Torchfire Yotrpillowfight

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

Overview​

torchfire_yotrpillowfight is a prefab helper that generates a custom visual fire effect for the Yotrpillowfight event. It leverages MakeTorchFire from torchfire_common.lua to instantiate a particle-based fire source with dedicated smoke and flame emitters. The component defines and registers color/scale envelopes for smooth animation of both smoke and fire particles, then configures rendering and emission behavior in common_postinit. It is not an ECS component itself but a prefab factory function that returns a configured entity instance.

Usage example​

This prefab is not instantiated manually. It is used internally by the event system as part of the torchfire_yotrpillowfight prefab definition:

local torchfire = require("prefabs/torchfire_yotrpillowfight")
-- Typically invoked via: SpawnPrefab("torchfire_yotrpillowfight")
-- It produces a visual-only entity (no network replication or gameplay logic)

Properties​

No public properties — this file defines a prefab configuration, not a component with instance-accessible state.

Main functions​

This file does not expose main functions intended for direct consumption. The following internal functions are defined for particle emission:

emit_smoke_fn(effect, sphere_emitter)​

  • Description: Spawns a single smoke particle with randomized position and velocity.
  • Parameters:
    effect (VFXEffect instance) — target effect object for particle addition.
    sphere_emitter (function) — returns a random 3D position within a small sphere.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None documented.

emit_fire_fn(effect, sphere_emitter)​

  • Description: Spawns a single fire particle with randomized position and velocity.
  • Parameters:
    effect (VFXEffect instance) — target effect object for particle addition.
    sphere_emitter (function) — returns a random 3D position within a small sphere.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None documented.

InitEnvelope()​

  • Description: Registers color and vector2 envelopes for smoke and fire particles. Runs once, then self-resets to nil.
  • Parameters: None.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: Only runs once; subsequent calls have no effect.

Events & listeners​

None — this prefab does not register or push game events.
