(Solved)Making Sanity Drain at a Threshold

[TheAlphaDehur]

Hey hey, I'm here to admit that coding isn't my forte.

So I'm attempting to create a downside, one I believed would be simple, but I don't know my way around the DST code. So I have thus far been unable to find success despite finishing pretty much every other part of the mod. The basic idea is this:

"If Sanity is below 50 then Drain 5 Sanity per second."

I'll figure out the balance later, but the idea is to act as a punishment for neglecting the stat, and to make it challenging to come back from the low.

If anyone could lend their experience on this one, it would be much appreciated!

Try putting this under the "master_postinit" function:

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = sanityfn

Then call the "sanityfn" function outside of it.
 

local function sanityfn(inst) 
  	local sanity_tresh = inst.components.sanity.current 

	return sanity_tresh <= 50 and -5/60 or 0 -- if sanity is lower or equal than 50, reduce 5 sanity per minute, else, do nothing. 
end

I hope this helps!

You nailed it! Cheers!

Tested it in a few ways to make sure, and unless my own sanity dropped that fast, it performed as expected. I'll send you a cookie for the help!
