Deathloothandler

Overview

This component is responsible for storing and managing data related to an entity's potential loot drop upon death, along with an associated "level" value. It handles the persistence of this data through save and load operations, but does not directly execute the dropping of items. Its primary role is to hold the relevant information for other systems to utilize when an entity perishes.

Main Functions

StoreLoot(prefabs)

• Description: Adds a list of prefab strings to the component's internal loot table. These prefabs represent items that could potentially be dropped by the entity.
• Parameters:
  • prefabs (table of strings): A table containing prefab names to be added to the loot list.

GetLoot()

• Description: Returns the current list of prefab strings stored as this entity's potential loot.
• Parameters: None.

SetLevel(num)

• Description: Sets the component's internal level value. This level can be used to categorize or scale the loot.
• Parameters:
  • num (number): The new level to set.

GetLevel()

• Description: Returns the current level value associated with the loot.
• Parameters: None.

OnSave()

• Description: Prepares the component's data for saving. It returns a table containing the level and loot data only if the level is greater than 0, ensuring that the component's state is persisted only when it holds meaningful data. It also includes add_component_if_missing for proper loading.
• Parameters: None.

OnLoad(data)

• Description: Restores the component's level and loot data from saved game data. If data is nil or specific keys are missing, it defaults level to 0 and loot to an empty table.
• Parameters:
  • data (table): A table containing the saved level and loot values.
