Webber Spider Minions

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

Overview​

This file defines the webber_spider_minion prefab, a type of NPC that serves as Webber's spider minions. It handles asset loading (animations, sounds), entity creation, and initial setup such as physics, animation bank, build, and dynamic shadow configuration. For server-side execution (TheWorld.ismastersim), it delegates to an external master_postinit function located in event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/webber_spider_minions"), indicating this prefab is primarily used in the Lava Arena event. It does not contain core logic itself but sets up the foundational entity properties.

Usage example​

-- The prefab is instantiated automatically via the game's prefab system:
-- local minion = Prefab("webber_spider_minion", fn, assets, prefabs)
-- Minions are typically spawned programmatically in Lava Arena scenarios
-- using SpawnPrefab("webber_spider_minion") and configured further via scripts.

Main functions​

fn()​

  • Description: Factory function used by the Prefab constructor to instantiate and initialize the webber_spider_minion entity. Sets up visual and physics properties and delegates to master_postinit on the server.
  • Parameters: None (called internally by the Prefab system).
  • Returns: inst (Entity) — the initialized entity instance.
  • Error states: Returns early (before master setup) on clients when TheWorld.ismastersim is false.

master_postinit(inst) (external)​

  • Description: Resides in event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/webber_spider_minions"). Initialized only on the server. Not part of this file's source, but is explicitly invoked by the fn function for master simulation.
  • Parameters: inst (Entity) — the entity returned by fn.
  • Returns: Nothing.
  • Error states: None documented (source not provided).
