Help for a new character

[alexaldin]

I'm making a new character based on my girlfriend, to gift it for Christmas. We play a lot DST, and I thought it will be funny to see her play as her!

I need help with two things.

1: Since she is afraid of spider, I thought of making her drop a bit of sanity and do damage vs them like 1.75% stronger, but can't find the right code anywhere.

2: I want to give her an healing aura. Not too much, just a bit, and I don't know what to use. I found two codes that can do the job, since in the Workshop there's two thing that give the healing aura, but they are not character. One is an item, one a creature.
The first one is Lyrica Keyboard link to Workshop, that when you click with right button use this code (I think):

Quote

local function keyboard_aura(inst)
    local owner = inst.components.inventoryitem and inst.components.inventoryitem.owner
    owner.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/wilson/onemanband")
    
    if owner then
        local x,y,z = owner.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
        local range = 15
        local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x,y,z, range)
        local rate = .01 * owner.components.health.maxhealth
        owner.components.health:DoDelta(rate)
        for i,v in ipairs(ents) do
            if not TheNet:GetPVPEnabled() and v:HasTag("player") and v ~= owner then
                rate = .01 * v.components.health.maxhealth
                v.components.health:DoDelta(rate)
            end
        end
        for v in pairs(owner.components.leader.followers) do
            rate = .01 * v.components.health.maxhealth
            v.components.health:DoDelta(rate)
        end
    end
end

OR

This one is from a creature from the character mod Celnar, the Supportoise, that sometimes emits healing aura. Think the code is this:

Quote

local function HealAura(inst)
    -- Cancel the task if we already have one running
    if inst.HealAura then
        inst.HealAura:Cancel()
        inst.HealAura = nil
    end
    local p = inst:GetPosition()
    for _,v in ipairs(TheSim:FindEntities(p.x, p.y, p.z, 12, nil, nil, {"player", "toad"})) do
        if v and v.components and v.components.health then
            v.components.health:DoDelta(5)
        end
    end
    -- Launch a tracer so we know what's up
    SpawnPrefab("sparks").Transform:SetPosition(inst:GetPosition():Get())
    -- Schedule it to happen again
    inst.HealAura = inst:DoTaskInTime(math.random(25,30), HealAura)
end

How can I adjust them for my character?

WIll the healing aura always be active? Does it heal someone every 1 second?

I think it's better always active, like 0.05 point every 1 second, so it's not too unbalanced.

[. . .]

will the range of the healing be close, medium or far?

[alexaldin]

Medium

[. . .]

I tested this code it should work, if it causes a crash or doesn't work tell me . You would put them both in mycharacter.lua under master_postinit.

If you want the healing aura to be only for a specific character like for example if you have your own unique character I can do that too.

With this code your character will deal 10 bonus damage to all spiders when you attack them & your character will give any player in a med dist a .5 health every 1 second.

-- Deal bonus damage to spiders.
inst:ListenForEvent("onattackother", function(inst, data)
if data.target:HasTag("spider") then -- if the target is a spider (does not count webber)
data.target.components.health:DoDelta(-10) -- deal 10 bonus damage with any attack (even fists)
inst.components.talker:Say("AHHHH, STAY AWAY!") -- Say something special, if you want
end
end)

-- Every 1 second any player within a medium distance will restore 0.5 health.
inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, function()
if inst:HasTag("playerghost") or inst.components.health:IsDead() then -- Do not heal others if you are dead.
return
end

local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
local players = FindPlayersInRange(x, y, z, (8), true) -- You can change "8" to any number it's the dist this code activates
for _, v in pairs(players) do
if (v~=inst) then
v.components.health:DoDelta(.5) -- amount of healing
--v.components.sanity:DoDelta(.15) --if you want a tiny sanity heal too :)
end
end

end)

Awesome! Thank you very much, I let you know if it work

[alexaldin]

Here I am again. The mod was a success, it worked really well ^^

But, she has no negative side. How can I make her lose sanity when near spider? Can't find a similar script anywhere...

[. . .]

you'd put this in your character's modmain, this make it that she loses moar sanity from anything that's a spider

if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then	
	AddComponentPostInit("sanityaura", function(self)
		local old = self.GetAura 
		function self:GetAura(observer) 
			if observer.prefab == "nicole" and self.inst:HasTag("spider") then 
				return -999999999999999 -- Change number for desired effect
			end
			return old(self,observer) 
		end
	end)	
end

 

[alexaldin]

Thank you mate! You are really awesome.

How will this work? If she sees a spider she will lose how much sanity in how much time? So I know what number to put there.

I really have no idea, hahaha.... If I was you I'd start messing with numbers like -1, -2 ect

Nice ahahah Okay, thank you ^^ 

If you want to see the mod click here. I uploaded it into the workshop, with great success!

local function onkilledbyother(inst, attacker)
    if attacker and attacker.components.sanity then
        attacker.components.sanity:DoDelta(inst.sanityreward or TUNING.SANITY_SMALL)
    end
end

Is this the code when killed to give a little sanity? How can I edit it to when she kill a spider give her like 1-2 of sanity?

 

EDIT:

Found this from wathgrithr.lua

Quote

local function onkilled(inst, data)
    local victim = data.victim
    if IsValidVictim(victim) then
        -- local delta = victim.components.combat.defaultdamage * 0.25
        -- inst.components.health:DoDelta(delta, false, "battleborn")
        -- inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(delta)

        if not victim.components.health.nofadeout and (victim:HasTag("epic") or math.random() < .1) then
            local time = victim.components.health.destroytime or 2
            local x, y, z = victim.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
            local scale = (victim:HasTag("smallcreature") and smallScale)
                        or (victim:HasTag("largecreature") and largeScale)
                        or medScale
            inst:DoTaskInTime(time, spawnspirit, x, y, z, scale)
        end
    end
end

To make it only for spider and sanity:

Quote

local function onkilled(inst, data)
    if data.target:HasTag("spider") then
        inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(+1)
    end
end

Right?

Um, to be honest I don't know how to use the onkill or whatever function xD...

For what you want to achieve the best I can say is to replace

-- Deal bonus damage to spiders.
inst:ListenForEvent("onattackother", function(inst, data)
if data.target:HasTag("spider") then -- if the target is a spider (does not count webber)
data.target.components.health:DoDelta(-10) -- deal 10 bonus damage with any attack (even fists)
inst.components.talker:Say("AHHHH, STAY AWAY!") -- Say something special, if you want
end
end)

with this

-- Deal bonus damage to spiders.
inst:ListenForEvent("onattackother", function(inst, data)
if data.target:HasTag("spider") then
data.target.components.health:DoDelta(-10)
inst.components.talker:Say("AHHHH, STAY AWAY!")

inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(.1) -- For real this is all you need, just put it into the bonus damage she deals to spider thing

end
end)

she would heal a tenth of a point of sanity whenever she hits a spider, I think that's pretty okay for what you want too.

EDIT: Also Wigfrids code I think works that if she doesn't get the kill & someone else kills it even though she hit it the most she still no boost, so the way I recommend might be even better.

I'm adjusting the number, but it's working perfectly  I'm using a 1 instead of the .1, cause the 

Quote

if GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then    
    AddComponentPostInit("sanityaura", function(self)
        local old = self.GetAura 
        function self:GetAura(observer) 
            if observer.prefab == "nicole" and self.inst:HasTag("spider") then 
                return -3 -- Change number for desired effect
            end
            return old(self,observer) 
        end
    end)    
end

draw like a crazy the sanity when they are really close! I think this code modify the normal sanity aura drop, like multiple times. Cause if you stay at medium range the sanity drop is normal, then when you get close to attack the sanity goes like "One, two, three, four" at the same speed as you can read it!
