Eyeofterror Arrive Fx

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

Overview​

eyeofterror_arrive_fx is a one-shot FX prefab that represents the visual arrival of the Eye of Terror boss. It creates a portal-like animated entity with a self-modulating radius light and a colour-cycling hue effect, accompanied by a sound. The entity does not persist, has no physics or AI, and is automatically removed after ~120 frames (2 seconds in default frame rate). It is client-aware: on dedicated servers it only sets up the minimal network-replicated state.

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated internally by the game engine and not typically added directly by modders. However, a typical usage pattern in DST prefabs looks like:

local fx = SpawnPrefab("eyeofterror_arrive_fx")
fx.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None — uses entity:AddAnimState(), entity:AddLight(), entity:AddSoundEmitter(), entity:AddNetwork() directly; no components added via inst:AddComponent. Tags: Adds FX.

Properties​

No public properties are exposed on the instance. Internal state is held in private fields (_lightframe, _islighton, _lighttask, _lightcolourtask, _lighttweener) and stored in networked locals where needed.

Main functions​

Not applicable — this file defines a Prefab constructor function (fn) rather than a reusable component class.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to:
    • "lightdirty" — triggers light/animation updates (client-only).
    • "animover" — removes the entity when the animation completes.
  • Pushes: None.
