Sgdaywalker Imprisoned

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

Overview​

SGdaywalker_imprisoned is a stategraph that governs the behavior of a Daywalker entity that is imprisoned and bound to resonating pillars. It handles idle waiting, struggle animations against the chains, and eventual chain-breaking sequences. The state machine integrates closely with the daywalkerspawner component (to assess power level for dialogue variation) and the talker component (to trigger voice lines), and uses helper functions like CheckPillars to determine pillar status during transitions.

Usage example​

This stategraph is applied to the Daywalker entity during initialization and not directly invoked by external code. A typical integration looks like:

local inst = CreateEntity()
-- ... other setup ...
inst.sg = StateGraph("daywalker_imprisoned", TheWorld, inst, states, events, "idle")
inst:AddComponent("daywalkerspawner")
inst:AddComponent("talker")

The stategraph is returned by the file itself and attached to the entity, after which the state machine drives behavior automatically.

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: daywalkerspawner (via TheWorld.components.daywalkerspawner:GetPowerLevel()), talker (via inst.components.talker:Chatter()), and relies on helper functions like CheckPillars(), ShakeAllCameras, and CountPillars.
Tags: Adds/removes state tags such as "notalksound" (to suppress chatter during struggles), "noelectrocute" (to prevent electrocution during struggle/chain-breaking), and "NOCLICK" (to disable interaction during critical moments).

Properties​

No public properties are declared in the constructor, as this file defines only the stategraph structure via the states table and does not declare a class with instance fields.

Main functions​

This file does not define any public methods. All logic is embedded in state callbacks (onenter, ontimeout, onexit) and FrameEvent handlers. Key internal functions used are:

CheckPillars(inst)​

  • Description: Checks the number of resonating and idle pillars attached to the Daywalker. Returns two booleans indicating whether any pillar is vibrating and whether all vibrated pillars are idle.
  • Parameters: inst (entity) — the Daywalker instance.
  • Returns: any (boolean) — true if at least one pillar is vibrating; all (boolean) — true if all vibrating pillars are idle.

DoIdleChain(inst)​

  • Description: Plays a repeated chain-shake sound on a randomized timer to simulate tension during idle behavior.
  • Parameters: inst (entity).
  • Returns: Nothing. Schedules a repeating task and returns early if task already exists.

DoChainBreakShake(inst)​

  • Description: Triggers a camera shake effect during the chain-break sequence.
  • Parameters: inst (entity).
  • Returns: Nothing.

CommonStates.AddElectrocuteStates(...)​

  • Description: Extends the stategraph with predefined electrocution states (loop and post) to support electrocution events during idle or struggle states.
  • Parameters: Defines timeline frame events for chain-shake sounds and animation names (loop = "chained_shock_loop", pst = "chained_shock_pst").
  • Returns: Extends the states table in-place with electrocution states.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:

    • pillarvibrating — triggers transition to "struggle3" when any pillar vibrates.
    • animover — used across all struggle and idle states to detect animation completion and transition to next state (e.g., back to "idle" or forward to "chain_break").
    • Electrocution events (onstartelectrocute, onendelectrocute) — added by CommonStates.AddElectrocuteStates.

  • Pushes:

    • "daywalkerchainbreak" — fired during "chain_break" state upon pillar destruction and leech spawning (frame event 23).
