Pumpkincarver

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

Overview

pumpkincarver.lua defines the prefab factory for pumpkin carver items used during the Halloween season. Each carver is a cosmetic, stackable inventory item with unique animations (carver1, carver2, etc.) and scrapbook metadata. It is not intended for crafting or gameplay use beyond visual display and collection. The component does not define its own logic in this file — instead, the pumpkincarver component (added to each instance) is referenced, though its implementation resides elsewhere.

Usage example

-- Example of spawning a pumpkin carver (e.g., carver #2)
local carver = Prefab("pumpkincarver2")
if carver ~= nil then
    local inst = carver()
    inst.Transform:SetWorldPosition(x, y, z)
    TheWorld:SpawnPrefab(inst)
end
