Atrium Light

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-04

Overview

The atrium_light prefab is a decorative, powered lighting object used in the Atrium environment. It consists of three sub-prefabs (atrium_light, atrium_light_back, and atrium_light_light) that combine visually to form a complete light fixture. The component manages light activation via the atriumpowered event, controlling animation states and the Light component. It also integrates with the inspectable component to report status (ON/OFF). This prefab does not persist across sessions and is marked non-clickable.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("atrium_light")
inst.Transform:SetPos(x, y, z)
inst:PushEvent("atriumpowered", { ispowered = true })

Dependencies & tags

Components used: inspectable
Tags added by sub-prefabs: FX (on atrium_light_back), DECOR and NOCLICK (on atrium_light_light); parent has no tags directly.
