How to change loot from burned objects?

[Tenshin]

Hey, I've been trying to change the loot given by burnt items from ash to something else, but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know how to do this?

 

e.g. Burnt "boards" should give "charcoal" instead of "ash"

 

Thanks!

You will likely want to override lootdropper component, more precisely, LootDropper:DropLoot()

It's actually the burnt callback that controls this.

@standardcomponents.lua:

function DefaultBurntFn(inst)    local ash = SpawnPrefab("ash")    ash.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())        if inst.components.stackable then        ash.components.stackable.stacksize = inst.components.stackable.stacksize    end    inst:Remove()end

So, OP, what you'd want to do is implement custom versions of a function like the above, and then do

inst.components.burnable:SetOnBurntFn(my_very_own_burnt_fn)

I thought about the 'death on fire' loot getting turned to ash thing, not the actual burning of objects - you're right, I read the op wrong.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I also wasted alot of time with lootdropper.lua but it seems the answer is in "standardcomponents.lua". I've been able to change "ash" with "charcoal", but if I copy the file to "mods\modname\scripts\standardcomponents.lua" it doesn't do anything.

I also tried to implement the function in modmain.lua but I get a crash the following crash:

 

    modmain.lua:79: attempt to call global 'SpawnPrefab' (a nil value)

 

local function BoardsBurntFn(inst)    local cc = SpawnPrefab("charcoal")    cc.Transform:SetPosition(inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition())        if inst.components.stackable then        cc.components.stackable.stacksize = inst.components.stackable.stacksize    end    inst:Remove()endlocal function MakeBoardsBurnable(inst)        inst.components.burnable:SetOnBurntFn(BoardsBurntFn)endAddPrefabPostInit("boards", MakeBoardsBurnable)

Don't know what else to try. Any ideas? An easy workaround would be to just make crafting recipe but I wanted to figure this out...

Try using the global call like so,

 

    local cc = GLOBAL.SpawnPrefab("charcoal")

@Mutation142: Thank you! That was it! It's working now.

Your welcome, Tenshin. Glad I could actually help you on that one, since I'm new to modding DS and have much...much more learn.
