Help with mod

[Mbfox]

Hello!

I'm looking to implement three features, all of which i have no idea how to do.

1) Stop peaceful animals running away

2) Remove the shadow of my character
 

3) Remove the indicator for my character

Thanks in advance for any help

 

Edit: I am awful at modding so please guide me through like I'm a 5 year old

@Mbfox,

the MakePlayerCharacter function on the bottom of your characterprefab is just a shortcut for all the stuff that actually has to be done to set up your characters, which u can find in player_common.lua

to disable your shadow:

inst.DynamicShadow:Enable(false)

to disable your minimapicon(which i guess u meant with "indicator"):

inst.MiniMapEntity:SetEnabled(false)

As for the creatures running away: u have to look into their brains (eg pigbrain.lua), to find the reason why the run away. usually they use a function called RunAway within the PriorityNode(which lists the behaviours the creature follows, the most prior at the top). Most creatures check for the "scarytoprey" Tag in their RunAway function, which again gets added to your character within player_common.lua.

so u can stop most(!) creatures from running away from u, by removing the "scarytoprey" Tag from your character:

inst:RemoveTag("scarytoprey")

@Seiai, Thanks so much! I've already disabled the map icon i just need to disable the indicators around the side of the screen.

@Mbfox,

i think this works via playertargetindicator.lua, but iam not completely sure if there's an easy way to disable it, u could try:

inst:RemoveComponent("playertargetindicator")
