Sgmoondial

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

Overview​

SGmoondial defines the state graph for the Moon Dial structure, a time-related world object that changes appearance and sound based on the current moon phase. It handles animation playback, sound effects, and transitions between states such as idle, placed, hit, and glassed (after being struck during the full moon). The state graph interacts with TheWorld.state to determine moon phase and alterna-related flags, and uses LootDropper to spawn moonglass upon de-glassing.

Usage example​

This state graph is automatically attached to Moon Dial prefabs by the engine; modders typically do not instantiate it directly. To trigger state transitions, events such as "worked" (for hammering) and "onbuilt" (for placement) are pushed on the instance, which then drive state changes:

-- Example of triggering a state change programmatically (modder usage)
inst:PushEvent("worked")   -- transitions to "hit" state
inst:PushEvent("onbuilt")  -- transitions to "placed" state

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: lootdropper — used in the glassed_pst state to drop moonglass via FlingItem. Tags: Checks is_glassed property on inst; modifies inst.is_glassed in glassed_pst state.

Properties​

No public properties initialized in the constructor — state behavior is driven entirely by event handlers and inst-level flags like is_glassed.

Main functions​

No public functions are defined — the state graph is returned via StateGraph(...), and logic is encapsulated in the onenter, timeline, and events fields of each state.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: worked — transitions to "hit" state.
  • Listens to: onbuilt — transitions to "placed" state.
  • Pushes: No events — this state graph only responds to external events and internally drives state transitions.
