Kitcoonfood

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

Overview

Kitcoonfood is a UI widget that provides an interactive visual representation of the Kitcoon's food supply. It displays a floating animation of the food item and responds to user input (typically Accept control or click) to queue and execute feeding actions via the associated kit object. It extends the base Widget class and integrates with DST's UI animation and sound systems.

Usage example

local kitcoonfood = KitcoonFood(kit)
-- The widget is typically added as a child to another UI container
parent:AddChild(kitcoonfood)
-- Interaction happens automatically upon user input; no manual method calls required
