Quagmire Network

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

Overview​

quagmire_network is a special-purpose entity instantiated as TheWorld.net that acts as the dedicated server-side anchor for the Quagmire world. It manages Quagmire-specific systems (music, recipe pricing, hangriness), coordinates the character selection lobby, and ensures proper initialization sequencing via PostInit callbacks. This entity does not persist and is never simulated by clients — it exists only on the master simulation.

Usage example​

-- Internal framework usage only; not meant for mod addition to arbitrary entities.
-- The network entity is created automatically by the world loader:
local network_entity = TheWorld.net
assert(network_entity.components.quagmire_recipebook ~= nil)

Main functions​

PostInit(inst)​

  • Description: Runs after the world entity is fully constructed and attached to TheWorld.net. It triggers a long update, flushes network dirty variables, and invokes OnPostInit() on every attached component.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity instance) — the network entity itself.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnRemoveEntity(inst)​

  • Description: Ensures proper cleanup when the network entity is destroyed. Verifies TheWorld.net matches the instance and clears the reference.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity instance) — the network entity being removed.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Asserts that TheWorld.net == inst; fails hard if this invariant is violated.

DoPostInit(inst)​

  • Description: Deferred initialization routine executed immediately after world load. On non-master clients, it triggers a client-side TheWorld:PostInit() if the world is active. It also sends a resume request to the server (if not dedicated) and starts PlayerHistory listening.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity instance) — the network entity.
  • Returns: Nothing.
