[SOLVED] How to write PushEvent ?

[nicknightyx]

Hi there, I want to monitor the value change of a variable, say "inst.gcp = 0 or 1". 

How can I push event when the value of "inst.gcp" changes so that I could listen for event in the character.lua?

Would someone please tell me how to do push event? I tried put on the code, it doesn't crash but it doesn't work either. This is my code

Spoiler

[modmain.lua]

function combat(inst)
inst.writing = false
local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x,y,z, 1, {"_writeable"})
for k,v in pairs(ents) do
inst.writing = true
end 
if not inst.writing  and not inst.combat and  inst.components.hunger.current > 1 then 
-- if not inst.combat and not inst.components.hunger.current == 0 and inst.gcp_c == 0 then
-- if not inst.combat and not inst.components.hunger.current == 0 then

inst.combat = true
inst.components.talker:Say("Combat: On")
inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1 + (inst.strength-100)/800
inst.components.health:SetAbsorptionAmount((inst.strength-100)/(inst.strength+100))
inst.components.locomotor.externalspeedmultiplier = (inst.speed-100)/(inst.speed^0.85+400)*3+1  --TUNING.WILSON_WALK_SPEED
inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE *(0.5 + (inst.strength-100)/(inst.strength^0.9+1000) + (inst.speed-100)/(inst.speed^0.9+1000) + (inst.vitality-100)/(inst.vitality^0.9+1000))
-- inst:PushEvent("press_combat")
-- elseif not inst.combat and inst.components.hunger.current == 0 then 
-- inst.components.talker:Say("Too hungry to do any fighting right now.")

elseif not inst.writing and inst.combat  then
inst.combat = false
inst.components.talker:Say("Combat: Off")
inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1
inst.components.health:SetAbsorptionAmount(0)
inst.components.locomotor.externalspeedmultiplier = 1
inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE * 0.5
inst.gcp = inst.gcp + 1
end
 inst:PushEvent("gcpdelta")
end
AddModRPCHandler("hisoka", "combat", combat)

 

Spoiler

[character.lua]

local master_postinit = function(inst)

inst:ListenForEvent("gpcdelta",function()
        inst.components.talker:Say("Did I succeed?")
    end)

end

 

Would someone care to answer? Really appreciate it.

Regards,

Nick
