Pocketwatch Parts

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

Overview

pocketwatch_parts is a prefabricated item entity that behaves like a small, tickable collectible. It displays idle animations and emits looping and one-shot sound effects when placed on the ground or held in inventory. The entity is not a standalone component but a full prefab definition, meaning it is a complete entity template—typically added to the world via crafting or world generation. It integrates with core systems like inventoryitem, stackable, bait, and inspectable when present in the world.

Usage example

While this is a prefab (not a component), modders can reference it in their own prefabs like so:

local THEPREFAB = Prefab("myprefab", fn)

-- Example of spawning pocketwatch_parts programmatically
TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_giveitem", { item = "pocketwatch_parts" })

Alternatively, it can be referenced in prefabs that use it as loot or bait:

-- In a loot table or custom function
local part = SpawnPrefab("pocketwatch_parts")
part.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: inventoryitem, stackable, inspectable, bait, hauntablelaunch
Tags: Adds molebait, cattoy

Properties

No public properties are exposed or documented in this prefab. All internal state (e.g., beattask) is managed privately.

Main functions

This file does not define a component class and thus has no public methods. The fn() function is the prefab constructor and is not intended for direct use by modders.

Events & listeners

• Listens to: ms_entitywake — via inst.OnEntityWake = OnEntityWake, which triggers sound and animation resumption when the entity wakes.
• Pushes: None directly. Event callbacks (ondropped, onpickup, OnEntityWake, OnEntitySleep) manage state internally.
