Need help modding

[Pianobeats]

So this is my first time modding and I'm trying to make a mod that changes the loot chance that a mob will drop. So it's easy for people to farm pigskin, silk, electric milk, etc. 

 

Anyway, I'm having trouble. How do you distinguish a normal pig, guardpig, and werepig in the code? They're all under the same prefab (pigman) so I don't know how to separate them. 

 

If I try to modify the drop rates, only the normal pig is affected. The werepig still retains its original drop rate. Is there a way to separate them? Sorry, I'm really new to programming. 

 

 

Here's my code so far. 

function spiderpostinit(inst)	inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(nil)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("monstermeat", .8)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("silk", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("spidergland", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 2 --This changes the amount of items it will drop.endfunction spider_warriorpostinit(inst)	inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(nil)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("monstermeat", .8)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("silk", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("spidergland", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 3endfunction pigmanpostinit(inst)	inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(nil)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("meat", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper:AddRandomLoot("pigskin", 1)	inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 4end--Add PrefabPostInitAddPrefabPostInit("pigman", pigmanpostinit)AddPrefabPostInit("spider_warrior", spider_warriorpostinit)AddPrefabPostInit("spider", spiderpostinit)

The guardpig is it's own prefab "pigguard", and the werepig gets changed after the postinit when transition to and from it's were state. You'll want to take a look at this code
 

inst.components.werebeast:SetOnNormalFn(SetNormalPig) --this gets run when transitioning back to a normal pigand inst.components.werebeast:SetOnWereFn(SetWerePig) --this gets run when transitioning to a werepig

In your postinit function you probably want to override what it set to werebeast:SetOnNormalFn and werebeast:SetOnWereFn so that the lootdropper component always gets the values you want.

Thank you! Does this apply to Volt Goats too? Because normal Volt Goats don't drop Electric Milk, but Charged Volt Goats do drop Electric Milk.

@Pianobeats, I assume they work the same way, but as far as I'm aware, they are not in DST yet.
