how to change food stats

[bobyjoe]

I'm making my first mod and i was wondering how to make powdercake heal a character for 10 health.

can you help? 

[amethystMushroom]

For just a specific character, or for everyone?

Here's some code that I use for my character that gets bonuses from eating rotten stuff:

local function foodbonus(inst, food)
  if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "rottenegg" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(2)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(20)
  end
   if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "spoiled_food" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(2)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(20)
  end
  if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "wetgoop" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(0)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(0)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(10)
  end
end

this part is in master_postinit:

inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(foodbonus)

 

If you want to just change it for everyone, you should be able to use this:

AddPrefabPostInit("powcake", function(inst)
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 10
	inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0
end)

PS:I don't know why it quoted you before.

both of them are in the [character].lua. That line is under "local master_postinit = function(inst)". so, here is what mine looks like, with the relevant bits in bold:

 

local MakePlayerCharacter = require "prefabs/player_common"

local assets = {
    Asset("SCRIPT", "scripts/prefabs/player_common.lua"),
}
local prefabs = {}

-- Custom starting items
local start_inv = {
"carrot"
}

-- When the character is revived from human
local function onbecamehuman(inst)
    -- Set speed when reviving from ghost (optional)
    inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "wroach_speed_mod", 1)
end

local function onbecameghost(inst)
    -- Remove speed modifier when becoming a ghost
   inst.components.locomotor:RemoveExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "wroach_speed_mod")
end

-- When loading or spawning the character
local function onload(inst)
    inst:ListenForEvent("ms_respawnedfromghost", onbecamehuman)
    inst:ListenForEvent("ms_becameghost", onbecameghost)

    if inst:HasTag("playerghost") then
        onbecameghost(inst)
    else
        onbecamehuman(inst)
    end
end

-- This initializes for both the server and client. Tags can be added here.
local common_postinit = function(inst) 
    -- Minimap icon
    inst.MiniMapEntity:SetIcon( "wroach.tex" )
end

-- misc food bonuses
local function foodbonus(inst, food)
  if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "rottenegg" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(2)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(20)
  end
   if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "spoiled_food" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(2)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(20)
  end
  if inst.components.eater and food.prefab == "wetgoop" then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(0)
    inst.components.health:DoDelta(0)
    inst.components.hunger:DoDelta(10)
  end
end
