Character Tag Coding

change

 data.eslots

to

 data.eslot

in both equip and unequip

All right this had gotten it to work but in ticks which I do not want. I'm attempting to get a constant drain but currently I'm not sure how to integrate it in. I was able to get in a piece that started drain on pickup but continued after unequip.
I'm simply unsure how to continue the drain instead of having it tick.
Any ideas on that?

_{For future reference where might I find code that says where periodic tasks and such are a thing, or is that simply lua coding?}

How the code currently looks, some is kept in comments to be swapped around for testing purposes as I try to get things to work:

--inst.components.sanity.dapperness = (TUNING.DAPPERNESS_LARGE * -5)
--inst.sanitydrain = inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, function() inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(-5)

local function onequip(inst, data)
    if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS and data.item:HasTag("CHOP_tool") and inst.sanitydrain == nil then
        inst.sanitydrain = inst:PushEvent(function() inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(TUNING.DAPPERNESS_LARGE * -5) end)
    end
    --im not sure if this would override the old equip function, but if it does then just add the only thing that it adds:
    --TheFocalPoint.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/equip_item")
end
local function onunequip(inst, data)
    if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS and inst.sanitydrain ~= nil then
        inst.sanitydrain:Cancel()
        inst.sanitydrain = nil
    end
end

        inst:ListenForEvent( "equip", onequip )
        inst:ListenForEvent( "unequip", onunequip )

local function onequip(inst, data) 
	if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS and data.item:HasTag("CHOP_tool") then 
		inst.components.equippable.dapperness =  inst.components.equippable.dapperness - TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY
	end
end 

local function onunequip(inst, data) 
	if data.eslot == EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS and data.item:HasTag("CHOP_tool") then 
		inst.components.equippable.dapperness =  inst.components.equippable.dapperness + TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY 
	end 
end

You should be able to do it like so, using the line panazej suggested, this should work while also preserving the tool's current dapperness stat just in case.

Unless this is to be posted in the modmain this code does nothing at all.

Currently have been trying to get the other code that panazej had left for the modmain but currently it's not working correctly either.

I might come back to this later and leave it as a ticking counter for the time being.

Every inst in

inst.components.equippable.dapperness

should be

data.item.components.equippable.dapperness

I believe, since inst is actually the player.

by the by, i know off topic, but either of you, or anyone else, have any idea why some files might not compile? I've run the autocompiler, the game, everything, and some files just simply refuse making me resort to getting someone else to do it in hopes it compiles. I'm just very confused and frustrated cuz this is an issue i get a lot.

things dont compile when they have errors, such as missing images or bad references

They have everything. They've all compiled before...so yeah.

[Aquaterion]

btw did the last code change work?

See above problem for why I cannot test the code. The ghost build is refusing to recompile thus I cannot boot a server.

EDIT: I literally cannot find a single issue in the code causing it to stop...and my friend couldn't get it to compile.

I finally got to see something  in the export process...a broken png file??? on the scml build? How do you even fix that?

EDIT: Take note I even recompiled the base body I'm currently using to get this all to work to make sure everything it working and it just will not compile.
I'm currently using Wickerbottom's build as a mannequin for the code.

EDIT2: I'm going to bed...
