Purebrilliance

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

Overview

purebrilliance is a consumable item prefab that, when used, casts a SPECIALTYPES.WURT_LUNAR spell targeting the doer. It does not interact with a target entity directly but instead acts on the doer's list of followers (via the leader component). If the doer has lunarminion followers that are alive, each one receives a wurt_merm_planar debuff and triggers a delayed cheer event. The item is consumed and removed upon successful spell use. It is designed for use with Wurt's merm mechanics and integrates with DST’s spellcasting and inventory systems.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("purebrilliance")
inst.components.inventoryitem.owner = some_player
inst.components.inventoryitem:PushToInventory()
-- When used (e.g., via right-click or action):
inst.components.spellcaster:CastSpell(target, position, doer)

Dependencies & tags

Components used: health, leader, spellcaster, stackable Tags: Adds purebrilliance, mermbuffcast to the main item; FX, NOCLICK to the symbol FX variant.

Main functions

Wurt_MermSpellFn(inst, target, pos, doer)

• Description: The spell function executed when purebrilliance is used. Iterates over the doer's followers, applying a debuff and scheduling a cheer event for each living lunarminion. Then consumes and removes the item. This function is assigned via spellcaster:SetSpellFn().
• Parameters:
  • inst (Entity): The purebrilliance item instance itself.
  • target (Entity or nil): Not used; spell targets the doer indirectly via followers.
  • pos (Vector3): Not used.
  • doer (Entity): The entity casting/using the spell; must have the leader component.
• Returns: Nothing.
• Error states:
  • Skips non-lunarminion or dead followers.
  • Consumes the item regardless of how many followers exist; even with no valid followers, the item is removed.

Events & listeners

• Pushes: cheer — fired on each eligible follower with a small random delay (.3 * math.random() seconds). Triggered by PushCheerEvent, which only fires if the follower has the lunarminion tag and is not dead (not components.health:IsDead()).
• Listens to: None.
