Lunarthrall Plant Gestalt

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

Overview​

lunarthrall_plant_gestalt is the prefab constructor function that defines the Lunarthrall Plant Gestalt entity — a boss-like lunar-aligned creature appearing in the Ruins. It is built using core ECS components including animstate, soundemitter, physics, sanityaura, and locomotor. It integrates with the SGlunarthrall_plant_gestalt stategraph and a custom brain (lunarthrall_plant_gestalt_brain). The entity is tagged for gameplay behavior (brightmare, NOBLOCK, soulless, lunar_aligned) and features a 15-second post-spawn timer that initiates its spawn state.

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated internally by the world generation system and does not require direct instantiation by mods. However, a typical usage pattern when referencing its components might look like:

-- Assume `gestalt` is an existing instance of lunarthrall_plant_gestalt
if gestalt:HasTag("lunar_aligned") then
    gestalt.components.locomotor.walkspeed = 5
    gestalt.components.sanityaura.aura = TUNING.SANITYAURA_LARGE
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: timer, sanityaura, locomotor, knownlocations, animstate, soundemitter, transform, physics, network
Tags: Adds brightmare, NOBLOCK, soulless, lunar_aligned
External prefabs referenced: lunarrift_portal (scrapbook dependency)

Properties​

No public properties are initialized or exposed in this prefab file itself. All configuration is performed via component setters in the constructor (fn) and stategraph/brain.

Main functions​

Spawn(inst)​

  • Description: Initialization callback invoked when the entity is placed into the world. Starts a 15-second timer, sets a random rotation, and transitions the entity to the "spawn" state via its stategraph.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — The entity instance being spawned.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None — assumes the entity has a valid timer and stategraph component.

Events & listeners​

None identified. The prefab does not define event listeners or fire custom events directly.
