[Query] Does inst.AnimState:SetMultColour not work in DST?

[Nyogtha]

I have been trying to set up a transparent character, and the code doesn't seem to work.

 

Perhaps I am putting it in the wrong place (I have been putting it under local master_postinit = function(inst) )

Anyone have any advice? 

 

I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I've used it, so, it definitely does use it. You must be doing something wrong, without your code however its impossible to tell what.

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/druidb.zip" ),        Asset( "ANIM", "anim/ghost_druidb_build.zip" ),}local prefabs = {}local start_inv = {-- Custom starting items}local common_postinit = function(inst) inst.soundsname = "maxwell"inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "druidb.tex" )endlocal master_postinit = function(inst)-- Stats         inst.AnimState:SetMultColour(1, 1, 1, 0.5)        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(100)        inst.components.hunger:SetMax(100)        inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)endreturn MakePlayerCharacter("druidb", prefabs, assets, common_postinit, master_postinit, start_inv)

Behold!

I have no idea what is keeping it from working.

Hmm, seems to be correct. The way I used it was when equipping an amulet. So it doesnt happen when the character gets created. Looking through some of the code there seem to be several places where it can get reset to default including on spawn.

 

Looking into it I cant really find a good event to plug in to that triggers after the effect ends. There seems to be only one function, which is Show().

inst._Show = inst.Showinst.Show = function (inst) inst._Show() inst.AnimState:SetMultColour(1, 1, 1, 0.5)end

I'd definitely consider this a hack and not a clean solution tho

[Nyogtha]

Not entirely sure where to drop that into the character's code. 

 

It seems like it should work from master_postinit

Blegh

@Nyogtha,

There is actually an OverrideMultColour, you might want to try using that before doing the hacky stuff I suggested

[Nyogtha]

Oh! Finally!!!

 

That was it, thanks!
