Custom Character needs special sanity settings.

[shadedareas]

If anyone could look this over and tell me if I'm right or I've missed anything obvious... or am misapplying the code... I'd very much appreciate it.

I posted this in the wrong forum earlier and instead of getting much help I got asked if I bothered to search the forums. I promise I have read through everything I can find on sanity... I'm just having trouble grasping it and have zero confidence in my approach on this. And I'm not totally inept... earlier today I created another character who takes sanity losses for each tree they cut down. I do get some of this.

 

Here are my attempts. Again... I seem to be lacking some fundamental understanding of how sanity works so go easy on me.

1. Goal : Lower general decrease of sanity

	inst.components.sanity:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_SANITY_RATE * 0.7)

2. Goals : When around other people, I want those people to get a sanity boost... and him to get a sanity drain.

 inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")       inst.components.sanityaura.aura = TUNING.SANITYAURA_LARGE

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function(inst, observer)    if observer then        return -TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL    else    return 0end

3. Goals : If possible I'd also like to give him a sanity boost at night or when it's raining

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function(inst)    if TheWorld.state.israining then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED    else    return 0end

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function()    local night = GLOBAL.TheWorld.state.isnight    local dusk = GLOBAL.TheWorld.state.isdusk    if night then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED    else    if dusk then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL    else        return 0    endend

(earlier I was trying for the gain to come from fishing but because of the flack I got I figure I should try something I understand better)

@shadedareas,

is that all like in your code at the same time? because if yes, then u are overwriting your earlier changes on the custom_rate_fn. meaning that while daytime, it always ends up at "return 0".^^

u have to combine that all into one function. just start with a local sanitybonus-variable of 0 and then add the different bonuses or maluses and return it in the end.

I don't think I understand coding enough to know what you mean. :-\

I just sort of found examples close to what I want and edited them.

I think I understand your meaning... that ... if it's night but not raining that the not raining makes it zero and vice versa.

I don't know how to make this all one function.

[shadedareas]

would this be what you meant @Seiai ?
 

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function(inst, observer)    local night = GLOBAL.TheWorld.state.isnight    local dusk = GLOBAL.TheWorld.state.isdusk    if observer then        return -TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL    else    if TheWorld.state.israining then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED    else    if night then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED    else    if dusk then        return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL    else        return TUNING.WILSON_SANITY_RATE * (0.7)end

Now it's crashing... :-\ so im guessing i did this wrong.

-- There is no such SetRate function in DST's sanity component

-- Goal 1

-- in character's master_postinit

inst.components.sanity.rate_modifier = 0.7

-- Goal 2

-- You give other people sanity

-- in character's master_postinit

inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")

inst.components.sanityaura.aurafn = function(inst, observer)

return TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY

end

-- Other people reduce your character's sanity

-- I check for other possible sanityauras for compatibility with other character mods

-- in modmain

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)

if not inst.prefab == "mycharacter" then

if not inst.components.sanityaura then

inst:AddComponent("sanityaura")

end

local old = inst.components.sanityaura.aurafn

if old then

inst.components.sanityaura.aurafn = function(inst, observer)

if observer.prefab == "mycharacter" then

return -GLOBAL.TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY + old(inst, observer)

else

return old(inst, observer)

end

end

else

inst.components.sanityaura.aurafn = function(inst, observer)

if observer.prefab == "mycharacter" then

return -GLOBAL.TUNING.SANITYAURA_TINY

else

return 0

end

end

end

end

end)

-- Goal 3

-- in character's master_postinit

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function(inst)

if TheWorld.state.isnight or TheWorld.state.israining then

return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED

else

return 0

end

end

-- Bonus!

-- elseif example

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = function(inst)

if TheWorld.state.isday then

return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY

elseif TheWorld.state.isnight then

return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED

elseif TheWorld.state.israining then

return TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED_LARGE

end

end

Woah. Yeah... I never would've figured all that out on my own. Thank you so much, DarkXero !
