Need help making bees neutral

[Birdskull]

I'm struggling with a few perks for my character mod. Namely, the ability to approach killer bee hives and harvest bee boxes without the resident bees attacking the character.

Wait that's alot of stuff for starting in a new game and it could hurt the players playstyle in the beginning BEEcause of them having to much invintory space, it would help a little to remove bees and butterflies and instead replace them with a bee kepper hat and a butterfly net and let them use it more efficiently. Plus the idea of having a characters stats change throughout seson, have a nomadic playstyle, and rely on more renewable sources would be great to the don't starve team!

The starting inventory is just what's needed for two bee boxes. The insects stack, so only take up two inventory slots. Regardless, that's not what I'm posting about. Everything already in my code works and is as I want it for my character.

I just need help disabling the initial hostility of bee boxes and killer bee hives.

Maybe you can take a loot at the bee nice mod ? In this mod, when you interact with the beebox, bee will not come outside if you have a bee hat. Sure, you'll need to adapt to your specific case (character instead of hat, and adding killer bee hives), but i think it's close to what you want ?

local function FriendlyWaspInit(prefab)
	local function OnNearBy(prefab, target)
	if prefab.components.childspawner ~= nil and not target:HasTag("bee") then
        prefab.components.childspawner:ReleaseAllChildren(target, "killerbee")
    end

	end
	
	if prefab.components.playerprox then
	prefab.components.playerprox:SetOnPlayerNear(OnNearBy)
	end
end

AddPrefabPostInit("wasphive", FriendlyWaspInit

 

Slap this into your modmain and edit the 3rd line to your liking. With this the killer bee hive won't send out bees if you have the bee tag.

For beeboxes you'll have to make a PrefabPostInit similar to this one.

It worked! omg You're a life save, thank you so much!

This thread has been perfect for what I needed, though I have to ask specifically how to make bees not target you when you harvest honey from a beebox.

The 'Bee Nice' mod works nicely on its own but after trying to dissect the code I couldn't figure out exactly how to apply it to my character without having to wear the Beehat. being able to harvest honey without an extra accessory would be nice.

You'd have to do the same thing, except you'll be using beebox's function for the postinit. So find beebox's function where it spawns bees when looted and edit that function for your postinit.

 

Edit:Also maybe next time you should make a new topic instead of necromancing old threads.
