Changing code? Stealth mode

[_FrostyFoxy]

Hey everyone,


First of all is it possible to create a custom key bind for something? If yes how? If not, how do i add a custom item?

I found some code similar to what i wanna implement to my character but i don't know which sections of the code would go where. Also i dunno what i have to change in the code so it works for me.

Idea: Adding an ability to enter some kind of stealth mode / invisibility. I want my character to loose hunger quicker and get thier movement speed slowed down while invisible.

Here's the code i found the invisiblity is granted by a potion (custom item):

	local x,y,z = eater.Transform:GetWorldPosition()	
	local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 50)

	for k,v in pairs(ents) do
		if v.components.combat and v.components.combat.target == eater then
			v.components.combat.target = nil
		end
		--if v:HasTag("hound") and v.components.follower and v.components.follower.leader == owner then
		--	v.components.follower:SetLeader(nil)
		--end
	end
end

local function GoInvisible(inst, eater)

I'm not good at coding! Still i wanna create my own character but i need help ^^' If possible pls explain any of the provided code so I kinda understand how it works thanks in advance :3

[K1NGT1GER609]

The key to invisibility is just right there in your reach and yet no replies. huh ah well I modified the code to trigger invisibility with equipping a certain item of mine so I removed a bit of code that made it a potion and some other code I didn't see where they were going with it(also some lines were repeated).

local function DropTargets(inst)
    local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()    
    local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 50)--get the creatures within the screen radius
    for k,v in pairs(ents) do
        if v.components.combat and v.components.combat.target == inst then--if the creature is targeting inst
            v.components.combat.target = nil--drop inst
        end
    end
end

local function GoInvisible(inst)
    inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = 1.5 --high hunger rate
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 2--lower speed
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 4
    inst:AddTag("notarget") --non-targetable
    inst.AnimState:SetMultColour(0.2,0.2,0.2,.2) --hardly visible too ghostly for me
    if inst.DynamicShadow then --no shadow
        inst.DynamicShadow:Enable(false)
    end
    if inst.MiniMapEntity then --remove the minimap icon
        inst.MiniMapEntity:SetEnabled(false)
    end
    if not inst:HasTag("noplayerindicator") then --other players cant see your icon when getting near or faraway
        inst:AddTag("noplayerindicator")
    end
end

local function GoVisible(inst)
    if not inst:HasTag("combatskat") then
    inst.components.hunger.hungerrate = TUNING.WILSON_HUNGER_RATE --regular hunger rate
    inst.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 4 --regular speed
    inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 6
    inst:RemoveTag("notarget") --npcs can now target inst
    inst.AnimState:SetMultColour(1,1,1,1)--regular color
    if inst.DynamicShadow then --put back the shadow
        inst.DynamicShadow:Enable(true)
    end
    if inst.MiniMapEntity then --icon back
        inst.MiniMapEntity:SetEnabled(true)
    end
    if inst:HasTag("noplayerindicator") then --players can now see your indicater
        inst:RemoveTag("noplayerindicator")
    end
    end
end
    local function stealthmode(inst)
    if inst:HasTag("combatskat") then--does inst have this tag? replace it with beefalo and equip a beefalo hat if you don't believe me
    inst:AddTag("notarget") --put notarget so no npcs can target them
    DropTargets(inst) --do this function
    GoInvisible(inst) --this one as well
    end
end

 

inst:ListenForEvent("equip", stealthmode) --listen when inst puts on something see if inst can go invisible
inst:ListenForEvent("unequip", GoVisible) --listen when inst removes something see if inst goes back to visible

All this goes into the character.lua, all but the last two lines of code go at the very top of the master_postinit and the last two lines near the inst.OnLoad = onload. So you'll need a custom item/equipable to make it work and for that idk what you want to go with. If you need more explanation on some things ill check in the morning its late here.

So far so helpfull ^-^ but then how do i create a custom item like an amulet / neckless to trigger the effect? Also it should be unbreakable :3

Also i think a keybind would be "easier" wouldn't it? ^^' (In my mind it would go kinda like SetKeybind = c)?
 

 

EDIT:

I just noticed there is a diffrence in the hunger rate stuff, what is the diffrence between hunger.burnrate and hunger.hungerrate? If there even is as diffrence xD I'm asking since I'm still changing values :3

Also I'm having issues with uploading the mod to the steam workshop so i don't have to sent it to my friends every time i update it :/ any ideas?
 

UPDATE:
I'm still able to attack while invis is there a possiblity to remove the ability to do that while invis? Didn't think about that ^^'
I also noticed that if i equip any item in my Tool slot and unequip it while invis i loose the invisbility, same if i use wormholes any idea?
Also shadow creatures and hounds should still be able to spot me.

Oh man thats one heck of a subway sandwich of questions so ill answer a couple of them for creating a amulet theres the hard way and the lazy way. The lazy way is by making an item with this:

under sample prefab, it won't show on the character but its good if you want a quick test. The hard way is editing a existing amulet file's tex files, renaming the build.bin and coding it just right. Key bind isn't my speciality today it'll take me time to decode how to keybind. burnrate and hungerrate idk the difference right now im busy atm I need time.uploading the mod to steam workshop can have numerous problems that I can't pin down with only this information. for shadows and hounds i think it goes something like this:

local ents = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 50, nil, {"hound", "shadow"}, nil)--get the creatures within the screen radius

no combat i say try including these lines to the invisible and visible functions respectively:

inst.components.combat.canattack = true

inst.components.combat.canattack = false

and thats it for the next few hours.(I know I missed a few questions but ill get back to them later)

[_FrostyFoxy]

Thanks a lot tho <3 sry I know im not making it easy ^^'

[K1NGT1GER609]

Alright well for the difference between burnrate and hungerrate according to the notes is not much. Their almost the same if anything burnrate is a old source of code from don't starve and may be removed later on due it being considered depreciated (it has happened before that they removed some old functions and used new ones). So use hungerrate instead. For an unbreakable amulet its as easy as just not including the fuelable or finiteuses components along with any code that tries to use consume/onfinished (usually its code that has inst.remove). Other than that Idk about the wormhole/tool equip problem ill look into it.
