Wagpunk Workstation

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-18

Overview

wagpunk_workstation is a stationary crafting structure used during the Wagpunk event. It functions as both a prototyper and craftingstation, allowing players to unlock and craft event-specific items. The workstation communicates with the wagpunk_arena_manager world component to track activation state. When activated, it plays looping animations and proximity sounds; when deactivated, it returns to idle state.

Usage example

-- Spawn the workstation in the world
local workstation = SpawnPrefab("wagpunk_workstation")

-- Access components after spawning
-- Note: Setting .on directly bypasses onturnon callback (animations/sounds won't play)
-- Activation is handled by player interaction with the workstation
if workstation.components.prototyper then
    -- workstation.components.prototyper.on is managed by player interaction
end

-- Check tags for identification
if workstation:HasTag("wagpunk_workstation") then
    -- Workstation is valid
end

Dependencies & tags

External dependencies:

• TUNING.PROTOTYPER_TREES.WAGPUNK_WORKSTATION -- prototype tree configuration for available recipes

Components used:

• inspectable -- allows players to examine the workstation
• craftingstation -- stores and provides access to learned blueprints
• prototyper -- enables recipe prototyping; callbacks wired to local handlers
• wagpunk_arena_manager (world component) -- notified on toggle state changes

Tags:

• prototyper -- added on creation; marks entity as a prototype source
• wagpunk_workstation -- added on creation; identifies this specific station type

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
None			No public properties are defined. This is a prefab factory, not a class.

Internal Callbacks

OnTurnOn(inst)

• Description: Called when the prototyper component is activated. Plays looping proximity animation and sound, then notifies the arena manager.
• Parameters: inst -- the workstation entity instance
• Returns: None
• Error states: None

OnTurnOff(inst)

• Description: Called when the prototyper component is deactivated. Stops idle sound, plays idle animation, and notifies the arena manager.
• Parameters: inst -- the workstation entity instance
• Returns: None
• Error states: None

FinishUseAnim(inst)

• Description: Completes the activation animation sequence. Resets the activated task and restores either looping or idle state based on prototyper status.
• Parameters: inst -- the workstation entity instance
• Returns: None
• Error states: None

OnActivate(inst)

• Description: Called when a player activates the prototyper. Plays use animation and sound, cancels any pending activation task, and schedules FinishUseAnim.
• Parameters: inst -- the workstation entity instance
• Returns: None
• Error states: None

OnLoad(inst, data)

• Description: Called when the entity loads from save. Re-learns baseline recipes for moonstorm goggles and moon device construction.
• Parameters:
  • inst -- the workstation entity instance
  • data -- saved data table (unused in current implementation)
• Returns: None
• Error states: Errors if inst.components.craftingstation is nil when OnLoad is called.

fn()

• Description: Prefab factory function. Creates the entity, adds base components and tags, configures prototyper callbacks, and returns the instance.
• Parameters: None
• Returns: Entity instance
• Error states: None

Events & listeners

• Listens to: None directly. Prototyper component callbacks (onturnon, onturnoff, onactivate) are wired to local functions.
• Pushes: None directly. The wagpunk_arena_manager:WorkstationToggled() is called but not via PushEvent.
