Pocketwatch Weapon Fx

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-06

Overview​

This prefab instantiates a visual effect (VFX) entity used to render particle effects during the pocketwatch weapon's attack animations. It creates rotating, glowing sparkles with time-varying color and scale envelopes, emitted from a spherical region around the entity’s position. The emission rate dynamically responds to the owner’s age_state ("old", "normal", or otherwise) and movement delta, clamped and interpolated for smooth transitions. The effect is only spawned on non-dedicated clients and has no persistent network replication.

Usage example​

-- Typically spawned as a child effect by the pocketwatch weapon prefab during animation frames
local fx = SpawnPrefab("pocketwatch_weapon_fx")
fx.Transform:SetWorldPosition(entity:GetWorldPosition())
