How to make a character not eat.

[Dryicefox]

I am looking to make a character that cannot eat.

 

They will only be able to eat one thing.

 

How would I code this for a character?

[DarkXero]

-- in modmain

GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.UNIQUE = "UNIQUE"

-- in the only thing you can eat prefab

inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.UNIQUE

-- in your character's prefab

-- (to make the character only eat UNIQUEs)

inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })

-- (to make the character spit out non UNIQUEs)

inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })

Thanks! And how would I add the foodtype to the item I want them to be able to eat?

 

Also got foodtype not declared in modmain

@Dryicefox, it would be not declared if you put all three lines in the modmain.

 

This goes in modmain.lua:

GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.UNIQUE = "UNIQUE"

This goes in whatever edible prefab files (read myprefab.lua in scripts/prefabs) you want to eat:

inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.UNIQUE

This goes in your character's master_postinit (read inside master_postinit function of mycharacter.lua in scripts/prefabs):

inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })

If you want to dump it all in modmain.lua, I suppose you can go like this:

local FOODTYPE = GLOBAL.FOODTYPElocal FOODGROUP = GLOBAL.FOODGROUPFOODTYPE.UNIQUE = "UNIQUE"local uniqueedile = "log"AddPrefabPostInit(uniqueedile, function(inst)	inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.UNIQUEend)local mycharacter = "wilson"AddPrefabPostInit(mycharacter, function(inst)	inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })end)

I'm using normal DS. I am still getting the same problem FOODTYPE undeclared.

 

I will, however be using the character in DST as well, So this is helpful

[DarkXero]

@Dryicefox, you should have mentioned you were using DS.

 

In DS there is no FOODTYPE table holding all the types.

 

You directly do, for instance:

inst.components.edible.foodtype = "UNIQUE"

and inside your character:

inst.components.eater.foodprefs = { "UNIQUE" }

How would I insert these values into currently existing data.

Like I would want to make rocks edible. How would I go about it without editing the rocks prefab in my mod?

 

I've used inst:addcomponent with no luck

@Dryicefox, you would use AddPrefabPostInit as shown earlier in this thread and then add the edible component.

 

 

AddPrefabPostInit("rocks1", function(inst)    inst:AddComponent("edible")    inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.UNIQUEend)

This may be slightly different for DS just check butterflywings.lua or any other thing that is already edible to see how the edible component is used. Also it seems that rocks have quite a few different prefabs, you'll have to do this for each one that you want edible.

If you are trying to make your character eat rocks I would recommend calling the food type rocks instead of unique however since it makes more sense.

inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })

If you want to dump it all in modmain.lua, I suppose you can go like this:

local FOODTYPE = GLOBAL.FOODTYPElocal FOODGROUP = GLOBAL.FOODGROUPFOODTYPE.UNIQUE = "UNIQUE"local uniqueedile = "log"AddPrefabPostInit(uniqueedile, function(inst)	inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.UNIQUEend)local mycharacter = "wilson"AddPrefabPostInit(mycharacter, function(inst)	inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODTYPE.UNIQUE }, { FOODTYPE.UNIQUE })end)

Getting an error that states that it could not index the edible variable.

This was done by using modmain only.

[Dryicefox]

Anyone understand why?

[DarkXero]

@Dryicefox, you put

inst:AddComponent("edible")

in your item, right?

Oh, I'm so silly. I have lost all faith in myself at this point. I don't even know how I missed something so simple.

 

Thanks a lot!
