Wx78 Gestalttrapper

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-28

Overview

wx78_gestalttrapper.lua registers a spawnable inventory item entity designed for WX-78 character gameplay. The prefab's fn() constructor builds the physics body, attaches animation state, and configures socketable behavior. Server-side initialization sets the socket quality to SOCKETQUALITY.LOW and attaches inspectable and inventoryitem components. The prefab is referenced by its name "wx78_gestalttrapper" and instantiated with SpawnPrefab("wx78_gestalttrapper").

Usage example

-- Spawn at world origin:
local inst = SpawnPrefab("wx78_gestalttrapper")
inst.Transform:SetPosition(0, 0, 0)

-- Reference assets at load time:
local assets = {
    Asset("ANIM", "anim/wx78_gestalttrapper.zip"),
}

-- Access socketable component on server:
if TheWorld.ismastersim then
    inst.components.socketable:SetSocketQuality(SOCKETQUALITY.LOW)
end

Main functions

fn()

• Description: Prefab constructor that runs on both client and server. Creates the entity, builds physics, attaches AnimState with bank and build, sets default idle animation, sets inst.pickupsound to "metal" for pickup sound effect, and configures socketable behavior with socket type "socket_gestalttrapper" via MakeItemSocketable_Client. Server-side logic sets socket quality and attaches gameplay components. Returns inst for framework processing.
• Parameters: None
• Returns: entity instance
• Error states: None — runs on every host (client and server) with appropriate guards.
