Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-02-27

This file is marked as unused and unmaintained in the official codebase. It exists only as a legacy reference, and should not be used as a reference for new development.

Overview​

This component defines the AI brain for Werepig entities (WerePigBrain). It inherits from Brain and implements behavior logic using a behavior tree (BT) composed of common behavior nodes. The brain handles priority-based decision making: panic responses take precedence, followed by opportunistic eating, combat, and then wandering near a remembered home location. It interacts with combat, eater, follower, homeseeker, and knownlocations components to coordinate actions.

Note: The file name (beardbunnymanbrain.lua) does not match the actual class name (WerePigBrain). This mismatch suggests the file was likely misnamed or repurposed during development and is no longer actively used.

Dependencies & Tags​

  • Components used:
    • combat: accessed via inst.components.combat.target, inst.components.combat.defaultdamage
    • eater: accessed via inst.components.eater:CanEat(...)
    • follower: accessed via inst.components.follower:GetLeader()
    • homeseeker: accessed via inst.components.homeseeker.home and IsValid()
    • knownlocations: accessed via inst.components.knownlocations:GetLocation("home") and inst.components.knownlocations:RememberLocation(...)
  • Tags: None identified.

Properties​

The class does not declare any public properties in the constructor. All state is managed internally by behavior nodes and component interactions.

Main Functions​

FindFoodAction(inst)​

  • Description: Locates an edible entity within SEE_FOOD_DIST (10 units) that satisfies CanEat() and is on a passable point. Returns a buffered EAT action targeting that entity, or nil.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity): The entity instance whose brain is making the decision.
  • Returns: BufferedAction or nil.

GoHomeAction(inst)​

  • Description: Constructs a buffered GOHOME action if the entity has no active leader, has a valid homeseeker component, and a valid home location stored in homeseeker.home.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity): The entity instance.
  • Returns: BufferedAction or nil.

TargetIsAggressive(inst)​

  • Description: Checks whether the current combat target is currently aggressive — that is, has positive defaultdamage, has combat component, and is targeting the entity (target.components.combat.target == inst).
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity): The entity instance.
  • Returns: boolean — true if the target is aggressive and valid.

WerePigBrain:OnStart()​

  • Description: Initializes the behavior tree root node. Establishes priority order: panic conditions > safe eating > combat (chase and attack) > wandering near home. Uses WhileNode to enable opportunistic eating only when the target is not aggressive.
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: None. Sets self.bt to the constructed BT instance.

WerePigBrain:OnInitializationComplete()​

  • Description: Records the entity’s current position as the "home" location using KnownLocations:RememberLocation(...).
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: None.

Events & Listeners​

None. This component does not register or dispatch any events directly. Behavioral responses (e.g., panic) are driven by BrainCommon helper nodes.
