Sgcritter Perdling

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

Overview​

SGcritter_perdling is a stategraph that defines the complete animation and behavior logic for the Perdling critter in DST. It inherits foundational state definitions from SGcritter_common.lua and commonstates.lua, extending them with critter-specific emotes (e.g., wingflap, nuzzle, distress), locomotion states (walk, hop, sink), sleep sequences, and interaction handlers (e.g., eating, play, combat). This file constructs the full finite state machine (FSM) for the Perdling entity’s visual and audible responses to game events.

Usage example​

This stategraph is not instantiated directly by modders. Instead, it is automatically assigned to Perdling prefabs via the engine's stategraph system, typically set in the entity’s master_postinit or stategraph configuration.

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None directly referenced (relies on core engine and shared critter stategraph utilities).
Tags: None identified.

Properties​

No public properties.

Main functions​

Not applicable — this file returns a StateGraph definition, not a component with standalone functions.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:

    • SGCritterEvents.OnEat
    • SGCritterEvents.OnAvoidCombat
    • SGCritterEvents.OnTraitChanged
    • CommonHandlers.OnSleepEx
    • CommonHandlers.OnWakeEx
    • CommonHandlers.OnLocomote (with isHopping=true, isSwimming=false)
    • CommonHandlers.OnHop
    • CommonHandlers.OnSink
    • CommonHandlers.OnFallInVoid

  • Pushes: None — this stategraph consumes events and transitions between states, but does not define or dispatch custom events itself.
