Prototype/Beacon

Basics

Prototype type: beacon

Entity with the ability to transfer module's effects to it's neighboring entities. Extends the Prototype/EntityWithHealth

Usage in base

• Beacon

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

energy_usage

Type: Types/Energy

animation

Type: Types/Animation

The animation for the Beacon, when in use.

animation_shadow

Type: Types/Animation

energy_source

Type: Types/EnergySource

Must be an electric or void energy source.

base_picture

Type: Types/Sprite

The picture of the Beacon when it is not on.

supply_area_distance

Type: Types/double

The maximum distance that this Beacon can supply it's neighbors with it's module's effects. Max distance is 64.

distribution_effectivity

Type: Types/double

The multiplier of the module's effects, when shared between neighbors.

module_specification

Type: Types/ModuleSpecification

The number of module slots in this beacon, and their icon positions.

Optional properties

radius_visualisation_picture

Type: Types/Sprite

allowed_effects

Type: Types/EffectTypeLimitation

The types of modules that a player can place inside of the Beacon.
