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 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.
