Modding Help [SOLVED] Custom Status Effect LUA

I'm trying to change it so that instead of having the status effect go away when in water, it will stop if you drink a certain food item OR have a certain status effect already going. (It is similar to fire/burning, but different.) How can one do this with LUA? I've read tutorials, looked at the Wiki, etc.. But it's really hard for me understand what I'm really supposed to be doing.

Code:

require "/scripts/util.lua"
require "/scripts/vec2.lua"
require "/scripts/interp.lua"
require "/items/active/weapons/weapon.lua"

function init()
  animator.setParticleEmitterOffsetRegion("flames", mcontroller.boundBox())
  animator.setParticleEmitterActive("flames", true)
  effect.setParentDirectives("fade=0CBAFF=0.25")
  animator.playSound("burn", -1)
 
  script.setUpdateDelta(5)

  self.tickDamagePercentage = 0.010
  self.tickTime = 1.0
  self.tickTimer = self.tickTime
end

function update(dt)
  if effect.duration() and world.liquidAt({mcontroller.xPosition(), mcontroller.yPosition() - 1}) then
    effect.expire()
  end

  self.tickTimer = self.tickTimer - dt
  if self.tickTimer <= 0 then
    self.tickTimer = self.tickTime
    status.applySelfDamageRequest({
        damageType = "IgnoresDef",
        damage = math.floor(status.resourceMax("health") * self.tickDamagePercentage) + 1,
        damageSourceKind = "holyfire",
        sourceEntityId = entity.id()
      })
  end
end

function uninit()
 
end

What I want to change is:
function update(dt)
if effect.duration() and world.liquidAt({mcontroller.xPosition(), mcontroller.yPosition() - 1}) then
effect.expire()
end
Is there some way I can use effect.sourceEntity() or something?

Any help would be AWESOME, PLEASE!
Thanks!!

 

This can be done with the following code in the scripts of the status effects that you want to remove your status effect, presumably "holyfire":

Code:

status.removeEphemeralEffect("statusEffect")

You have to put this in the script of the status effects that will remove your status effect.
Please note that if you want to do this for vanilla status effects, you will need to do dirty edits or choose an alternative solution that is much more complicated to do entirely on your own.

 

Woahhh, I never thought of actually editing the other status effect to be able to remove this one.
The two are both custom status effects, so it's fine for me! Thank you so much!!
