Modding Char Help

[incognitox]

Hey Guys, i'm making a character, and when he eat a seed(just for test), he gain speed move, but i can't set a time for the buff, he gain infinite speed, and i want a temporary gain, i can't make the time in buff, i try to use the looping "for" and "while" but don't work in DST

 

In Cmd works fine the looping making a timer, but in DST don't, here's my code:

 

i try use like this in cmd using just .lua :
 

-- This make the count, making 20sec in the cmd, if u guys wanna test

 

for i = 20000, 0, -1 do

      print(i)

      if i > 0 then

        print("buff")

      end

       if i == 0 then

         print("normal")

      end

end

print("end")

 

after i try something like this using while, another time in cmd, and works fine, but fail in the DST

 

 

for i = 20000, 0, -1 do

 

while i > 0 do

print(i)

i = 1- i

 

if i == 0 then

print("parei")

end

end

 

end

print("end")

 

-----------------------------------

So, here's my code

 

    local function OnEat(inst,food)

    

      if food.components.edible

           and food.components.edible.foodtype == "SEEDS" then --edible food has these types too 

 

           for i = 20000, 0, -1  do

                while i > 0 do

                    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 15  

                    i = 1 - i

                    if i == 0 then

                        inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 5  

                    end 

                end  

            end

        end

    end

 

......

 

-- This initializes for the host only

local master_postinit = function(inst)

-- choose which sounds this character will play

inst.soundsname = "wilson"

-- Stats

 

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)

inst.components.hunger:SetMax(100)

inst.components.sanity:SetMax(200)

    inst.components.builder.science_bonus = 1

    -- Velocidade em 10 quando tomar café

 

    inst:AddComponent("eater")

    inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(OnEat)

    

 

    end

 

If u guys can help me, i appreciate ^-^

I assume your problem is that the loop doesn't run parallel to game ticks. You shouldn't use loops for that kind of stuff in Don't Starve.

 

I don't know if this behaves any special in DST, but in DS there are special methods scattered around various utility files. For example, you can use the following:

inst:DoTaskInTime(time,function,arguments_other_than_inst)

If you want the time to be long, you may need to set "onsave" and "onload" functions to keep the temporary effects saved. Shorter timespans are insignificant and not worth the effort.

Thx  man, my function works now, i make that

 

local function OnEat(inst,food)

    if food.components.edible

           and food.components.edible.foodtype == "SEEDS" then --edible food has these types too 

           inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 12

           inst:DoTaskInTime(30, function(inst) inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED end)

        end

    end
