Want prefab to drop more loot

[SenL]

I tried this but it doesn't work

 

local function DropMore(inst)

  inst.components.lootdropper:SpawnLootPrefab("goldnugget") --test

end

 

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_summer",DropMore)

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_winter",DropMore)

 

What's the correct way of doing this?

 

Thanks.

It depends on what prefab you are going to tweak.

For koalefant:

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_summer",function(inst)	table.insert(inst.components.lootdropper.loot,"goldnugget")end)

​

I will try but last time we tried this on tree, (adds a twigs everytime a tree is chopped) the tree yields 1 twigs and then next tree = 2 twigs, and next tree = 3 twigs etc.

[Maris]

For tree it's not easy because trees changes their loot dynamically depending on stage.

Oh ok. It works but it gives 2 gold.

I added prefab post init twice one for summer and one for winter.

I spawned and killed a winter but got 2 gold instead of 1.

(next kill = 2 gold, next kill after that = 2 gold so it's good)

 

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_summer",function(inst)

table.insert(inst.components.lootdropper.loot, "goldnugget")

end)

 

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_winter",function(inst)

table.insert(inst.components.lootdropper.loot, "goldnugget")

end)

 

Hm...

@SenL, Try using AddChanceLoot:

inst.components.lootdropper:AddChanceLoot("goldnugget", 1)

You can also change the chance of loot.

@SenL, 

 

I suspect there was two koalefants in your level when you tested this (or at least two had been spawned)? All koalefants_summer share the same loot table, so if you spawn two koalefants the loot table is modified twice. You'd have to keep track of whether you already modified it so you won't do it again for the next spawned koalefant (and the next and the next and.....by the time you get to your 10th koalefant it'd be dropping 10 gold)

[SenL]

@Jjmarco That seems to work.

@bizziboi I used c_spawn ... also thanks for suggestion.

Hm, client gets a crash on 1st day of winter but not immediately.

Crash on lootdropper being nil.

 

Code:

AddPrefabPostInit("koalefant_winter",function(inst)

  inst.components.lootdropper:AddChanceLoot("mycustomitem", 1)

end

 

I do have "Koalefant family" mod which adds baby koalefant.

Should I change to:

 

if not inst.components.lootdropper then

  inst.components.lootdropper:AddChanceLoot("mycustomitem", 1)

end

 

or is it safe to change it to:

 

if not inst.components.lootdropper then

  inst:AddComponents("lootdropper")

end

inst.components.lootdropper:AddChanceLoot("mycustomitem", 1)

 

?

Thanks.

@SenL, no...that crash means you are trying to add the lootdropper component or call lootdropper component on the client's machine. You need to not do that by using 'if not TheWorld.ismastersim then return inst end' code.

Crap... does this apply to anything else or just AddPrefabPostInit in modmain?

I recommend you read the stickied topics at the top of this subforum. You'll learn a lot of the answers you're seeking. To answer your question, code which only needs to be ran on the server that code should be applied so it doesn't run on the client.
