Spider Healer Item

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

Overview​

spider_healer_item is a prefab that represents a throwable healing item used exclusively by the Spider Whisperer character. When used (via the healer component), it triggers a one-time heal effect on the Spider Whisperer and any nearby spiders within range. It integrates with the healer, inventoryitem, inspectable, stackable, and burnable components to support standard inventory behaviors and special healing logic.

Usage example​

-- Typically used via the game's built-in item system; manual usage example:
local inst = SpawnPrefab("spider_healer_item")
-- The item becomes usable when equipped by a spiderwhisperer
inst.components.healer:UseHealer(target) -- triggers OnHealFn for target and nearby spiders

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: healer, inventoryitem, inspectable, stackable, animstate, soundemitter, transform, network, floatable, propagator, hauntablelaunch, burnable
Tags: Checks spider and spiderwhisperer; avoids FX, NOCLICK, DECOR, INLIMBO.
