I need help with sanity based light.

[MrDoge124]

Hello I would like some help.

I would like my character to have a light that goes down with his sanity.

I have got the light working but I don't know how to make it go down with his sanity.

You'll want to take a look at rabbit.lua to see how the rabbits respond to your sanity to turn into beardlings. Specifically the WatchSanity function that gets called by OnPickup. You'll probably want to call WatchSanity in an OnEquip function and StopWatchingSanity in OnUnequip.

[. . .]

I think you would put something like this in YOURCHARACTER.lua inside the master_postinit ~

inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", function(inst, data)
   if inst.components.sanity.current >= 150 then
      -- Set max light level
   elseif inst.components.sanity.current >= 100 then
      -- Lower light level
   elseif inst.components.sanity.current >= 50 then
      -- Lower light level
   elseif inst.components.sanity.current <= 50 then
      -- Set min light level
   end
end)

It didn't work. I changed stuff around and it still didn't work.

Post your prefab file/mod?

Sure I can do that.

This ought to work, you can alternatively call an outside function which is basically the same method.

 

local function sanitylight(inst)
	if inst.components.sanity.current >= 150 then
		inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.5)
		inst.Light:SetRadius(0.9)
		inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.5)
	elseif inst.components.sanity.current >= 100 then
      -- Lower light level
		inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.5)
		inst.Light:SetRadius(0.9)
		inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.5)
	elseif inst.components.sanity.current >= 50 then
      -- Lower light level
		inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.5)
		inst.Light:SetRadius(0.9)
		inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.5)
	elseif inst.components.sanity.current <= 50 then
      -- Set min light level
		inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.5)
		inst.Light:SetRadius(0.9)
		inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.5)
	end
end
                                              
--Put this part in Master Post Init
inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", sanitylight)

Then just change the light settings to whatever you want for each stage like SuperDavid mentioned.

So far the game boots up fine, but how should I test it?

[Lumina]

http://dontstarve.wikia.com/wiki/Console/Don't_Starve_Together_Commands

open the console

type :

c_give("green_cap", 20)

repeat for

c_give("green_cap_cooked", 20)

 

Eat the green_cap to loose sanity, eat the green_cap_cooked to recover sanity, see if it's work fine, adjust the values if not.

[MrDoge124]

A question about the values are they the percent of sanity or the amount of sanity on the sanity meter?

Those would be the amount of sanity on the meter.

[HabdomeRaider]

You can use inst.components.sanity:GetPercent() if you'd prefer to have it based on percentage.

[MrDoge124]

It works!

[MrDoge124]

Is there a way to make the light turn off?

I tried, inst.Light:Enable (false).
