Make player lose sanity when above a certain temperature

[Navii0]

Hello, i'm making a custom character for the game, and i want him to lose sanity when above a certain temperature. I have played around with it, searched around, but i cant figure it out. Any help?

I tried using using DoPeriodicTask and checking the temperature, then changing the daperness of the player, but it either crashes my game or makes the "Dedicated server unable to start".

Listen for "temperaturedelta" on the player for the temperature. For the sanity loss, take a look at Sanity:AddSanityPenalty and Sanity:RemoveSanityPenalty.

@Navii0You should take a look at the game's files, which have the actual function definitions that you will be interested in and examples for listening on events. 
This is a guide on Lua 5.1 (in case you are not familiar with it), which is what DST uses. http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

I did look at the game files, but i could not figure anything out. I looked at another mod that uses temperature in their character, i copy pasted their code into my character, and it still crashed my game.

Aight, i got it working. I made a function

local function ontempchange(inst)
    return inst.components.temperature.current > 50 and -TUNING.DAPPERNESS_LARGE or 0
end

added this into onbecamehuman

inst:ListenForEvent("temperaturedelta", ontempchange)

and added this into master_postinit

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = ontempchange

And it works. Thanks for the help anyways!
