Spellmasterybuff

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

Overview​

spellmasterybuff is a prefab definition file that instantiates three related FX entities used exclusively in the Lava Arena event: spellmasterybuff (the anchor), spellmasteryorb (individual orbs), and spellmasteryorbs (the orb container). These prefabs provide visual feedback for the Spell Mastery mechanic by displaying animated arcane orbs. The component logic is delegated to external server-side event hooks (buff_postinit, orbs_postinit) registered via event_server_data.

Usage example​

This file does not define a component, but rather defines prefabs. Typical usage involves instantiation via SpawnPrefab in the context of the Lava Arena event:

local buff = SpawnPrefab("spellmasterybuff")
local orb = SpawnPrefab("spellmasteryorb")
local orb_container = SpawnPrefab("spellmasteryorbs")

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None directly — uses entity subsystems via inst.entity:Add*(). Relies on external event callbacks: event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/spellmasterybuff").buff_postinit and event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/spellmasterybuff").orbs_postinit. Tags: Adds "FX" and "NOCLICK" to all prefabs; spellmasteryorbs additionally adds "FX" only.

Properties​

No public properties defined — this is a prefab definition file, not a component.

Main functions​

This file contains only prefab constructor functions (fn, orbfn, orbsfn), not component-style methods.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None (prefab constructors do not register listeners).
  • Pushes: None — relies on event_server_data hooks for server-side initialization.
