Quagmire Swampigelder

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

Overview

quagmire_swampigelder is a prefab definition file that creates the Elder Swamp Pig NPC used in the Quagmire biome. It configures the entity’s visual assets (bank/build, animation), physics properties, minimap display, and talker component settings (e.g., font, size, offset). The prefab also sets the prototyper and character tags and assigns a specific Quagmire recipe tab (QUAGMIRE_TRADER_ELDER) for its shop interface.

Usage example

This is a standard prefab file and is not instantiated directly by modders. It is referenced internally as:

-- Example internal usage by DST engine when spawning the prefab
inst = Prefab("quagmire_swampigelder", fn, assets, prefabs)

Modders typically do not interact with this file directly; it is loaded automatically when the Quagmire Elder Swamp Pig is spawned in the world.

Dependencies & tags

Components used:

• transform, animstate, soundemitter, minimapentity, network (via entity:AddXXX())
• talker (added via inst:AddComponent("talker"))

Tags added:

• prototyper
• character

Properties

Main functions

fn()

• Description: Constructor function for the quagmire_swampigelder prefab. Initializes the entity with all necessary components, animations, physics, tags, and talker settings. Executes common setup for both client and server, with server-specific initialization via master_postinit.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: inst (Entity) — the fully initialized entity instance.
• Error states: Returns early on the client (non-master simulation) after basic setup; full initialization only completes on the master simulation.

Events & listeners

None identified in this file.

The talker component’s internal listener (OnChatterDirty) is registered by MakeChatter(), but that is defined in components/talker.lua and not part of this prefab’s direct event wiring.
