Gain sanity at night/ lose sanity at day

[Gian383]

I'm trying to work out a character that would gain sanity during nighttime and lose sanity during the day. So far I've compiled a few changes in the sanity component into another component. Here's the snippet with the changes I've made

 

[codesyntax] local light_delta = 0
local lightval = self.inst.LightWatcher:GetLightValue()

local day = TheWorld.state.isday and not TheWorld:HasTag("cave")

if night then
light_delta = TUNING.SANITY_DAY_GAIN
elseif dusk
local highval = TUNING.SANITY_HIGH_LIGHT
local lowval = TUNING.SANITY_LOW_LIGHT

if lightval < highval then
light_delta = TUNING.SANITY_NIGHT_LIGHT
elseif lightval > lowval then
light_delta = TUNING.SANITY_NIGHT_DARK
else
if day light_delta = TUNING.SANITY_NIGHT_MID
end

else day light_delta = light_delta*self.night_drain_mult
end
end[/codesyntax]

 

I tried adding it to my character's modmain to replace the normal sanity but making this true and the original sanity component false didn't work. I'd appreciate the help.

Huh?? Not sure what you were trying to do, but it does not sound like the right thing ("making this true"?).

 

But I wouldn't replace the sanity component, as it's a replicable component (and tied to player_classified) and we can't mod those yet. There are a couple of approaches you could take... you could override Sanity:Recalc(dt) like this:

inst.components.sanity.Recalc = function(self, inst)    --your version of the recalc function hereend 

Alternatively, you could use sanity.dapperness, and tie it to the phase change event like so:

inst:WatchWorldState("isday", function(inst, val)    local mult = val and 1 or -2    inst.components.sanity.dapperness = mult*TUNING.SANITY_NIGHT_LIGHTend)

I think that should make it gain sanity equivalent to the dusk/night sanity drain during the dusk/night, but lose the same amount during the day. The multiplier for not-day is -2 so that it both cancels out the normal night drain (-1) and gives that amount on top of it.

 

The way you have yours written right now, if you were using the overriding Recalc approach, would negate sanity loss from being completely in the dark. Not sure if that's what you intended.

Thank you for the help. With true/false I was trying to get the game to recognize my custom sanity file instead of the original one but if it can't be overwritten then that won't work. I'll try out your suggestions and post results here.

 

Side note: Yes, I was trying to negate sanity loss in the dark and have daytime drain his sanity instead.

As of right now the game crashes when I try to apply either or with my mod (The mod works without the changes). I'll keep looking into what I can do and trying things out and I'll post any results here

@Gian383 Might not be exactly what your looking for but I managed to get my character to do what your looking for with a function. Kinda based on Willow's.

local function sanityfn(inst)local delta = 0if TheWorld.state.isday thendelta = -0.25elseif TheWorld.state.isdusk thendelta = 0.5elseif TheWorld.state.isnight thendelta = 0.95endreturn deltaend

with a

inst.components.sanity.custom_rate_fn = sanityfn

in the master post.init

Not sure what you were trying to do, but you only need these two lines for sanity swap:

inst.components.sanity.night_drain_mult = -14 --Sanity gained at night.inst.components.sanity.dapperness = TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL * (-8) --Sanity lost during the day.

Those number are major gain/drain numbers I use in my mod, you'll probably want to lower them a bit. Make sure both numbers stay negative, otherwise you'll gain during the day, and lose at night.

[Pyrobolser]

Here :

local function updatestats(inst)   if TheWorld.state.phase == "day" then      inst.components.sanity.dapperness = (TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL * -5)     elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "dusk" then      inst.components.sanity.dapperness = (TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL * 3)   elseif TheWorld.state.phase == "night" then      inst.components.sanity.dapperness = (TUNING.DAPPERNESS_SMALL * 8)   endend

[Pyrobolser]

Don't forget to call it on your fontion, like this :

inst:WatchWorldState( "startday", function(inst) updatestats(inst) end )inst:WatchWorldState( "startdusk", function(inst) updatestats(inst) end )inst:WatchWorldState( "startnight", function(inst) updatestats(inst) end ) updatestats(inst)return inst

Place this at the end of the fonction where "inst.soundsname" is called =)
Cya !

thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for!

Also thanks to everyone who provided answers for me, I appreciate it very much so. I can confirm that all of the code you've provided works, though the one I'm quoting above does exactly what I intended to make out of it.

 

Once more, thanks.
