Sgcritter Eyeofterror

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

Overview​

SGcritter_eyeofterror is a state graph that controls the behavior and animations of the Eye of Terror critter entity. It extends reusable critter states (from SGcritter_common.lua) and defines custom state transitions, emotes, and sound effects specific to this creature. Notably, it manages flight mechanics by dynamically adding/removing the flying tag during specific animations (e.g., emotes, eating, nuzzling) and fires on_landed/on_no_longer_landed events accordingly.

Usage example​

This state graph is automatically applied to the Eye of Terror prefab and is not typically added directly by mods. A modder would reference it if extending or overriding critter behavior.

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: soundemitter (for playing sounds via inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound(...)). Tags: Adds/Removes flying; fires on_landed and on_no_longer_landed events during animation timelines.
