[SOLVED] Announce After Eating Item

[Eranthis]

Having trouble wrapping my head around tying an announcer after having a character eating a particular object.
I grabbed the code from the tallbird egg thinking it would help but sadly I'm getting no outcome.

local function OnEaten(inst, eater)
    if eater.components.talker ~= nil then
        eater.components.talker:Say(GetString(eater, "ANNOUNCERNAME") )
    end
end

Is there anything else that needs to be defined?

I am unsure how much the code differs for DST, but in Don't Starve I use this for my custom character:

    inst:ListenForEvent("oneat", function(inst, data)
 if data.food.prefab == "carrot" then
  inst.components.talker:Say("DELICIOUS!")
 end
end)

Just replace "carrot" with whatever you're eating, and "DELICIOUS!" with whatever you're saying.

If you're referencing the tallbird egg code in dst, you'll just need this line in your fn function of your item prefab:

 inst.components.edible:SetOnEatenFn(OnEaten)

If it's in your character.lua so it only happens for only that character then "if food.prefab == "youritem" then" in place of or above the "if eater.components.talker ~= nil" then should work fine!

A quick example of one in a character.lua like this:

local function OnEaten(inst, food)
    if food.prefab == "prefab" then
inst.components.talker:Say(GetString(inst, "ANNOUNCE_EATQUOTE"))
    end
end

and a inst.components.eater:SetOnEatFn(OnEaten) in the master_postinit

Didn't seem to work.

And that did the trick, thanks!~

The code worked for me, just have to put it under master_postinit

@nicknightyx

Ah, master_postinit is part of DST code and not DS, so thank you for clarifying that's how to properly integrate it.
