Thunder Close

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

Overview​

thunder_close is a client-side FX prefab that creates a localized thunder sound effect with positional audio and triggers a screen flash. It is instantiated locally on the client (excluding dedicated servers) and does not persist in the world. The prefab uses a single-frame delayed task to ensure safe cleanup and randomly generates a sound-emission angle and radius for spatial distribution.

Usage example​

-- This prefab is automatically spawned by the game engine (e.g., during thunderstorm events).
-- It is not intended for direct manual instantiation by modders.
-- However, if needed:
local inst = Prefab("thunder_close", fn)()
