[MOD HELP] How to make a meter widget appear

[Garamonde]

Hello, so I am trying to make a meter widget akin to Woodie's Wereness meter, except it only raises when my character eats any kind of meat. After it fills, he "transforms" into a feral state with modified stats and such and the meter slowly drains when he's not eating meat at a gradual rate, similar to Wigfrid's inspiration meter.

The actual problem I'm having currently is getting the meter to even show up in-game. I am using graphics and code from the wetness meter as a placeholder until I get the code working, but even after setting up the files in the (seemingly) correct folders the meter just doesn't appear in-game. My widgets folder is under scripts/widgets/inhumanitymeter.lua, while the placeholder graphics were put under Garamonde/exported/inhumanity_meter.

Here are also my .LUA files for the component and widget, if that helps. If anything else is needed, please let me know!

I forgot to post a screenshot of my widget's graphics folder. I renamed a couple things in there, so that could be why it's not reading the graphics?

After getting help from poolcool2, I have some entirely new code to share so the files in the first post can be disregarded. However, we still cannot get the widget to appear in-game. I have looked into other mods that do the same thing and I even looked at Woodie's code, but we just can't figure out what it is we need. If anyone could help, I will list you in the credits of my mod! I'm making such good progress on my mod and the code is the only roadblock I'm having.

Thank you!
