Playerinspectable

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview​

PlayerInspectable is a server-side component responsible for synchronizing player equipment (e.g., skins/overrides) and active skill selections across the network in Don't Starve Together. It listens for equip/unequip events and skill-related events, then forwards the relevant data to inst.Network so clients can render the correct character appearance. This component is typically added to player prefabs to ensure equipment and skill states are visible to all players.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("playerinspectable")
-- The component is now active and will automatically sync:
--   - Equipment changes via "equip"/"unequip" events
--   - Skill selection changes via "onactivateskill_server", etc.
