Blinkfocus Marker

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

Overview

blinkfocus_marker is a lightweight, temporary visual entity used to indicate the maximum allowed range for blink-type abilities (such as those used in combat or movement). It is not persisted across sessions and exists only on the server (as indicated by early return on the client). The entity exposes helper methods to configure its visibility duration and range, and registers itself with the blinkfocus tag for filtering and selection.

Usage example

local marker = SpawnPrefab("blinkfocus_marker")
marker.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
marker:SetMaxRange(5)
marker:MakeTemporary(2.0) -- Disappears after 2 seconds

Dependencies & tags

Components used: Transform, AnimState, Network Tags: Adds blinkfocus on the instance.
