How to check if someone's wearing a Backpack?

[ViridianCrown]

I know this'll probably be really simple but I'm trying to check if a player's character is wearing armor/clothing with the "backpack" tag on it, but I can't find the exact phrase in order to check if someone has a backpack equipped. Does it have something to do with EQUIPSLOT_BODY, or adding a GLOBAL. tag in modmain?

local checkbackpack = inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.BACK) or inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.BODY)
if checkbackpack and checkbackpack:HasTag("backpack") then
    print("backpack is here")
end

Should also use EQUIPSLOTS.BACK because they may use some mods like Extra Equip Slots to check EQUIPSLOTS.BODY which may give incorrect results.

inst.components.inventory:GetOverflowContainer()

I'm terribly sorry, but I can't seem to get either solution to work. It would probably be helpful if I explained what I was trying to actually do and paste some code.

The following code I am attempting to edit is in the modmain.lua file.

Spoiler

AddComponentPostInit("playeractionpicker", function(self)
	if self.inst:HasTag("PLACEHOLDER_NAME") then 
		local LEAPACTION = GLOBAL.ACTIONS.LEAP
		local _GetRightClickActions = self.GetRightClickActions
		self.GetRightClickActions = function(self, position, target)
			local actions = _GetRightClickActions(self, position, target)
			if #actions == 0 then
				local ishungry = self.inst.replica.hunger:GetCurrent() < 10
				local ispassable = self.map:IsPassableAtPoint(position:Get())
				if ispassable and not ishungry then
					actions = self:SortActionList({LEAPACTION}, position)
				end
			end
			return actions
		end
	end
end)

 

Basically what I wish to do is allow a character to leap with the help of a worn item (using a backpack as a placeholder). However, in its current state, the character is allowed to leap regardless of if they have anything equipped. I attempted to use Harumi's code to make it so giving the character a backpack would add the character tag "hasbackpack", and make it so the code would both check for the self.inst:HasTag("PLACEHOLDER_NAME") and a hypothetical inst:HasTag("hasbackpack"), but it would either force an error not allowing the server to start, or would connect but push me back into the character select screen with the custom character missing. Older versions of the code checked for a walking cane in the character's hand using this code:

AddComponentAction("POINT", "leapstaff", function(inst, doer, pos, actions, right)
    if right and
    doer:HasTag("PLACEHOLDER_NAME") and
    doer.components.hunger.current >= 10 and GLOBAL.TheWorld.Map:IsPassableAtPoint(pos:Get()) then
    table.insert(actions, ACTIONS.LEAP)
	elseif doer.components.hunger.current <= 9.99 then
	return
    end
end) --This code replaces the current code's AddComponentPostInit example I used above.

AddPrefabPostInit("cane", function(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("reticule")
    inst.components.reticule.targetfn = ReticuleTargetFn
    inst.components.reticule.ease = true

    if GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
    inst:AddComponent("leapstaff")
    end
end)

 

However, I could not find a way to make the code check for worn items, only items in hand such as a pickaxe or hammer. I'm really sorry if I'm missing anything, but I'm relatively new to coding in LUA and have mostly lurked on the forum to find answers before posting.

Im not smart but you could probably listen for the equip/unequip event with 

Quote

    inst:ListenForEvent("equip", function(inst, data)

        if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.BODY and data.item.components.container then

            inst.backpackequipped = true

        end

    end)

    inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", function(inst, data)

        if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.BODY and data.item.components.container then

            inst.backpackequipped = false

        end

    end) --replace "data.item.components.container" with "data.item.prefab == "backpack" if you dont want to target all containers (like the candy sack, pig backpack, etc)

 

and have a variable tied to the character like "inst.backpackequipped" and then have your function check if inst.backpackequipped == true

im no smartie tho, this may cause issues? dunno
