What if two mods are going to tweak charater speed?

[Maris]

What is the best way for those mods to be compatible with each other? Is there any addendum function which can be hooked? I found only components.locomotor.bonusspeed variable, but it's just variable, and each mod will overwrite it.

...it could add to the bonusspeed when enabling itself and subtract when disabling?

[DarkXero]

local key = "My unique key"local function AddMyMultiplier(inst)   inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, key, 1.5)endlocal function RemoveMyMultiplier(inst)   inst.components.locomotor:RemoveExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, key)end

That way you don't need to touch what others change, or other multipliers.

And you can add many multipliers too!

Ah, there was a mechanism in place. I shoulda checked the code - I assumed there wasn't based on the question.

Still, you can pretty much edit everything in locomotor and obtain speed boosts.

Yeah, the mechanism was added very recently so I would be surprised if there were a bunch of mods out there still just editing runspeed and walkspeed.

Now bonusspeed variable is deleted from code.

@Maris, @DarkXero, posted the proper method of adjusting speed in the locomotor component. I imagine the bonusspeed variable was deleted because it was a duplicate variable with the other functionality.
