[Solved]How to use GetModConfigData(" ") in character.lua?

[. . .]

Hello, if someone can help me with this that'd really help be great !

So, how can I use " GetModConfigData("   ") " in my character.lua? The game crashes & says "use ModIndex:GetModActualName(   )" or something like that, but I try to use that instead of the other & I get crash " variable 'ModIndex' is not declared"... Help would be appreciated ..

Thanks for looking at my problem, have a good time !

I'd be interested to see if anyone has directly linked data from that function straight to a character (from what I can tell it's mod utility specific, so I assume it's for the mod initialise only), I have merely used it to adjust my character's mechanic by reading the function value from main. Sample:

local Mad_enabled = GetModConfigData("Mad_CHK")

-- if mad disabled
if not Mad_enabled then
	AddPrefabPostInit("warrick", function(inst)
		inst.madness = 1
	end)
end

I've tested the impact of the code via network and client - it all matches up even though inst.madness is network specific (past pristine/not world etc).

Hope this helps some!

the easiest way would be to store your modsetting in TUNING.
So in modmain you do

GLOBAL.TUNING.MYMODNAME_SPEED = GetModConfigData("characterspeed")

and then use
TUNING.MYMODNAME_SPEED
in your other game files.
