Giving an item infinite durability

[GreatSound]

I want to give the cat cap infinite durability but i don't know how i'm new to coding and all the other stuff

[DarkXero]

Cat caps have the fueled component.

It's a code add-on that has a number that when it reaches 0, it consumes the cap.

What you do is remove it.

local function catcoonhatPostInit(inst)
	if inst.components.fueled then
		inst:RemoveComponent("fueled")
	end
end

AddPrefabPostInit("catcoonhat", catcoonhatPostInit)

So when the prefab catcoonhat is spawned, you run the function catcoonhatPostInit on it.

If the entity (inst) has the fueled component, you remove it.

Infinite durability.

it this for all characters? i just want to do it for the custom character that i made i don't want everyone on my server walking around with a infinite cat cap

In that case:

local function catcoonhatPostInit(inst)
	if inst.components.fueled then
		local _DoDelta = inst.components.fueled.DoDelta
		inst.components.fueled.DoDelta = function(self, amount)
			local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem.owner
			if owner and owner.prefab == "wilson" then
				return	
			end
			_DoDelta(self, amount)
		end
	end
end

AddPrefabPostInit("catcoonhat", catcoonhatPostInit)

Instead of editing the entire component, you edit a function of it.

You save the old function in _DoDelta.

You make a new DoDelta.

If the item owner is Wilson, when the fuel is going to change, then it doesn't change.

This way only one character gets the cat cap to last.

Replace "wilson" with your character prefab name.

This goes in modmain.lua.

The code in modmain has access to functions like AddPrefabPostInit and AddComponentPostInit, which you wouldn't normally access from places like your character prefab file.

Thanks for your help but i just need help with two more things. I want to make it where i start with the cat cap and only able to eat meat like wigfrid

for got to put something in

[DarkXero]

local start_inv =
{
    "spear_wathgrithr",
    "wathgrithrhat",
    "meat",
    "meat",
    "meat",
    "meat",
}

This is what Wigfrid has to start with a spear, a helmet, and four meat.

The cat cap prefab is "catcoonhat".

inst.components.eater:SetDiet({ FOODGROUP.OMNI }, { FOODTYPE.MEAT })

This is what Wigfrid has on her master_postinit function to change her diet.

so i just put the catcoonhat in the local star_inv with Wigfrid's starting items?

Wigfrid has a start_inv table where she has the items she starts with.

Your character prefab file should have a start_inv table where you can put the items you start with.

Wigfrid has those 6 items.

You want one, "catcoonhat".

local start_inv = {
	"catcoonhat",
}

When your game crashes, you can find info in MyDocuments/Klei/DoNotStarveTogether/client_log.txt

In can also give us information about what might be wrong.

You can also post your character's prefab file to check for errors.

Inside the master_postinit function of your character prefab file.

I know it's been 6 years since this post but... is all of this still working on current versions? And if so, what would it be like to want to apply the same thing but in armors?

Most likely still works. If you want to do the same for an amour then replace the "catcoonhat" with the prefab your changing and the catcoonhatpostint with something like logamourPostint or whatever you wanna change
