Pianobeats Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ok. So I want the ghost to drop nightmare fuel. But the problem is, the ghost.lua prefab doesn't have a "lootdropper" component. So I'm not really sure how I would add that to my mod. Any ideas? I know the answer is probably simple. Here is my code right now. --For Ghostsfunction ghostpostinit(inst) inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot("nightmarefuel") --No lootdropper component inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 0endAddPrefabPostInit("ghost", ghostpostinit) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48755-adding-a-component/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfish911 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sorry, for triple posting. -.- I don't know why it did that. It wasn't intentional.I think you should be able to delete them.Anyway, can you elaborate? Where is this code you posted? modmain.lua? ghost.lua?

Pianobeats Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 @goldfish911 In modmain.lua @seronis I tried that, doesn't work for some reason.

Blueberrys Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I tried that, doesn't work for some reasonQuite difficult to determine the problem with just "doesn't work". Please elaborate on what happened when you tried it. Did it crash the game? Prevent a crash? Error messages, logs?

Pianobeats Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Ok. Sorry, I was doing this late last night and I had to sleep. But I will elaborate on everything. So, my original code (the one I posted) doesn't crash the game, but my HUD disappears whenever I debug spawn the ghost for some reason. (My inventory, crafting tab, health bar, hunger bar, sanity bar, clock, etc. They all disappear). Anyway, the code doesn't work because the ghost still doesn't drop the nightmare fuel. I checked my logs and it said this. Orphaned unnamed resource. This resource must have used Add( resource ) to insert itself into the manager. So, I thought it was because the ghost.lua prefab doesn't have a "lootdropper" component to it. That's why it can't drop any items. Then I did what @seronis suggested by using the inst.AddComponent("lootdropper") into my modmain.lua and still doesn't work.

Mobbstar Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) So, my original code (the one I posted) doesn't crash the game, but my HUD disappears whenever I debug spawn the ghost for some reason. (My inventory, crafting tab, health bar, hunger bar, sanity bar, clock, etc. They all disappear). I'm not sure if this is due to another complication with another mod or not. (I will test this when I get back from work). That's caused by missing assets and alike. Anyway, the code doesn't work because the ghost still doesn't drop the nightmare fuel. I checked my logs and it said this. It always spams with "could not unload orphaned resource", that is unrelated to the crash. Look for an indent part (the lines above a "Lua stack traceback") Then I did what @seronis suggested by using the inst.AddComponent("lootdropper"). Same result. I hope you used a collon ':' instead of a full stop '.'

seronis Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well i definitely typed a colon in my example. Not sure why his has a period Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/48755-adding-a-component/#findComment-599300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianobeats Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ok. So it was the collon. (Yeah, I'm really tired sorry. x_x) I revised my code to this--For Ghostsfunction ghostpostinit(inst) inst:AddComponent("lootdropper") inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot("nightmarefuel") inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 0endAnd the HUD vanishing thing is not a problem anymore. So don't worry about that. The thing is, whenever I kill the ghost it crashes the game and I get this messsage. LUA ERROR stack traceback: =[C] in function 'ipairs' C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/components/lootdropper.lua(112,1) in function 'GenerateLoot' C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/components/lootdropper.lua(209,1) in function 'DropLoot' C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/dont_starve/data/scripts/stategraphs/SGghost.lua(112,1) =(tail call) ?

EDIT: I assume though, it's either meant to be a loot table or because the randomnumber is zero.

Pianobeats Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 .../dont_starve/data/scripts/components/lootdropper.lua:112: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got string)Ok, this is what is above the stack traceback. I got it to work now. I am so stupid sometimes. I re-wrote my code to this. --For Ghostsfunction ghostpostinit(inst) inst:AddComponent("lootdropper") inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot({"nightmarefuel"}) inst.components.lootdropper.numrandomloot = 0endI just forgot to add the {curly brackets} inside the SetLoot(). It's supposed to be an array, not a string. I am so dumb. x_x Thanks for the help everybody. Especially, Mobbstar and Seronis. Thank you.
