Drain sanity based on another player's health?

[localcryptid]

I want to have my character's sanity drain when players near them have low health or sanity. Any idea how to do this? Here's what I have in master_postinit.

    inst:DoPeriodicTask(1.0, function(inst)
        -- Do nothing if the player is dead.
        if inst.components.health:IsDead() or inst:HasTag("playerghost") then
            return
        end
        
        -- Store the position of the player in x, y, z variables.
        local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
        
        -- Description of important function, which finds specific entities within a range:
        -- TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, radius, mustHaveTags, cantHaveTags, mustHaveOneOfTheseTags)
        
        -- We have limited it to any player that is not a ghost or in limbo.
        -- I have set the radius to be the one used for standard negative auras. You can set it to whatever radius you want.
        local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, TUNING.SANITY_EFFECT_RANGE, {"player"}, {"playerghost", "INLIMBO"}, nil)

        for i, v in ipairs(ents) do
            if v and v:IsValid() then -- If any player near them has low HP, drain sanity
                local health_percent = {"player"}.components.health:GetPercent() -- Player health
                local sanity_percent = {"player"}.components.sanity:GetPercent() -- Player sanity
                if (health_percent < .5 or sanity_percent < .5) then -- If player health or sanity is less than half
                     inst.components.sanity.dapperness = -1 -- Drain Nibs' sanity
                end
                if v.prefab == "bolt" then -- When near Bolt, gain sanity and do more damage
                    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1, true) -- Sanity gain
                    if not inst:HasTag("killmode") and inst.issecretnibs == nil and not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then -- If killmode is not already engaged
                        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.5 -- Damage buff
                    end
                elseif v.prefab == "cobalt" then -- Sanity gain around Cobalt
                    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1, true) -- "true" disables the pulse on the badge and disables that it plays a sound.
                end
            elseif v and not v:IsValid() then    -- Turn off damage mod when not around Bolt
                inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
                inst.components.sanity.dapperness = 0
            end
        end
    end)

It's crashing when trying to grab the teammate health and sanity values.

Should be `v` instead of `{"player"}`.

You'll want to look over your logic after it, some of your if/then/elseifs don't look right at a glance for what you're intending to do.

Added a few print statements. Turns out "Near a player" is printing at all times now.

It's including the player entity itself, exclude it with a check like `if v ~= inst`.
