Beargeroffscreen

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview

BeargerOffScreen is a behaviour node responsible for off-screen movement and environmental interaction for the Bearger boss. It manages pathfinding within a defined roaming boundary, destroys trees and boulders along its path, and drops trail items (e.g., fur tufts) as visual and loot feedback. The component extends BehaviourNode, integrates with the grid-based world topology, and depends on the workable and lootdropper components for destruction and loot handling.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddTag("bearger")
inst:AddComponent("beargeroffscreen")
inst.components.beargeroffscreen:Visit()

Dependencies & tags

Components used: workable, lootdropper Tags: None added or removed by this component (check for "running", "tree", "boulder" tags on other entities).

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
inst	Entity	(none)	The entity instance this behaviour controls (expected to be Bearger).
waittime	number	0	Timestamp of the next allowed move action.
roamedBefore	boolean	false	Tracks whether initial roaming region setup has occurred.
boundary	table	nil	Array of points defining the convex hull of the current roaming area.
roamAreaNode	Node	nil	The central topology node of the current roaming region.
roamAreaReached	boolean	false	Whether Bearger has entered its roaming boundary.
destpos	Point	nil	Current target destination position.
lastangle	number	nil	Last heading angle for smoothing wander direction.
finaldest	table	nil	Destination node for grid-aligned movement (unused in current PickNewDirection_Rampage path).
lastvisitednode	Node	nil	Previously visited topology node (for path redundancy avoidance).

Main functions

WorkEntitiesAlongLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, radius)

• Description: Destroys all workable entities (trees, boulders) that lie within a given radius along a line segment. Also sets their loot table to empty if they are trees or boulders.
• Parameters:
  • x1, y1 (number) — Start point of the line segment.
  • x2, y2 (number) — End point of the line segment.
  • radius (number) — Tolerance radius for entity proximity to the line.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: No effect if the entity lacks workable or if CanBeWorked() returns false.

DropTrailItem(x, y, z)

• Description: Spawns a furtuft prefab at the specified world coordinates.
• Parameters:
  • x, y, z (number) — World position to spawn the trail item.
• Returns: Nothing.

DropTrail(x1, y1, x2, y2, dropsPerUnitChance)

• Description: Iterates along a line segment and probabilistically drops trail items based on a per-unit chance.
• Parameters:
  • x1, y1, x2, y2 (number) — Start and end coordinates.
  • dropsPerUnitChance (number) — Probability (0–1) of dropping an item per unit of distance.
• Returns: Nothing.

DropGroundPoundTrail()

• Description: Drops a random number of trail items in a circular pattern around Bearger’s current position (used for ground pound effect, currently disabled in gameplay logic).
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

SetupRoaming()

• Description: Initializes or updates the roaming boundary (via convex hull of nearby topology nodes) and sets initial state for wandering within that region.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

Roam()

• Description: Moves Bearger directly to destpos, destroys objects along the path, drops trail items, and computes the next wander destination.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

Visit()

• Description: Main entry point for the behaviour node. If status is READY, initializes roaming; otherwise executes one roam step and schedules the next after timePerStep seconds.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: Calls self:Sleep(0.01) at the end to allow future node rescheduling.

GetRandomWanderDestWithinBoundary(lookAhead, moveRadius, curAngle)

• Description: Samples candidate points in a fan pattern to find a valid walkable offset within the roaming boundary and within line-of-sight.
• Parameters:
  • lookAhead (number) — Max distance to scan ahead.
  • moveRadius (number) — Fraction of lookAhead to clamp final movement distance.
  • curAngle (number) — Starting angle (optional; defaults to stored lastangle).
• Returns: Point, number — Destination point and the final checked angle.

PickNewDirection_Rampage()

• Description: Selects the next destination for Bearger. Initially steers toward the roaming center; afterward, uses GetRandomWanderDestWithinBoundary to pick random wander points inside the boundary.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

PickNewDirection()

• Description: Legacy grid-based pathfinding (unused in current Visit() flow). Populates finaldest with the next topology node.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.
