Bedazzlement

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

Overview

The Bedazzlement component controls the transformation and ongoing effects of a spider den when it enters a "bedazzled" state — typically triggered by specific interactions in the Spider Den event or related content. It modifies visual appearance, sound, creep behavior, and pacifies nearby spiders. It also integrates with the growable component to pause or resume growth depending on state.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("bedazzlement")
inst:AddComponent("growable")
-- After setup, trigger bedazzlement:
inst.components.bedazzlement:Start()
-- Later, revert:
inst.components.bedazzlement:Stop()

Main functions

Start()

• Description: Activates the bedazzled state for the entity. It adds the bedazzled tag, shows a visual flare, plays bedazzled animations and sound, stops growth via the growable component, updates the minimap icon, sets bedazzled creep radius, and starts the pacification task.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: Returns early without effect if the entity already has the bedazzled tag.

Stop()

• Description: Reverts the bedazzled state. Removes the bedazzled tag, hides the visual flare, restores original animations and minimap icon, resumes growth (via growable:StartGrowing()), resets creep radius, and cancels the pacification task.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states: Returns early without effect if the entity does not have the bedazzled tag.

PacifySpiders()

• Description: Finds nearby valid spiders within a radius dependent on the den’s tier and applies the bedazzle_buff debuff to them. Den tier is capped at 3 for radius calculation.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: Nothing.

OnSave()

• Description: Serializes component state for saving. Returns a data table containing whether the entity is currently bedazzled.
• Parameters: None.
• Returns: table — Contains { bedazzled = true } if the entity is bedazzled; otherwise an empty table.

OnLoad(data)

• Description: Restores component state on load. If saved data indicates bedazzled = true, re-applies the bedazzled state via a delayed Start() call.
• Parameters: data (table) — Saved data from OnSave().
• Returns: Nothing.
