[Solved] Why "ForceNightVision" isn't working on world with caves?

[. . .]

Hello, I need help with a problem I have .

So, I want to use this code to give my character night vision (like vision you get when wearing molehat)

act.target.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true)

and it works fine on world with no caves, but on world with caves it just makes you immune to grue & nothing else happens...

Anyone know what I can do to fix this or give character mole vision properly? I appreciate any help thank you very much for reading my problem have a great day/night !

Because it has to run on the client as well as the server.

Game achieves this by making both server and client listen to the changes in the player's equipslots.

 

local function ApplyNightvision(inst)
	if inst.components.playervision then
		-- get net variable value and use it
		local val = inst.givemethenightvision:value()
		inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(val)
	end
end

local function RegisterNightvisionListener(inst)
	-- reaction when value changes
	inst:ListenForEvent("givemethenightvisiondirty", ApplyNightvision)
end

local function common_postinit(inst)
	-- net variable
	inst.givemethenightvision = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.givemethenightvision", "givemethenightvisiondirty")
	-- default value
	inst.givemethenightvision:set(false)
	-- setup after deserialization
	inst:DoTaskInTime(0, RegisterNightvisionListener)
end

for your character.

Now you do on your action

if act.target.givemethenightvision then
	act.target.givemethenightvision:set(true)
end

And the variable change will propagate to clients, which were listening to the change, as well as the server, because we put our code in common_postinit.
