Krampus

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

Overview​

krampus is a boss-level hostile entity prefab with combat capabilities, sleep cycle support (sleeper component with watchlight enabled), loot dropping, and inventory handling. It features a dynamic animation system that toggles between "ARM" and "SACK" states, likely representing whether the sack is full or empty. The prefab integrates with its custom brain (brains/krampusbrain.lua) for AI behavior and supports targeting and aggro sharing (commented out in code). It is part of the game's world entity system and uses physics, network sync, and dynamic shadow rendering.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst.entity:AddTransform()
inst.entity:AddAnimState()
inst.entity:AddSoundEmitter()
inst.entity:AddDynamicShadow()
inst.entity:AddNetwork()

MakeCharacterPhysics(inst, 10, 0.5)
inst.Transform:SetFourFaced()

inst:AddTag("scarytoprey")
inst:AddTag("monster")
inst:AddTag("hostile")
inst:AddTag("deergemresistance")

inst:AddComponent("health")
inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(TUNING.KRAMPUS_HEALTH)

inst:AddComponent("combat")
inst.components.combat:SetDefaultDamage(TUNING.KRAMPUS_DAMAGE)
inst.components.combat:SetAttackPeriod(TUNING.KRAMPUS_ATTACK_PERIOD)

inst:AddComponent("sleeper")
inst.components.sleeper.watchlight = true

inst:AddComponent("lootdropper")
inst.components.lootdropper:SetChanceLootTable('krampus')

inst:ListenForEvent("attacked", function(inst, data) inst.components.combat:SetTarget(data.attacker) end)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: inventory, locomotor, sleeper, health, combat, lootdropper, inspectable
Tags added: scarytoprey, monster, hostile, deergemresistance

Properties​

No public properties are defined in the constructor or exposed beyond component-specific properties (e.g., inst.components.locomotor.runspeed).

Main functions​

Not applicable. This is a prefab constructor (fn) that returns a fully configured entity instance; no standalone functions beyond internal helpers are defined.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: attacked - triggers combat target assignment to the attacker via OnAttacked.
  • Pushes: None directly (relies on components to push events).
