Elixir Container

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-05

Overview

The elixir_container prefab implements a 3-slot portable storage item used primarily for storing ingredients (especially elixir components) before cooking. It integrates tightly with the container, inventoryitem, and burnable components. When opened, it plays an animation and sound; when closed or moved, it resets its state and reverts to the closed animation. It also supports being burnt, which empties its contents.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("elixir_container")
inst.components.container:PutItemInSlot(slot, item)
inst.components.container:Open(player)
-- ... player takes item ...
inst.components.container:Close(player)

Main functions

This file does not define public methods beyond standard component callbacks. It configures behavior via callbacks attached to components.

OnOpen(inst)

• Description: Handles logic when the container is opened — plays the open animation, changes the inventory image, and emits sound. Skips if the container is already burnt.
• Parameters: inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: No-op if inst:HasTag("burnt") is true.

OnClose(inst)

• Description: Handles logic when the container is closed — plays the close animation, resets the inventory image, and emits sound. Skips if burnt.
• Parameters: inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: No-op if inst:HasTag("burnt") is true.

OnPutInInventory(inst)

• Description: Ensures the container is closed when picked up into an inventory.
• Parameters: inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
• Returns: Nothing.

OnBurnt(inst)

• Description: Clears the container’s contents when burnt, then calls DefaultBurntFn to update the entity’s state.
• Parameters: inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
• Returns: Nothing.

OnSave(inst, data)

• Description: Saves whether the container is currently burning or burnt.
• Parameters:
  • inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
  • data (table) — the save table to populate.
• Returns: Nothing.

OnLoad(inst, data)

• Description: Restores the burnt state upon load if applicable.
• Parameters:
  • inst (Entity) — the elixir container entity.
  • data (table or nil) — the loaded save data.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: No-op if data is nil or data.burnt is false/absent.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:

  • OnSave (via inst.OnSave = OnSave) — saves state.
  • OnLoad (via inst.OnLoad = OnLoad) — restores state.
  • burnable.onburnt (via SetOnBurntFn) — triggers emptying.
  • container.onopenfn (set to OnOpen) — handles opening logic.
  • container.onclosefn (set to OnClose) — handles closing logic.
  • inventoryitem.onputininventoryfn (set to OnPutInInventory) — ensures closure when picked up.

• Pushes:

  • imagechange (via ChangeImageName) — via inventoryitem component.
  • onclose, onopen — via container component (handled internally).
  • refreshcrafting — triggered by container.Close when a player closes the container.
