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.

Hey guys! 3 things today... 1. Like in woodie's transformation, his nightvision only activates in werebeaver form. I'd like to only have my night vision turn on for my lycan transformation but what should I put in my code that would tell it so? I'm using Kzisor/Ysovuka's transformation code As of now this is my night vision code local function RestoreNightvision(inst) inst:DoTaskInTime(3, function(inst) inst.Light:Enable(true) inst.Light:SetRadius(1) inst.Light:SetFalloff(20) inst.Light:SetIntensity(.1) inst.Light:SetColour(245/255,40/255,0/255) end, inst) end local function UpdateNightVision(inst, phase) local enable = phase == "night" inst:DoTaskInTime(enable and 0 or 1, function(inst) inst.components.playervision:ForceNightVision(enable) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(enable and {} or nil) end) end local function OnInitNightVision(inst) if TheWorld.ismastersim or inst.HUD then inst:WatchWorldState("phase", UpdateNightVision) UpdateNightVision(inst, TheWorld.state.phase) end end this is in my local common_postinit inst:DoTaskInTime(0, OnInitNightVision) 2. Also what colorcube codes should I use to get this sort of look? Original picture from SuperDavid. As of now my night vision is super bright a fully lit as if there were no difference from the day time and night time. I'd like to have it dimmer and bluer similar to how it looks when there's a full moon at night 3. I'd also like to only eat raw meats while in lycan form, but I'm not sure where to put that or how to do it. Oh one more thing, this is alot to ask but much feedback from steam has been conflicted with people clamoring for night vision or not to have it at all. I'd like to add a configurable setting to the mod where you can choose to play with it or without it. Does anyone know how to do this? If anyone has answers I'd love to hear them, thanks so much guys! Much appreciated!

This may seem strange but i want to do a character that has night vision when holding a torch, i already did the night vision but i don't know how to turn it on or off. can anyone help me? local BEAVERVISION_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 common_init(inst) inst.components.playervision:SetCustomCCTable(BEAVERVISION_COLOURCUBES) end

I want to make a ability to my character that he can turn on and off the nightvision by pressing a key in the keyboard. I already have the nightvision, i just want to make a keystroke for it. I found out that the key detection should look something like this inst.components.keyhandler:AddActionListener("charactername", TUNING.CHARACTERNAME.KEY14, "idk") but i can't understand it very well. could anyone help me? Here is the code for my night vision 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 local function common_init(inst) SetNightVision(inst) inst:WatchWorldState( "isday", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) inst:WatchWorldState( "isdusk", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) inst:WatchWorldState( "isnight", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) inst:WatchWorldState( "iscaveday", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) inst:WatchWorldState( "iscavedusk", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) inst:WatchWorldState( "iscavenight", function() SetNightVision(inst) end) end There is probably a better way to do the night vision but i am a noob in programming ;( Sorry if my english is bad

i don't know if ther is a topic about this but i realy like the mod "the nightmare" but every time i die the nightvision geht turned off and i wanted to ask if someone has a soluten to it or if it get's worked on i found out that the nightvision stays on the skeleton if i die but only for a short while and just sometimes thank you all

So, I am trying to implement the favorite pastime of first-time DST modders and am making a custom character. The short story is that the character is meant to be able to see in the dark and gains a minor amount of sanity in it, but consequently its sanity plummets in any light source, in addition to outright burning in sunlight (without protection). I've gotten the sanity calculation for this down on my own and will be working on the sun-burning thing in the future, but I'm having an issue with the night vision. To be specific, night vision is working too well. Everything seems to essentially be rendered in full brightness, which is a problem as I cannot discern light sources with night vision on, which makes the sanity drops from light sources seem borderline arbitrary. I've tried messing with color cubes and while I've noticed ghost vision color cubes do in fact make light sources barely discernible, it's not enough to really work out from a gameplay standpoint. Not to mention that the light needs to be really intense to be visible. One part of this topic is essentially me asking if making custom color cubes is the way forward for making night vision work as I intend. I don't have any idea if it will work out as-is so for all I know I could be wasting my time, which is why I thought I'd inquire first. Failing that, is there some sort of way to configure it that I've missed? Anyway, that's one avenue to finding a solution for this. I have also tried the classic method of simply applying grue immunity via the grue component (which works) and having a light source like so attached to my character: local function common_postinit(inst) -- <Insert snipped irrelevant code here> --if not TheWorld.ismastersim then inst.entity:AddLight() inst.Light:Enable(true) inst.Light:SetRadius(32) inst.Light:SetFalloff(0.9) inst.Light:SetIntensity(0.4) inst.Light:SetColour(255/255,0/255,0/255) --end end But the problem here is that the light is server-side, which of course makes everyone able to see it and gain protection from Charlie - not to mention the fact that it also lowers my character's sanity, being a light source. As you can see by the comments, I've tried making the light client side... but it doesn't seem to do anything with the check enabled. The light doesn't show up. Am I doing something wrong? And finally, if both of these options don't work out, I've simply considered drawing a ring around the effective radius of a light source, which would be ugly but would at least allow me to tell where they begin and end. That is assuming that I can do this. I'd look into that on my own if need be. I'm hoping that one of the solutions above could work before I resort to that, though. In closing, is it possible to 'fix' night vision with color cubes, or to make a client-side light so I can at least fake it and still see (brighter) lights?

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
