Sgshadow Rook

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

Overview

SGshadow_rook defines the state graph for the Shadow Rook boss entity in DST's Shadow Chess minigame. It extends shared chess piece states (idle, hit, death, etc.) from SGshadow_chesspieces.lua and implements a specialized two-stage attack sequence: a teleport approach followed by a localized area-of-effect attack. The state graph coordinates combat, health invincibility windows, animation timelines, and event-driven transitions to manage boss behavior during encounters.

Usage example

This state graph is automatically assigned as the StateGraph for the Shadow Rook prefab (e.g., via inst:AddStateGraph("shadow_rook")). Modders typically do not instantiate or interact with it directly. The behavior is triggered internally when the boss transitions to its attack state with a valid target.

Dependencies & tags

Components used: combat, health, physics, animstate
Tags:

• Added: attack, busy, noattack (applied and removed during attack sequences)
• Referenced exclusions: INLIMBO, notarget, invisible, noattack, flight, playerghost, shadow, shadowchesspiece, shadowcreature

Properties

No public properties. All state-specific behavior is handled via stategraph internals (inst.sg.statemem, timelines, and event handlers).

Main functions

No top-level functions. Behavior is defined entirely by state handlers in the states table. Key internal behaviors are realized via component method calls during state transitions and timelines.

Events & listeners

• Listens to:
  • animqueueover (state-specific): Triggers state transitions upon animation completion (e.g., attack → attack_teleport).
• Pushes:
  • invincibletoggle (via health:SetInvincible()): Fired when invincibility is toggled (set to true during teleport/attack and false afterward).
  • onareaattackother (via combat:DoAreaAttack()): Fired for each entity hit during the area attack.
  • Standard Shadow Chess events (e.g., taunt, transform) are inherited from ShadowChess.CommonEventList.
