Help: Sanity influence of objects

[Mobbstar]

I want to make a custom character with the perk of gaining sanity when near shadow creatures (and maybe night light) rather than losing it. I want spiders and such to make you insane like normal though.

 

I started by copying Willows perk of gaining sanity by fire and removing the burning bits and replacing "fire" with "flower_evil" (for testing purposes). This is what the code looks like:

local function sanityfn(inst)	local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()		local delta = 0	local rad = 5	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x,y,z, rad, {"flower_evil"})		for k,v in pairs(ents) do 			local sz = TUNING.SANITYAURA_MED--			local rad = 1--			sz = sz * ( math.min(max_rad, rad) / max_rad )	I don't think those two lines are necessary.			local distsq = inst:GetDistanceSqToInst(v)			delta = delta + sz/math.max(1, distsq)		end	return deltaendlocal fn = function(inst)	--cut out some unrelated pieces.	inst.components.sanity:SetMax(TUNING.WILSON_SANITY * 0.8 )	inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = sanityfnend

Unfortunately, something (maybe the line outside the function) makes the presence of evil flowers not raise my current sanity, but rather slightly drop my maximum sanity (the effect never goes away).

 

I don't quite understand the sanity code yet, not at all to be honest. I am thankful for any code suggestions, constructive questions or explanations.

probably you have to change evil flowers instead of player

 

local function MakeGood(inst)     if inst and inst.components then            if not inst.components.sanityaura then inst:AddComponent("sanityaura") end            inst.components.sanityaura.aura = GLOBAL.TUNING.SANITYAURA_MED     endend AddPrefabPostInit("flower_evil", MakeGood)--AddPrefabPostInit("someotherprefab", MakeGood)-- add more prefabs here

 

but tbh MED is too much

That was a quick reply...

 

Sadly, now the game crashes. I've attached the log.txt, it says that AddPrefabPostInit is not declared. I've tried to put the line alone and in fn.

 

Am I supposed to declare it earlier in the file? I am not even sure what's going on anymore

you trying to add this in prefabs/wilfre.lua

 

but you have to put this code in modmain.lua

well bad side of this method - code will work for all characters, so better to test it with
 

local function MakeGood(inst)     local p = GLOBAL.GetPlayer()     if inst and inst.components and p and p.prefab=="wilfre" then            if not inst.components.sanityaura then inst:AddComponent("sanityaura") end            inst.components.sanityaura.aura = GLOBAL.TUNING.SANITYAURA_MED     endend

but i am unsure about it

Now it makes sense, duh. Thank you so very much, mr modding magician. This code of yours is worth its weight in gold. And I get it for free! = )
