Checking stats

[TheShadeofTheNorth]

I'm trying to make a constant check of the current hunger of my character like  : 

 

if  inst.components.hunger.current  < 100 theninst.components.health.maxhealth =  TUNING.WATHGRITHR_HEALTH * 0.8end

I don't get crashes, but it just doesn't work. What am i doing wrong?

When does that fire? You need to check it every now and then.

When does that fire? You need to check it every now and then.

So to make the constant check i need to make a loop?  With do while? This is where the code is located:

 

 

local fn = function(inst)-- 1inst.soundsname = "wolfgang"-- 2inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "wilson.png" )-- 3inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(200)inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE*1.25)inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = TUNING.WATHGRITHR_DAMAGE_MULTinst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 5inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 7if  inst.components.hunger.current  < 100 theninst.components.health.maxhealth =  TUNING.WATHGRITHR_HEALTH * 0.8inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 4inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 6end

Maybe if i use a boolean value like the wolfgang prefab it'll work?

Do NOT make a while loop. That will run indefinitely, effectively freezing the game.

 

Use this instead (period of 1 second for example purposes):

 

inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, function()

    if  inst.components.hunger.current  < 100 then

    inst.components.health.maxhealth =  TUNING.WATHGRITHR_HEALTH * 0.8

    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 4

    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 6

    end

end)

@TheShadeofTheNorth You can use an eventlistener, which will execute every time hunger is changed.

inst:ListenForEvent("hungerdelta", function(inst, data)	if (data.newpercent < 100) then -- current hunger percent		-- ...	else -- when it becomes more than or equal to 100		-- ...	endend)

OOOOH , now i understood  .I made something similar to what you did BlueBerrys  with  a local function  and i put  the eventlistener in local fn = function(inst) . 

 

The only problem is , apparently , it only checks one time and the "else" part of the code doesn't work.  The code mobbstar showed worked  like  a charm , i never knew that  inst:DoPeriodicTask  existed.  Sorry for  my bad english, not my first language.
