Listen for event?

[Eliminator]

I want to make something happen when you haunt a dead skeleton.

 

How would I listen for that event?

You can do it by calling AddHauntableCustomReaction function, like this:

local function OnHaunt(haunted, haunter)--Place whatever you want it to do hereendAddPrefabPostInit("skeleton", function(inst)AddHauntableCustomReaction(inst, OnHaunt, false, false, false)end)

I tried that but I am getting this error:

I tried that but I am getting this error

 

 

Because that function is a utility function defined in standardcomponents.lua (i.e. in a separate space from your mod), you'll have to call GLOBAL.AddHauntableCustomReaction. Hope that helps!

Thanks, it doesn't crash any more.

local function OnHaunt(haunted, haunter)

--Place whatever you want it to do here

end

AddPrefabPostInit("skeleton", function(inst)

AddHauntableCustomReaction(inst, OnHaunt, false, false, false)

end)

 

I did this but the skeleton is still not hauntable. When I try to haunt it, it just says "Examine skeleton".

It probably means the skeleton doesnt have a hauntable component at all, add one in your skeleton init

inst:AddComponent("hauntable")

Sorry, I just stated coding for don't starve. Whats my skeleton init?

@Eliminator, Make a new line just before the OnHaunt function, and put it there.

I tried that but I get: "Attempted to index a global 'inst' (a nil value)"

[rezecib]

@Eliminator, Oh, oops, I would've defined the OnHaunt function inside the postinit, but looks like it wasn't written that way. Put it above AddHauntableCustomReaction instead.

Now it doesn't crash, but the skeleton is still not hauntable.

You also have to set it for the player skeleton.

 

AddPrefabPostInit("skeleton_player", function(inst)inst:AddComponent("hauntable")AddHauntableCustomReaction(inst, OnHaunt, false, false, false)end)

This makes sense, I knew there were two different types of skeletons, I just didnt think about it . I did look into AddHauntableCustomReaction, and that function adds the hauntable component if it does not exist. So my earlier suggestion is invalid (adding the inst:AddComponent("hauntable")), it was never required.
