Bedazzlement

Overview

The Bedazzlement component manages the "bedazzled" state for an entity, which is primarily used for Spider Dens. When active, it stops the den's growth, changes its appearance and minimap icon, and periodically emits a pacifying effect on nearby spiders. The component also handles saving and loading this state.

Dependencies & Tags

Dependencies:

• growable: Used to stop and start the entity's growth cycle.

Tags:

• bedazzled: Added to the entity when Start() is called and removed when Stop() is called. This tag signifies the active bedazzled state.

Properties

Main Functions

Start()

• Description: Activates the bedazzled state on the entity. It adds the bedazzled tag, plays the bedazzle animation and sound, shows a flare effect, and stops the growable component. It also updates the minimap icon and ground creep radius and begins a periodic task to pacify nearby spiders.
• Parameters: None.

Stop()

• Description: Deactivates the bedazzled state. It removes the bedazzled tag, hides the flare effect, plays a sound, and resumes the growable component. It also restores the original minimap icon and ground creep radius and cancels the spider pacification task.
• Parameters: None.

PacifySpiders()

• Description: Finds all eligible spiders within a radius determined by TUNING.BEDAZZLEMENT_RADIUS and the den's tier. It then applies the bedazzle_buff debuff to each spider found, pacifying them.
• Parameters: None.

OnSave()

• Description: Serializes the component's state for saving. It returns a data table indicating whether the entity is currently bedazzled.
• Parameters: None.

OnLoad(data)

• Description: Restores the component's state from loaded data. If the data indicates the entity was bedazzled, it calls Start() to reactivate the state.
• Parameters:
  • data (table): The data table returned by OnSave.
