Mandrakebrain

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

Overview​

MandrakeBrain is the behavior tree definition for the mandrake entity. It implements a priority-based behavior tree that handles panic responses (e.g., from fire or electric fences), follows its leader when present, maintains proper orientation toward the leader, and defaults to wandering when neither panic nor leader presence demands action. It relies on external behavior modules (Follow, Wander) and common brain utilities (BrainCommon) to compose its logic.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("brain")
inst.components.brain:SetBrain("mandrakebrain")
-- Additional setup (e.g., adding follower component) must occur before brain activation
