Parasitethrallover

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-08

Overview

Parasitethrallover is a UI widget responsible for rendering the visual overlay animation that appears on screen when a player is under the influence of a parasite thrall control effect. It inherits from UIAnim and manages animation states ("in", "loop", "out", "empty") based on the parasitethralllevel event emitted by the owner entity. The widget is non-interactive, center-anchored, and scales consistently across screen sizes.

Usage example

local owner = ThePlayer
local overlay = ParasiteThrallOver(owner)
overlay.inst:AddToScene()
overlay.inst:SetRenderEntity()
overlay.inst:SetSceneRun(true)

owner	Entity	nil	The entity (typically a player) whose parasite thrall state triggers the overlay.

Main functions

UpdateAnim(status)

• Description: Controls animation playback based on the current thrall status. If status is true, plays the "in" animation followed by an infinite "loop"; if false, triggers the "out" animation if currently playing "in" or "loop".
• Parameters: status (boolean) — true indicates thrall active (show overlay), false indicates ending thrall state.
• Returns: Nothing.

Events & listeners

• Listens to: parasitethralllevel — fired by the owner entity with a level parameter (boolean), triggering UpdateAnim(level).
• Listens to: animover — fired when animation transitions complete; hides and resets the overlay if the "out" animation finishes.
• Pushes: None.
