[help needed] Custom character mod

[Goomboss]

Hello everyone,

 

I have been making a character mod and got the basics to work. My current issue is how to make the script select the client which plays as this character, rather then the host of the server or the first instance of this character on the online list. 

 

[codesyntax]local makewine = 0
local isDrunk = 0
local dawncheck = 0
print("started")
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/meery.zip" ),
Asset( "ANIM", "anim/ghost_meery_build.zip" ),
}
local prefabs = {
}
local start_inv = {
-- Custom starting items
}


local function runner(inst)

if makewine == 3 then
inst.components.inventory:GiveItem( SpawnPrefab("bottle_r") )
makewine = 0
end
if TheWorld.state.phase == "day" then
if dawncheck == 1 then
inst.components.health:DoDelta(isDrunk, false, "Alcohol poisoning")
isDrunk = 0
dawncheck = 0
end
elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "dusk" then
dawncheck = 1
elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "night" then
dawncheck = 1
end
end

-- This initializes for both clients and the host
local common_postinit = function(inst)
-- Minimap icon
inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "meery.tex" )
end

local function oneat(inst, food)

if food and food.components.edible and food.prefab == "berries" then
makewine = (makewine + 1)
elseif food and food.components.edible and food.prefab == "bottle_r" then
isDrunk = (isDrunk - 10)
end
end



-- This initializes for the host only
local master_postinit = function(inst)
inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(oneat)
table.insert( inst.components.eater.foodprefs, "ALCOHOL" )
function inst:ActionStringOverride(bufaction)
if bufaction.action == ACTIONS.EAT and bufaction.invobject.prefab and bufaction.invobject.prefab:match("^bottle_") then
return "Drink"
end
end
-- choose which sounds this character will play
inst.soundsname = "willow"
-- Stats
inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)
inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
inst.components.sanity:SetMax(200)
--no sanity loss at night
inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = 0
--scared of ghosts
inst.components.sanity.ghost_drain_mult = 2
-- gets cold fast
inst.components.temperature.maxtemp = 5
-- Checks for Day/Dusk/Night/Cave, & Health Conditions.
local refreshTime = 1/5
inst:DoPeriodicTask(refreshTime, function() runner(inst, refreshTime) end)
end


return MakePlayerCharacter("meery", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)[/codesyntax]

 

the orange parts are the parts that dont quite seem to work. Anyone got any idea?

 

Thanks in advance,

Allow me to explain furter and clearer. What I am looking for is a way to select the client and only that client running this script.

@Goomboss, please post this in DST Mod section. You'll find more people there who know what you're looking for.

As far as I know (never played or modded DST), you may be able to use GetPlayer() and check it's prefab name.

GLOBAL.GetPlayer().prefab == "your_character_prefab"
