How do ListenForEvent and related things work in lua?

[ChubbyBacon]

I'm kind of new to modding and it's kind of difficult to find things on ListenForEvent and the general way DST runs code. 

For example, if I wanted to have a function that runs when the player's temperature changes, how would I do that?

I know that Delta can check for changes, but how does it work?

Thanks in advance. If someone could suggest a useful guide it would be appreciated too, because I find it hard to search for actually helpful ones.

--Triggers after player initializes
AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	--Temperature test function
	local function TempTest(inst)
		--return if temperature doesnt exist
		if not inst.components.temperature then
			return
		end

		local temp = inst.components.temperature

		--if temperature is above 5 kill player
		if temp > 5 then
			inst.components.heath:DoDelta(-1000)

			--Stops listening to event
			inst:RemoveEventCallback("temperaturedelta", TempTest)
		end
	end

	--player is wilson
	if inst.prefab == "wilson" then
		--ListenForEvent
		inst:ListenForEvent("temperaturedelta", TempTest)
	end
end)

 

Something simple i guess

Sorry, when I run my mod, Don't Starve says that "AddPlayerPostInit" is not declared. Does this have to do with the placement of the script in my character prefab?

Never mind, I got it solved. (I didn't realize to put it in modmain)
