How to do ability to increase speed of boats for equippable item?

[Starofdeath]

like spear or bat?

inst.components.equippable.boatspeedmult = 1.5 -- not work

 

may be through 

GLOBAL.TUNING.CLOTH_SAIL_SPEED_MULT

but how?

[Mobbstar]

You want to increase a boat speed while holding the item?

 

I don't have the DLC, but my guess is you need to add onto the equip and unequip functions of the item, so it checks whether the player is on a boat at the time of equipping, as well as event listeners that change the boat speed if the player gets on after equipping.

Mobbstar, I will explain a little. As i understand (via several experiments) inst.components.equippable.boatspeedmult connected with slot of boats and works only for boats (and not for person).

I have an idea. Sea Umbrella - umbrella, which works like additional sail, when character holds it in his arm.

For this reason, will be better that umbrella  gives bonus for sails. But (we're back to where we started) i don't know how to do this.

According to Mobbstar's post, you need to think about how you can check the fact that your umbrella equiped or not. This post may help you. Then, if the character with umbrella is onboat, change boat sail speed. The DLC came to steam recently, so I cant give you some posts with the solution yet. But I think there are some events or player statuses for boats.

Thanks for answer. But how to use this function in modmain.lua :

GetEquippedItem(GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS

If somebody knows, please write example.
