Healingsalve

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

Overview

healingsalve is a consumable inventory item prefab that restores health via the healer component. Two variants exist: standard healing salve (healingsalve) and acid-formula healing salve (healingsalve_acid). The acid variant grants a temporary acidrainimmune tag and heals over time via a debuff (healingsalve_acidbuff). The debuff system handles attachment/detachment logic, expiration, and persistence across saves/load events.

Usage example

-- Create and use standard healing salve
local salve = SpawnPrefab("healingsalve")
player.components.inventory:GiveItem(salve)
player.components.inventory:Equip(salve)
player:PushEvent("useitem", { item = salve })

-- The acid variant applies a temporary debuff
local acid_salve = SpawnPrefab("healingsalve_acid")
player.components.inventory:GiveItem(acid_salve)
player:PushEvent("useitem", { item = acid_salve })

Dependencies & tags

Main functions

OnHealFn(inst, target)

• Description: Callback function for healingsalve_acid that triggers the debuff application on the target after healing. Not used for the standard salve.
• Parameters:
  inst (Entity) — the healingsalve_acid instance.
  target (Entity) — the entity receiving the heal.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: No explicit error handling; assumes valid target with AddDebuff support.

Events & listeners

• Listens to: death — cancels the debuff when the target dies to avoid invalid operations.
• Pushes: None directly; the debuff component fires internal events such as debuffattached, debuffdetached, debuffextended, and debuffexpired.
