Shieldofterror

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

Overview​

Shieldofterror is a hybrid inventory item prefab that combines shield, weapon, and food functionality. It is equipped by the player, used in combat (where it takes damage), and consumed (where it repairs its own armor condition based on nutritional values). It integrates with multiple systems: armor, weapon, eater, equippable, and shadowlevel, and is designed for characters who benefit from renewable or self-sustaining gear.

Usage example​

-- Typically instantiated as a prefab via `SpawnPrefab("shieldofterror")`
-- No direct component-level usage; it is a fully self-contained prefab definition.
-- The component configuration is handled internally during prefab instantiation.

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: eater, weapon, armor, equippable, inspectable, inventoryitem, shadowlevel
Tags added: handfed, fedbyall, toolpunch, eatsrawmeat, strongstomach, weapon, shadowlevel

Properties​

No public properties. All internal state is encapsulated within components and the local function scope.

Main functions​

Not applicable. This is a prefab definition, not a standalone component.
