[SOLVED] Coding Help - Healing Item Drops Items

[Eranthis]

Not sure how applicable this will be but basically, I have a backpack item that I'd like to also be usable as a healing item. I understand that if the backpack is carrying items and is used with said items, the items will disappear with the backpack and I was wondering how to have the items spill out when the bag is used.

Right now, the template I've used is your standard backpack. The only difference so far is that the item can be stored in inventory.

    AddPrefabPostInit("healthkit", function(inst)
        inst:ListenForEvent("onremove", function(inst)
            inst.components.container:DropEverything()
        end)
    end)

Not tested, but should work

Where should this be applied? The prefab lua starts off every string set with a "local function"

Or is this applied to modmain?

Actually you can paste this

        inst:ListenForEvent("onremove", function(inst)
            inst.components.container:DropEverything()
        end)

into the end of "local function fn()" function (in healthkit.lua) before "return inst"

Sadly it had no effect.

How you tested?

I added one grass into the backpack slot, used the item, and produced nothing.

Do you use healer component?

Yes

Insert this in healthkit.lua before "return inst"

    inst.components.healer.oldHeal=inst.components.healer.Heal
    inst.components.healer.Heal=function(self,target)
        self.inst.components.container:DropEverything()
        return self:oldHeal(target)
    end

        return self:oldHeal(target)
    end

 

That did the trick!

You're a miracle worker my man.

    end

 

Although just a quick question, will this still function when the kit is being used on another player?

Yes, it should

Sorry to pry on this issue further but for some reason my game crashes whenever I put on the item.

I'll redirect you to the forum here if you're curious:
