Itemmimic Data

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

Overview

This file defines a configuration table that specifies which tags an item must have (MUST_TAGS) and which tags it must not have (CANT_TAGS) in order to be a valid target for the itemmimic prefab. It serves as a data contract used during mimic selection logic to filter valid candidates in the game world.

Usage example

-- Typical usage in the itemmimic prefab or related logic:
local ItemmimicData = require("prefabs/itemmimic_data")

local function IsValidMimicTarget(inst)
    for _, tag in ipairs(ItemmimicData.MUST_TAGS) do
        if not inst:HasTag(tag) then
            return false
        end
    end
    for _, tag in ipairs(ItemmimicData.CANT_TAGS) do
        if inst:HasTag(tag) then
            return false
        end
    end
    return true
end
