[HELP] Coding Custom Character Abilities!

[toxictester]

 

Hello! I'm Toxictester, a not-that new modder (i made my first mod at the beginning of this year i think ).

I was wondering if I could get some help on coding some of the Plague Doctor's abilities?

 

ABILITIES (also listed in above picture):

• x1.5 sanity drain
• More health gain from healing items
• More sanity gain from crockpot foods
• Sanity gain from killing monsters
• Death at 0 sanity
• Uses poison damage (inflicts damage over a period of time)
• Telltale hearts cost less health

 

I'm sure I can find code for the x1.5 sanity drain, poison damage, and extra sanity from killing monsters. So can anyone lend me a hand towards her other abilities (extra sanity gain from crockpot, more health from healing items, death at 0 sanity, telltale hearts costing less)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated   !

When you say "more health gain from healing items" do you mean "heal" items like spider gland or foods that give health like fish sticks?

as for some others:

 

"More sanity gain from crockpot foods":

--in ur character.lua
local function oneat(eater, food)
	local fooditem = food.prefab
	local crockpotfoods = require("preparedfoods")
	
	if table.containskey(crockpotfoods, fooditem) and eater.components.sanity then --if its a crockpot food
		eater.components.sanity:DoDelta(20)--change 20 to whatever you want
	end
	
end

-- in ur characters master_postinit function
inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(oneat)

 

"Death at 0 sanity":

--in ur character.lua

-- in ur characters master_postinit function
inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", function(inst, data) 
	if data.newpercent == 0 then 
		inst.components.health:Kill() 
	end
end)

Ah, thank you for a speedy reply! 

By the health gain from healing items, i DO mean spider glands, healing salve, ect. 

[Aquaterion]

--in modmain.lua
AddComponentPostInit("healer", function(self)
	local oldheal = self.Heal
	function self:Heal(target)
		if target.components.health then
			target:PushEvent("consumehealer", {healer = self.inst.prefab, healing = self.health})
			oldheal(self, target)
		end
	end
end)

--in ur character.lua

-- in ur characters master_postinit function
inst:ListenForEvent("consumehealer", function(inst, data) 
	inst.components.health:DoDelta(data.healing*0.25)-- +25% extra from normal amount
end)

haven't tried it but should work

I got this error message from the healing strings

[Aquaterion]

did you add the first part to modmain.lua?

if so, try changing

target:PushEvent("consumehealer", self.inst.prefab, self.health)
--to
target:PushEvent("consumehealer", self.inst.prefab, self.inst.components.healer.health)

Yeah, it still doesn't seem to be working :/

Wouldn't the issue be in the character.lua? Or at least that's what the game's warning message is pointing at

inst:ListenForEvent("consumehealer", function(inst, healer, amount) 
	inst.components.health:DoDelta(amount*0.25)-- +25% extra from normal amount
end)

 

Here's my script btw:

[Aquaterion]

ok so this should work

target:PushEvent("consumehealer", self.inst.prefab, self.health)
--to
target:PushEvent("consumehealer", {healer = self.inst.prefab, healing = self.health})

and

inst:ListenForEvent("consumehealer", function(inst, healer, amount) 
	inst.components.health:DoDelta(amount*0.25)-- +25% extra from normal amount
end)

--to

inst:ListenForEvent("consumehealer", function(inst, data) 
	inst.components.health:DoDelta(data.healing*0.25)-- +25% extra from normal amount
end)

Yes, that works, thank you!

btw if whenever you use a healer item, your character says "I can't do that" or something similar

--change
oldheal(self, target)
--to
return oldheal(self, target)
