Healp with steam-powered robot

[NikMik]

I've fixed the issue.

 

As a part of my mod, I'm adding a steam-powered robot as a follower. He does emit steam ever now and then, but I haven't been able to add sound when he emits steam. And it's currently coming out of his foot.

If anyone could tell me how to position the steam and add sounds, I would be very grateful.

 

 

 Here's the coding for the steam:

 

    inst:AddComponent("periodicspawner")
    inst.components.periodicspawner:SetPrefab("poopcloud")
    inst.components.periodicspawner:SetRandomTimes(5, 15)
    inst.components.periodicspawner:SetDensityInRange(20, 2)
    inst.components.periodicspawner:SetMinimumSpacing(0.1)
    inst.components.periodicspawner:Start()

 

I set it to play the sound and emit the smoke when I feed him gears.

Thank you.

I also noticed the typo on the forum title. Didn't notice untill I'd hit post.

Could you please upload your mod?  It makes it much easier to help you out .

I actually found a solution to the problem earlier today. So help is no longer necessary.

Even if you find your own solution, posting that solution helps other people who might be having the same difficulty you had.

I couldn't exactly make it randomly happen but I could make it so he emits the smoke/sound whenever performing an action with a few simple commands in the Setgraph. I only set it to whenever he triggered the "run_start" state, which works very well; not spamming smoke everywhere, but activating only when he begins running and during the short stops during running.

 

Here's the state with the smoke. The bold/underlined text is the added coding.

 

State{
        name = "run_start",
        tags = {"moving", "running", "canrotate"},
        
        onenter = function(inst)
            inst.components.locomotor:RunForward()
            inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("run_pre")
            inst.sg.mem.foosteps = 0
        end,

        onupdate = function(inst)
            inst.components.locomotor:RunForward()
        end,

        events=
        {   
            EventHandler("animover", function(inst) inst.sg:GoToState("run") end ),        
        },
        
        timeline=
        {        
            TimeEvent(4*FRAMES, function(inst)
            local pos = Vector3(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())
            pos.y = pos.y + 1 + math.random()*1.5
            local cloud = SpawnPrefab("poopcloud")
            cloud.Transform:SetPosition(pos:Get())
                inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/rook/steam")
            end),
        },        
        
    },
 

Not very specific, I know.
