Game ignores custom food script

[YordlePrincess]

I made a custom food and gave it stats, but I want to change the things it does if a certain character eats it, so I wrote this lines...but of course the game ignores it completly..can someone explain me why? :/

 

Thanks a lot 

AddPrefabPostInit("custom_food", function(inst)    local _oneatenfn = inst.components.edible.oneatenfn     inst.components.edible.oneatenfn = function( inst, eater)        if eater and eater.components.health and eater.prefab == "custom_character" then            eater.components.health:DoDelta(TUNING.HEALING_MEDLARGE)            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        else            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        end     endend)

AddPrefabPostInit("custom_food", function(inst)    print("Okay, custom food exists.")    local _oneatenfn = inst.components.edible.oneatenfn    if not _oneatenfn then print("Btw old oneaten is nil!!! Your bad.") end      inst.components.edible.oneatenfn = function( inst, eater)        print("Custom OnEaten works! eater = "..tostring(eater)..", food = "..tostring(inst))        if eater and eater.components.health and eater.prefab == "custom_character" then            print("Everything should be okay!")            eater.components.health:DoDelta(TUNING.HEALING_MEDLARGE)            print("Executing old oneat fn...")            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        else            print("Something goes wrong... eater.components.health = "..tostring(eater.components.health)..", eater.prefab = "..tostring(eater.prefab))            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        end      endend)

You're right it stucks on the oneaten is nill part :/ not sure what can I do against it...I've tried some alternatives without any progress

AddPrefabPostInit("custom_food", function(inst)    print("Okay, custom food exists.")    local _oneatenfn = inst.components.edible.oneatenfn    if not _oneatenfn then print("Btw old oneaten is nil!!! Your bad.") end      inst.components.edible.oneatenfn = function( inst, eater)        print("Custom OnEaten works! eater = "..tostring(eater)..", food = "..tostring(inst))        if eater and eater.components.health and eater.prefab == "custom_character" then            print("Everything should be okay!")            eater.components.health:DoDelta(TUNING.HEALING_MEDLARGE)            print("Executing old oneat fn...")            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        else            print("Something goes wrong... eater.components.health = "..tostring(eater.components.health)..", eater.prefab = "..tostring(eater.prefab))            _oneatenfn( inst, eater )        end      endend)

It's a custom food, right? That means it doesn't has a oneatenfn yet, that's why it's nil.

Just don't do anything if the eater wasn't your character. Also, if you're making a custom edible, don't use AddPrefabPostInit, instead put the code inside your food's prefab, like so:

local function fn()...	inst.components.edible.oneatenfn = function( inst, eater)		if eater and eater.components.health and eater.prefab == "custom_character" then			eater.components.health:DoDelta(TUNING.HEALING_MEDLARGE)		end	endend

If you are modifying an existing food, just add a check asking if the function isn't nil before calling it.

I tried your method but it still ignores it I've tried to check but it doesn't print anything where does it stuck

Hmm, could you upload the file where you are trying to modify the food? (modmain.lua or mycustomfood.lua). I think it'd be easier to take a look at the code as a whole.

It's

inst.components.edible.oneaten

No fn there.
