Item Help: Making an Item break into its base component

[RetiredSasquat]

My goals for this item are sot:

1. I want to make an item as a basic component plus crafting materials for a weapon.

2. I want to make it so that when the weapon breaks, it reverts to the basic component, minus crafting materials.

Can anyone help me with how to code such a pair?

What will break the prefab ? Because, i'm not sure but i think that if you hammer a building, it will return part of the ingredient, based on a recipe, using the line :

    inst.components.lootdropper:DropLoot()

When it's a existing structure without recipe, like mermhouse, you will have somewhere a

    inst:AddComponent("lootdropper")
    inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(loot)

and a

local loot =
{
    "boards",
    "rocks",
    "fish",
}

 

(But for example, i made a mod adding a recipe for mermhouse and i'm pretty sure that hammering the house gave me the classic loot and half the ingredient of the recipe (it's why i think that "inst.components.lootdropper:DropLoot()" calls something that will determine that half the ingredients are returned when you destroy something with a recipe, because if you look at structure with ingredients, you don't usually have a "inst.components.lootdropper:SetLoot(loot)" line.

 

So, i think that if you don't want to return half the ingredients of the crafting recipe, but only one, you could do like the pumpkin lantern : when you destroy it, you obtain only the fireflies, but you are guaranteed to obtain it.

 

Meaning that you should have a line like this in your breaking prefab function :

        inst.components.lootdropper:SpawnLootPrefab("fireflies")

I hope it's clear, i'm sorry if not.

Ah sorry, I might have written unclearly, basically I wanted to make an item as a component for a weapon, and when the weapon breaks, it returns the component to your inventory.

Ok, so i guess you could try something like this.

Add the prefab you want to be able to drop :

local prefabs =
{
    "fireflies",
}

Add a function :

local function OnFinished(inst)
inst.components.lootdropper:SpawnLootPrefab("fireflies")
inst:Remove()
end

 

And having this line

inst.components.finiteuses:SetOnFinished(OnFinished)

Like this :

    inst:AddComponent("finiteuses")
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetMaxUses(TUNING.SPEAR_USES)
    inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(TUNING.SPEAR_USES)
	inst.components.finiteuses:SetOnFinished(OnFinished)

 

 

Usually, a weapon already have a "inst.components.finiteuses:SetOnFinished(inst.Remove)", so replace this line.

Of course, don't forget to replace fireflies with your prefab name.

Also, add a line :

    inst:AddComponent("lootdropper")

Before the inspectable component, usually.

It should work, let me know.

It works! Thank you very much for your help!
