Help with my hat

[Crestonia]

I have a hat mod and I was wondering how I put a sanity gain it. Also I was wondering how to add it to a character mod I was making. Does anyone have any advice?

[ELEMENTALCRAFTER009]

inst:AddComponent("dapperness")

inst.components.dapperness.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY

for a sanity gain

Thanks for the advice But does anyone know how to transfer a hat to a character mod to make it a part of it?

transfer a hat to a character mod to make it a part of it?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want it to be something only that character can craft, a unique item they start, with, or what?

 

You can use add the prefab file for the hat to your mod's scripts/prefabs folder, which is where your character should be. You'll also have to add it to the PrefabFiles table in the modmain. There are several character mods that add custom items (with both of the approaches I suggested above), so you can check how those do it.

@rezecib I'm sorry! I meant a unique item when they start

inst:AddComponent("dapperness")

inst.components.dapperness.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY

for a sanity gain

 

Idk what's going on, but whenever I give myself the item, it doesn't raise my sanity. I was wondering where to I paste it into the prefab (just in case I'm doing it wrong.)

[rezecib]

@Crestonia, show us your current version of the prefab file? It should be in the fn() (the function that gets passed to the Prefab(...) constructor, usually called simply "fn"), after the part where it says "if not TheWorld.ismastersim then return inst end"

 

To make it a unique item that they start with, just add it to their starter_inv (it should be a list in your character's prefab, empty by default).

@rezecib Here's the prefab

hat_bee_bw.lua

You put in the local function fn() anywhere below the inst.entity:SetPristine()

I ran into an error... I tried to basically paste the hat mod into a character mod and it says

oh and also here's the file. I don't know how to solve the issue about the modmain, I looked at a mod on steam and used it as a reference, and I don't know what I did wrong. I hope someone can help.

@Crestonia, You're missing the comma after "esctemplate"

[Crestonia]

@rezecib It didn't crash, but the hat did not start in the character's inventory either. Do you know how to fix this?

[rezecib]

@Crestonia, You never added it to the starter inventory in your character's prefab... this part:

local start_inv = {	-- Custom starting items	}

Thank you
