Lunarplanttentacle

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

Overview

lunarplanttentacle defines a prefab that spawns a temporary combat entity used during lunar events. It combines visual, physical, and gameplay properties: cylinder physics for collision, a custom state graph for AI behavior, and components for health, combat, planar damage, and loot dropping. The entity is intended to be short-lived (9-second lifetime) and is automatically removed after the attack_pst animation state completes or immediately if not in that state.

Usage example

This prefab is not instantiated directly by modders; it is spawned internally by the lunarplant_tentacle_weapon item. Typical usage would involve triggering the weapon's use action:

-- Example of spawning logic (not modder-facing):
-- When lunarplant_tentacle_weapon is used, it calls:
-- SpawnPrefab("lunarplanttentacle", ...)

-- The resulting entity has:
-- inst.components.health
-- inst.components.combat
-- inst.components.planardamage
-- inst.components.lootdropper

Dependencies & tags
