Modding Help Spawning an item on use of stimpack?

So I've created an item, a new stimpack that is supposed to, on consumption/use, spawn an item. The lua doesn't quite work, but it is also supposed to take health away for a bit of time after spawning the item (which I took four different attempts at) Now I will confess I know little to nothing of lua, C# is my thing, so any tips on how I can get this goin?

Here is the lua of the stim statuseffect (soulsiphon.lua)

Code:

function init()
  script.setUpdateDelta(5)

  self.tickDamagePercentage = 0.05
  self.tickTime = 0.2
  self.tickTimer = self.tickTime
  damage = 10
 
end

function update(dt)

    player.giveItem("soulessence", 1),
    world.spawnItem("soulessence", entity.position(), 1)
  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 = "fire",
        sourceEntityId = entity.id()
       
      })
     
    player.giveItem("soulessence", 1)
    world.spawnItem("soulessence", entity.position(), 1)

  end

  effect.setParentDirectives(string.format("fade=00AA00=%.1f", self.tickTimer * 0.4))
end

function uninit()

end

 

i look at the redstim item , then i discover a file redstim.statuseffect

the code in it is Starbound Assets/stats/effects/regeneration/

Code:

{
  "name" : "redstim",
  "blockingStat" : "healingStatusImmunity",

  "effectConfig" : {
    "healTime" : 30
  },
  "defaultDuration" : 60,

  "scripts" : [
    "regeneration.lua"  /// MAYBE IF WE ADD CUSTOM SCRIPT HERE example stimloot.lua
  ],

  "animationConfig" : "regeneration.animation",

  "label" : "Regeneration",
  "icon" : "/interface/statuses/heal.png"
}

wheres is wrote "script" is the field where you can add or remove script maybe you can add a custumize script to it.
Theres also Starbound Assets/items/active/unsorted/rewardbag theres a file called rewardbag.lua that you can maybe use as a template for your script the rewardbag its the most near item for your idea

heres the script of rewardbag.lua:

Code:

require "/scripts/vec2.lua"

function init()
  self.recoil = 0
  self.recoilRate = 0

  self.fireOffset = config.getParameter("fireOffset")
  updateAim()

  self.active = false
  storage.fireTimer = storage.fireTimer or 0
end

function update(dt, fireMode, shiftHeld)
  updateAim()

  storage.fireTimer = math.max(storage.fireTimer - dt, 0)

  if self.active then
    self.recoilRate = 0
  else
    self.recoilRate = math.max(1, self.recoilRate + (10 * dt))
  end
  self.recoil = math.max(self.recoil - dt * self.recoilRate, 0)

  if self.active and not storage.firing and storage.fireTimer <= 0 then
    self.recoil = math.pi/2 - self.aimAngle
    activeItem.setArmAngle(math.pi/2)
    if animator.animationState("firing") == "off" then
      animator.setAnimationState("firing", "fire")
    end
    storage.fireTimer = config.getParameter("fireTime", 1.0)
    storage.firing = true

  end

  self.active = false

  if storage.firing and animator.animationState("firing") == "off" then
    item.consume(1)
    if player then
      local pool = config.getParameter("treasure.pool")
      local level = config.getParameter("treasure.level")
      local seed = config.getParameter("treasure.seed")
      local treasure = root.createTreasure(pool, level, seed)
      for _,item in pairs(treasure) do
        player.giveItem(item)
      end
    end
    storage.firing = false
    return
  end
end

function activate(fireMode, shiftHeld)
  if not storage.firing then
    self.active = true
  end
end

function updateAim()
  self.aimAngle, self.aimDirection = activeItem.aimAngleAndDirection(self.fireOffset[2], activeItem.ownerAimPosition())
  self.aimAngle = self.aimAngle + self.recoil
  activeItem.setArmAngle(self.aimAngle)
  activeItem.setFacingDirection(self.aimDirection)
end

function firePosition()
  return vec2.add(mcontroller.position(), activeItem.handPosition(self.fireOffset))
end

function aimVector()
  local aimVector = vec2.rotate({1, 0}, self.aimAngle + sb.nrand(config.getParameter("inaccuracy", 0), 0))
  aimVector[1] = aimVector[1] * self.aimDirection
  return aimVector
end

function holdingItem()
  return true
end

function recoil()
  return false
end

function outsideOfHand()
  return false
end
