Modding Help (SOLVED) Custom "debuff" that grants negative hunger regen (not working)

Hi, ran into issues with making a debuff, that, yeah.
In theory, should give the player the debuff Munchies (which it does), and detract hunger if hunger is more than empty (not working, will tweak once I get it working)

Code:

function init()
    if (hungerLevel > hungerMin) then
    self.tickTimerPenalty = self.tickTimePenalty
end
end
function update(dt)
  status.modifyResource("hunger", self.hungerRate * dt)
end

function uninit()
 
end

Code:

{
    "name" : "munchies",
    "effectConfig" : { "foodAmount" : 25, "emissionRate" : 25 },
    "defaultDuration" : 120,
    "scripts" : [ "munchies.lua" ],
    "label" : "The munchies",
    "icon" : "/interface/statuses/hungry.png"
}

 

Pretty sure you're not initializing hungerLevel and hungerMin properly. The function currently doesn't have any way to know that what those two mean are values used by the player.

 

So that'd mean... I'd have to turn it into a damage that affects Hunger instead of Health?
I'm completely new to all this, so I wouldn't know where to start.

 

What you need to do is something so it knows where to get the values, so either initialize or replace hungerMin and hungerLevel with the appropriate values. I'm assuming hungerMin is supposed to be the foodAmount in effectConfig, right? For that one, you would need to do something like config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25) (the first is what your parameter in the effectConfig is, the number after it is what you want the default to be in case it for some reason does not have a valid parameter there). As for the hungerLevel, you want status.resourcePercentage("food"). Also, your code uses status.modifyResourcePercentage("hunger", stuff) where you should be using "food" instead of "hunger".

 

Eep, ok, lot to take in and decompress there- misnames like hunger->food happen from cross-mod checking, and checking against outdated mods, so I'll make sure to compare to original assets more than other mods.

So, the changes should be:
Replace "hunger" with "food" where applicable, otherwise change to correct value
Change init to get food parameter
Change update to "If food is above 25, 5x food degen until 25"

Of that, I've figured out it should look more like this:

Code:

function init()
    config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25)
end

function update(dt)
    if status.resourcePercentage("food") > ("foodAmount") then
    status.modifyResource("food", self.foodRate * dt)
    end
end

function uninit()
end

but I'm pretty sure there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, as I get back this:

Code:

[23:28:07.082] [Error] Exception while invoking lua function 'update'. (LuaException) Error code 2, [string "/stats/effects/cannabis/munchies.lua"]:6: attempt to compare string with number
stack traceback:
    [C]: in metamethod '__lt'
    [string "/stats/effects/cannabis/munchies.lua"]:6: in function <[string "/stats/effects/cannabis/munchies.lua"]:5>

 

if status.resourcePercentage("food") > ("foodAmount") then
should be
if status.resourcePercentage("food") > config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25) then
and without the config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25) in the init. Or, otherwise, do self.hungerLevel = config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25) in the init and do
if status.resourcePercentage("food") > self.hungerLevel then

Also, I recommend you join the Starbound discord's modding channel: https://discordapp.com/channels/176434793674833920/176662557199695883
You can get really rapid responses and feedback there.

 

Oooh, right, gotcha, duh.
With that change, it has stopped erroring!
...But it still doesn't drain the food bar any faster, I assume that's in the next segment after 'then'.

And thanks for the link, I wouldn't have thought to look for a livechat for modding assistance- I'll do the thing with it.

So, currently doesn't error, effect shows up with name, effect drains at basically the same time as the primary effects, but doesn't DO anything.

Code:

function init()

end

function update(dt)
    if status.resourcePercentage("food") > config.getParameter("foodAmount", 25) then
    status.modifyResource("food", self.foodRate * dt)
    end
end

function uninit()

end

 

Have you actually defined self.foodRate? Because you don't seem to have done so. Also, I think you want status.consumeResource, rather than status.modifyResource. modifyResource, according to the starbounder wiki, adds the amount specified in its second parameter, while what you want is to try and remove that amount.

 

No, I haven't- I have no idea what it means to do so, either. I did fix modify->consume, though.

 

You need to initialize self.foodRate: so, in init, either do the same thing with config.getParameter (if you decide to put foodRate into your statuseffect file's effectconfig) as with "foodAmount" and add self.foodRate = config.getParameter("foodRate",<default value>) to the init, or alternatively just add self.foodRate = <value you want to give it> to the init.

 

Alright, got help from the peeps over on the Discord server- it now works EXACTLY how I wanted!
vo.3 releasing soon
