Preventing characters from eating specific food items?

[MF99K]

I know that most foods in don't starve are categorized by diet group. I believe they are veggie, meat, omi, monster, elemental, crock pot, and I think at least one other. Thus, Wigfrid only eats meats.

I was wondering if there's any way to make a character eat everything EXCEPT specific food items. Say, eggplant, for example. How would I get this character to not eat eggplants and still be able to eat everything else?

local forbidden = {
	eggplant = true,
	eggplant_cooked = true,
	stuffedeggplant = true,
}

local function EaterChange(inst)
	if inst.components.eater then
		local _PrefersToEat = inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat
		inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat = function(self, food)
			return _PrefersToEat(self, food) and not forbidden[food.prefab]
		end
	end
end

AddPrefabPostInit("wilson", EaterChange)

It didn't work with Wilson?

Or you mean you can't eat everything?

To eat everything you need something like:

local everything = {
	FOODTYPE.GENERIC, FOODTYPE.MEAT, FOODTYPE.WOOD, FOODTYPE.VEGGIE, FOODTYPE.ELEMENTAL, FOODTYPE.GEARS,
	FOODTYPE.HORRIBLE, FOODTYPE.INSECT, FOODTYPE.SEEDS, FOODTYPE.RAW, FOODTYPE.BURNT, FOODTYPE.ROUGHAGE,
}
	
inst.components.eater:SetDiet(everything)

And then apply the EaterChange code.

I mean, regular human, "OMNI" diet, but minus eggplant etc.

Then the code I provided initially should work.

You change "wilson" for the prefab you want.

It will work like how Wigfrid gets the Eat prompt but won't actually eat the veggie.

what if I want to set it up directly in the character prefab?

inst.components.eater.PrefersToEat = function(self, food)
	return _PrefersToEat(self, food) and not forbidden[food.prefab]
end

inside master_postinit.

Still isn't working

 

another thing I was working on, a way to prevent the character from eating at full hunger

In the master_postinit:

	local old_Eat = inst.components.eater.Eat
	inst.components.eater.Eat = function(food, feeder)
		if inst.components.eater.inst.components.hunger:GetPercent() == 1 then
			return false
		else
			return old_Eat(food, feeder)
		end
	end

Are you using the code for DST or DS?

I fixed it, I accidentally missed a line of code.
