Crabkingspawner

Overview

This component is a master simulation-only script that plays a crucial role during the save game loading process. Its primary responsibility is to ensure the crabking_spawner entity exists in the world. If, upon loading, a crabking_spawner is not found but saved data indicates its previous existence (position and respawn timer), this component will spawn a new crabking_spawner prefab and attempt to restore its saved state, guaranteeing the Crab King's spawning mechanism persists across game sessions.

Dependencies & Tags

None identified for this component itself. It does, however, interact with entities tagged "crabking_spawner" and accesses components childspawner and worldsettingstimer on the crabking_spawner prefab it may spawn.

Properties

No public properties were clearly identified from the source apart from the standard self.inst reference.

Property	Type	Default Value	Description

Main Functions

LoadPostPass(newents, data)

• Description: This function is a callback invoked during the post-pass stage of loading a saved game. It checks if a crabking_spawner entity currently exists in the world (identified by the "crabking_spawner" tag). If no such entity is found, but the provided data contains saved coordinates (crabkingx, crabkingz) for a previous Crab King spawner, it proceeds to spawn a new crabking_spawner prefab at those coordinates. It then attempts to restore the newly spawned spawner's state, specifically its childspawner.childreninside count and worldsettingstimer for the "regen_crabking" timer, if timetorespawn data is available.
• Parameters:
  • newents: (table) A table containing references to entities that were newly spawned during the current loading process.
  • data: (table) A table containing saved data relevant to this component. It may include crabkingx (number, X-coordinate), crabkingz (number, Z-coordinate), and timetorespawn (number, time remaining on the respawn timer).
