Sgbeefalo

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

Overview​

SGBeefalo defines the stategraph for beefalo entities (including baby beefalo), governing their behavior transitions such as idle animation loops, movement, grazing, mating calls, attacks, and stage-specific transitions (e.g., hair growth, domestication, death). It integrates closely with the ECS by responding to events and driving animations, locomotion, and component interactions via inst.sg:GoToState() and event callbacks. The stategraph also coordinates with CommonStates helpers to standardize shared behaviors (e.g., sleep, electrocution, drowning).

Usage example​

-- Typically attached via the stategraph system, not manually instantiated.
-- Example usage in a prefab file:
inst:AddComponent("health")
inst:AddComponent("locomotor")
inst:AddComponent("combat")
-- ... other components ...

-- The stategraph is assigned in the prefab definition via:
return StateGraph("beefalo", states, events, "init", actionhandlers)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: health, locomotor, combat, rideable, domesticatable, hunger, growable, beard, brushable, burnable, freezable, drownable, follower, sleeper, yotb_stagemanager, beefalometrics

Tags added/removed: idle, busy, canrotate, attack, moving, running, sleeping, nointerrupt, deadcreature, give_dolongaction, has_beard — conditionally via AddTag()/RemoveTag() during state transitions.

Properties​

No public properties are defined in the constructor; all state-specific data is stored on inst.sg.statemem.

Main functions​

No direct methods are exported by SGBeefalo; it is a pure stategraph definition returned by StateGraph(...). State transitions are invoked internally via event handlers or timeouts, not public API methods.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: onsink, doattack, death, attacked, heardhorn, loseloyalty, eat, refusedrider, brushed, carratboarded, unhitch, hitch, despawn, plus all common state helpers (OnStep, OnLocomote, OnSleepEx, OnWakeEx, OnFreeze, OnElectrocute, OnIpecacPoop, OnNoSleepFrameEvent, OnNoSleepAnimOver).
  • Pushes: Events are not directly pushed by SGBeefalo; it responds to events and drives animations. State-specific behavior may trigger component events (e.g., saddlechanged, onwakeup, unfreeze), but those originate in component callbacks.
