Speech Wathgrithr

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-10

Overview

The speech_wathgrithr.lua file defines a table of dialogue strings specific to the Wathgrithr character. It contains hardcoded string constants used for contextual speech triggers, including responses to natural phenomena (e.g., entering caves, encountering beefalos), structures (e.g., sculptures), and objects (e.g., cracked tallbird eggs). This file does not implement logic, events, or behaviors; it serves solely as a localized speech data source consumed elsewhere in the codebase.

Usage example

local speech = require "speech_wathgrithr"
-- Use in speech engine context (e.g., in a speech-related component or logic handler)
if inst:HasTag("cave") then
    local line = speech.CAVE_ENTRANCE
    -- line is then passed to a speaker component for playback
end
