sanityaura - how does it work?

[SenL]

I'm looking at alwaysontikitorch and it gives sanity aura... the code:

 

inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")

    inst.components.sanityaura.aura = TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY

 

The sanityaura component lua is:

local SanityAura = Class(function(self, inst)

    self.inst = inst

    self.aura = 0

    self.aurafn = nil

    self.penalty = nil

end)

 

function SanityAura:GetAura(observer)

if self.aurafn then

return self.aurafn(self.inst, observer)

end

return self.aura

end

 

return SanityAura

 

Nothing about giving or taking away sanity.

How does it work?

 

Thanks.

@SenL, The sanityaura component doesn't take away sanity by itself. Instead, the sanity component looks at the values of the sanityaura components of entities around you and add them to the the character's overall sanity drop/gain rate.

 

It all happens in the Recalc method of sanity:

local aura_delta = 0	local x,y,z = self.inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x,y,z, TUNING.SANITY_EFFECT_RANGE, nil, {"FX", "NOCLICK", "DECOR","INLIMBO"} ) -- this looks for all mobs around the player    for k,v in pairs(ents) do 		if v.components.sanityaura and v ~= self.inst then -- checks if they have a sanity aura			local distsq = self.inst:GetDistanceSqToInst(v)			local aura_val = v.components.sanityaura:GetAura(self.inst)/math.max(1, distsq)			if aura_val < 0 then				aura_val = aura_val * self.neg_aura_mult			end			aura_delta = aura_delta + aura_val		end    end

self.rate = (dapper_delta + light_delta + aura_delta + rain_delta) -- this adds the sum of all sanity auras to the overall sanity rate

Ooh I see.

Thanks.
