Curious about sanity.penalty being applied globally

[seronis]

Is the penalty applied in a sanityaura really supposed to be applied globally, ignoring distance to player?  In the sanity component you see the following code for determining penalty:

function Sanity:RecalculatePenalty()   self.penalty = 0   for k,v in pairs(Ents) do      if v.components.sanityaura and v.components.sanityaura.penalty then         self.penalty = self.penalty + v.components.sanityaura.penalty      end   end   self:DoDelta(0)end

Unless im forgetting something 'Ents' is the global entity list.  The code above isnt checking how far away these sources are.  Is this intended behavior ?

Is it used by the game? No. Is it possibly more complicated to arrange than it seems at first? I don't know.

Except it is called by the game.  GameLogic.lua  line 873 during world init.  Err also shadowwaxwell.lua line 29 and waxwelljournal.lua line 53.   So its being used by the game definitely. Im just curious if its a bug that distances are not checked.

The sanity penalty is not applied to the current sanity, but to the max sanity.

(sanity.lua)

function Sanity:GetMaxSanity()	return (self.max - self.penalty)end

You are correct that it checks globally, and that is the intended behaviour. Shadowwaxwell decreases the player's max sanity when spawned, regardless of where he is in the world.

Yeah i know its applying to max sanity which will drop your current sanity if it was above the new max. Im making some personal tweaks to how max sanity is determined and I wanted to make sure I wasnt making bad assumptions about the penalty, and if this was considered a bug i was just gonna fix the bug in my code. And mostly since im making max sanity a dynamically changing thing i didnt want to introduce any bugs as i mess around with it.
