Firefx Light

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

Overview​

firefx_light is a lightweight prefab intended for short-lived visual effects, specifically as a light source for fire-related FX. It is designed to be non-persistent (does not save to disk) and is only fully initialized on the master simulation (server), while clients receive a minimal version for rendering purposes. It adds only the essential entity components: transform, light, and network.

Usage example​

-- Typical usage within a higher-level FX system (e.g., when a fire spawns)
local fireLight = SpawnPrefab("firefx_light")
if fireLight then
    fireLight.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
    -- Light properties are configured via the light component directly in prefabs or via Lua
end
