Possible to allow a meat eater to also eat ice?

[ShadowGX]

...or other select items, like honey too maybe? That would be the extent of it. Always bugged me that meat eaters can't eat frozen water... I'm in the process of re-coloring an existing mod and, thanks to the tutorial, I found where but not how I might add things like this. It currently says this in the scripts\prefabs\character.lua:

    inst.components.eater.strongstomach = true
    local caneat = inst.components.eater.caneat
    for i, v in ipairs(caneat) do
        inst:RemoveTag((type(v) == "table" and v.name or v).."_eater")
    end
    inst.components.eater.caneat = {FOODTYPE.MEAT}
    inst.components.eater.preferseating = {FOODTYPE.MEAT}
    inst:AddTag(FOODTYPE.MEAT.."_eater")

 

I don't see anywhere else that food is mentioned (yet, am exploring the different files still), so I might assume this is where I would change it, yes or no? I'm brand new to modding for this game and am not skilled with textures, so the most I will ever be doing is re-coloring existing mods and maybe tweaking other things like this. There was another mod I asked the author to make tweaks like this on, but if I can figure it out with your help I could do it myself.

 

Thanks for any replies. ^^

I mean i can understand the ICE part since you can always use it too cool you down if you have loads of it in the fridge but you can always combine it, as-well the honey and all other vegies to make the meat recipes.

So i understand the concept you trying to achiv but i still don't se a problem with the current one

But that is just my opion.

I suppose that the purpose is to be able to refresh yourself in summer. And except in mod, you don't have recipe like ice cream with meat.

 

I don't know how to do what you want to do. But if it can help, there is this line in the "inv_rock_ice.lua" (prefab for ice)

 

    inst.components.edible.foodtype = "GENERIC"
 

So maybe adding a tag for "generic" food will be enough ?

Indeed, the purpose would be a quick on the fly fix for overheating. The only fixes without allowing ice would be specially crafted items which I would need to keep on me at all times when there's any danger of overheating.

 

If I add that tag in, would that make anything not labeled veggie or meat edible? Am not really sure what that might include. The wiki doesn't have a list, just a picture where I can only guess what some stuff is... Might break the balance of the character if he could eat all of those "other" type food things. But I guess it's not possible to add just one food item?

Hmm, it's probably possible, but i don't know how to do.

Try

local oldTestFoodfunction newTestFood(self,food,...)	if food.prefab == "ice" then		return true	end	return oldTestFood(self,food,...)endlocal oldPrefFoodfunction newPrefFood(self,food,...)	if food.prefab == "ice" then		return true	end		return oldPrefFood(self,food,...)endAddPrefabPostInit("wathgrithr",function(inst)	oldTestFood = inst.components.eater.CanEat	inst.components.eater.CanEat = newTestFood	oldPrefFood = inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat	inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat = newPrefFoodend

^ That crashed the mod when I added it. 3:

So fix it. And don't forget to put the code in server side section of your mod.
