Help with Actions

[Schulliya]

Hi. I'm having a hard time trying to understand Actions and Component Actions. I want to print "hi" when I right click the ground, but I don't have an idea on what am I doing wrong. (I'm gonna try making a dash later)

Here is a fragment of my modmain.lua:

local Action = GLOBAL.Action
local ACTIONS = GLOBAL.ACTIONS

local DASH_ACTION = Action({priority = 4, distance = 20})

DASH_ACTION.str = "Dash"
DASH_ACTION.id = "DASH_ACTION"
DASH_ACTION.fn = function(act)
  print("hi")
  return true
end

AddAction(DASH_ACTION)


AddComponentAction("POINT", "dash_component", function(inst, doer, pos, actions, right)
	if right then
		table.insert(actions, ACTIONS.DASH_ACTION)
	end
end)

And here is my Dash_component file:

local Dash_component = Class(function(self, inst)
    self.inst = inst
    inst:AddTag("dashing")
end)

function Dash_component:DoDash()
	print("hi")
    return true
end
return Dash_component

When I run the game, I can right click the ground with the label "Dash", but it does nothing.

Thanks in advance!

You need to asign a stategraph to your custom action... Like this:

AddStategraphActionHandler("wilson", GLOBAL.ActionHandler(DASH_ACTION, "dolongaction"))

After the character finishes the animation, the text will be printed.

@HarryPPP It worked! Thank you so much!

BTW where can I see all the stategraphs? I don't want to use dolongaction

And I'd like to perform the stategraph animation after my Action, is it possible?

Oh! Sorry for the somewhat late response, @Schulliya.

You can find all scripts inside a .zip file named "scripts" under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\data\databundles". All you need to do is open it and go the folder called "stategraphs". You should find a file called "SGWilson", that's where the player stategraphs are.

I suppose you can by putting "act.doer.sg:GoToState("statename")" in the "DASH.fn" function... If it executes too early, you can always call "act.doer:DoTaskInTime(time, function)".
