Sgshadow Leech

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

Overview

SGshadow_leech is a stategraph component that implements the behavioral state machine for the shadow leech entity. It manages transitions between states such as idle, spawn, jump, attached, death, and flung, coordinating animations, physics, sounds, and interaction with the target (typically the Daywalker). The stategraph interacts with several components including locomotor, health, entitytracker, and lootdropper, and uses common state helpers for run/walk states.

Usage example

This stategraph is assigned to a shadow leech entity instance during its creation, typically via the StateGraph constructor. Modders do not usually instantiate it manually; instead, it is used internally by the game for the shadow_leech prefab.

-- Not typically used directly by modders.
-- The stategraph is automatically applied when the entity is constructed as:
-- return Class(function(inst)
--     inst:AddComponent("entitytracker")
--     inst:AddComponent("health")
--     inst:AddComponent("locomotor")
--     inst:AddComponent("lootdropper")
--     inst.sg = StateGraph("shadow_leech", ...)
--     ...
-- end)

Main functions

This is a StateGraph definition, not a component. There are no callable methods directly defined in this file. State behavior is implemented via onenter, onexit, onupdate, and ontimeout handlers for each state.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:

  • locomote – handled by CommonHandlers.OnLocomote (imported from commonstates)
  • jump – triggers jump_pre state if not busy
  • attacked – triggers hit state if not invulnerable or dead
  • death – triggers death state
  • animover – handled per-state to transition after animation completion

• Pushes:

  • No events are explicitly pushed by this stategraph itself.
