Sgmermking

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

Overview

SGmermking is a StateGraph definition for the Merm King entity, governing its behavioral states and animation sequences. It defines the complete state machine for actions like idle movement, eating, trading, calling guards, and item equipping (trident, crown, pauldron). It integrates with CommonStates to provide standard combat, electrocution, death, and corpse handling, as well as custom animation timelines and sound events.

Usage example

-- This StateGraph is instantiated and assigned to the Merm King prefab via its .lua file:
-- inst.stategraph = "SGmermking"
-- The StateGraph itself is not manually added as a component; it is the core AI container.
-- State transitions occur internally via inst.sg:GoToState("state_name")
-- Custom logic such as inst:TradeItem() or inst.CallGuards(inst) are methods on the Merm King entity.

Dependencies & tags

Components used: locomotor (checked and used to stop movement in refuse state) Tags: idle, busy, calling_guards — applied via state tags. Also inherits tags from common states (e.g., incombat, dead, deadbody, corpse).

Properties

No public properties.

Main functions

This is a StateGraph definition, not a component class, and does not define public methods. State transitions are handled internally by the StateGraph engine via inst.sg:GoToState().

Events & listeners

• Listens to:
  • oncreated → transitions to oncreated state
  • call_guards → transitions to call_guards state
  • Standard locomotion (on locomote)
  • onsleep, onelectrocute, onattacked, ondeath, oncorpsechomped
  • animqueueover (within eat)
  • animover (within oncreated, trade, call_guards, refuse)
• Pushes: None — does not fire custom events. Relies on built-in animation and common state events.
