While this is located in modmain,

I tried different approaches but it seems all to be a failure. At first my character would eat goldnuggets, then i started tinkering with the code because my character won't eat anything besides the goldnuggets. Now my character will not eat goldnuggets and will eat the default food. The leveling is fine, no problem with the codes there. I'm just having trouble with the use of functions. If anyone can help or even just clarify what is wrong with the code, I'l gladly fix it. Thank you very much.

tldr; character should eat goldnuggets and meat, nothing else.

P.S. I've looked at a lot of topics and even tried inst.components.eater:SetCarnivore(true)

[Maris]

function SetCanEatGold(player)    table.insert(player.components.eater.preferseating, GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN)    table.insert(player.components.eater.caneat, GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN)    player:AddTag(FOODTYPE.HORRIBLE.."_eater")end

​

​

Also you have eater and edible components in one prefab. Are you sure with your code?

[Valkyrie19k]

function SetCanEatGold(player)    table.insert(player.components.eater.preferseating, GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN)    table.insert(player.components.eater.caneat, GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN)    player:AddTag(FOODTYPE.HORRIBLE.."_eater")end

That is what I've been trying to say though, I wasn't really sure what the problem was in the code so I just started mashing up different things trying to make it work. The eater wasn't supposed to be there. Just forgot to take it out. Frustration got the better of me.

I'll sleep it off for now. My head hurts with all this coding. -_-

@Valkyrie19k, instead of breaking gold for other mods, I suggest the following:

local function setCanEatMeatGold(inst)    local self = inst.components.eater    self:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI }, { FOODTYPE.MEAT })    self:SetCanEatRaw()    self.strongstomach = true    self.ignoresspoilage = true    table.insert(self.preferseating, FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL)    table.insert(self.caneat, FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL)    self.inst:AddTag(FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL.."_eater")    local _tf = self.TestFood    self.TestFood = function(self, food, testvalues)        if food and food:HasTag("edible_"..FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL) and food.prefab ~= "goldnugget" then            return        end        return _tf(self, food, testvalues)    end    inst:ListenForEvent("oneat", function(inst, data)        if data.food.prefab == "goldnugget" then            inst.components.health:DoDelta(10)            inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(-10)            inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(-12) -- -12 + 2 = -10        end    end)end

put this in your character's prefab and

setCanEatMeatGold(inst)

inside the master_postinit.

 

It would look like

-- This initializes for the server only. Components are added here.local master_postinit = function(inst)    -- choose which sounds this character will play    inst.soundsname = "willow"         -- Uncomment if "wathgrithr"(Wigfrid) or "webber" voice is used    --inst.talker_path_override = "dontstarve_DLC001/characters/"         inst.level = 0	setCanEatMeatGold(inst)	    applyupgrades(inst)     inst.components.playerlightningtarget:SetHitChance(1)    inst.components.playerlightningtarget:SetOnStrikeFn(onlightingstrike)     inst.OnPreLoad = onpreload         -- Stats        inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(100)    inst.components.hunger:SetMax(100)    inst.components.sanity:SetMax(100)    -- Sanity draims    inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = 1.3

Change your oneat function for

local function oneat(inst, food)    if food and food.prefab == "goldnugget" then        --give an upgrade!        inst.level = inst.level + 1        applyupgrades(inst)         inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/characters/wx78/levelup")    endend

and all of this

FOODGROUP = GLOBAL.FOODGROUPFOODTYPE = GLOBAL.FOODTYPE GLOBAL.FOODGROUP.OMNI_GOLDEN = {   name = "OMNI_GOLDEN",    types = {        GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.MEAT,        GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDNUGGET,    }}GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN = "OMNI_GOLDEN" AddPrefabPostInit("goldnugget", function(inst)    inst.components.edible.foodtype = GLOBAL.FOODTYPE.GOLDEN    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 10    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = -10    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = -10end)

remove it.

Thank you so much DarkXero. I'm beginning to understand a lot more with regards to the construction of codes for lua.
Just to clarify, if you input the codes in modmain instead of putting it in character prefabs. Will it have a higher chance of being incompatible with other mods. ie. breaking other mods? or is it just my coding?

Thanks again!

[DarkXero]

You had wrong and extra pointless code.

 

Lets assume you have your code working your way.

 

This is:

- in modmain

local FOODGROUP = GLOBAL.FOODGROUPlocal FOODTYPE = GLOBAL.FOODTYPEFOODTYPE.GOLDEN = "GOLDEN"FOODGROUP.MEAT_GOLDEN = {    name = "MEAT_GOLDEN",    types = {        FOODTYPE.MEAT,        FOODTYPE.GOLDEN,    }}AddPrefabPostInit("goldnugget", function(inst)    if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then return end    inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.GOLDEN    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 10    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = -10    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = -10end)

- in your prefab

-- First table is what gives you the eat prompt-- Second table is what you don't spit out when trying to eatinst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI, FOODGROUP.MEAT_GOLDEN }, { FOODGROUP.MEAT_GOLDEN })

Which is all that is needed to get the eat prompt on everything OMNI, and goldnuggets, eating only meat and goldnuggets, like how Wigfrid spits out veggies.

 

 

My gripe with this is the following: what if somebody else wants to make their own character eat gold?

 

Imagine they want to use your mod and theirs.

If they do like you, and try to eat gold by making it FOODTYPE.MEGAGOLDY, then when you change it to FOODTYPE.GOLDEN, you break their character.

The same applies vice-versa.

 

And you don't want to create a standard for all characters that want to eat gold.

 

Regardless of the incompatibility, changing the gold foodtype to GOLDEN means now you can't give it to rock lobsters to make them follow you, since rock lobsters eat ELEMENTAL types, not GOLDEN. Moleworms also eat ELEMENTAL, so you affect those too.

I never imagined you'd be explaining it so clearly. Very informative I must say. Thank you very much DarkXero I'll make sure to keep my code clean as best as I could in the possible future.

Thank you very much again.

Follow up question with the eating thingy. Is it possible to modify the damage output of the character if it eats a different element say a moonrock for example.
Will it have the same level up code? or will it break the first one since it will override the level up of the character since I have already used inst.level?

I am thinking of something like this:

Only remaining problem is that it doesn't save the damage multiplier when you get disconnected or exit the game. So I am guessing it is in the preload but I don't know how to do it. Help? @DarkXero, 

Edited October 2, 2015 by Valkyrie19k

[DarkXero]

@Valkyrie19k, you have onsave and onload.

WX saves and loads his own level.

What can you do to save another number?

[Valkyrie19k]

@DarkXero,  So this meansI can't save the ctr function I made? Shucks....

I actually tried doing this but failed 
 

    if data ~= nil and data.ctr ~= nil then

        inst.ctr = data.ctr

        applyupgrades2(inst)

        --re-set these from the save data, because of load-order clipping issues

        if data.damagemultiplier and data.damagemultiplier.damagemultiplier then inst.components.damagemultiplier:SetCurrentDamageMultiplier(data.damagemultiplier.damagemultiplier) end

        inst.components.damagemultiplier:DoDelta(0)

    end

warning, dumb code above ^

-------------------------
if saving the ctr would by any chance not work. Can there be a code where there is a set duration a power-up can last say for example.
Eating a moonrock increases damage x2 for 1 day? then goes back to normal damage output. 
-------------------------
BTW, I don't know if that was a rhetorical question or you are testing me or there isn't a code to do it.... lol

You can look at the glowberry and see how it makes you light up for a specified time, as a suggestion. There's better ways to do it I'm sure, but I'm not really a coder, I'm more of a cobbler

That is actually a nice suggestion! Thank you!

This is a lot harder than I thought.... eater component is confusing as hell...

@DarkXero, I've been needing your help a lot and I greatly appreciate it.
If it isn't too much, I'd like to ask some of insight of these.. things..

I've seen a couple of these from different sources but I feel I know too little about them.

inst onsave onload onpreload DoDelta

 

inst

Usually a variable referring to an entity. inst is the variable the prefab entity uses to pass the entity being created.

 

 

onsave(inst, data)

This function triggers on serialization of players (stuff gets saved via saving... or closing the server).

You load your own stuff on data (table passed) so you can load it later.

 

 

onload(inst, data)

This function triggers when a player respawns/rejoins a game. Only time this doesn't run is when the player spawns for first time.

You have OnNewSpawn for that. OnNewSpawn(inst) doesn't take a data argument because it doesn't need it.

 

 

onpreload(inst, data)

When loading saved data, the game does this

-- preload stuff-- load the saved data from components-- run the onload

This is why in WX, in the preload, says

--re-set these from the save data, because of load-order clipping issues

they load the max health before the current health value kicks in.

 

 

DoDelta

A typical method on most components, like hunger, health, sanity, moisture, temperature.

It does a delta variation on a variable/variables depending on the DoDelta you are looking at.
