Houndedtarget

Overview

This component tracks and aggregates modifiers affecting an entity's target weight (influence on AI targeting priority) and determines whether the entity qualifies as a "hound thief" target, primarily used by the Hounded event logic in Don't Starve Together.

Dependencies & Tags

• Depends on SourceModifierList utility class for managing additive and boolean modifiers.
• Does not add or remove tags on its own.
• Relies on the host entity (inst) to be a valid component host (e.g.,拥有 inst:AddComponent support).

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
inst	Entity	nil (injected)	Reference to the entity this component is attached to.

hound_thief_sources	SourceModifierList	SourceModifierList(inst, false, SourceModifierList.boolean)	Tracks boolean flags indicating if the entity should be treated as a hound thief target.
hound_thief	boolean	false	Deprecated legacy flag; retained for backward compatibility but should not be used.
