Gingerbreadpigbrain

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

Overview​

GingerBreadPigBrain defines the behavior tree for the Gingerbread Pig entity in Don't Starve Together. It orchestrates core AI behaviors including panic/flee responses, leashing to a target, and face-orientation logic. The brain uses the Brain base class and composes behaviors from behaviours/wander, behaviours/leash, behaviours/runaway, and behaviours/standstill. It also integrates helper functions from BrainCommon.

The behavior tree prioritizes panic/flee responses over leashing and orientation, ensuring the pig flees from predators before attempting other behaviors.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddBrain("gingerbreadpigbrain")
-- The brain is automatically initialized on entity creation.
-- No additional setup is required; the component reacts to game state via events.
