Is it possible to detect when a tree is chopped down or when rocks are mined?

[Fadingwhite]

As the title says Is it possible to detect when a tree is chopped down or when rocks are mined?

That is , when the actual loot is dropped, not during the animation phase. I know you can use a Listener somehow. Would it be possible to add a component to the player character that can listen to events in the world such as these? If so, how would it be done? Preferably something with Post Init.

Thanks!

local function check_worked(inst)	inst:ListenForEvent("workfinished", function(inst)		-- ...	end)endAddPrefabPostInit("rock1", check_worked)AddPrefabPostInit("rock2", check_worked)-- AddPrefabPostInit("prefab_name", check_worked)-- etc...

Check the workable component to see how the events are called.

("..\scripts\components\workable", copied for reference)

function Workable:WorkedBy(worker, numworks)    numworks = numworks or 1    self.workleft = self.workleft - numworks    self.lastworktime = GetTime()    worker:PushEvent("working", {target = self.inst})    self.inst:PushEvent("worked", {worker = worker, workleft = self.workleft})        if self.onwork then        self.onwork(self.inst, worker, self.workleft)    end    if self.workleft <= 0 then                if self.onfinish then self.onfinish(self.inst, worker) end                self.inst:PushEvent("workfinished")        worker:PushEvent("finishedwork", {target = self.inst, action = self.action})    endend

The worker pushes the event "working" with data.target being the tree, rock, structure, grave, etc.

Use this if you are making a character.

 

The tree, rock, etc. pushes an event as seen in BlueBerrys post.

Use this if your mod is character-independent.
