Help Special Powers

[ooitsme]

Hi everyone, i'm new to the forums and modding and i've made my own character mod that works in game now.  I was hoping someone could help me with adding the special power to my character that wigfrid has of life leech and sanity leech from killing her enemies.  I appreciate any help i can get, thanks!

Just look at her prefab file.

These are what you need:

As part of the prefab/custom_char.lua...

In your main function

inst:ListenForEvent("entity_death", function(wrld, data) onkill(inst, data) end, GetWorld())

Leech code

local function onkill(inst, data)	if data.cause == inst.prefab 		and not data.inst:HasTag("prey") 		and not data.inst:HasTag("veggie") 		and not data.inst:HasTag("structure") then		local delta = (data.inst.components.combat.defaultdamage) * 0.25        inst.components.health:DoDelta(delta, false, "battleborn")        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(delta)        if math.random() < .1 and not data.inst.components.health.nofadeout then        	local time = data.inst.components.health.destroytime or 2        	inst:DoTaskInTime(time, function()        		local s = medScale        		if data.inst:HasTag("smallcreature") then        			s = smallScale    			elseif data.inst:HasTag("largecreature") then    				s = largeScale    			end        		local fx = SpawnPrefab("wathgrithr_spirit")        		fx.Transform:SetPosition(data.inst:GetPosition():Get())        		fx.Transform:SetScale(s,s,s)    		end)        end	endend

hmm I put both of those codes in my custom prefab lua like this when i made this post:

 

local function onkill(inst, data)

    if data.cause == inst.prefab

        and not data.inst:HasTag("prey")

        and not data.inst:HasTag("veggie")

        and not data.inst:HasTag("structure") then

        local delta = (data.inst.components.combat.defaultdamage) * 0.25

        inst.components.health:DoDelta(delta, false, "battleborn")

        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(delta)

 

        if math.random() < .1 and not data.inst.components.health.nofadeout then

            local time = data.inst.components.health.destroytime or 2

            inst:DoTaskInTime(time, function()

                local s = medScale

                if data.inst:HasTag("smallcreature") then

                    s = smallScale

                elseif data.inst:HasTag("largecreature") then

                    s = largeScale

                end

                local fx = SpawnPrefab("wathgrithr_spirit")

                fx.Transform:SetPosition(data.inst:GetPosition():Get())

                fx.Transform:SetScale(s,s,s)

            end)

        end

inst:ListenForEvent("entity_death", function(wrld, data) onkill(inst, data) end, GetWorld())

    end

end

 

I'm at work right now so i can't mess around with it, but does it need to be formatted differently?

[1daBread]

inst:ListenForEvent("entity_death", function(wrld, data) onkill(inst, data) end, GetWorld())

goes in the function that is called by Prefab("",fn,assets) at that end of of your character_prefab.lua

So if that was the function call then fn would be where you want to put it. At this point the onKill function does not need to be changed

Ah okay, i think i understand.  i'll give it a try.  In the meantime i added damage absorption which is a decent alternative lol.  Thank you for your help!
