Help: Tree-related sanity attributes?

[chizuu]

Hi! I'm very new to the world of Don't Starve modding and lua, and I was wondering if I could get some help?

 

I'm trying to make a character whose sanity benefits from evergreen trees. Either restoring sanity gradually from being around the trees(similar to how Willow would gain sanity from being around fire), or obtaining a small amount of sanity from chopping trees down(around the same amount as one would get from pocking a flower).

 

I've tried altering Willow's sanity code for fire in her prefabs, but I'm not sure if I've done it correctly, as it's just resulted in the game crashing and/or nothing happening. Is there any way I could get some help?

 

Thanks!

If the game crashes, u should look in your logfile why it crashed.(C:\Users\youruser\Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve\log.txt).

u can also add print()-statements to the code to output values at differnet points of the code, so u can find out why it doesnt happen the way u want.

both of these things are in any luatutorials in here, which leads me to believe u didnt read any of them :/

u can also post the code here if u want us to have a look at it.

use spoilertags

--lot of code

Hello and welcome to the modding community of Don't Starve. If you haven't had any coding experiences before, prepare for after hours. Nah, just kidding

 

Willow is very complicated, don't use her stuff. If you have the RoG DLC, look at wathgirthr. There's also a mod character or two which have similiar perks.

 

I recommend to try to understand basic Lua statements first, followed by the pine cone prefab, and maybe this or that inbetween.

You make spoiler tags like the following, but without spaces:

Oh, okay! My apologies. I'll give those LUA pages a read before I try to figure out the rest, so I can get a better idea of what I'm doing. Thank you both for the responses!
