Ignore an ingredient in any recipe ... how?

[SenL]

Let's say I want a char that would ignore any ingredient of "cutgrass" from any recipe (since he's made of grass, lol) -- this includes any recipes (original or mod) -- is this possible? How (hints)?

 

Example:

Grass bomb (I just made that up). Ingredients:

Cut grass = 10

Flint = 1

Nitre = 2

 

Recipe then becomes

Flint = 1

Nitre = 2

(can still show Cut grass = 10 but won't use any cut grass)

 

Thanks.

grass = 10 but won't use any cut grass)  

Hmm... Well, I think it uses the inventory:Has function to check that, so maybe you could override that function to always return true if it's asking for cutgrass?

I think it uses the inventory:Has function to check that, 

Sorry, which component/prefab/widget should I look?

I looked at widgets\crafting.lua but it looks like that's only for UI.

Thanks!

 

Edit:

How about this?

function Inventory:ConsumeByName(item, amount)

in components\inventory.lua

@SenL, No, that won't work because it will still be like "welp, don't got any grass, can't make it". So it won't ever get to consumebyname. But you will probably have to modify that too, so it doesn't eat what grass you do have.

I'm not sure but maybe take a look on metatables. You could add you own behaviour to AllRecipes variable.

I guess you could maybe do something like give him a stack of grass and replenish that stack whenever any is used? idk if that's really of any use, just an idea if it happens to be easier to implement XD
