Need help adjusting damage buff and sanity drain

[al6ren]

My custom character can eat nightmare fuel which for them restores health but drains sanity. I want to add a temporal damage buff (50%+ damage for 20 s) activated by the activity of eating nightmare fuel.
Another thing I need help with is sanity drain of 2 per second for 10 second upon killing anything other than mobs tagged prey.

It's my first mod ever so that might seem like a lot. Thanks for any help ^^

I think i fixed the second problem, here's my code. haven't checked if it's working yet

 

local function SanitysFall(inst, ini_time)          

    if inst.components.sanity then          

        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(-1)      

    end            

    if GLOBAL.GetTime() > ini_time + 20 then            

        inst.lose_sanity_task:Cancel()          

        inst.lose_sanity_task = nil    

    end

 

local function OnKill(inst, data)

    local victim = data.victim

    if victim and not victim:HasTag("prey") and not victim:HasTag("pigman") and inst.components.sanity then

        if inst.lose_sanity_task ~= nil then

            inst.lose_sanity_task:Cancel() end      

            inst.lose_sanity_task = nil            

            inst.lose_sanity_task = inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, SanitysFall, nil, GLOBAL.GetTime())  

        end    

    end

end

--in common_postinit :

inst:ListenForEvent("killed", OnKill)

I suggest using debuff method to do this. You can refer to the foodbuffs.lua and compostwrap.lua files for guidance.

Thank you and sorry for not replying earlier! I opted for another mechanic but it was still useful
