Spider Web Spit Creep

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

Overview​

spider_web_spit_creep is a temporary prefab instance that visualizes the residual effect of a spider's spit impact by applying a ground creep (e.g., sticky web residue) on the terrain. It is created only on the master simulation and automatically destroyed after 5 seconds. This prefab does not persist across sessions and has no functional logic beyond setting up its physical area and scheduling removal.

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated internally by the game when a spider fires spit at a surface. Modders do not typically create it directly, but if needed:

local inst = Prefab("spider_web_spit_creep")
if inst and TheWorld.ismastersim then
    inst.components.groundcreepentity:SetRadius(3)
    inst:DoTaskInTime(5, inst.Remove)
    inst.persists = false
end

Main functions​

This prefab is instantiated via a Prefab function — the fn function serves as the constructor.

fn()​

  • Description: The prefab constructor. Initializes the entity with required components, configures the ground creep radius, sets persistence off, and schedules self-destruction after 5 seconds.
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: inst (Entity) — a fully configured but non-persistent spider spit creep entity, or an incomplete entity on non-master clients.
  • Error states: Returns early on non-mastersim clients without completing setup.

Events & listeners​

None identified.
