Socket Shadow Mimicry

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-28

Overview

Socket_Shadow_Mimicry is a specialized component that spawns and manages a shadow mimic spawner entity for WX-78 backup body prefabs. It attaches the spawner as a child entity and handles cleanup when the component is removed from its parent. This component is prefab-specific and only activates for wx78_backupbody entities.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("socket_shadow_mimicry")
-- Component automatically spawns wx78_mimicspawner if inst.prefab == "wx78_backupbody"
-- Cleanup happens automatically OnRemoveFromEntity
