How to check beard stage for build changing?

[satuisaburda]

Making a character who survives off almost entirely off his beard and his body/build changes as it progresses based off the Drok characters beard

 

Snippet of it:

 

inst.components.beard.onreset = function()

                if not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then

                        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("bard")

                end

        end

 

        inst.components.beard.prize = "fur_shavings"

        local beard_days = {2,4,6,8}

        local beard_bits = {3,6,9,12}

 

        inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[1], function()

                if not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then

                        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[1]

                        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("bard_short")

                end

        end)

 

        inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[2], function()

                if not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then

                        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[2]

                        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("bard_medium")

                end

        end)

 

        inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[3], function()

                if not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then

                        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[3]

                        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("bard_long")

                end

        end)

 

        inst.components.beard:AddCallback(beard_days[4], function()

                if not inst:HasTag("playerghost") then

                        inst.components.beard.bits = beard_bits[4]

                        inst.AnimState:SetBuild("bard_full")

                end

        end)

 

The problem is my characters build resets to default/naked (But his beard stage stays the same) afther relogging until his beard progresses another stage. How do you save character build/check beard stage periodically and then change build accordingly?
