Tentaclespike

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

Overview​

The tentaclespike prefab represents a durable, single-use weapon item used primarily in combat. It is attached to an entity via the equippable component for manual handling and leverages the weapon component for damage output. It is also enhanced with the finiteuses component to track usage and self-destruct once depleted. The prefab functions as an inventory item and can be launched via Haunt mechanic interactions.

Usage example​

local inst = MakePrefab("tentaclespike")
-- Optional: adjust damage or uses programmatically
inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(30)
inst.components.finiteuses:SetUses(5)
