Sgdaywalker2 Buried

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

Overview​

SGdaywalker2_buried is a state graph for the Daywalker 2 boss entity when it is in its buried state. It manages transitions between idle waiting, struggle animations, emergence attempts, and cancellation of emergence. It integrates with the entitytracker component to trigger effects on associated junk entities and uses the talker component to emit contextual dialogue when near players. The graph also supports electrocution states, which vary based on the buried level (inst.sg.mem.level), using shared utilities from commonstates.

Usage example​

This state graph is typically assigned to the Daywalker 2 entity during buried transitions by the game's AI system and is not added directly by modders.

-- Inside a prefab or stategraph handler:
inst.sg = StateGraph("daywalker2_buried", states, events, "idle")
-- The SG is initialized automatically by DST's stategraph system when the entity enters the buried state

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: entitytracker, talker Tags: The tryemerge state includes the tag "noelectrocute" to prevent accidental electrocution during emergence.

Properties​

No public properties are defined or used in this state graph. All state-specific data is stored in inst.sg.mem (e.g., level, lasttalk).

Main functions​

GetLevelAnim(inst, anim)​

  • Description: Appends a suffix to an animation name based on the buried level (inst.sg.mem.level). Level 2 uses _small, otherwise _full.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – the entity whose animation state is being controlled.
    • anim (string) – base animation name (e.g., "buried").
  • Returns: (string) the full animation name with level-specific suffix.

PlayAnimation(inst, anim, loop)​

  • Description: Plays an animation on the main entity and all associated junkfx entities. The animation name is resolved using GetLevelAnim.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – the entity playing the animation.
    • anim (string) – base animation name.
    • loop (boolean) – whether the animation should loop.
  • Returns: Nothing.

PushAnimation(inst, anim, loop)​

  • Description: Pushes an animation onto the queue for the main entity and all junkfx entities, using level-specific suffix resolution.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – the entity pushing the animation.
    • anim (string) – base animation name.
    • loop (boolean) – whether the animation should loop.
  • Returns: Nothing.

TryElectrocuteShakeJunk(inst)​

  • Description: Shakes the associated junk entity (retrieved via entitytracker) upon electrocution frame events.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – the buried entity.
  • Returns: Nothing.

TryElectrocuteShakeJunk2(inst)​

  • Description: Calls TryElectrocuteShakeJunk only if the buried level is 2. Used to conditionally trigger effects in higher-level electrocution states.
  • Parameters:
    • inst (entity instance) – the buried entity.
  • Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:

    • animover (in struggle, cancelemerge states) – transitions back to "idle" when animation completes.
    • OnElectrocute events (via CommonStates.AddElectrocuteStates) – handled in shared electrocution logic, triggers junk shaking based on level.

  • Pushes:

    • "shake" event to the junk entity (via inst.components.entitytracker:GetEntity("junk")) during struggle timeline (frame 26) and electrocution events.

(None of the above are user-facing event handlers; all are internal state machine transitions or callbacks.)
