How to activate effect when in radius of trees?

[RadiantRoma]

For a new character I'm developing, I wanted the character to benefit from having many trees around in the area. If anyone knows some way for a way to add some sort of invisible aura that would affect the character, maybe increasing speed or damage when in a certain radius of a tree, help would be highly appreciated.

In the master_postinit.

        inst:DoPeriodicTask(
            0.1,
            function(inst)
                local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
                local ents = GLOBAL.TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 4.0, {"tree"}, {"FX", "NOCLICK", "DECOR", "INLIMBO", "stump", "burnt"})
                if #ents > 0
                then
                    if inst.mymodname_treebonus == nil
                    then
                        inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "mymodname_treebonus", 5.0*GLOBAL.TUNING.CANE_SPEED_MULT)
                        inst.mymodname_treebonus = true
                    end
                else
                    if inst.mymodname_treebonus ~= nil
                    then
                        inst.components.locomotor:RemoveExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "mymodname_treebonus")
                        inst.mymodname_treebonus = nil
                    end
                end
            end
        )

I set it to make your movement 5*cane speed to easily see when it procs.

4.0 is the radius around trees in which the effect takes hold.

4.0 = 1 turf, for reference in dimensions.

Thank you so much for helping!

I put that in the prefabs file and replaced all of the "mymodname" with the character's name (Wollawossiky), but got this error message when attempting to enter the game.

Yeah for custom prefabs and such remove the "GLOBAL." portions (The dot included).

Only needed in modmain, where I throw things together.

It works like a charm! If I wanted to also add a damage bonus would I add a line underneath so it would be this?

	inst:DoPeriodicTask(
            0.1,
            function(inst)
                local x, y, z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
                local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 3.5, {"tree"}, {"FX", "NOCLICK", "DECOR", "INLIMBO", "stump", "burnt"})
                if #ents > 0
                then
                    if inst.wollawossiky_treebonus == nil
                    then
                        inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "wollawossiky_treebonus", 1.0*TUNING.CANE_SPEED_MULT)
                        inst.components.combat:SetExternalDamageMultiplier(inst, "wollawossiky_treebonus", 2.0*TUNING.WILSON_DAMAGE_MULT)
						inst.wollawossiky_treebonus = true
                    end
                else

Since you're making a new character, use:

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2.0*TUNING.WILSON_DAMAGE_MULT

and

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.0

Got this error code when I got in the radius of a tree in game

I just took what you had.

There is no damage mult for wilson, default is just 1.0.

So it's:

inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2.0
