Explosivehit

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-05

Overview​

explosivehit is a lightweight prefab that spawns a short-lived, non-networked FX entity for localized explosion visuals and sound. It is designed to be instantiated on the client side (excluding dedicated servers) to provide visual feedback for minor explosions, such as firecracker detonations. It does not modify world state or interact with physics—its sole responsibility is rendering an animation and playing a sound at a given position.

Usage example​

-- This prefab is typically referenced indirectly via inst:PushEvent("explosion") or similar triggers,
-- but can be manually spawned as follows:
local fx = SpawnPrefab("explosivehit")
if fx ~= nil and fx.Transform ~= nil then
    fx.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
end
