Make the character resurrect with their custom items?

[halfrose]

While looking through the whole 'starting items' thing in the prefabs, and it raised a question;

 

If one were to make a character with a starting item, and you wanted to, in case the character resurrects from any resurrection item (amulet, effigy, touchstone) to have the items back by re-spawning the items into the inventory without console commands. How possible and how difficult would it be to make that?

Well, Lucy the axe teleports into your hands without an issue, it's not hard to do I guess.

...Ok, now I really need to test this, because I never happened to die and revive through an effigy or anything with Woodie, infact, I never died as Woodie at all, so I had no idea the ax respawns in the hands of the player.

...Time to go open Woodie and Lucy's lua file then!

I had the same Idea to have a weapon the respawn your self when you died. The thing that you can't have the item stay in the inventory because it won't drop when you die. but if your respawning any way there is no need. so here is the code I use.

 

MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("hauntable")
    inst.components.hauntable:SetHauntValue(TUNING.HAUNT_INSTANT_REZ)

This code would go for the character prefab or the object prefab?

(I am assuming it is the character prefab or the modmain.lua)

[NecroAnbu]

Its for an object prefab. I used it on my custom sword and it works fine.

I actually just attempted to use this to see if it works, it is just leading me to crashes with the game telling me the 

MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)

is not being speficied

are you sure you just added that and nothing else like the ' local function' or Postinit or the definition of the inst in it?

[NecroAnbu]

Here is the prefab for my sword. I am not very good at scripting but I put it together from the "Law" character mod.

 

local assets=
{
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/necroanbusword.zip"),
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/swap_necroanbusword.zip"),

    Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/necroanbusword.xml"),
    Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/necroanbusword.tex"),
}

local prefabs =
{
}

local function fn(colour)

    local function OnEquip(inst, owner)
        --owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_necroanbuswords", "purplestaff")
        owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_necroanbusword", "necroanbusword")
        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")
        owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")
    end

    local function OnUnequip(inst, owner)
        owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")
        owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")
    end

    local inst = CreateEntity()
    local trans = inst.entity:AddTransform()
    local anim = inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)
    
    anim:SetBank("necroanbusword")
    anim:SetBuild("necroanbusword")
    anim:PlayAnimation("idle")

    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "necroanbusword"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/necroanbusword.xml"
    
    inst:AddComponent("equippable")
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( OnEquip )
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( OnUnequip )

    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(50)

    inst:AddComponent("tool")
    inst.components.tool:SetAction(ACTIONS.CHOP, 15)
    inst.components.tool:SetAction(ACTIONS.MINE, 15)

    MakeHauntableLaunch(inst)
    inst:AddComponent("hauntable")
    inst.components.hauntable:SetHauntValue(TUNING.HAUNT_INSTANT_REZ)


    return inst
end

return  Prefab("common/inventory/necroanbusword", fn, assets, prefabs)

Also don't know if it makes a difference but I tested it with DST and it work fine. So i am not sure if it works with DS

Yeah I guess it is indeed just a DST thing, seeing that I placed just exactly as you did, and it made me crash on DS. but it was at least worth the try, I actually found a mod from another user that actually has a coding that seems to do what I questioned, now I just need to make it work with a few changes.
