Max Health

[jjdamstra]

I'm trying to set it so than my max health = starting health + the day number so my health will increase everyday i stay alive 

[Mobbstar]

You need a function that updates the max health, and fire it every new day. My suggestion:

 

local function SetHealth(inst)
    inst.components.health.maxhealth = BASE_VALUE + PER_DAY * GetClock().numcycles --change the capitalised values
end

local function fn() --you already have this line
[...] --some stuff
    inst:ListenForEvent("daytime",SetHealth)

end

inst:ListenForEvent("daytime",SetHealth)

The "daytime" event is only sent to prefabs that have the clock component. I don't think it's sent to the player.

(clock.lua)

self.inst:PushEvent("daytime", {day=self.numcycles}) 

Use GetWorld() in place of inst.

How do I setup that function to do the listenevent. This is what I have just for testing the event. 

 

local GetClock = GLOBAL.GetClock

local GetWorld = GLOBAL.GetWorld

 

local function SetHealth(inst)

    inst.components.health.maxhealth = 200

end

 

local function test( inst )

inst.components.health.maxhealth = 150

GetWorld():ListenForEvent("daytime",SetHealth)

end

 

AddPrefabPostInit("wilson", test)

 

But can't get it to work. I get this error

 

../mods/1TESTING/modmain.lua:5: attempt to index field 'health' (a nil value)
