Mod doesn't read local function

[Cyde042]

 I have no idea why it won't work. It's asking for a GLOBAL.MakeLoot but that doesn't make sense (I tried it and it still didn't work, it was looking for the variable).

    local function New_OnGetItemFromPlayer(inst, giver, item)    if inst.components.sleeper:IsAsleep() then        inst.components.sleeper:WakeUp()    end    if item:HasTag("sunken_boat_special") then        --Spawn some special item, say some special string.        local str, loot = item:GiveCluefn()        inst.components.talker.colour = GLOBAL.Vector3(1 ,0.5, 0.5)        inst.components.talker:Say(str)        giftprefab = loot        delay = TUNING.TOTAL_DAY_TIME * 4.75        fly_off_time = 6    else		local str = SquawkScript(STRINGS.SUNKEN_BOAT_ACCEPT_TRADE[math.random(#STRINGS.SUNKEN_BOAT_ACCEPT_TRADE)])        inst.components.talker.colour = GLOBAL.Vector3(1 ,1, 1)        inst.components.talker:Say(str)        delay = TUNING.TOTAL_DAY_TIME * 0.75    end    if item.components.tradable.goldvalue > 0 then        for k = 1, item.components.tradable.goldvalue do	    local item = nil            print(num_trades)            MakeLoot(inst) --This one here, it creates the items that will drop from trader            dropitem(inst)            num_trades = num_trades - 1            print(num_trades)            CanLeave(inst)        end    end

And here is the function that creates the table.

local function MakeLoot(inst)    local possible_loot =    {        {chance = 20,    item = "rope"},        {chance = 30,    item = "seeds"},        {chance = 5, item = "purplegem"},        {chance = 5, item = "bluegem"},        {chance = 5, item = "redgem"},        {chance = 2, item = "orangegem"},        {chance = 2, item = "yellowgem"},        {chance = 2, item = "greengem"},        {chance = 30,    item = "seeds"},        {chance = 33, item = "feather_robin"},        {chance = 5,  item = "beardhair", "beardhair"},        {chance = 5,    item = "blueprint"},        {chance = 30,    item = "goldnugget"},    }    local totalchance = 0    for m, n in ipairs(possible_loot) do        totalchance = totalchance + n.chance    end    inst.loot = {}    local next_loot = nil    local next_chance = nil    local num_loots = 2    while num_loots > 0 do        next_chance = math.random()*totalchance        next_loot = nil        for m, n in ipairs(possible_loot) do            next_chance = next_chance - n.chance            if next_chance <= 0 then                next_loot = n.item                break            end        end        if next_loot ~= nil then            table.insert(inst.loot, next_loot)            num_loots = num_loots - 1        end    endend

I feel like I'm missing something really small.

Can I safely assume you put them in the right order?

 

*looking into it*

 

EDIT: You have "seeds" twice and "beardhair" contains a redundant copy of the string.

What do you mean by right order? The functions are written down in the shown order NewGetItem then Make Loot.

 

Unrelated question but, do you happen to know how to add to componentactions.lua?

What do you mean by what do I mean by right order? You're calling a function that has not been constructed yet. That's like feeding a child that hasn't been born into the world yet: it doesn't work.

 

And what is componentactions.lua? I never heard of that before, and I never really studied DST code, let alone modded for it.

Oh wow. I understood, I forgot about this, for some reason I thought it would just scan through the file and search for the function. I changed order and it worked.

 

Componentactions is in the scripts folder, it's in base game too. It assigns actions to prefabs that have a specific component. I know there is a snowball mod so I'll take a look at that later since I need a throw action.

 

Thanks!

It's not in the base game on my screen, component actions get created in actions.lua in the basegame. And they only get created, not assigned (for instance "dryer" also uses the harvestable action).

I think the snowball mod uses the existing projectile weapon type, or at least that's what I used in similiar context in the [CLASSIFIED] mod.

 

Good luck!

Yea, it was in DST, not the base game. But got that figured out already, just need to add separate Collect"type"Actions in a component.

 

Can you take a look at the progress so far? For now it's messy since I copied some of the changed components just to see if it works but it doesn't. I added everything that has to do with the waterballoon except the fx splash. The issue seems to be with the action.
