Statuemaxwell

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

Overview​

statuemaxwell is a prefab script defining a decorative statue of Maxwell that functions as a mineable object in the game. It uses the workable and lootdropper components to support mining interactions and item drops upon destruction. It includes special logic to trigger unique states (charlies_work, charlie_test) that alter its appearance via animation overrides and occasionally pre-damage the statue during initial placement.

Usage example​

local inst = SpawnPrefab("statuemaxwell")
inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
-- After mining, the statue drops loot and emits FX
-- Optional: charlies_work and charlie_test flags may be set automatically on placement

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: lootdropper, inspectable, workable, burnable, hauntable, fueled (via MakeRoseTarget_CreateFuel), obstacle (via MakeObstaclePhysics) Tags: Adds maxwell and statue; checks for burnt internally via burnable and fueled components.

Properties​

PropertyTypeDefault ValueDescription
charlie_testbooleanfalseFlag indicating whether the Charlie-related initialization test has run.
charlies_workbooleanfalseFlag indicating whether Charlie has modified the statue (adds vine override and may reduce work left).

Main functions​

OnWork(inst, worker, workleft)​

  • Description: Callback executed whenever the statue is mined. Handles visual feedback, particle effects, loot drops, and removal upon completion. Triggers a world event (ms_unlockchesspiece) when destroyed.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the statue instance; worker (entity) — entity performing the mine action; workleft (number) — remaining work needed to fully mine the statue.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: If workleft <= 0, the statue is destroyed; if animation thresholds are crossed, correct idle animations are queued.

doCharlieTest(inst)​

  • Description: Runs once on placement (via DoTaskInTime), with 50% chance of triggering Charlie’s effect: sets charlies_work, adds vine animation override, and with 50% chance further pre-damages the statue.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the statue instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

invokecharliesanger(inst)​

  • Description: Applies the "statue_maxwell_vine_build" override animation to the statue’sAnimState.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the statue instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnSave(inst, data)​

  • Description: Serializes charlies_work and charlie_test flags for world save persistence.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the statue instance; data (table) — save data table.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnLoad(inst, data)​

  • Description: Restores charlie_test and charlies_work flags and re-applies vine override if needed.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the statue instance; data (table) — loaded save data.
  • Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None directly (uses callback-based workable hook).
  • Pushes: ms_unlockchesspiece with argument "formal" when the statue is fully mined and destroyed.
