A random chance to produce a specific food regardless of crockpot ingredients.

[Zhilo]

Ok, this one has been rather complicated and i havent found other mods that do a similar thing. 
I want my modded character to be such a terrible cook, that no matter what she puts in the crockpot, there's a 1 in 10 chance it will produce a monster lasagna instead of the intended food item. Any help figuring this out, or if you know of a mod that does something similar i could learn from, it would be much appreciated.

Possibly add something in the stewer component or replace the stewer component on crockpots to check if your character is using it and then change the output?

stewer.lua, 71:

local function dostew(inst, self)
    self.task = nil
    self.targettime = nil
    self.spoiltime = nil
    
    if self.ondonecooking ~= nil then
        self.ondonecooking(inst)
    end

    if self.product == self.spoiledproduct then
        if self.onspoil ~= nil then
            self.onspoil(inst)
        end
    elseif self.product ~= nil then
        local prep_perishtime = cooking.GetRecipe(inst.prefab, self.product).perishtime or 0
        if prep_perishtime > 0 then
			local prod_spoil = self.product_spoilage or 1
			self.spoiltime = prep_perishtime * prod_spoil
			self.targettime =  GetTime() + self.spoiltime
			self.task = self.inst:DoTaskInTime(self.spoiltime, dospoil, self)
		end
    end

    self.done = true
end

Somehow override that to edit the output based on a random number

well i tried a couple things with no success. First I attempted to add a 10% chance for it to produce somethign different where i tought was pewell i tried a couple things with no success. First I attempted to add a 10% chance for it to produce somethign different where i tought was pertinent

local function dostew(inst, self)

    self.targettime = nil
    self.spoiltime = nil
    
    if self.ondonecooking ~= nil then
        self.ondonecooking(inst)

    if self.product == self.spoiledproduct then
        if self.onspoil ~= nil then
            self.onspoil(inst)
        end
    elseif self.product ~= nil then
    local lasagnachance = math.random(1,10) 
    if lasagnachance == 1 then
        local recipe = cooking.GetRecipe(inst.prefab, self.product)
        else
        local recipe = cooking.GetRecipe(inst.prefab, monsterlasagna)
        end
        local prep_perishtime = (recipe ~= nil and (recipe.cookpot_perishtime or recipe.perishtime)) or 0
        if prep_perishtime > 0 then
            local prod_spoil = self.product_spoilage or 1
            self.spoiltime = prep_perishtime * prod_spoil
            self.targettime =  GetTime() + self.spoiltime
            self.task = self.inst:DoTaskInTime(self.spoiltime, dospoil, self)
        end
    end

But testing making about 20 meatballs i saw no change happen, or even a crash orf some sort, just nothing.

 

Then I tried to look elsewere in the code, and saw the line local prod = SpawnPrefab(self.product) and i thought "well maybe here is where the food item actually spawns on top of the crockpot when cooking ends, maybe cause a replacement here?" and thus i tried:

function Stewer:StopCooking(reason)
    if self.task ~= nil then
        self.task:Cancel()
        self.task = nil
    end
    if self.product ~= nil and reason == "fire" then
    local lasagnachance = math.random(1,10) 
    if lasagnachance == 1 then
        local prod = SpawnPrefab("monsterlasagna")
        else
        local prod = SpawnPrefab(self.product)
        end
        if prod ~= nil then
            prod.Transform:SetPosition(self.inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
            prod:DoTaskInTime(0, StopProductPhysics)
        end
    end
    self.product = nil
    self.product_spoilage = nil
    self.spoiltime = nil
    self.targettime = nil
    self.done = nil
end

and again absolutely nothing changes. Perhaps I am not even properly telling the code to use the monster lasagna food item.
