Boatrace Spectator Dragonlingbrain

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

Overview​

BoatraceSpectatorDragonlingBrain defines the behavior tree for a dragonling entity acting as a spectator during a boat race. It is attached to a brain component and orchestrates movement and orientation toward a designated "indicator" entity (representing the race's current goal) while avoiding conflict with flight-based states. The brain uses the EntityTracker component to locate the target and applies behavior tree logic to maintain a moderate follow distance and face the target continuously.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddTag("dragonling")
inst:AddComponent("brain")
inst:AddComponent("entitytracker")
inst.components.brain:SetBrain("boatrace_spectator_dragonlingbrain")

Main functions​

OnStart()​

  • Description: Initializes and assigns the behavior tree for the dragonling. It sets up a priority node that blocks movement while flying and otherwise executes two concurrent behaviors: following the race indicator and facing it.
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Returns early if self.inst.sg:HasStateTag("flight") is true during the first evaluation, due to the FailIfSuccessDecorator wrapping the ConditionWaitNode. This prevents updates while the entity is in flight state.

Events & listeners​
