seasonmanager a nil value

[Julian97]

I wanted my custom Character to act differently in different Seasons. But if i want to acces seasonmanager the Game just crashes and says that seasonmanager is a nil Value. I do not know what Value nil has. I only learned C++ so far.

 

Here is my Function:

local call_this_on_update = function(inst)	if not inst.components.seasonmanager.seasonmode == "caves" then		if inst.components.seasonmanager:IsSummer() then			Act like it's Summer.		end		if inst.components.seasonmanager:IsWinter() then			Act like it's Winter.		end	else		inst.components.health:StopRegen()	endend

The Function is run from this Line of Code that i put in the fn Function of Scripts/Prefabs/Character.lua :

inst:DoTaskInTime(10,function()call_this_on_update(inst)end)

@Julian97 nil in lua is essentially equivalent of null in c++

 

You're calling "call_this_on_update" and passing in the "inst" variable which refers to the player's instance. The seasonsmanager component is attached to the world, not the player.

You can use GetWorld() to get the world's instance.

local call_this_on_update = function(inst) -- This inst refers to the player                                           -- because of how you called it    local world_inst = GetWorld()    if not world_inst.components.seasonmanager.seasonmode == "caves" then        if world_inst.components.seasonmanager:IsSummer() then            -- Act like it's Summer.        end        if world_inst.components.seasonmanager:IsWinter() then            -- Act like it's Winter.        end    else        inst.components.health:StopRegen()    endend

I've already fixed it with the same Solution but Thanks anyway...

 

Still though . With older Problems being fixed newer do arrive .

I've tried to use some already implemented Sounds from the ROG Expansion with player.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/+SoundName") but this only works with Sounds from the Standart Game .

 

While i'm at it . Is there also a Variable/Function which tells you if ROG is installed ?

@Julian97 As with all assets, I think you need to use the correct path. Check out how the RoG files access the sounds you're trying to use.

 

Yes.

-- Returns boolean valueTheSim:IsDLCInstalled(GLOBAL.REIGN_OF_GIANTS)TheSim:IsDLCInstalled(1) -- If the first doesn't work
