Chest Presummer

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-08

Overview​

chest_presummer is a scenario script responsible for defining and populating loot contents for a specific chest used during the Presummer event. It does not define a component itself but rather exports a OnCreate callback function that is invoked when the associated chest entity is created. The loot configuration is declarative and uses chestfunctions.AddChestItems to apply the items to the chest instance.

Usage example​

This script is not intended for direct usage by modders. It is automatically loaded and executed by the DST scenario system when a Presummer event chest is instantiated. A modder would reference it indirectly via scenario configuration:

-- Pseudo-example: How the scenario system might use this script
local chest_presummer = require("scenarios/chest_presummer")
chest_presummer.OnCreate(chest_instance, scenario_runner_instance)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None directly accessed via inst.components.X; relies on chestfunctions.AddChestItems (from scenarios/chestfunctions.lua) to modify the chest. Tags: None identified.

Properties​

No public properties.
