Wendy Recipe Gravestone

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

Overview​

This file defines two prefabs: wendy_recipe_gravestone, a transient entity used during placement to enable ghost skeleton snapping and writing, and wendy_recipe_gravestone_placer, a placer helper used to control snapping behavior. The wendy_recipe_gravestone entity coordinates with the writeable, inspectable, and placer components to accept player input, allow epitaph inscription, snap to nearby ghost skeletons, and convert into the final gravestone prefab upon writing completion.

Usage example​

-- Place the gravestone at a location with valid snapping targets (skeletons)
local inst = SpawnPrefab("wendy_recipe_gravestone")
-- Writing completes the transition to gravestone automatically
-- The placer variant is used internally via MakePlacer()

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: writeable, placer, inspectable, animstate, transform, soundemitter (indirect via gravestone spawn), network Tags added: NOCLICK, CLASSIFIED (on mound placer), placer (on mound), _writeable (temporary, removed after replication) Tags checked: skeleton, skeleton_standin

Properties​

No public properties are defined on the wendy_recipe_gravestone entity itself. Internal state (_accept_placement, _mound) is used by the placer variant.

Main functions​

OnProxyBuilt(inst, data)​

  • Description: Callback triggered when the entity is built in the world (typically via the placer). Validates builder presence and starts the writing interaction.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity), data (table containing builder — a player entity). If data.builder is missing, removes the entity.
  • Returns: Nothing.

OnWritingEnded(inst)​

  • Description: Called when the player finishes writing on the gravestone. Handles snapping to nearby skeletons, removing them, spawning the visual attune_out_fx, creating the final gravestone prefab, setting epitaph text (if any), and deleting itself.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity).
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Early exit if writeable component is missing.

wendy_recipe_gravestone_fn()​

  • Description: The constructor for the wendy_recipe_gravestone entity. Sets up core entities and components, enables writeable mode, and registers the onbuilt event listener.
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: Entity with writeable, placer (indirect), inspectable (added on master), and networked transform/animstate. Runs differently on master vs client.

wendy_placer_onupdatetransform(inst)​

  • Description: Custom transform update callback for the placer variant. Snaps the placer to the nearest skeleton or skeleton_standin within WENDY_PLACER_SNAP_DISTANCE.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — the placer instance.
  • Returns: Nothing. Updates _accept_placement flag and entity position.

wendy_placer_override_testfn(inst)​

  • Description: Overrides the default placer testfn to honor the snapped position, ensuring mouse-based placement respects ghost snapping behavior.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity).
  • Returns: accept_placement (boolean), mouse_blocked (boolean).

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: onbuilt — triggers OnProxyBuilt to initiate writing upon placement.
  • Pushes: None directly (entity is removed at end of OnWritingEnded).
