[Need Help] Custom Item Properties

[Mr.Cuddlesworth]

So I'm working on my first mod to learn how to program LUA so I can develop better mods in DST. In this mod, I want to add a ball of yarn that soothes the character, restoring their sanity by 25. I have the item as an edible, and every time that item is consumed, it restores the sanity as planned. I just don't like the idea of the character eating a ball of yarn. And I also don't really know how to make the item so it doesn't stack. I currently have it under a large item, but it still stacks;

inst:AddComponent("stackable")
inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_LARGEITEM

instead of having it as

inst:AddComponent("stackable")

Should I have it as

inst:AddComponent("unstackable")

?

If you need the code, this is yarn_ball.lua;

local assets =
{
	Asset("ANIM", "anim/yarn_ball.zip"),
    Asset( "ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/yarn_ball.xml" ),
}

local function fn(Sim)
	local inst = CreateEntity()
	inst.entity:AddTransform()
	inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()

    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)

    inst.AnimState:SetBank("petals")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("yarn_ball")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("anim")

    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end

    inst.entity:SetPristine()

    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
	inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/yarn_ball.xml"

    inst:AddComponent("stackable")
	inst.components.stackable.maxsize = TUNING.STACK_SIZE_LARGEITEM
	
	inst:AddComponent("edible")
    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0
    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 25		
    inst.components.edible.foodtype = FOODTYPE.MEAT

    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")

    return inst
end

return Prefab("common/inventory/yarn_ball", fn, assets)

I have the foodtype as meat, so the character doesnt reject it, as they are a carnivore.

 

Sorry if this is a lot, I'm just really tripped up with this and want to learn how to create a decent item.

The title fits topic better.

I don't see any "unstackable" component in the files, i could have missed it, but why not just commenting the two line about stackable and see what it does ?

Also, maybe you could find a way to make an item like spider gland/healing salve, but for sanity ? I don't know if it's possible.

Alright, I'll try it Thanks!

 

Edit: It's not stackable anymore, thanks, Lumina! I'm still stumped on how not make the item an edible and still function.
