question about woby item saving mechanics

[thua4]

I'm trying to add woby to wendy and it worked ( just for solo playing) but unlike walter's woby wendy's woby just lose all item when i disconnect and reconnect. I tried to paste walter lua into wendy and change all walter name into wendy and it doesn;t work, did the same for SGwobysmall changed all walter into wendy, he still lose items. If any developer read this can you please tell me where I need to fix in order for woby to not lose item when disconnected? TY!

Sounds like you're modding the game, so I'd recommend a post like this be posted in The Mods and Tools subforum.

As for having Woby keep her items, that's handled in Walter's OnSave and OnLoad functions:

Spoiler

prefabs/walter.lua

local function OnSave(inst, data)
	data.woby = inst.woby ~= nil and inst.woby:GetSaveRecord() or nil
end

local function OnLoad(inst, data)
	if data ~= nil and data.woby ~= nil then
		inst._woby_spawntask:Cancel()
		inst._woby_spawntask = nil

		local woby = SpawnSaveRecord(data.woby)
		inst.woby = woby
		if woby ~= nil then
			if inst.migrationpets ~= nil then
				table.insert(inst.migrationpets, woby)
			end
			woby:LinkToPlayer(inst)

	        woby.AnimState:SetMultColour(0,0,0,1)
            woby.components.colourtweener:StartTween({1,1,1,1}, 19*FRAMES)
			local fx = SpawnPrefab(woby.spawnfx)
			fx.entity:SetParent(woby.entity)

			inst:ListenForEvent("onremove", inst._woby_onremove, woby)
		end
	end
end

 

 

 

You'll need to combine the OnSave and OnLoad functions from both Walter and Wendy. The easiest way would be by just copy-pasting their contents together, so they look something like this:

Spoiler

prefabs/wendy.lua

local function OnSave(inst, data)
	data.woby = inst.woby ~= nil and inst.woby:GetSaveRecord() or nil
    if inst.questghost ~= nil then
        data.questghost = inst.questghost:GetSaveRecord()
    end
end

local function OnLoad(inst, data)
	if data ~= nil and data.woby ~= nil then
		inst._woby_spawntask:Cancel()
		inst._woby_spawntask = nil

		local woby = SpawnSaveRecord(data.woby)
		inst.woby = woby
		if woby ~= nil then
			if inst.migrationpets ~= nil then
				table.insert(inst.migrationpets, woby)
			end
			woby:LinkToPlayer(inst)

	        woby.AnimState:SetMultColour(0,0,0,1)
            woby.components.colourtweener:StartTween({1,1,1,1}, 19*FRAMES)
			local fx = SpawnPrefab(woby.spawnfx)
			fx.entity:SetParent(woby.entity)

			inst:ListenForEvent("onremove", inst._woby_onremove, woby)
		end
	end
    if data ~= nil then
		if data.abigail ~= nil then -- retrofitting
			inst.components.inventory:GiveItem(SpawnPrefab("abigail_flower"))
		end

        if data.questghost ~= nil and inst.questghost == nil then
            local questghost = SpawnSaveRecord(data.questghost)
            if questghost ~= nil then
                if inst.migrationpets ~= nil then
                    table.insert(inst.migrationpets, questghost)
                end
                questghost.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/common/ghost_spawn")
                questghost:LinkToPlayer(inst)
            end
        end
    end
end

 

 

 

This kind of approach may break if Klei ever updates the save/load functions of these characters, though, so you'll need to re-do it if that ever happens.

omg thank yoiu so much for immediate response yes i'm a noob here and i'm actually tweaking it in my data file i have no idea how to make mods which would be safer, instead i tweak directly at the databundle script files the main one. I'll give that a try and see if i can get it to work thank you so much!
