Simplemagicgrower

Overview

This component implements a recursive growth mechanism that accelerates the natural growth process of an entity by repeatedly applying growth steps until a target growth stage (last_stage) is reached. It is designed to work alongside a growable component and temporarily tags the entity with "magicgrowth" during active growth.

Dependencies & Tags

• Component dependency: Requires the growable component to be present on the same entity.
• Tags added: "magicgrowth" (added when StartGrowing is called).
• Tags removed: "magicgrowth" (removed after reaching last_stage).

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
inst	Entity	nil (set in _ctor)	Reference to the owning entity.
last_stage	number	nil	The target growth stage at which to stop magical growth. Set via SetLastStage.

Main Functions

SetLastStage(last_stage)

• Description: Sets the target growth stage (last_stage) that defines when growth should cease.
• Parameters:
  • last_stage (number): The desired final growth stage value.

Grow()

• Description: Performs a single growth step via growable:DoGrowth() if growth is possible, then schedules another growth step after a short random delay using a one-time task. If the current stage meets or exceeds last_stage, growth stops and the "magicgrowth" tag is removed.
• Parameters: None.

StartGrowing()

• Description: Begins the magical growth process by adding the "magicgrowth" tag and invoking Grow() for the first time.
• Parameters: None.
