Packloot Nightmare

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

Overview​

packloot_nightmare is a scenario script that defines the loot distribution for a chest when it is instantiated. It uses chestfunctions.AddChestItems to populate the chest with a fixed base set of items (cutgrass, log, and minerhat_blueprint) and appends one randomly selected set from a list of two chance-based loot sets (gunpowder/firestaff bundle or fishingrod_blueprint). This file is designed to be invoked during chest creation in the context of a specific game scenario, likely tied to Nightmare-themed events or biomes.

Usage example​

-- Typically invoked by the scenario system during chest creation:
-- inst is the chest entity, scenariorunner is the scenario controller.

local packloot_nightmare = require("scenarios/packloot_nightmare")
packloot_nightmare.OnCreate(inst, scenariorunner)

Main functions​

OnCreate(inst, scenariorunner)​

  • Description: Populates the given chest entity (inst) with predefined loot. It always adds a base set of grass, logs, and a miner hat blueprint, then appends one of two randomized loot sets (each containing either gunpowder/firestaff or a fishing rod blueprint).
  • Parameters:
    inst (Entity) — the chest entity to populate with loot.
    scenariorunner (Entity or nil) — the scenario controller instance (currently unused in the function body).
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Relies on math.random and chestfunctions.AddChestItems; failures would arise only if the chest is invalid or chestfunctions is missing.
