[HELP] My edible prefab crashes the game

[Eremus007]

Hello again, I am trying to make an edible prefab for an ale that doubles the amount of damage dealt by my character.

Unfortunately it crashes when my character eats it. It says something like: Can't use math problems on a nil value. (at least that was what I understood).

This is the 'problem' code:

 inst.components.edible.oneaten = function(inst, eater)
    if eater.prefab == "skyminer" then
       eater.components.hunger:DoDelta(7)
       eater.components.sanity:DoDelta(-5)
       eater.dwarvenaleresttime = 30 * 6.5
       eater.components.sanity.dapperness = eater.components.sanity.dapperness - TUNING.DAPPERNESS_MED
       eater.components.combat.damagemultiplier = eater.components.combat.damagemultiplier + TUNING.WILSON_DAMAGE_MULT
    end
   if eater.components.inventory ~= nil then
    local item = SpawnPrefab("woodenmug")
    eater.components.inventory:GiveItem(item)
    inst:Remove()
   end     
 end

 

I tried changing the mult into something else but I keep the same problem.

It's weird because the same code works fine within the Witcher Geralt mod.

If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong, that would be very helpful again

Many thanks.

First I didn't see the value of TUNING.WILSON_DAMAGE_MULT in tuning.lua.
Second have you set damagemultiplier and dapperness before Eaten execute ?

Oh, I don't know how I got on that, I set the damagemultiplier in the character prefab to 1 and then it worked.

Of course  if TUNING.WILSON_DAMAGE_MULT doesn't exist then the game can't multiply it...

Well, lesson learned:

Check the tuning file before you do something.
