[SOLVED] Question.

[. . .]

Hello, I have a question ! So, when my character enters a certain mode would it be possible to make him exhale frosty breath even when it's not Winter and then be able to cancel it too?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much & have a wonderful day/night !!

@SuperDavid Yes. It's controlled by the frostybreather component. Probably the easiest way to do it would be to have your character's master_postinit override FrostyBreather:OnTemperatureChanged:

local _OnTemperatureChanged = inst.components.frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged
inst.components.frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged = function(self, ...)
	if <however you are keeping track of which state he is in> then
		self:StartBreath()
    else
    	_OnTemperatureChanged(self, ...)
    end
end

And you might also want to throw in an inst.components.frostybreather:StartBreath()/StopBreath() when transforming in case the world temperature is very stable and OnTemperatureChanged doesn't get called.

Edit: Oops, frostybreather exists on clients rather than just the server, so you also need some networking like DarkXero did below.

I did it like this.

modmain.lua

local require = GLOBAL.require
local TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING

local frostybreather = require("components/frostybreather")

local _OnTemperatureChanged = frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged
frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged = function(self, temperature)
	if self.insanebreath and self.insanebreath:value() then
		temperature = TUNING.FROSTY_BREATH - 1
	end
	_OnTemperatureChanged(self, temperature)
end

character.lua

local function InsaneFrostyBreather(inst)
	inst.components.frostybreather.insanebreath:set(not inst.replica.sanity:IsSane())
	inst.components.frostybreather:OnTemperatureChanged(TheWorld.state.temperature)
end

local function common_postinit(inst)
	inst.components.frostybreather.insanebreath = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.insanebreath")
	inst.components.frostybreather.insanebreath:set(false)
	inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", InsaneFrostyBreather)
end

 

[. . .]

@DarkXero Sorry but would it be okay you tell me how the frosty breath to activate when he enters "inst.gelid_mode == true"

because that's when he's suppose to do frosty breath not when he's insane, sorry I should've said that when I first posted .

I tried changing your code but the server doesn't even load anymore, maybe you can help me if you want, sorry ...

local function GelidBreath(inst)
inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(inst.gelid_mode == true())
inst.components.frostybreather:OnTemperatureChanged(TheWorld.state.temperature)
end

local function common_postinit(inst) 
inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.gelidbreath")
inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(false)
inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", GelidBreath)
end

local require = GLOBAL.require
local TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING

local frostybreather = require("components/frostybreather")

local _OnTemperatureChanged = frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged
frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged = function(self, temperature)
	if self.gelidbreath and self.gelidbreath:value() then
		temperature = TUNING.FROSTY_BREATH - 1
	end
	_OnTemperatureChanged(self, temperature)
end

true is not a function, so the parentheses after it will cause a crash. Also you can just use inst.gelid_mode, assuming that it's true or false already. You only need to use == when you want to convert something that's not boolean (true/false) into something that is.

I can use  inst.gelid_mode  even though it always switches between nil & true?

[rezecib]

@SuperDavid I think so. Lua interprets nil to be false when you use it as a boolean.

[. . .]

@rezecib I put 

inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(inst.gelid_mode)

instead of 

inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(inst.gelid_mode == true())

And I get this crash now

[00:00:17]: [string "../mods/Adam DST Mod/scripts/prefabs/adam.l..."]:992: calling 'set' on bad self (boolean expected, got nil)

I don't understand

[rezecib]

@SuperDavid It's saying that inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath is nil, which means that code is running before you create it somehow. It's not obvious to me how that's happening from the code you've shown, but maybe you can figure it out from that.

[DarkXero]

modmain.lua:

local require = GLOBAL.require
local TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING

local frostybreather = require("components/frostybreather")

local _OnTemperatureChanged = frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged
frostybreather.OnTemperatureChanged = function(self, temperature)
	if self.gelidbreath and self.gelidbreath:value() then
		temperature = TUNING.FROSTY_BREATH - 1
	end
	_OnTemperatureChanged(self, temperature)
end

character.lua:

local function GelidFrostyBreather(inst)
	inst.components.frostybreather:OnTemperatureChanged(TheWorld.state.temperature)
end

local function common_postinit(inst)
	inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.gelidbreath", "gelidbreathdirty")
	inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(false)
	inst:ListenForEvent("gelidbreathdirty", GelidFrostyBreather)
end

local function master_postinit(inst)
	inst:WatchWorldState("temperature", function(inst)
		inst.components.frostybreather.gelidbreath:set(inst.gelid_mode or false)
	end)
end

@DarkXero Thank you, thank you, thank you so, so, so, so, so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
