Simple cleaning script wanted

[Berwin]

 

Hi

Would someone be able to make me a cleaning script to run every 960 seconds and remove 'rot' from ground, not inventories.

Thank you.

There could be two ways:

Do you really want it the way you described? Or might it be more interesting, if any rot that laid 15 minutes on the ground, will disappear?
So instead all disappearing at once, they will disappear individually.

To be honest I asked for help getting lists of items to become perishable and someone was kind enough to provide this and it's working beautifully.  The problem is perished items are becoming rot.  Ideally I want them to disappear instead.  I don't understand how to change the bit about onperishreplacement. I tried removing the line but the item would then just stop perishing when it gets low.  Another side note, while certain items are in your inventory you see the perishing % and it not until you equip an axe for example and actually use it then you get to see its remaining item uses.  Same with torch which is a bit worrying sometimes   Can this be improved?  Ideally the perishing % could be removed completely and the green background getting lower is enough.  Also why do items like cut stone not have the green background?  Some do some don't.

 

local addperish = {
	["silk"]	=	GLOBAL.TUNING.PERISH_FAST	,
	["twigs"]	=	GLOBAL.TUNING.PERISH_SLOW	,
}
for k,v in pairs(addperish) do
	AddPrefabPostInit(k or "",function(inst)
		if inst.components.perishable==nil then
			inst:AddComponent("perishable")
		end
		inst.components.perishable:SetPerishTime(v)
		inst.components.perishable:StartPerishing()
		inst.components.perishable.onperishreplacement = "spoiled_food"
	end)
end

I think the easiest way would be to change "spoiled_food" into "ash" ? that will dissappear when laying on the ground

Or make birds eat rot(like seeds laying on the ground), there's also a mod that does that with several items, so should be easy to copy from.

Blimey, yes turning things into ash would make sense.  That never even occurred to me.  Out of interest how would I add to the code to make birds eat rot?  I'm still learning but it makes sense to go the ash route.Why also does cut stone not have a green 'perishing' background when in inventory like a lot of other items?

There may be a wide range of confilcts when adding perishable to something that is not ment to be perishable.
But in this case I think maybe the picture of stone is too big, so it covers the perishing background.

Is it possible to change the above script so that weapon and armor, items with durability, have their durability drained over time instead of adding perishing to them?
