Overwrite or update the HandleDeathCleanup function from the gamelogic.lua

[Kuloslav]

As in the title, I want to overwrite or update the HandleDeathCleanup function from the gamelogic.lua file without changing the entire file.

The first way to replace (

local require = GLOBAL.require

require "gamelogic"

GLOBAL.HandleDeathCleanup  = function(wilson, data, ...)

    -- Do stuff

end

results in a error when i try activate mod:

I also find a different solution for OnPlayerDeath function:
 

GLOBAL.require "playerprofile"
GLOBAL.require "playerdeaths"
GLOBAL.require "saveindex"
GLOBAL.require "screens/mainscreen"
GLOBAL.require "screens/deathscreen"
GLOBAL.require "screens/popupdialog"
GLOBAL.require "screens/bigpopupdialog"
GLOBAL.require "screens/endgamedialog"
GLOBAL.package.loaded.gamelogic = true

 
function GenerateFakeGameLogic()

local f = GLOBAL.io.open("scripts" .. GLOBAL.package.config:sub(1,1) .. "gamelogic.lua", "r") -- Opens gamelogic.lud file into a variable.

GLOBAL.assert(f, "Unable to open gamelogic.lua for reading!")


local fake_game_logic, err = GLOBAL.load(function()
local l = f:read()

    if l then
        return l:gsub('local function OnPlayerDeath', 'function OnPlayerDeath', 1) .. "\n" -- Searches for the "OnPlayerDeath" function. Also pleaces it in a local variable.
    end
end)

f:close()--Closes the file.


if not fake_game_logic then return GLOBAL.error(err) end

GLOBAL.package.loaded.gamelogic = fake_game_logic() or true
GLOBAL.assert( GLOBAL.OnPlayerDeath, "OnPlayerDeath is not global!" )

 --The following code overwrites the OnPlayerDeath function.

GLOBAL.OnPlayerDeath = (function(wilson, data)

    -- Do stuff

end)

end


AddGamePostInit(GenerateFakeGameLogic)

but this return error:

Is there any way to do this except gamelogic.lua file replacement?

Problem solved (by rewriting function  and using it in specific conditions).
