Speech Wolfgang

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

Overview

This file defines a static dictionary of localized dialogue strings used by the player character Wolfgang during various gameplay events (e.g., using specific food items, encountering certain entities, or reacting to game actions). It contributes to the speech system's global dictionary by populating Wolfgang's unique set of response strings, identified by keys such as "KABOBS", "KILLERBEE", "MANDRAKE", and others. The component itself is not an ECS component but a configuration/data module that seeds the broader speech infrastructure.

Usage example

The file is loaded during game initialization as part of the character speech configuration. An example of how it integrates is shown below (pseudo-code, not from the file itself):

-- In speech.lua or character init logic
if GLOBAL.Speech ~= nil then
    GLOBAL.Speech.WOLFGANG = require "speech_wolfgang"
end
-- Later, when Wolfgang uses a KABOBS item:
if inst.sg.currentstate.name == "EAT" and inst.components.eater.foodname == "kabobs" then
    inst:PushEvent("speak", { speechkey = "KABOBS" })
end
