[Solved] How to set something to increase ovetime?

[Anstarveo]

local function RegenFn(inst)
if inst:HasTag("playerghost") then return end
if inst.transformed then

inst:AddTag("canmove")
inst:RemoveTag("nomove")
inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_WALK_SPEED)
inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED)
inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 0.75)
inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
inst.components.sanity.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY *0.01

else

inst:AddTag("nomove")
inst:RemoveTag("canmove")
inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_WALK_SPEED * 0.00)
inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = (TUNING.WILSON_RUN_SPEED * 0.00)
inst.components.temperature.inherentinsulation = 120
inst.components.temperature.inherentsummerinsulation = 60
inst.components.hunger:SetRate(TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 0.25)

inst:DoPeriodicTask(15, ????????????

inst.components.sanity.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_HUGE * Z
end

 

I want to have number Z increases by 1 ever 15 seconds but so far can't figure it out.

I just want to set a number P = 0 and make it increase by 1 every 15s.

Wait...how can I delete the above post?

if you found a solution already, do not delte your post, just post the solution, so others can learn from it

And yes, it should be "DoPeriodicTask"
If you don't know how to use the function, simply do a search for it in all the game files. There you will have tons of examples
And you will also see where it is defined, in entityscript.lua:
EntityScript:DoPeriodicTask(time, fn, initialdelay, ...)

Here you can see how to use notepad++ to serach all lua scripts at once:

I couldn't find my answer in the game files, because the answer is too simple. I found it out the hard way   >_<

Here is my solution, inside (your mod name).lua put this:

       inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, sanRe, 15)

inside:

       local master_postinit = function(inst)

and put this:

 

local zzz = -1

local function sanRe(inst)

    if inst:HasTag("nomove") then
        zzz = zzz + 1
        inst.components.sanity.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_TINY * (zzz/2)
    else
        inst.components.sanity.dapperness = 0
        zzz = -1
    end
end

 

into (your mod name).lua

 

The "nomove" is my custom tag. Purpose of the script: the longer I stay in "nomove" state, the faster my sanity will regen, take 15s to start.
