Channel Absorb Fire Fx

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

Overview​

channel_absorb_fire_fx is a lightweight entity used to display an animated visual effect during channeling absorption actions. It supports multiple animation states — pre-loop, loop, and post-loop — and provides helper prefabs for fire, smoulder, and embers variants. The component is self-contained, with no external component dependencies or event passing beyond its own lifecycle.

Usage example​

-- Spawns the base fire effect at position (x, y, z)
local fx = SpawnPrefab("channel_absorb_fire_fx")
fx.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

-- To trigger the post-loop animation and remove the entity after it completes:
if fx.KillFX then
    fx:KillFX()
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: animstate, transform, follower, network
Tags: Adds FX, NOCLICK.
