Stinger

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

Overview

The stinger prefab defines a small, throwable item used in combat, typically deployed by the Bee Queen or other entities. It supports stacking via the stackable component, self-stacking via selfstacker, and integrates with DST's inventory, burn, propagator, and haunt systems. It is a client-server synchronized prefab that renders with a dedicated animation bank and build.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("stinger")
if inst then
    -- The stinger is already stackable by default in this prefab's definition
    -- Stack size is TUNING.STACK_SIZE_SMALLITEM (typically 50)
    inst.components.inventoryitem:SayYesToOwner()
    inst.components.inventoryitem:PushToSlot("inventory")
end
