Sharkboi Waterbrain

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

Overview​

SharkboiWaterBrain is a brain component responsible for governing the behavior of the Sharkboi entity while it is in the water. It inherits from Brain and sets up a basic behavior tree (BT) with a single high-priority node: a Wander task. This component is used to give the Sharkboi a passive, non-aggressive swimming pattern underwater, avoiding complex decision-making and focusing on random movement.

The component relies on the external behaviours/wander.lua module to supply the Wander behavior node used in the behavior tree root.

Usage example​

local inst = WorldEntities.CreateEntity("sharkboi")
inst:AddComponent("brain")
inst.components.brain:SetBrainClass("sharkboi_waterbrain")
inst.components.brain:Start()
