How to tweak sanity auras of monsters for my character only/add sanity drain during day/gain at night?

[goldfish911]

Alright. So I had some crashy issues, which should be fixed, but now I am confused.

 

How do I make a sanity gain from spiders, in this case, specific only to my character? I tried overwriting the sanity aura from spiders in spider.lua, but that just made all characters get sanity gain from them, obviously.

 

Also, how do I implement sanity drain during the day and sanity gain during the night?

I tried this

 

inst.components.sanity_day_gain = -5

inst.components.sanity_night_mid = +5

inst.components.sanity_night_dark = +20

 

But I think I botched it. Didn't I?

Should it be like this instead?

inst.components.sanity_day_gain = -5/(day_time*32)

inst.components.sanity_night_mid = +5/(night_time*20)

inst.components.sanity_night_dark = +20(night_time*2)

I will be thankful for any and all help.

I'm sorry but it looks like you're just making up variables in hopes of them doing something. None of the components you modified exists and if they would exist they would certainly not work like that.

What you'll need to do is hook into the spider prefab and listen for "dusktime" and "daytime" events and change the sanityaura accordingly. You can find tons of examples on how to listen for these events in the vanilla files and also on the forum.

And for modifying sanity auras, I'd suggest simply using multiples of the existing tuning variables (as seen in spider.lua)

I can't give you any code samples right now though.

I figured out how to modify tuning variables for sanity auras, but how do I go about sanity drain during the day? I wasn't making up random variables, I was referring to to the values in tuning.lua, but that obviously doesn't work. Should I code a custom component or overwrite the sanity component to include drain during the day? On second thought, I should probably look at the sanity component. Right? I hate writing on forums because I think while typing and change my mind mid-paragraph.

Figured it out! Just added 

inst.components.sanity.dapperness = TUNING.CRAZINESS_SMALL

And that did it!
