Need help making something happen when a player interacts in a specific way

[xovoxx]

Hello! I'm working on a mod where you have to take care of a moleworm. I want to make various things happen when that moleworm is fed.

I succeeded in overwriting the moleworm's prefab script.

I added the line

    inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(OnEat)

local function OnEat(inst)
    inst.components.inspectable:SetDescription("updated mole inpsection 1")
end

But unfortunately, nothing happens when the mole eats : inspecting it afterwards still displays the normal description. It really seems as if my function "OnEat" was not called.

I suspect I might be using the wrong parameters, but I don't know how to fix it.

Any help is welcome!

where did you add this line? in the prefab post init? can you share your whole code?

 

i think in lua it is not allowed to use a function before define it (but not sure).

I actually figured it out! The problem was elsewhere. Thanks for your help!

1) write what the problem was so other with the same problem can read it.
2) Don't overwerite the whole mole prefab file, unless you want your mod be broken everytime the devs change sth within that file. Use AddPrefabPostInit("mole"function(inst) yourcode end) within modmain instead.
