Spawn Meteors

[SKrnPride]

Hey guys I was wondering if there was a way to spawn a meteor? like just one meteor. And if possible could i add this effect to an item similar to how the bell summons the big foot? Please and thank you.

local function fn()
    local inst = CreateEntity()

    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    --[[Non-networked entity]]

    inst:AddTag("CLASSIFIED")

    inst:AddComponent("meteorshower")

    return inst
end

return Prefab("meteorspawner", fn)
 

i found this in the game's prefabs but i dont know how to use it

c_spawn("shadowmeteor") spawns a meteor where your cursor is.

Can this be coded into an item? or is this admin controls only?

Thanks, DarkXero. 

I was trying to figure out from the Meteor Shower script how to do this, turn out that your way is more simple than i thought. 

Just one question, how can i set the size of the meteor? In the meteor shower i can use meteor:SetSize("small",mod)

The meteor prefab has attached the SetSize function to it.

So it is as simple as doing

local meteor = SpawnPrefab("shadowmeteor")
meteor.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
meteor:SetSize("large", 1.5)

in my example.

You got "small", "medium", and "large". mod is a multiplier that affects the chances of getting special stuff.

This gives me an idea for a trap.

Tks

I could not figure out for myself why there was a mod variable, anyway, tks!

if mod is not defined, it is 1.
It is a multiplier for the chance to include minerals like flints and rocks or also moonrocks

Is it possible to change the animation of the character playing the flute to a much quicker and simplier one? I'm guessing that the line that makes the animation happends is this one:

	inst.components.tool:SetAction(ACTIONS.PLAY)

But i'm not sure though. I would rather the animation that happends when using an ítem, like the spider glant (is just an the first quick animation that came into my mind, not the best though)
