So I have a question, I know that you can add status effects to armor, similar to items like salve and other foods. I'm wondering if there is a way to make it so when the armor is being worn it'll slowly drain the wearer's energy? If this even possible... edit: also wondering about hp regeneration on armor...
Frackin Universe already has some armor that can do HP regen, so yes, it's possible. I see no reason why energy drain isn't possible, seeing as how FU has armor that regenerates it. Unless I'm massively misunderstanding something about Starbound code, I imagine all you'd have to do is give it a negative number on energy regen. If you're looking for the actual code for this, FU's developer would definitely know. He's usually willing to answer questions.
Would it bee too hard to write my own? Coming from someone who has worked java before but not lua... well not to this level. I've modded a lua game before but it wasn't this hard to grasp. Could I write my own armor status effects?
look at /status/effects and decide that for yourself. But if you just assume you can and dive it, you'll probably prove yourself right... maybe after a couple failed attempts but that's how you learn. Also read the documents included because they list the functions you want.
