Glommerflower

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

Overview

glommerflower is aPrefab entity that serves as the leader for Glommer pets in DST. When active, it holds Glommer in a leashed, active state. If Glommer is lost (via removal or death), the flower transitions into a dead state: it becomes perishable, its animation changes, and it gains fuel properties for burning. The prefab uses leader and inspectable components to manage followers and UI status, and it supports save/load state persistence via custom hooks.

Usage example

local flower = SpawnPrefab("glommerflower")
flower.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

-- Manually trigger rebind logic if needed (e.g., after loading)
if flower:HasTag("glommerflower") then
    flower.RefreshFlowerIcon()
end

-- Check status via inspectable component
local status = flower.components.inspectable and flower.components.inspectable:getstatus(flower)
-- status will be "DEAD" if the flower has lost its Glommer
