Sgcarnivalgame Herding Chick

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

Overview​

SGcarnivalgame_herding_chick is a state graph that defines the behavior and animation flow for a chick participating in the summer event herding minigame. It governs transitions between idle waiting, launched jumping motion, successful arrival at home, and manual shutdown states. The state graph integrates with the locomotor component to halt movement during state transitions and coordinates sound, animation, and entity erasure events.

Usage example​

-- Typically instantiated automatically for chick prefabs during the herding game:
local chick = SpawnPrefab("carnivalgame_herding_chick")
-- State transitions are triggered externally:
chick.sg:GoToState("launched")  -- when the player launches the chick
chick.sg:GoToState("arived_home") -- when chick reaches destination (via event)
chick.sg:GoToState("turn_off")   -- when game ends or chick goes off-screen

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: locomotor (used to stop movement via StopMoving()) Tags: Adds state tags idle, busy, jumping, and death depending on the active state.
