Is there a way to detect if player used specific emote?

[jupiter1390]

I want to make player gain/lose sanity on doing specific emotes, and have no idea on tracking player performing emote, any way to do it?

When the player does an emote, an event is pushed to the player called emote.

Spoiler

local function CreateEmoteCommand(emotedef)
    return {
        aliases = emotedef.aliases,
        prettyname = function(command) return string.format(STRINGS.UI.BUILTINCOMMANDS.EMOTES.PRETTYNAMEFMT, FirstToUpper(command.name)) end,
        desc = function() return STRINGS.UI.BUILTINCOMMANDS.EMOTES.DESC end,
        permission = COMMAND_PERMISSION.USER,
        params = {},
        emote = true,
        slash = true,
        usermenu = false,
        servermenu = false,
        vote = false,
        serverfn = function(params, caller)
            local player = UserToPlayer(caller.userid)
            if player ~= nil then
                player:PushEvent("emote", emotedef.data)
            end
        end,
        displayname = emotedef.displayname
    }
end

See emotes.lua

You can then listen to the event emote and run your function. The data contains data.anim which has the string of the anim that is used so you can distinguish the different emotes.

So, how should I fetch anim string data?

Tried inst.components.anim but gives nil value

local function bonesawDeluxe(inst, data)
    local emotetype = inst.components.anim
    print(emotetype)
    if emotetype == "emoteXL_bonesaw" then
        inst.components.health:DoDelta(-10)
        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(5)
        inst.components.talker:Say("true")
    else
        inst.components.talker:Say("false")
    end
end

You fetch it how I told you, by using data.anim

local function bonesawDeluxe(inst, data)
    local emotetype = data.anim
    print(emotetype)
    if emotetype == "emoteXL_bonesaw" then
        inst.components.health:DoDelta(-10)
        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(5)
        inst.components.talker:Say("true")
    else
        inst.components.talker:Say("false")
    end
end
