Lunarrift Crystal Spawn Fx

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

Overview​

lunarrift_crystal_spawn_fx is a prefab that instantiates a brief smoke particle effect for visual feedback when a lunar rift crystal spawns. It uses the VFX effect system (AddVFXEffect) to render a small cloud of animated smoke particles with custom color and scale envelopes over 0.5 seconds. The effect is not persistent and is discarded automatically. Dedicated servers skip loading the effect entirely.

Usage example​

This prefab is not meant to be manually instantiated by mods. It is spawned internally by the game at the appropriate time (e.g., during lunar rift events). To use it, call:

local inst = SpawnPrefab("lunarrift_crystal_spawn_fx")

  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None — silently no-ops if the effect slot is misconfigured, but this is not expected.
