Need Help with spawning Mutated Horror Hounds

[Nergall89]

I am making a mod where when you eat meat, cooked or in a recipe there is a change to spawn hounds to attack you like they are attracted from the smell of meat. Gave them a buff as well to be faster and stronger, basically to add a challenge. Now I am trying to make them have a chance to become Horror Hounds on death but can't figure it out. Any ideas? I appreciate it.

[Yakuzashi]

I would add the code below to the stategraph - death section

if math.random() < 0.5 
	local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
		SpawnPrefab("mutatedhound").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z) 		
	return true
end

I am not sure if this will work, but you can try at least

Thank you for the reply, for some reason I can't generate a world with it, no errors occurs, it is just not finishing the world

[Yakuzashi]

I'll test it later on my vanilla version

Okay. You will need to paste this little boy inside modmain.lua

local function deadlydoggo(sg) 
 local _onenter = sg.states["death"].onenter 

	sg.states["death"].onenter = function(inst) 
		_onenter(inst) 	
		if math.random() < 0.5 then  ---- percent chance of very bad doggo reborn
			local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
       			SpawnPrefab("shadow_despawn").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z) --this is only visual effect to smooth up the transition between death of hound and its transformation into spooky one
				SpawnPrefab("mutatedhound").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z) 		
			return true
		end
	end
end

AddStategraphPostInit("hound", deadlydoggo)

Remember to add this somewhere above:

local require = GLOBAL.require
local STRINGS = GLOBAL.STRINGS

local SpawnPrefab = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab

If you have any questions do not hesitate, I am always willing to help! Cheers!

visual effect

It works, however now it apply the chance when the horror hound is killed as well which makes it to spawn a Horror one out of a horror one. Maybe there is a problem with the code I have here.

local function spawnoffscreen(pt, radius)
    local theta = math.random() * 2 * GLOBAL.PI
    radius = radius or 40
    local offset = GLOBAL.FindWalkableOffset(pt, theta, radius, 12, true)
    if offset then
        return pt+offset
    end
end

function spawnattacker(prefab, teleporttoinst, guy)
    teleporttoinst=teleporttoinst or false
    local pt = Vector3(guy.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
    local spawn_pt = spawnoffscreen(pt)
    if spawn_pt and prefab then
        local attacker = SpawnPrefab(prefab)
        if attacker and teleporttoinst==true then
            spawn_pt = Vector3(guy.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
            attacker.Physics:Teleport(spawn_pt:Get())
        end
        if attacker and attacker.Physics and attacker.components.combat then
            attacker:FacePoint(pt)
            attacker.Physics:Teleport(spawn_pt:Get())
            attacker:DoTaskInTime(1, function(attacker)
                if attacker.components.knownlocations then
                    attacker.components.knownlocations.locations["home"]=Vector3(guy.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
                end
            end)
            if attacker.components.sleeper and attacker.components.sleeper.isasleep then
                attacker.components.sleeper:WakeUp()
            end
            attacker.components.combat:SetTarget(guy)
        end
    end
end


AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
    inst:ListenForEvent("oneat", function(inst, data)
        if data.food.prefab == "meat" or data.food.prefab == "cookedmeat" or data.food.prefab == "meat_dried" or data.food.prefab == "smallmeat_dried" or data.food.prefab == "baconeggs" or data.food.prefab == "fishsticks" or data.food.prefab == "honeyham" or data.food.prefab == "honeynuggets" or data.food.prefab == "kabobs" or data.food.prefab == "meatballs" or data.food.prefab == "bonestew" or data.food.prefab == "perogies" or data.food.prefab == "turkeydinner" or data.food.prefab == "surfnturf" then
            if math.random() < 0.5 then
                if inst.components.talker then
                    inst.components.talker:Say("Oh no! Hounds!")
                end
                spawnattacker("hound", false, inst)
            end
        end
    end)
    inst:ListenForEvent("killed", function(inst, data)
        if data.victim.prefab == "hound" then
            if math.random() < 0.3 then
                spawnattacker("hound", false, inst)
            end
        end
    end)
end)

local function deadlydoggo(sg) 
 local _onenter = sg.states["death"].onenter 

    sg.states["death"].onenter = function(inst) 
        _onenter(inst)     
        if math.random() < 0.5 then  ---- percent chance of very bad doggo reborn
            local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
                   SpawnPrefab("shadow_despawn").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z) --this is only visual effect to smooth up the transition between death of hound and its transformation into spooky one
                SpawnPrefab("mutatedhound").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)         
            return true
        end
    end
end

AddStategraphPostInit("hound", deadlydoggo)

And is there a way to make the horror hound spawn where the dead one is with little delay? Like 3 seconds or something? And Thanks again for all the help!

[Yakuzashi]

Horror Hound and regular one must use the same stategraph.

local function deadlydoggo(sg) 
 local _onenter = sg.states["death"].onenter 
 
	sg.states["death"].onenter = function(inst) 
		_onenter(inst) 	
		if inst.prefab == "hound" then
			if math.random() < 0.5 then
				local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
					SpawnPrefab("shadow_despawn").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
					SpawnPrefab("mutatedhound").Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z) 		
				return true
			end
		end
	end
end

Edit: Yep, it works just fine

Only 1 thing - any chance to make them spawn after lets say 2 or 3 seconds ?

I'll check this out tomorrow. I have tested sth and still don't know how to do this
