Perk works with Sanity and Hunger, but not with Health

[Goregonzola]

Hey there!

I have a perk for one of my older characters that I wanted to revisit for a quick fix, but it seems like my programming skills hit another brick wall with logical thinking.

I have three different consumables, and they're supposed to work like a coinflip when they're consumed: either double the consumer's corresponding stat (one consumables for each stat), or do absolutely nothing. It do works well with Sanity and Hunger, but it just never triggers for Health.

Here's the Health version:

Spoiler

local function DoubleOrNothing(inst,eater)
    if eater then
        local success = math.random() < 0.5
        if success then
            if eater.components.health then
                local old_max = eater.components.health.currenthealth
                eater.components.health.currenthealth = old_max * 2
            end
        end
    end
end

inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(DoubleOrNothing)

and the Hunger Version:

Spoiler

 

local function DoubleONothing(inst,eater)
    if eater then
        local success = math.random() < 0.5
        if success then
            if eater.components.hunger then
                local old_max = eater.components.hunger.current
                eater.components.hunger.current = old_max * 2
            end
        end
    end
end

inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(DoubleONothing)

 

The solution is probably something truly trivial, but I just can't find it.

Thanks in advance!

I tested out your code snippet and it worked for me. It's possible the error is somewhere else in the file.

I originally tested it with the stat values set to zero like this:

Spoiler

    inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 0
    inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(DoubleOrNothing)

That way it didn't work at all, but once I removed the value lines above the SetOnEaten trigger, it do triggers the event, but without them, it also have a constant Hunger and Health value of 10, what I don't really want.

What's the next step in this case?

Tried it with:

inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0
inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 0

And it still worked. There must be something else that causes it to not work

It's me! The Article Necromancer!

I just can 't find the solution to the problem. I added the item's lua file and the whole character's package to whom the item belongs to.

If somebody's able to identify the problem, I can thank it with a heart reaction.
