Sglightninggoat

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

Overview​

SGlightninggoat is the state graph that orchestrates the Lightning Goat's behavior through a sequence of animation and event-driven states. It integrates with the health, locomotor, and combat components to manage movement (idle, walk, walk_stop), charged and uncharged taunts (taunt), discharge transitions (discharge), and shock responses (shocked, electrocute). The graph inherits common behaviors (e.g., sleep, freeze, death) via CommonStates helpers and supports charged-sound feedback (jacobshorn) and lightning-based attacks (electric tag) when inst.charged is true.

Usage example​

This state graph is automatically assigned by the game engine when the lightninggoat prefab is instantiated and its stategraph is registered. Modders typically do not instantiate it directly but may extend or override states via CommonStates helpers or by patching the returned stategraph.

-- Not typically used directly. For reference, the stategraph is registered as:
-- StateGraph("lightninggoat", states, events, "init")
-- And used internally by prefabs such as "lightninggoat".

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: health, locomotor, combat
Tags added by states: idle, canrotate, moving, busy, attack (added/removed via CommonStates.AddCombatStates)
Tags checked: None explicitly, though busy is checked during hit reaction via inst.sg:HasStateTag("busy").

Properties​

No public properties. The stategraph operates on inst fields and inst.sg metadata (statemem, state tags) for state-specific data.

Main functions​

Not applicable. This file defines a StateGraph via CommonStates helpers and returns it. It does not export custom functional methods.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:
    • animover, animqueueover, attacked, corpsechomped (via CommonHandlers.OnCorpseChomped)
    • Various common handlers: OnLocomote, OnSleep, OnFreeze, OnAttack, OnDeath
  • Pushes: None directly (events are handled internally via state transitions); inherits Combat state events from CommonStates.AddCombatStates (e.g., attackEnded, deathEnded).
