Sanity Boost From Fishing?

[WalrusMan]

Is there a way to give my character a sanity boost from fishing? If there is, please tell me?

[seronis]

Yes.  sanity.lua.  It has a hook that lets you inject a function to be used to modify sanity based on whatever conditions you deem appropriate

(Hehe, hook.) Can you tell me exactly how to make it so I can get a sanity boost from fishing?

Listen for the fishingcollect event. e.g.:

inst:ListenForEvent("fishingcollect",function() inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(10) end)

inst:ListenForEvent("fishingcollect",function() inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(10) end)

Where would I type this?

Where would I type this?

 

In your characters main function, where you presumably set the unique stats, minimap icon, voice, etc.

Ah, thanks.

Another thing, I typed in the... thing (in prefabs) for my character to not get get walrus aggro (if that's the right word) but it doesn't work. Do you know the correct... thing? (This is my first mod, so I know almost nothing. )

try adding

inst:AddTag("walrus")

to the fn in the character's prefab. (i did this with merms for my character, so merms just stare at my character )

Really? Where would I type that?

@WalrusMan, your characters main function.

Mine says modmain. I'm assuming that's it?

No, you put it in the same place as you put the line for listening for the event for fishing.

That didn't work. I typed it in and the game crashed with the log saying something like Could not load character. Maybe inst:AddTag("walrusfriend") would work?

I know walruses have ("houndfriend") so I thought of that.

im not sure how that would work

that might work, but can you send the log thou?

it might of been a typo

@WalrusMan, I'm almost 100% certain that inst:AddTag did not crash your game. 100% of the 'entities' in Don't Starve can have tags. Make sure you aren't adding it to a component or widget as those cannot have tags to my knowledge.

Meh. I typed it under my components along with the ListenForFishingThing.
