Pitchfork

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

Overview​

The pitchfork prefab is a multi-functional tool used for terraforming terrain and engaging in combat. It is implemented via two variant prefabs: pitchfork (standard) and goldenpitchfork (golden), with the latter offering enhanced durability and performance. The prefab integrates with several core components—including weapon, finiteuses, equippable, and terraformer—to manage wear, usage, and equipping behavior. It supports visual skin overrides and floatation via the floater component.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("pitchfork")
inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(100)
inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(20)
inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip(my_custom_equip_fn)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: finiteuses, weapon, equippable, floater, inspectable, inventoryitem, terraformer, transform, animstate, soundemitter, network
Tags: Adds "sharp" and "weapon" to the instance; "usesdepleted" may be added via finiteuses.

Properties​

No public properties are initialized directly in the constructor.

Main functions​

No public methods beyond component APIs are exposed by this prefab script.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None directly.
  • Pushes:
    • equipskinneditem (via owner:PushEvent) — fired during equip when a skin build is present, passing inst:GetSkinName() as payload.
  • Component event responses:
    • When finiteuses reaches zero (onfinished callback): calls inst.Remove (destroys the instance).
