Sewing Tape

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-07

Overview​

sewing_tape is a consumable inventory item that serves as a reusable repair tool for boats. When used via the sewing UI, it applies a fixed repair amount to a boat and triggers a repair event on the user. It leverages the boatpatch, stackable, and sewing components to integrate into the game’s crafting and repair systems. It is tagged as both tape and boat_patch for identification and interaction filtering.

Usage example​

local tape = SpawnPrefab("sewing_tape")
tape.components.stackable:SetSize(5)  -- stack up to 5
tape.components.sewing: SewOn(tape, boat_inst, player_inst)
-- The `onsewn` callback fires, and `player_inst` receives a "repair" event

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: boatpatch, stackable, sewing, inspectable, inventoryitem, hauntable_launch
Tags: Adds tape, boat_patch; no dynamic tag modifications occur.

Properties​

No public properties are defined directly in the constructor. Property customization occurs via component assignments (e.g., inst.components.boatpatch.patch_type = "tape").

Main functions​

Not applicable — this is a prefab, not a component. All behavior is handled by attached components (boatpatch, sewing, etc.).

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None directly in this file.
  • Pushes: None directly in this file.
    • However, via inst.components.sewing.onsewn = onsewn, when SewOn is called on the sewing component, it triggers the onsewn callback, which internally calls doer:PushEvent("repair").
  • Note: The onsewn callback (defined in this file) triggers a "repair" event on the entity performing the sewing (doer), but this event is not registered or handled within this file itself.
