New to Don't Starve modding, need help with gaining sanity from some foods

[Fireandthethud]

So basically my character will have the ability to eat "bad foods" as regular food, but at a cost to sanity.

The oneat() function so far is below:

local function oneat(inst, food)	Bad = {"monstermeat","cookedmonstermeat","green_cap","red_cap","blue_cap"}	for k, v in pairs(Bad) do		if food and food.components.edible and food.components.name == v then        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(TUNING.SANITY_TINY * 2)				else			end    endend

My issue is that when I do eat monster meats, the sanity bonus (its a positive number now as a test) won't register, and I'm curious why that is. Is it the way I have it searching the list? or is the 3rd condition of

food.components.name == v 

that is causing the problem? I haven't used Lua in a few years and I think those might be it.

make sure you use local Bad = {...}, and you can also try the print(...) function to read in the log whether the code fired and the values.

You're looking to match v against food.prefab, rather than food.components.name.

 

Prefabs have the property prefab, which is a string containing the name of the prefab, as well as the property name, which is a string containing the display name of the prefab(which is not necessarily unique).

 

The food component has neither of these properties.
