Fishingnet

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

Overview​

FishingNet is a lightweight component responsible for initiating the casting animation and logic of a fishing net. When triggered, it spawns the fishingnetvisualizer prefab and delegates the visual setup to its fishingnetvisualizer component via BeginCast. This component itself contains no state or logic beyond spawning and storing the visualizer reference.

Usage example​

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("fishingnet")
-- Cast the net toward position (10, 0, -5) from the doer entity
inst.components.fishingnet:CastNet(10, -5, doer)
