📋 About This Mod
API for Prefab creation, networking and duplication
R2API_Prefab is a library submodule for Risk of Rain 2 modding that lets creators clone or create new prefabs and register them for networking. It's essential for modders adding custom items or enemies, with over 956k downloads and recent updates for the SOTS DLC.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive download count (956k) shows it's a staple in the modding community.
- Actively maintained with updates for SOTS DLC2 and recent fixes.
- Provides essential tools for both cloning and creating prefabs, plus networking support.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (13) relative to downloads, possibly due to being a behind-the-scenes library.
- Requires understanding of Unity prefab and networking concepts, not for casual users.
- Version 1.1.1 removed a parameter from CreateEmptyPrefab, which could break older mods.
This is for Risk of Rain 2 mod developers who need to add custom prefabs like items, enemies, or interactables. If you're a modder using R2API, this submodule is a must-have for handling prefab creation and networking. It's not for players looking for gameplay mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When using InstantiateClone, set the bool argument to false if your prefab doesn't have a NetworkIdentity component to avoid networking issues.
- Use CreateEmptyPrefab for completely new prefabs, but be sure to add necessary components manually.
- Always check the changelog for breaking changes like the parameter removal in 1.1.1 when updating.
