Icepack

Based on game build 7140014 | Last updated: 2026-03-07

Overview​

The icepack prefab is a wearable item that functions as a portable refrigerator: it grants inventory storage capacity, maintains items in a cold state (slowing spoilage), and visually appears on the character's body when equipped. It integrates with the equippable, container, and inventoryitem components, and uses skin-overriding mechanics to display custom textures on the player model.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("icepack")
if inst ~= nil then
    inst.components.equippable:Equip(player)
    -- After equipping, the container opens automatically
    -- Items can be added/removed via inst.components.container
end

Main functions​

The core behavior of icepack is implemented as callback functions passed to the equippable component. These are not methods of the icepack component itself but rather standalone functions invoked when equipping or unequipping.

onequip(inst, owner)​

  • Description: Called when the icepack is equipped by a character. Overrides visual symbols on the owner's AnimState (including skin support), notifies the owner via the equipskinneditem event, and automatically opens the container UI for the owner.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity) – the icepack instance being equipped.
    • owner (Entity) – the character equipping the item.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None identified; relies on GetSkinBuild() returning nil or a valid string.

onunequip(inst, owner)​

  • Description: Called when the icepack is unequipped. Clears visual overrides on the owner, notifies via unequipskinneditem if skinned, and closes the container UI.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity) – the icepack instance being unequipped.
    • owner (Entity) – the character unequipping the item.
  • Returns: Nothing.

onequiptomodel(inst, owner)​

  • Description: Called when the item is equipped to the model (e.g., in preview UI). Closes the container without triggering full UI interaction.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (Entity) – the icepack instance.
    • owner (Entity) – the entity (often a dummy model).
  • Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None (this file defines no event listeners).
  • Pushes: equipskinneditem, unequipskinneditem — via owner:PushEvent(...).
  • The container emits standard container events (onopen, onclose) when opened/closed via inst.components.container:Open/Close(owner).
