Monkeyprojectile

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-06

Overview

monkeyprojectile is a lightweight prefab instance used as a thrown object (e.g., by Monkeys) in combat. It leverages the projectile component to handle flight and collision behavior, and triggers specific logic on hit or miss: dealing small sanity damage to the target on hit, or spawning a splash effect and a poop entity upon missing or when landing in invalid terrain. It does not persist across game saves (persists = false) and is optimized for single-use, short-range throws.

The prefab integrates with the sanity, inventoryitem, and projectile components and is designed to be spawned dynamically during gameplay.

Usage example

This prefab is not added directly to entities; instead, it is spawned via SpawnPrefab("monkeyprojectile") and then launched using LaunchAt() (inherited behavior from projectile setup). Example internal usage (as seen in the codebase):

local projectile = SpawnPrefab("monkeyprojectile")
LaunchAt(projectile, target, thrower)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: projectile, inventoryitem (via external calls in OnHit), sanity (via external calls in OnHit)
Tags: Adds projectile

Properties

No public properties are initialized or stored on the entity instance. All configuration is internal to the projectile logic and behavior functions.

Main functions

No custom methods are defined on the entity instance. Logic is implemented as local functions (SplashOceanPoop, SpawnPoop, OnHit, OnMiss) passed as callbacks to the projectile component.

Events & listeners

• Listens to: None (the prefab itself does not register listeners).
• Pushes: The projectile itself pushes no events; however, the OnHit function triggers the target entity to push attacked with { attacker = owner, damage = 0 }.
