Sgboat Ice

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

Overview

SGboat_ice defines the state machine for an ice-based boat entity in Don't Starve Together. It orchestrates transitions through states including place, idle, ready_to_snap, snapping, and popping, responding to health changes and death events. When the boat dies, it notifies entities on its platform, triggers sound and FX events during a prolonged sinking sequence, and finally removes the entity.

The stategraph leverages the health component to detect when the boat is destroyed (via IsDead()), and uses walkableplatform to access entities and players resting on it for boarding/disembarking logic during sinking.

Usage example

-- Stategraph is automatically instantiated by the game engine for any entity with the matching StateGraph name ("boat_ice").
-- Modders should attach this stategraph to their entity prefab via:
inst:AddStateGraph("boat_ice")
-- and ensure the entity has the following:
--   - health component
--   - walkableplatform component
--   - anim component for animations ("place", "idle1", "idle2", "idle3", "cracked0", "cracked1")

Dependencies & tags

Components used: health, walkableplatform Tags: dead is added during ready_to_snap and snapping states.

Properties

No public properties.

Main functions

Not applicable — this is a StateGraph definition, not a component with user-callable methods. The state machine is driven internally by the game engine and event handlers.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:
  • animover (in place and snapping states) — triggers state transition after animation completes.
  • healthdelta (in idle state) — triggers cracked animation updates when health changes.
  • death (in idle state) — initiates sinking sequence (ready_to_snap).
• Pushes: None — this stategraph does not fire custom events.
