Make player lose sanity when near spiders

[Navii0]

How can i make the player lose sanity when near spiders? I have searched around and tried some things, but i have no idea what to really do. Any help?

For every player?

Then you can add a higher sanity aura to the spiders with "inst:AddComponent("sanityaura") .... "

local function spidersanityaura(inst)
	local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
	local delta = 0
	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 20, {"spider"}) -- you can change 20 if you want it happen near or far
	local bonus_sanity = nil
	local distsq = nil
    	local totalDelta = nil
  	
	for k, v in pairs(ents) do
		if v ~= inst then
			if v.prefab == "spider" then
				bonus_sanity = -TUNING.SANITYAURA_MEDIUM -- you can change medium to change amount of sanity your character lost 
				distsq = math.max(inst:GetDistanceSqToInst(v), 1)
				delta = delta + bonus_sanity / distsq
				
  			else
			end
		end
        totalDelta = totalDelta + delta
	end
    
    if #ents > 0 then
    	totalDelta = totalDelta / #ents
    else
    	totalDelta = 0
    end
    
	return totalDelta
end

im using this one for lose sanity near something (forgive my english its not my main language) put that in your character.lua

 

	inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = spidersanityaura
	inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, spidersanityaura)

and this in master_postinit this must work

Hey! I used this on my character, but now i get disconnected from my server everytime i come near a spider, even as a ghost.

I've also tried some code from the post below,

but it just crashes my game at the character select screen. I'm kinda lost.

local function spidersanityaura(inst)
	local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
	local delta = 0
	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 20, {"critter_puppy", "spider" , "critter_kitten"})
	local bonus_sanity = nil
	local distsq = nil
    	local totalDelta = nil
	
	for k, v in pairs(ents) do
		if v ~= inst then

			if v:HasTag ("spider") then
				bonus_sanity = -TUNING.SANITYAURA_LARGE
				distsq = math.max(inst:GetDistanceSqToInst(v), 1)
				delta = delta + bonus_sanity / distsq
			
			else
			end
		end
        totalDelta = totalDelta + delta
	end
    
    if #ents > 0 then
    	totalDelta = totalDelta / #ents
    else
    	totalDelta = 0
    end
    
	return totalDelta
end

use this one and do not remove critters they're not doing anything but now it works fine

I played around with the script, but it didn't do anything. The game didn't crash, but the sanity loss remained the same. I have no idea why it didnt work.

I tested the code by setting the sanity aura to a big positive number, and i still lost sanity like in the normal DST. I have no clue what's happening, Here's my character's lua. Im probably doing a dumb mistake and im not noticing it.

Well you just need to change 

bonus_sanity = TUNING.SANITYAURA_SUPERHUGE

with this

bonus_sanity = -TUNING.SANITYAURA_SUPERHUGE

you miss the '-' lol also im not sure about "SUPERHUGE" you can change it with

bonus_sanity = -TUNING.SANITYAURA_LARGE * 2 --as example you will lose 2x large sanity now

I i changed it to

bonus_sanity = TUNING.SANITYAURA_SUPERHUGE

on purpose, to check if it even works. I does not work with

bonus_sanity = -TUNING.SANITYAURA_SUPERHUGE

anyway :/

In simpler words, theres already a negative sanity aura from spiders in the original game, i just want it to be much bigger for my character. I cant figure it out.
