Can't have different stages of moods?

[alleZSoyez]

So I've created a mirror object. The goal is to have it function similarly to a corpse in that if a pawn sees it, it affects their mood. The only thing is that I'm trying to make it have a different mood effect based on whether the pawn has a beauty/ugly trait. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get the different thoughts to show up in pawns with these traits. It only ever gives pawns the first stage of my thought, as if it's not even seeing that I'm checking for the beauty trait, and I'm not sure what else to try. (Disclaimer: I've never done C# before in my life and copied a lot of this from the source code...)

You've not told RimWorld to use your C# at all; the thoughtClass in your xml should be MyNamespace.MyClass.

Log.Message will verify that your C# is running. I also recommend doing a null-check for pawn.story.

Hi, thank you for responding, and I'm really sorry for the slow reply. Just got done moving to a new place yesterday.

I tried changing the thoughtClass, and it didn't do anything. I did notice however that everything within the ThoughtWorker was being totally ignored, and that the code for when a pawn sees a corpse doesn't even use a ThoughtWorker. So I tried doing it a different way and probably copied over way too much of the code. The only thing that is missing is I can't seem to figure out how to access the Pawn declared in the Thought class. I feel like this is the only way this is going to work, but it's my understanding that it's not possible to access something in an abstract class directly? Would I have to copy that entire thing over too?

It's kind of long, so the code is on pastebin this time.

I think you should look more into how watching artworks(sculptures) work, since corpses gives a bad mood just for being there. Also i think you are missing a ThoughtWorker class somewhere. And multiple stages of moods/thoughts work fine.

[alleZSoyez]

Art sculptures don't give a mood effect though, which is why I went with copying the observed corpse code. You ever walked past a mirror and catch a glimpse of yourself, and you're either like "hey, I look great" or "oh no, I look awful today"? That's what I was going for with this.

I noticed the corpses don't even use a ThoughtWorker, and it seems that things using the IThoughtGiver interface totally ignore a ThoughtWorker. So I'm not really sure how to approach this now.
