Help enabling full beard on start?

[Cowboypunkcolt]

I'm working on a new character mod (a longhaired cat that is shavable with multiple sprites according to shaven-ness) and am wanting to have the game start with the full coat. Since it's just using the beard script (but instead of picking new separate beard sprites, it's picking new character sprites), it's automatically starting out at the shortest length. Does anyone know if it's possible to make it start at the last beard-day instead of the first?

sure it is possible

Good to know. You don't happen to have an idea how it is possible? What bits of code to alter, add or remove?

I surely can take a look if topic starter will share files of his mod.

Basically, if you use standard beard component, just set the amount of beard's bits and then call the stategraph function to show the "full beard"

Here is an example from the Wilson prefab:

 

inst.AnimState.OverrideSymbol("beard", "beard", "beard_long")

inst.components.beard.bits = 9

 

But this mod can implement fur growing differently, so it really depends on how the mod is written.

I got it to work! I was just sort of thinking about it dumb. Thank, leemuar for helping me think about it less dumb. In any case, it's really just Wilson's beard feature, but over the span of 10 days, and instead of the animstate line referring to the beard sprite, it refers to a new character sprite.

For reference, the code I ended up with is this (with stand-in numbers for the days and beard-bits):
 

 

 

inst:AddComponent("beard")

inst.components.beard.bits = 10

inst.AnimState:SetBuild("winterfull")

    inst.components.beard.onreset = function()

inst.AnimState:SetBuild("winter")

    end

    inst.components.beard.prize = "beardhair"

 

    --tune the beard economy...

local beard_days = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

local beard_bits = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

 

    

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[1], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[1]

    end)

    

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[2], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[2]

    end)

    

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[3], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[3]

inst.AnimState:SetBuild("winterhalf")

    end)

 

inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[4], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[4]

    end)

 

inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[5], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[5]

    end)

 

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[6], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[6]

    end)

    

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[7], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[7]

    end)

    

    inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[8], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[8]

    end)

 

inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[9], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[9]

inst.AnimState:SetBuild("winterfull")

    end)

 

inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[10], function()

        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[10]

    end)

Nice work, bro! Don't forget to share your mod with us when it's done!

Will do, just a couple days of work left, I think!

Good luck on the mod, I will be sure to check it out!

Thanks for the support!
