Rope

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-07

Overview

The rope prefab defines an item used primarily as a fuel source and tradable cat toy. It is instantiated as an inventory object with physical, animated, and networked properties. When added to the world on the master simulation, it gains additional functionality: inventoryitem, inspectable, stackable, fuel, and tradable components. It is also configured to burn and ignite under specific conditions via MakeSmallBurnable, MakeSmallPropagator, and MakeHauntableLaunchAndIgnite.

Usage example

local inst = SpawnPrefab("rope")
if inst ~= nil then
    inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
    inst:PushEvent("ignite", { igniter = some_actor })
end
