heya there, it's me again... crawling back after just a week or so of getting assistance before on here, helping point my short attention span toward the ignorant mistake of capitalization of Dot's name into the code(dammnit, english class!). i attempted to add nightvision by myself, but i don't really know how to code. one quick google search lead me to THIS thread: after copying and pasting what i thought was right into what i thought was the right spot in the dot.lua[charactername].lua located in the scripts folder for people who are following along). this is what i copied and pasted:____________________________________________________________ local NIGHTVISION_COLOURCUBES = { day = "images/colour_cubes/ruins_light_cc.tex", dusk = "images/colour_cubes/ruins_dim_cc.tex", night = "images/colour_cubes/purple_moon_cc.tex", full_moon = "images/colour_cubes/purple_moon_cc.tex", } local function SetNightVision(inst, enable) if TheWorld.state.isnight or TheWorld:HasTag("cave") then inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(NIGHTVISION_COLOURCUBES) else inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(nil) end end -- This initializes for both the server and client.

I've been trying to figure out this problem for a while but due to *cough* lack of programming skill *cough* I've had issues. Basically i want my character to have night vision so I've basically took the night vision code from Woodie and put it on my character but added a bit so it fits what i want it to do. This is the night vision code (Not the entire script): local MONSTERVISION_COLOURCUBES ={ day = "images/colour_cubes/beaver_vision_cc.tex", dusk = "images/colour_cubes/beaver_vision_cc.tex", night = "images/colour_cubes/beaver_vision_cc.tex", full_moon = "images/colour_cubes/beaver_vision_cc.tex",}local function NightVision(inst)if not TheWorld.ismastersim then inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(true) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(MONSTERVISION_COLOURCUBES)endendlocal function NightVision2(inst)if not TheWorld.ismastersim then inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(false) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(nil) endendinst:WatchWorldState("startnight", NightVision)inst:WatchWorldState("startday", NightVision2)The code seems to work fine but according to a friend I've messed up the porting of my mod to DST as whenever my character comes into vision of another player on a dedicated server, it crashes with this error: "[00:05:09]: [string "scripts/components/playervision.lua"]:43: attempt to index field 'inventory' (a nil value)" I just don't know what to do sadly and i was wondering if someone could help me?

How would I be able to run this function client-side only? local function FormVision(inst, phase) if inst.trentform and phase == "night" then inst.entity:AddLight() inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.5) inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.9) inst.Light:SetRadius(15) inst.Light:SetColour(245/255,255/255,245/255) inst.Light:Enable(true) else inst.Light:Enable(false) endend

Hey guys, I found some code to enable a lightsource at night (nightvision) but right now it is visible for all the players on the server. I want it to be playervision-only. This is the code for the "light": Is it possible to make this light (or any other light) player-only? I really think that nightvision is a cool perk, but it's a gamebreaker when everyone can see it. I looked into woddie's code for beaver, but it's just the same as stated above. Since it was singleplayer, it worked as intended. Is it possible to make a player-only light now when it's multiplayer? Best regards
