GlowTrigger¶

A component meant to be added programmatically or via Unity to a GameObject.

This component has 2 purposes with one being optional: it is both a glow effect that can be conditionally activated or deactivated and it can also be used to have a Hazard attached that will be active for certain periods of time periodically. Some Objects NPCControl supports having a GlowTrigger with or without the hazards feature:

The Hazard is optional and it isn't configured by the GlowTrigger, but it does directly control its BoxCollider such that even though the Hazards will technically default to a Spikes type, GlowTrigger manages it such that the BoxCollider's center is offscreen when the MainManager.player is shielding. It's effectively behaving as if it was a WalkableSpikes, but through the GlowTrigger and everything else in the Hazards behaves as if it was a Spikes. It's possible to override this by having the GameObject have its own Hazards preattached.

This component has many configurations available, here are all the public fields:

parent: The associated NPCControl with this component. It is meant to be set by the NPCControl adding the component and its hit value determines if the glow is active or not. If it is not associated with any NPCControl, this is null. It is not meant to be set via the inspector, just be accessible to the games. If targetentityid isn't negative, this is overriden to be the npcdata of the map entity whose id is targetentityid
refreshdelay: The amount of LateUpdate cycles to skip per glow refresh
targetentityid: If this isn't negative, the value of parent is overriden to be the npcdata of the map entity whose id is targetentityid. Its hit value determines if the glow is active or not
flagid: If this isn't negative, a flags slot that determines if the glow is active or not
materialid: The index of the materials array to change the color and the _Emission property of each glowparts elements when refreshing the glow
glowparts: The array of MeshRenderer whose materials[materialid].color and _Emission color property will change when refreshing the glow. If this is null or empty, Start will override it to be a single element being the first child MeshRenderer
glowspeed: The MainManager.TieFramerate parameter to use as the lerp factor when changing the glowparts materials's color and _Emission color property
eleccd: If electime isn't 0.0, this is the amount of frames left before the Hazards's BoxCollider becomes active. This isn't meant to be set via the inspector, but it is exposed to the game specifically for event 95 (actuating a switch in on the first room of the Honey Factory) to control for animation reasons
getactivecolorfromstart: If this is true, the activecolor value won't be used. Instead, the values of glowparts[0] materials's color and _Emission color property will be used as the activecolor
force: If this is true, it forces the glow to always be active even if none of the requirements are met which are any of the following:
- parent's hit value is true
- flagid check passes
- flagvar check passes
nosound: This should NEVER be true because it will lead to unexpected behaviors. It was supposed to disable a functionality involving an AudioSource when the hazard feature is enabled, but not all the components properly checks for this and still assumes that the AudioSource exists
invert: If this is true, reverse the activity of the glow where if it was supposed to be active, it will be inactive and vice versa. NOTE: force being true takes precedence over this
flagvar: A vector2 that expresses a flagvar check that determines whether or not the glow is active. If the x component is negative, this featrue is disabled. The check involves flagvar slot x being at least the value of the y component
electime: The amount of frames that needs to elapse until the Hazards's BoxCollider becomes active. If this is 0.0, the Hazards feature is disabled. NOTE: It is invalid to have a negative value and doing so will lead to unexpected behaviors where the Hazards will be created, but won't be used in any practical way
elecstay: If electime isn't 0.0, this is the amount of frames that the Hazards's BoxCollider stays active once eleccd became 0.0
deactivatedcolor: The color to use as the destination of the lerp when the glow is inactive which will affect the values of all glowparts materials's color and _Emission color property
elecp: An instance of Prefabs/Particles/Elec childed to the GameObject, used when the hazard feature is enabled. This isn't meant to be set via the inspector, but it is exposed to the game specifically for event 95 (actuating a switch in on the first room of the Honey Factory) to control for animation reasons
activecolor: The color to use as the destination of the lerp when the glow is active which will affect the values of all glowparts materials's color and _Emission color property. If getactivecolorfromstart is true, this value is ignored

Here's some additional notes about the component:

All glowparts gets the NoMapColor tag on Start which will not cause changes to the material's color when entering an inside
When the hazard becomes active, its BoxCollider's center is set to (0.0, 1.0, 0.0) and when it's inactive or if the MainManager.player has a shield, it is set to offscreen at (0.0, 999.0, 0.0)
When eleccd becomes lower than 100.0 (there's less than 100.0 frames left before the hazard becomes active) and the glow is active, the glow refresh logic is overriden to blink the color to pure yellow and pure red periodically until eleccd becomes 0.0 or lower. This also involves the Audio/Sounds/Alarm2 being played periodically using this component's own AudioSource
When the hazard is active, elecp plays and Audio/Sounds/ShockLoop is played on loop using this component's own AudioSource. It will only stop playing on the next cycle where eleccd gets set to electime
When the hazard becomes inactive, elecp stops playing
Any sound playing as a result of the hazard will be done with a volume of MainManager.soundvolume (reduced by half if MainManager.FreePlayer without fly is false)
