Walkingplank

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

Overview​

walkingplank is a prefab generator function that creates floating wooden platforms used as boat extensions in DST. Each instance is associated with a boat via entity hierarchy and serves as a deployable walkable surface. It supports hauntable mechanics (used by Wickerbeast attacks), loot dropping (via uncraftable recipes), and visual fidelity through build-specific animations. The component itself does not define logic directly in the source—its functionality is handled by the attached walkingplank component (referenced only via tag in code) and the hauntable component.

Usage example​

-- Typical usage occurs internally when a boat is placed and walking planks are spawned:
-- No direct modder interaction required.
-- Example of hauntable usage:
if inst.components.hauntable then
    inst.components.hauntable:SetHauntValue(TUNING.HAUNT_TINY)
end
