Help with an item with areas of effect when left on the ground

Hey guys! So, I've been trying my hand on this mod that creates different types of areas of effect when dropped on the ground. 

Intended effect as of the moment: Spawns flowers in a small radius around it. 

 

But the thing is, for this particular item, I tried toying around with its prefab.lua and these were the following results:

1.) The item was doing its effect even when it wasn't placed on the ground.

2.) The item wasn't initially doing its effect, upon ground placement, effect fired but kept doing so.

3 and current iteration.) Not doing its effect at all.

 

 

These were the following topics that I used as reference in developing this mod:

So, first of all, to trigger the effect you should put the "flutter" function call inside the "local function OnDropped(inst)" function, so it will trigger onDropped.

Second, it will start and won't stop since it doesnt have any "escape gate", if you want to make it trigger only once you could change the "DoPeriodicTask' to "DoTaskInTime" that will trigger only once, or create some "escape gate" inside the "flutter" function to disable after X executes.

Thanks for the extremely quick reply! I'll go and do those now and will update you on the results!

Alright! I did as you advised and it seemed to start firing again when I removed the flutter function and started with the DoPeriodicTask trigger but it's a repeat of scenario 2 wherein it didn't stop firing, although it was intended to fire more than once, it should cease to produce flowers when put inside the inventory though, is there anyway to create that scenario?

 

Current iteration:

flutterfly.lua

Updated the iterations and tested a lot of coding, none are still producing the expected results

 

Current Iteration (Flowers do not spawn at all):

flutterfly.lua

 

Previous try (Crashed, error: function argument expected near "=" on the ' inst.flowerpower = inst.DoPeriodicTask (2, flutter) ' line

File for previous try 

flutterfly.lua

If you succeed on firing it when dropped, you could listen for the pick event to stop the "firing".

I'm not sure about the function you will have to call to stop the task, but I'm pretty sure this would be the best aproach, listening for the event of picking item, and if it matches it stop the task.

I tried to use a onpickfn on him but I have no idea how to call out the flower spawning function. When I tried to assign a variable, I got an error:

Still have no idea on how to call out the flower spawning function on my mod item, I checked the pickable.lua on the components folder and only got a few ways to fire the event I want. 

flutterfly.lua

EDIT:

The way you did should work too, just change "inst:flowerpower = inst:DoPeriodicTask(2, flutter)" to "inst.flowerpower = inst:DoPeriodicTask(2, flutter)".

In lua the ":" is used to call the functions, while "." is used to refer the variables inside inst.

 

 

So, I took a look in the "scheduler.lua" file, which executes the tasks, and inside the entityscript.lua its calling the periodictask like this: 

local per = scheduler:ExecutePeriodic(time, fn, nil, initialdelay, self.GUID, self, ...)

And the scheduler has a function to remove all task with the GUID 

function Scheduler:KillTasksWithID(id)

So you should be able to call scheduler:KillTasksWithID(inst.GUID) inside the "OnPickup" function, but it will kill all tasks of that specific item, assuming the only task this item does is the spawns, it should work fine.

Hi again! So I did as you said but I got another error mixed into the equation:

Is there any way that I can make use of the Flutter function inside the on dropped and the on pick up functions? If so, I have no idea how to cancel the flutter function when the pick up function fires.

 

 

flutterfly.lua

So basically the error is because you are calling "local per = scheduler:ExecutePeriodic(time, fn, nil, initialdelay, self.GUID, self, ...)" but there is no "..." params in the onPick function.
Anyway, I think if you replace your onPick function with this, it should work:
  

local function OnPickup(inst)
	scheduler:KillTasksWithID(inst.GUID)
end

Not sure if it's nescessary to add require to scheduler, but I think not.

Good news! I can finally enter the game again! The bad news is it seems to stop spawning the flowers!

So we're a step away from the intended effect!

 

Really, though thank you so much for all your effort!

It should still spawns flower, since we didnt change the onDrop function. Try to erase the onPick function and see if it start spawning, if so there is a problem there, if it doesnt, send me the code you got so I can check for errors.

I'm glad I can help out ^^

So, it dont produce flowers, cause you added a parameter called flutter in the OnDrop function "local function OnDropped(inst, flutter)", so when you call the periodictask referencing the "flutter" it references the paramtere one which is probably nil, if you remove the "flutter" from the parameters and let only the inst one, it should work fine. Also you can uncomment the onPick function to test it out since its not whats causing the error.

That's odd. It seems that it produced the same results as where we started today. Item still produces flowers while in inventory. 

ugh, this is so hard. sorry! 

flutterfly.lua

It's fine, it just means that the 

scheduler:KillTasksWithID(inst.GUID)

is not working as intended, if you could put one print before, to print out GUID, just to check if its right, also print the GUID onDrop so we can compare and make sure they are the same. if the onPick GUID is diferent than onDrop, try to change the "inst.GUID" to "self.GUID".

I'll try to look out the best way to stop the task, maybe I can find something better than killtaskswithid.

EDIT: found out another function that should work properly, change the KillTasks call to "inst:KillTasks()" should do the trick

I tried your most recent suggestion, it still yielded the same results. 

 

Perhaps looking for an alternative way to make use of this item, making it not pickable but destroyable with hammers should offer a similar gameplay fantasy than I wanted it to be. I'll try to do that while also looking out for a way to cancel out the flutter function on pick up event.

The "inst:KillTasks()" still yields the same results? Would have to print variables to check out what is wrong.

There is a lot of ways to make something like that, but everysingle one you will have to cancel the tasks otherwise it will still spawns flowers after "destroyed".

If you want, post the whole mod folder so I can test it out here and hopefully find the error and fix it ^^

So I found out whats causing the error, the scheduler KillTask only works on Tasks and not Periodics, since periodics have the Cancel function its not needed.

So I changed to grab the reference to the periodic, and than call cancel when pickedup, already tried that out and its working as intended.
The only file I changed was the flutterfly.lua < here is the fixed version.
Glad I could fix that for you ^^

Oh my god! Thank you so much for the help! I would never figured this out on my own!

No problem, i'm glad that i'm helping.

I want to see more "usefull" mods on this game, as I'm developing one my own, I try to help out whoever I can too, luckly we can make a good community here!
