[Scripting] health decay

[Woodside235]

Is there a way to make health decay similar to the way sanity drops in the dark?

 

I have a character that takes sun damage and currently I'm using DoPeriodicTask and inst.components.health:DoDelta()

 

It works, but it's rather distracting to hear the health lost sound effect every second or so and to not have that fancy black arrow over the health bar.

The second parameter to health:DoDelta is a boolean.  If you pass true, it will not trigger a pulse.

What does each parameter of DoDelta do?

@Woodside235, function Health:DoDelta(amount, overtime, cause, ignore_invincible, afflicter)

@Woodside235, function Health:DoDelta(amount, overtime, cause, ignore_invincible, afflicter) 

 

If I set cause to something, will it not say "Player died to shenanigans" and instead "Player died to cause"? Or do I need to change the afflicter for that?

@Woodside235, try setting each one individually to test it.
