Tuning.lua: Creepy Eyes

[Silentdarkness1]

So, i'm making a mod that has tuning.lua tweaks in it, and I THINK that the way i'm trying to change the value setup for shadow eyes is causing a crash.

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES = 		{		    {maxsanity=.9, maxeyes=0},			{maxsanity=.8, maxeyes=2},		    {maxsanity=.7, maxeyes=4},			{maxsanity=.6, maxeyes=5},		    {maxsanity=.4, maxeyes=4},		    {maxsanity=.2, maxeyes=6},			{maxsanity=.1, maxeyes=16},		},

On the next code line down, I get an "Unexpected symbol near '=' " error.

Try to make something like:

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES.maxsanity = .6 

and so on with other variables in that table.

I'm not quite sure how that'd work. There's two variables to worry about in each line of the table.

You just edit all of them as shown above, so you have 2 lines of code for one line of the table.

[QQQQ]

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES.maxsanity = .6TUNING.CREEPY_EYES.maxeyes = 999

should work like that just fine

[QQQQ]

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES[1].maxsanity = .6TUNING.CREEPY_EYES[1].maxeyes = 999

now its correct, you must number the elemnet/line in hte table

[squeek]

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES = 		{		    {maxsanity=.9, maxeyes=0},			{maxsanity=.8, maxeyes=2},		    {maxsanity=.7, maxeyes=4},			{maxsanity=.6, maxeyes=5},		    {maxsanity=.4, maxeyes=4},		    {maxsanity=.2, maxeyes=6},			{maxsanity=.1, maxeyes=16},		},

What's the last comma doing there?

[Silentdarkness1]

@squeek idk, that must've been my bad. But QQQQ's way solved the crash, so it's good, I think.

[Silentdarkness1]

@squeek Nope, getting a tuning.lua crash again. This time referring to use total_day_time as a value.

 

Attempt to perform arithmetic on global "total_day_time"

[Silentdarkness1]

TUNING.UMBRELLA_PERISHTIME = total_day_time*18

[squeek]

total_day_time is not a global variable. You need to use TUNING.TOTAL_DAY_TIME instead.

EDIT: Also, removing that comma after the last } would have solved the first crash. That trailing comma is only allowed when setting keys inside a table definition.

 

-- crashtbl = {  key = true,},-- no crashtbl = {  key = true,}

Thanks. And yet another crash though.

 

Attempt to index field "?" (nil value)

 

TUNING.CREEPY_EYES[5].maxsanity = .4

[Silentdarkness1]

Nevermind, doing what @squeek said seems to have fixed that. All good now.
