8.1
    inst.components.temperature.mintemp = 2.0    
    inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(130)
    inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
    inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)
    
    inst:ListenForEvent("respawnfromghost", function()
    inst:DoTaskInTime(7, setSpeedwhite)
end)

end

return MakePlayerCharacter("white", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)
 

If any soul can help me, I would be very very grateful X3!!!

I found this in Woodie files
 

Spoiler

local function SetWereVision(inst, mode)
    if IsWereMode(mode) then
        inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)
        inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(BEAVERVISION_COLOURCUBES)
    else
        inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)
        inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(nil)
    end
end

So probably u have to put this
"inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)"

somewhere here like this

Spoiler

local master_postinit = function(inst)
    -- choose which sounds this character will play
    inst.soundsname = "wilson"
    -- Stats
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 5
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 8.1
    inst.components.temperature.mintemp = 2.0    
    inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(130)
    inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
    inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)
    
    inst:ListenForEvent("respawnfromghost", function()
    inst:DoTaskInTime(7, setSpeedwhite)
end) 

I never made character before so idk if ti works.

It was crashing when it came to generating the world.
But the code really worked! Thank you very very much X3 !!!
The only problem is that it is activated even during the day..
But still, thank you very much for your help X3!!

[Yagi2137]

Hmmm... try this

    -- choose which sounds this character will play
    inst.soundsname = "wilson"
    -- Stats
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 5
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 8.1
    inst.components.temperature.mintemp = 2.0    
    inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(130)
    inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
    inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)

    if TheWorld.state.isnight then

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)

    end
    
    inst:ListenForEvent("respawnfromghost", function()
    inst:DoTaskInTime(7, setSpeedwhite)
end) 

idk if it will work, but seems legit xd

u can go to ur 
C:\Users\User\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether and search for server_log or client_log, there u can find what causes error.

[Kuro Shinokage]

Worse it didn't work..(But I agree with you, it's pretty legit xd) But don't worry, I'll still be looking around to see what I can do too ^w^
But man, really, thanks for helping me, you don't know how grateful I am X3!! Thank you so much ;w;

(I also took a look at the errors, where they saw the crashes, and I managed to resolve this, thank you very much for this too dude ;w;)

    if TheWorld.state.isnight ~= nill then

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)

    else

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)

    end

Hmm i think this may work. (ii'm trying to take code from fireflies and im still new in dst code xd)

Worse than now, when I choose a character and and when I was supposed to appear in the world, before that, when loading to play with character a "Warning" Appears.

And don't let me play with the character ;w;
I use Notepad ++ to edit the prefabs. (I’ve been editing the character so don’t bother with the changed numbers xd), I don’t know if I put it wrong or coded it wrong ^^'.

Here:

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"


local assets = {

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_basic.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles_shiver.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_axe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_pickaxe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_shovel.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_blowdart.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_eat.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_item.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_uniqueitem.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_bugnet.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_fishing.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_boomerang.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_bush_hat.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_attacks.zip" ),

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_teleport.zip" ),

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/white.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/ghost_white_build.zip" ),
}
local prefabs = {}
local start_inv = {
	-- Custom starting items

-- This initializes for both clients and the host
local common_postinit = function(inst) 
	-- Minimap icon
	inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "white.tex" )
end

function setSpeedwhite(inst)
	inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 6.5
	inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 9.0
end

-- This initializes for the host only
local master_postinit = function(inst)
	-- choose which sounds this character will play
	inst.soundsname = "wilson"
	-- Stats
	inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 6.5
	inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 9.0
	inst.components.temperature.mintemp = 2.0	
	inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(130)
	inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
	inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)
	
	   if TheWorld.state.isnight ~= nill then

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)

    else

    inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false)

    end
	
	inst:ListenForEvent("respawnfromghost", function()
	inst:DoTaskInTime(7, setSpeedwhite)
end)

end

return MakePlayerCharacter("white", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)

(Even though you're new to coding, I have to say, you are a thousand times better than me xd, you have talent > W>, Just keep going and you will be becoming a professional x3!)

Well i guess this function is wrong. Well its not even a function so thats may be the problem but idk (like i said im not familiar with dst code yet). mayby try this:

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"


local assets = {

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_basic.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles_shiver.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_axe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_pickaxe.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_shovel.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_blowdart.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_eat.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_item.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_uniqueitem.zip" ),
        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_bugnet.zip" ),

	inst:DoTaskInTime(7, setSpeedwhite)
end)

end

return MakePlayerCharacter("white", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)

Idk if its correct or totaly messed up xd. I guess it wont work but u can try

It crashes because there is a typo.
if TheWorld.state.isnight ~= nill then <- here the nil has an additional 'l'
