Need help with heat resistance and speed during summer

[Lavbun]

Heyo! I hope someone can help it would be great!
I need help making code for my friends character which involves
- Heat resistance during the summer 
and
- A speed boost during the summer

I found this in an old post, but it doesn't seem to work? 

 inst.components.temperature.inherentsummerinsulation = 70

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and help me with this!!

local function summerspeed(inst)
	if TheWorld.state.issummer then 
		inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "CHARACTERNAME_speed_mod", 1.65)  -- summer speed
	else
		inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "CHARACTERNAME_speed_mod", 1.25)		--normal speed
	end
end	

inst:DoPeriodicTask(60, summerspeed, nil, inst)

I think it should still work. Run some tests and find out.

I mean this:

For increased speed during summer copy and paste stuff above inside "master_postinit" inside character.lua and change "CHARACTERNAME" to your character's name. That's all. Cheers!

@Yakuzashi Is checking whether it's summer every 60 seconds necessary? You could probably do it with world watchers instead. Add a WatchWorldState("season", summerspeed) to your character and make the function take 2 variables:

local function summerspeed(inst, season) -- Added a 'season' variable
	if season == "summer" then -- Check the season
		inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "CHARACTERNAME_speed_mod", 1.65)  -- summer speed
	else
		inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "CHARACTERNAME_speed_mod", 1.25)		--normal speed
	end
end

 

This way the function will be called only when seasons are changing. Additionally run this function on initialization:

local function OnInit(inst) -- Run this function in your master_postinit
	summerspeed(inst, TheWorld.state.season)
end

 

This function is needed to set the appropriate speed boost when the character is created (when you join a game), while the other only sets the value when the seasons change.
