Shard Worldreset

Overview

This component manages the synchronization of the world reset countdown timer between the master shard and secondary shards in a multiplayer DST world, using a networked variable to propagate countdown updates and trigger local event-driven sync actions.

Dependencies & Tags

• Requires: TheWorld.ismastersim (asserted at instantiation; component only exists on the simulation master).
• Uses Network Variable: net_byte named "shard_worldreset._countdown" with sync trigger "countdowndirty".
• No explicit component additions or tag modifications are performed by this script.

Properties

No public properties are initialized in the constructor. The component exclusively uses local module-scope and networked variables.

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
self.inst	Entity	inst (constructor argument)	Reference to the entity the component is attached to (used as a sync anchor, not directly managed).

Main Functions

No public methods are defined. All logic resides in event handlers and closure-based callbacks initialized at construction.

Events & Listeners

• Listens for "master_worldresetupdate" event (on master shard only): Triggers OnCountdownUpdate, which updates the networked _countdown variable with the provided countdown value.
• Listens for "countdowndirty" event (on secondary shards only): Triggers OnCountdownDirty, which pushes a "secondary_worldresetupdate" event to TheWorld with the current countdown value fetched from the networked variable.
