Mosquitomermsalve

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

Overview

mosquitomermsalve is a consumable inventory item that functions as a healing salve specifically for merms and Wurt. It is implemented as a prefab with the healer component attached, which defines who can be healed (CanHeal) and what happens when healing occurs (OnHeal). The item supports stacking and integrates with the skilltreeupdater component to grant bonus effects to Wurt under certain conditions.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("mosquitomermsalve")
inst.components.stackable:SetQuantity(3)
inst.components.healer:SetHealthAmount(0) -- Required for healer component initialization
-- When used on a valid target (e.g., a merm or Wurt), the OnHeal function will execute

Dependencies & tags

Components used: inspectable, inventoryitem, stackable, healer, skilltreeupdater, health, debuff Tags: Checks for merm, mermdisguise, player; adds merm_healthregenbuff debuff on successful heal if skill condition met.

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
inst.components.healer.health	number	0	Health amount restored per use; set via SetHealthAmount (not used for direct healing, but required for component setup).
inst.components.stackable.maxsize	number	TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM	Maximum stack size for the item.

Main functions

CanHeal(inst, target, doer)

• Description: Validates whether the target entity can be healed by this item. Used by the healer component to determine eligibility.
• Parameters:
  • target (Entity) — The entity attempting to receive healing.
  • doer (Entity, optional) — The entity applying the item (often the player).
• Returns: true if target is a merm without mermdisguise tag or is Wurt (player tag), or false, "NOT_MERM" otherwise.
• Error states: Always returns a boolean as first value; error message only returned on failure.

OnHeal(inst, target, doer)

• Description: Executes the healing logic for a valid target. Calculates heal amount based on whether the target is a player, applies it via health:DoDelta, and optionally grants the merm_healthregenbuff debuff if the wurt_mosquito_craft_3 skill is active.
• Parameters:
  • target (Entity) — The entity being healed.
  • doer (Entity, optional) — The entity that used the item.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: Returns early if target.components.health is nil. Only applies heal if target.components.health.canheal is true.

Events & listeners

• Pushes: healthdelta — emitted by target.components.health:DoDelta when heal is applied.
• Debuff applied: merm_healthregenbuff — added via target:AddDebuff("merm_healthregenbuff", "merm_healthregenbuff") if wurt_mosquito_craft_3 skill is activated and doer is provided.
