Custom Config isn't working?

[arynn24]

I'm creating one of my first mods, Zenny. I decided I should add a config menu so that it can be re-balanced by users. But, when I change a setting, it will crash upon playing as Zenny.

Details:

[00:01:08]: [string "../mods/zenny-dst/scripts/prefabs/zenny.lua"]:79: attempt to index field 'Zenny' (a nil value)
LUA ERROR stack traceback:

Custom Config (only part):

{
        name = "ZennyHP",
        label = "Max HP",
        options =
        {
            {description = "Cheating- 450", data = 450},
            {description = "High- 300", data = 300},                
            {description = "Default- 250", data = 250},                                        
            {description = "Old def.- 175", data = 175},
            {description = "Weak- 100", data = 100},    
        },
        default = 250,
    },

Max HP modifier:

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(TUNING.Zenny.ZennyHP)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So, it has to do with (TUNING.Zenny.ZennyHP). Does that mean I have to add a tag for it?

Files are below.

I think in modmain.lua you can do

TUNING.Zenny.ZennyHP = GetModConfigData("ZennyHP")

You will have to add "local TUNING = GLOBAL.TUNING" in modmain.lua if you haven't already.

If that doesn't work then try changing TUNING.Zenny.ZennyHP to TUNING.ZENNYHP

You can also try looking at some mods with configurable options as examples.

Also I see you tried adding options for other stats, this is possible you just have to do what I said above for those too

for example ZennySanity, in modmain you can add "TUNING.ZENNYSANITY = GetModConfigData("ZennySanity")

and then replace the sanity stat in zenny.lua the same way you did with the health stat.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! It worked perfectly. I had to make"TUNING.ZENNYSANITY = GetModConfigData("ZennySanity")" in modmain into "TUNING.ZENNYSANITY = (GetModConfigData("ZennySanity"))" though.
Thanks a ton for the help.
