hi i'm new, i'm a friend of olivebread and im creating a character that cant take freezing dmg, and takes it as a buff with sanity

can you help me with this topic?

[verdago7]

Are you saying that you still freeze, but while frozen you don't take damage and instead gain sanity? And the frozen animation would still remain on screen?

[Ibfolk2c]

yea, pretty much

[verdago7]

Trying to find the coding having to do with damage when cold...

[K1NGT1GER609]

Put this in your character lua file:

local function sane (inst)
    if inst.components.temperature.current <= 0 then
    inst.components.sanity:DoDelta(1,1) --change it to your values (value1 is the amount restored, value2 when to do this every x seconds)

  --else if inst.components.temperature.current >= 70 then --optional if you want to get hurt in the summer this will do the trick

 --inst.components.health:DoDelta(-1,1)

--end
    end
end

local master_postinit = function(inst)

    -- Stats of the character
    inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(185) --just reference don't put this its just reference
    inst.components.hunger:SetMax(185)
    inst.components.sanity:SetMax(200)

    inst.components.temperature.hurtrate = 0 --well you'll be immune to freezing damage but what about overheating damage?
 
    inst:DoPeriodicTask(1, sane, nil, inst) -- put this in the master_postinit
    
    inst.OnLoad = onload
    inst.OnNewSpawn = onload
end

it was 70 when you die from overheating

[Ibfolk2c]

would this work for freezing?

 

AddPrefabPostInit("CHARACTER", function(inst)

    if inst.components.freezable then

        inst:RemoveComponent("freezable")

    end

end)

possibly this?

 

inst.components.temperature.hurtrate = 0
else if inst.components.temperature.current >= 75 then
inst.componets.temperture.hurtrate = 30

[K1NGT1GER609]

Its a bit simpler than that, you can put this in the master_postinit:

inst:RemoveComponent("freezable")

I don't use addprefabpostinit as I don't know how to use it or it gave me more of an headache so I didn't bother with it. as for the last part of the code you could put the hurtrate at one and it'll be fine, putting it to 30 will most likely kill your character in seconds. Plus there's a certain limit on how high you can go on those rates and cause a crash since the value was way too high for the game to run.

Well if he adds that component he won't get the freeze animation, will he? I think he wants the freeze animation...

[K1NGT1GER609]

Er... I'm not sure what you want, removing the component just keeps the character from being frozen in ice. It doesn't stop freezing...but I'd advise you to explain exactly what your looking for cause I don't follow the logic atm.

[verdago7]

He wants to freeze, and instead of taking damage, gain sanity. So in winter, when he reaches 0, he will take "sanity freezing" effects. Correct me if I'm wrong

,

I thought your earlier post made sense... didn't test it, but looked like it was on the right track to stop damage but not stop freezing

[K1NGT1GER609]

Well test it then, it should fit the description.

[Ibfolk2c]

the screen freeze if fine, i wouldn't prefer it tho

also could the shivering animation be removed?

thx for the help

[K1NGT1GER609]

Shivering animation can be removed but itll be more trouble than worth. Itll have to do with editing stategraphs and they change every so often, requiring fixing everytime its updated. Last i cant really edit the hud i dont have enough experience for that.
