Sgpolly Rogers

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

Overview

SGpolly_rogers is the stategraph that governs the behavior of the Polly Rogers NPC, an avian enemy. It manages transitions between grounded idle actions (e.g., peck, caw, hop, switch), flight states (takeoff, glide, flyaway), movement (walk start, walk, walk stop), and reactive states (hit, death, electrocute). It integrates closely with the health, locomotor, floater, and inventory components, and leverages common stategraph utilities from commonstates.lua.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
-- ... setup entity and components ...
inst:AddStateGraph("polly_rogers")
-- The stategraph is automatically initialized when inst is spawned with the correct prefabs,
-- and transitions are triggered by events like "attacked", "locomote", and "flyaway".

Properties

No public properties — this is a stategraph definition file, not a component with instantiated properties.

Main functions

Not applicable — this file defines a StateGraph via return StateGraph(...), not a component with callable methods.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:

  • attacked — triggers hit state or electrocute handling
  • flyaway — initiates flyaway state if not dead
  • locomote — synchronizes movement state (walk_start, walk_stop) with locomotor flags
  • despawn — transitions to despawn state if not dead
  • animover — used in many states to detect animation completion
  • on_landed, on_no_longer_landed — sent via floater/inventoryitem components
  • Common events via CommonHandlers.OnSleep(), OnFreeze(), OnElectrocute(), OnDeath(), OnCorpseChomped(), OnCorpseDeathAnimOver()

• Pushes:

  • Events triggered internally via inst:PushEvent(...): on_landed, on_no_longer_landed, gohomefailed (via spawner)
  • locomote — pushed by locomotor:Stop() when stopping movement
  • Custom state-specific events may be fired via inst.sg:GoToState(...) and internal logic
