Sanity as variable

[Cuddlepuff]

Today, I've tried to use Sanity as variable for my character in Don't Starve Together - making them stronger the lower their sanity gets but I can't really find a way to accomplish this. I've tried so many things and I can't seem to find the right way to do it.

 

Here's the master_postinit section:

local master_postinit = function(inst)
	-- choose which sounds this character will play
	inst.soundsname = "willow"
	
	-- Stats	
	inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(150)
	inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150)
	inst.components.sanity:SetMax(10)
	
	local sanity_percent = inst.components.sanity.current -- Variation Test
	
	-- Damage variations
	local sanity_damage_var = sanity_percent / 10
	local sanity_damage_mult = 1.5 - sanity_damage_var
	
	-- Speed variations
	local sanity_speed_var = sanity_percent / 20
	local sanity_speed_mult = 1.25 - sanity_speed_var
	
	inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = sanity_damage_mult -- Damage Multiplier
	inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "cuddlepuff_speed_mult", sanity_speed_mult) -- Speed Multiplier
	
	-- Hunger rate (optional)
	inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = 1 * TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE
	
	inst.OnLoad = onload
    inst.OnNewSpawn = onload
end

 

All I need is someone to enlighten me. Am I doing it wrong? And where is my mistake? Is it impossible to do that?

I already replied on your other post with the same exact title and question.. please don't spam

Above YOURCHARACTER's master_postinit you would put

local function sanitydelta(inst)
   if inst.components.sanity.current >= 100 then
      inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 100
   elseif inst.components.sanity.current >= 50 then
      inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
   elseif inst.components.sanity.current <= 50 then
      inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 0
   end
end

Inside YOURCHARACTER's master_postinit you would put

inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", sanitydelta)

Another variant.

above.

local function sanitydelta(inst)
    if inst.components.sanity and inst.components.combat then
        local sanity = inst.components.sanity:GetPercent()
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.75 - 1 * sanity    
    end
end

Inside your master_postinit.

inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", sanitydelta)

Note:This code calculates your current sanity.
1.75 is current Warren max damage and the -1 is the damage removal because of sanity.

Even though answers were given above, you could check out how its done for wolfgang but instead of hunger use sanity and make him stranger instead of weaker when it's low.
