Waveyjones

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

Overview​

waveyjones.lua defines the core prefabs and initialization logic for Wavey Jones, a boss creature in the Dangerous Sea event. It includes five interdependent prefabs: waveyjones (the main entity), waveyjones_arm, waveyjones_hand, waveyjones_hand_art, and waveyjones_marker. The component orchestrates the spawning of arms and hands, handles player proximity detection, triggers scare/relocate behavior, manages respawn timers, and coordinates animation and sound events. It relies heavily on entitytracker, updatelooper, playerprox, sanityaura, and timer components.

Usage example​

-- Wavey Jones is automatically spawned as part of the Dangerous Sea event via waveyjones_marker
-- The marker is created by the game when the event starts; no direct prefab usage is required.
-- Example manual usage (not part of official flow):
local marker = SpawnPrefab("waveyjones_marker")
marker.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
marker.components.entitytracker:TrackEntity("boat", boat)
