[Coding Request] Vegetarian and Friendly to mobs

[Nyogtha]

I have for the most part produced a small set of character for my friends by cannibalizing code.

 

Unfortunately, no matter what code I try to pull these two particular traits from, they don't work.

 

I am trying to make a character that is a vegetarian (only able to eat "non meat" items) and is friendly to all mobs in the game.

 

Honestly though, I'd settle for any mobs in regards to that code. I copy pasted the code from Webber, Cthulhu, and a dozen others and everything still attacked the character, instead of being friendly.

 

I think I could get them all to just not attack by doing things with the targeting, but I would rather have them just be friendly.

 

Thank you so much for any help.

Thought this might be useful, the current code for the character:

 

I am using the esc template, haven't updated anything yet.

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"local assets = {        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_basic.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles_shiver.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_axe.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_pickaxe.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_shovel.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_blowdart.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_eat.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_item.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_uniqueitem.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_bugnet.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_fishing.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_actions_boomerang.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_bush_hat.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_attacks.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_idles.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_rebirth.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_jump.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_amulet_resurrect.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_teleport.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/wilson_fx.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/player_one_man_band.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/shadow_hands.zip" ),        Asset( "SOUND", "sound/sfx.fsb" ),        Asset( "SOUND", "sound/wilson.fsb" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/beard.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/esctemplate.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/ghost_esctemplate_build.zip" ),}local prefabs = {}local start_inv = {	"fireflies",	"fireflies",	"fireflies",	"fireflies",}-- This initializes for both clients and the hostlocal common_postinit = function(inst) 	-- choose which sounds this character will play	inst.soundsname = "wendy"	-- Minimap icon	inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "esctemplate.tex" )end-- This initializes for the host onlylocal function master_postinit(inst)	--Friendly	-- Stats		inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = (4)		inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = (6)	inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)	inst.components.hunger:SetMax(50)	inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)		local function updateHungerRate(inst, mult)       inst.components.hunger:SetRate(mult*TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE)end  inst:WatchWorldState( "startday", function() updateHungerRate(inst, -.5) end )inst:WatchWorldState( "startdusk", function() updateHungerRate(inst, 0) end )inst:WatchWorldState( "startnight", function() updateHungerRate(inst, 1.5) end )endreturn MakePlayerCharacter("esctemplate", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)

>everything still attacked the character

you always will be attacked by "monsters", doesn't matter what you eat, unless you have same tag with them or change their code.

peaceful(like rabbits)/neutral(like pigs) creatures usually runaway or attack player with "monster" tag, so just don't use it.

about vegetarian - look how other vegetarian characters made, its just one option about food. I don't remember how its exactly called, i didn't touched DS source since august.

Just copy the codes from "WINNIE" mod by Cyde042 . Winnie is a Vegetarian.

>everything still attacked the character

you always will be attacked by "monsters", doesn't matter what you eat, unless you have same tag with them or change their code.

 

I actually tried using tags. I tried several in fact, to see if I could get the character to count as everything:

local function common_postinit(inst)	inst:AddTag("merm")        inst:AddTag("spider")

But it didn't work.

 

I think tried just one tag:

local function common_postinit(inst)	inst:AddTag("spider")end--Current Code

but that didn't work either.

 

Are these supposed to exist under a specific section?

 

 

 

Just copy the codes from "WINNIE" mod by Cyde042 . Winnie is a Vegetarian.

 

 

I tried copy/pasting her code specifically for that reason, and in short order, I could never quiet get it to load.

 

I may try editing her character .lua for this. That may be the solution.

[Nyogtha]

Ignore that second indent on the spider tag. That's not there, the forums added that.

[Mobbstar]

just call the eater component and SetVegetarian()

[Spotteh]

just call the eater component and SetVegetarian()

 

I'm not OP but how do you do that? I am working on a herbivorous character, only I started modding just a few days ago so I don't have much of a grasp on the component system.

[Mobbstar]

inst.components.eater:SetVegetarian()

 

^^that into your character file, with the other perks

[Nyogtha]

Thanks for all the help so far.

 

I have given up on making the character friendly to all monsters, and have tried a few others things.

 

Unfortunately, some aren't working quite right.

 

I am trying to add a few additional foods to vegetarianism, like honey, but I cannot. I am not sure why they aren't working.

 

I am also trying to have the character level up from dragon pies. That is also not working at all.

 

Could someone provide advice as to the issue?

Fair warning, stat numbers aren't balanced yet.

Got leveling working, just can't add the extra edibles. Any advice would be great!

Thanks.

 

I am going to try that in a little bit. Time for me to sleep actually.
