Sgeyeofterror Mini

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

Overview​

SGeyeofterror_mini defines the state machine for the Mini Eye of Terror entity, a flying boss-like enemy in DST. It orchestrates behavior such as idle movement, attacking, taunting, eating, and death through a series of named states and transitions. The stategraph integrates with the locomotor component to manage movement and the combat component for attack execution. Key behaviors include controlling the entity’s flying state (via flying tag) during lifecycle events like death and eating.

Usage example​

This stategraph is instantiated automatically for the appropriate prefab (eyeofterror_mini) by the engine and does not require manual instantiation. Modders typically interact with it via:

  • Calling inst.sg:GoToState("state_name") to force state changes.
  • Registering custom event handlers in the events table.
  • Modifying behavior by overriding states or timelines (e.g., appear_timeline, death timeline) via CommonStates extensions.

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: locomotor, combat
Tags added/removed:

  • Adds/removed flying tag during states like death and eat (via lower_flying_creature / raise_flying_creature).
  • States add tags: idle, canrotate, busy, attack, charge.
  • Stategraph name: "eyeofterror_mini".

Properties​

No public properties.

Main functions​

No custom public functions; state behavior is defined via state table entries (onenter, onexit, timeline, events). The module exports a StateGraph instance, which is consumed by the engine.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:
    • animover (go to idle)
    • animqueueover (transition based on randomness or success flag; to taunt or idle)
    • Sleep/wake/freeze/electrocute events (via CommonHandlers)
    • Death-related events (CommonHandlers.OnCorpseDeathAnimOver, etc.)
    • Locomotion events (CommonHandlers.OnLocomote)
    • Attack/attacked/death events (CommonHandlers.OnAttack, etc.)
  • Pushes:
    • on_landed (when lower_flying_creature is called)
    • on_no_longer_landed (when raise_flying_creature is called)
    • Standard combat/locomotion/death events handled via CommonHandlers.
