Packloot Winter Start Medium

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

Overview​

packloot_winter_start_medium is a scenario initializer that populates a chest entity with a predefined loot table. It defines two sets of items: a base loot array with fixed contents and variable counts, and a chanceloot array containing eight distinct loot sets, one of which is randomly selected and added at runtime. This script is used to configure starting loot for winter scenarios with medium difficulty and is invoked via its exported OnCreate function when a chest is created.

The component relies exclusively on chestfunctions.AddChestItems, meaning it does not manage components or tags directly.

Usage example​

local chest = CreateEntity()
chest:AddTag("loot")
chest:AddTag("chest")
chest:AddTag("loot_lootable")
chest:AddComponent("loot")
chest:AddComponent("inventory")
chest:AddComponent("lootdrop")

-- Later, during scenario initialization:
local packloot_winter_start_medium = require("scenarios/packloot_winter_start_medium")
packloot_winter_start_medium.OnCreate(chest, scenario_runner_instance)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None directly. Uses chestfunctions.AddChestItems, which internally expects the target inst to have loot, inventory, and lootdrop components.
Tags: None added or checked. Assumes caller has already added appropriate tags (loot, chest, loot_lootable, etc.).

Properties​

No public properties.

  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – The chest entity to populate with loot. Must have loot and inventory components.
    • scenariorunner (ScenarioRunner instance) – The scenario runner instance; currently unused in this implementation.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None documented; failure may occur if inst lacks required components (loot, inventory, lootdrop), though this is handled by chestfunctions.AddChestItems.
