Fire Snatcher [Mod Request]

[animefireball]

Could anyone make a mod that change the amount of fire Carlie takes so that ALL the fire is taken from a source regardless of the amount of fuel currently used? I feel Charlie is literally no threat during this time as so little fire is taken.

I'd greatly appreciate it :3

Do you mean like, the dark hands when you have low sanity, or is this a DST specific thing I'm missing here?

[animefireball]

Yeah the shadow hand that shows up on an interval number of nights and randomly within caves (or at least i think it is), that takes only some of your fire. I would really like a mod where the hand takes ALL the fire from a source regardless of the amount of fuel.

This may be DST specific, but i dont know i've yet to play DS but i know some mechanics are different between the two versions.

I took a quick look at the code... but it seems very very complicated...
it is done via PushAction in the locomoter component with the action Extinguish. This seems to extinguish 0.2 by default from any fire and you can't change this value.
Maybe you could replace it by the action Manualextinguish, were the value can bet set... but I don't know how this would work with this Pushaction stuff...
So I won't put more time into this, ..it is too complicated.

Does this means its not possible through modding or just not worth the effort? I would be nice if the shadow hands were an actual threat worth chasing off, as it is now my friend and just keep fuel in hand whenever the hands show up.

Make a modmain.lua and add this:

AddPrefabPostInit("shadowhand", function(inst) 
	inst:ListenForEvent("onreachdestination", function(inst, data)
		if data.pos == inst.fire:GetPosition() then
			inst:DoTaskInTime(.55, function() 
				inst.fire.components.burnable:Extinguish() 
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

Should work.

Its kind of a hacky way. It listens for when the hand reaches its destination, being the fire, makes sure its the fire by comparing positions, then extinguishes the fire after .55 seconds, which is how long the hand grabbing animation should be.

Thank you Aquaterion for the code, though i have no idea how to actually turn this into a mod (allergic to programming). even after looking at the mod help threads ;__;

this should work

if it crashes, replace the code in modmain.lua with this, as i'm unsure if the extra code is needed since its server-sided

AddPrefabPostInit("shadowhand", function(inst) 
	if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
		return inst
	end
	inst:ListenForEvent("onreachdestination", function(inst, data)
		if data.pos == inst.fire:GetPosition() then
			inst:DoTaskInTime(.55, function() 
				inst.fire.components.burnable:Extinguish() 
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

Yeah that i can do, very much appreciated!
