[HELP] Perk: Ability to plant flowers from seeds

[Donnervogel]

So since butterflies can be planted to create flowers, would it be possible to code it so that seeds can as well? And then would it be possible to restrict that ability to a specific character?

@Donnervogel, Yep, use AddPrefabPostInit on seeds to give them the deployable component:

inst:AddComponent("deployable")inst.components.deployable.ondeploy = OnDeploy

Then in OnDeploy, it's the exact same code as with butterflies:

local function OnDeploy(inst, pt)     local flower = SpawnPrefab("flower") -- spawns a flower    if flower then        flower:PushEvent("growfrombutterfly")        flower.Transform:SetPosition(pt:Get()) -- moves it to where you clicked        inst.components.stackable:Get():Remove() -- removes seeds from your inventory    endend

And to restrict it only to a specific character, you have to override the Deploy function of deployable to add your own verification:

local old_Deploy = inst.components.deployable.Deployinst.components.deployable.Deploy = function(self, pt, deployer)    if deployer:HasTag("seed_deployer") then        return old_Deploy(self, pt, deployer)    else        deployer.components.talker:Say("I can't do that.")    end    return falseend

You'll just have to add the seed_deployer tag (you can rename it) to your character.

You can even make the character say something if they can't plant a seed
