Lunarrift Terraformer Explosion

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

Overview​

lunarrift_terraformer_explosion is a transient visual FX prefab that represents the explosion effect of a Lunarrift terraformer. When spawned, it creates a brief visual and audio cue, then detonates after a short delay. The detonation checks for entities within a circular radius, applying damage via the combat component only if the entity has a non-dead health component. It is used exclusively for localized environmental effects in the Lunar Rift biome.

Usage example​

This prefab is not intended for manual instantiation by mods; it is spawned internally by the Lunarrift terraformer logic. A typical internal spawn call looks like:

TheWorld:SpawnPrefab("lunarrift_terraformer_explosion")
    .Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: Transform, AnimState, SoundEmitter, Network, health, combat Tags: Adds FX. Uses hard-coded tag filters (_combat, DECOR, FX, flight, INLIMBO, invisible, lunar_aligned, noattack, NOCLICK, notarget, playerghost) for entity filtering.

Properties​

No public properties. All configuration is encapsulated via local constants (HIT_BY_EXPLOSION_RANGE, HIT_BY_EXPLOSION_* tags) and TUNING.RIFT_LUNAR1_TERRAFORM_EXPLOSION_DAMAGE.

Main functions​

do_explosion(inst)​

  • Description: Calculates the explosion’s position and finds all entities within range that match the filtering criteria, then applies damage via combat:GetAttacked. Intended for internal use only.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — the explosion prefab instance.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Skips entities that are dead (as reported by health:IsDead()). Does nothing if TheWorld.ismastersim is false (the function is invoked only on the master simulation).

Events & listeners​
