Coding Question

[jimmeh57]

So I am basically designing a character who 's form will change based on his sanity; if it drops below 50%, he will take form of a different body. Additionally, some base stats would change too, including max hunger, max health, damage, and hunger rate.  My issue is, I have little experience in coding. This is what I have got so far, from looking at codes such as Wolfgang and several mods:

local function becomehed(inst)        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("hed")        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(133)        inst.components.hunger:SetMax(133)        inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 0)endlocal function becomebody(inst)        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("body")        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(200)        inst.components.hunger:SetMax(200)        inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE)end        local function sanitychange(inst, data)        if inst.components.sanity.current < 66 then                becomebody(inst)        else                becomehed(inst)        end endlocal fn = function(inst)		-- choose which sounds this character will play	inst.soundsname = "wx78"	-- a minimap icon must be specified	inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "wx78.png" )	-- todo: Add an example special power here.        inst.components.health.maxhealth = 133        inst.components.health.currenthealth = 100         inst.components.sanity.max = 133        inst.components.sanity.current = 100        inst.components.hunger.max = 133        inst.components.hunger.current = 100        inst:ListenForEvent(sanitychange)end

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Wow, thanks! This does transform the character, except for one thing.. the character becomes invisible. I think that may have something to do with the .zip files, but I am not quite sure. I've been testing this mod for the past few days and everytime i enable body.zip, he becomes invisible. Would you happen to know how to fix this as well?

Make sure that it is registered in the assets table in the prefab file (see other prefab files for examples) and that the texture works (build.bin is right, atlas-0.tex is right).

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/hed.zip" ),

        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/body.zip"),

 

When I comment out the first asset, the character becomes invisible, I think this means that the second .zip file isn't working. But I did set the .tex file and build.bin seperately, I'm not sure what to do.

 

Additionally, I made some minor changes to the hunger rate, yet the hunger still NEVER drops. And whenever I am hit by an enemy, the health will drop once, and then stay at the same number.

 

local function becomehed(inst)

        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("hed")

 

        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(133)

 

        inst.components.hunger:SetMax(133)

 

        inst.components.sanity:SetMax(133)

 

        inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 0.50)

end

 

 

local function becomebody(inst)

        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("body")

 

        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(200)

 

        inst.components.hunger:SetMax(200)

 

        inst.components.sanity:SetMax(133)

 

        inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 1.25)

end

 

local function sanitychange(inst, data)

 

        if inst.components.sanity.current < 66 then

                becomebody(inst)

        else

                becomehed(inst)

        end 

end

 

local fn = function(inst)

 

-- choose which sounds this character will play

inst.soundsname = "wx78"

 

-- a minimap icon must be specified

inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "wx78.png" )

 

-- todo: Add an example special power here.

 

        inst.components.health.maxhealth = 133

        inst.components.health.currenthealth = 100

        inst.components.hunger.max = 133

        inst.components.hunger.current = 100

        inst.components.sanity.max = 133

        inst.components.sanity.current = 100

 

        inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", sanitychange)

end

Okay, so I fixed the animation not showing up, turns out I zipped the file containing the atlas-0 and build, rather than zipping those separately.
