Gestalt Head

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

Overview​

gestalt_head is a prefab factory that generates non-networked visual FX entities used by the Gestalt and Gestalt Guard characters. These entities serve as decorative head attachments, following their parent and playing an idle animation. They are not persisted, do not participate in network synchronization, and have no gameplay logic beyond visual presentation.

The factory supports two variants via the bank parameter:

  • "brightmare_gestalt_head" — used for the standard Gestalt.
  • "brightmare_gestalt_head_evolved" — used for the evolved Gestalt Guard.

Usage example​

-- Example: Spawn a standard Gestalt head entity
local head = Prefab("gestalt_head")()
head.components.follower:FollowEntity(some_parent_entity)

-- Example: Spawn an evolved Gestalt guard head entity
local guard_head = Prefab("gestalt_guard_head")()
guard_head.components.follower:FollowEntity(some_parent_entity)
