Help with Gaining Extra Sanity from Food

[Scoobie101]

Hello! I'm making my first mod character and everything is going good. I have textures, sounds, perks, everything is working nicely. However, just to finish up my character I wanted to give her some bonus perks that aren't as obvious just to make her feel more unique. I want her to have extra sanity gain from eating sweet foods like honey, taffy, pumpkin cookies, etc. I've been through quite a few topics on the forums and nothing seems to be working for me. There seems to be a lot of ways of doing this and it's kinda confusing and overwhelming...

Ah! I know how to do this! My character actually has this perk when eating fruits such as berries, etc. 

	local OldEat = inst.components.eater.Eat
		inst.components.eater.Eat = function(self, food)
		if food and food.components.edible and food.prefab == "berries" then
				food.components.edible.sanityvalue = 2
		end	
		return OldEat(self, food)
	end

and then you replace "berries" with your food item and sanityvalue to what you want  
keep in mind that (I think) it adds up!

You add this in your character's prefab file, in local master_postinit = function(inst)

Finally! Wow, posted and answered in the same day! I didn't want to make my own post because I thought it would take like, a week for a helpful answer! It works like a charm, thanks for the help :3 Also, It doesn't add up, I changed the number to 20 for taffy (which gives 15 sanity) and I got 20 instead of 35. Which is fine in my case :3

you could do

food.components.edible.sanityvalue = food.components.edible.sanityvalue + 2

so that way you keep the food's current sanity value and add the 2 as well, in case you wanted to know.
