Waterproofer

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

Overview

WaterProofer is a passive component that marks an entity as water-resistant by removing the waterproofer tag when detached and ensuring moisture tracking is disabled for inventory items. It is typically attached to items (e.g., Rain Coat, Umbrella base) to prevent them from becoming wet and degrading in wet environments. It relies on inventoryitem to toggle moisture handling via EnableMoisture(false).

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddTag(" wearable")
inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
inst:AddComponent("waterproofer")

-- Optionally adjust effectiveness (used by some systems)
inst.components.waterproofer:SetEffectiveness(0.5)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: inventoryitem (via EnableMoisture) Tags: Adds waterproofer on construction; removes it on OnRemoveFromEntity.

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
effectiveness	number	1	Multiplier used by external systems to determine how strongly the water resistance applies (e.g., how much rain exposure is reduced).

Main functions

OnRemoveFromEntity()

• Description: Cleans up the component's effects when removed from the entity — removes the waterproofer tag and re-enables moisture tracking on the item.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

GetEffectiveness()

• Description: Returns the current effectiveness multiplier for water resistance.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: number — the effectiveness value (e.g., 1 for full resistance, 0.5 for partial).

SetEffectiveness(val)

• Description: Sets the water resistance effectiveness multiplier.
• Parameters: val (number) — the new effectiveness value.
• Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners

• None identified.
