Messages AreaVisualData

AreaVisualData is the entity that carries the purely visual, non-gameplay content of an area: particle effects, audio emitters, map markers, loot objects and force shields. It has no commands, only server sent events, and they arrive on several different views of the same entity.

Events

LootObjectCollected

• On the AreaVisualData LootObjectView.
• Sent to everyone who can see a piece of loot when it is picked up, so their client can remove it.
• Contents: a uint32 loot index and two entity ids, the looter and what it was looted into. Which of the two ids is which has not been confirmed.
• Triggered by a client sending CollectLoot. The near identical LootStoreExtension message is sent for the same event on the other view.

AudioEmitterSpawned

• On the AreaVisualData ObserverView.
• Contents: an int64, a Vector3 that is presumably the position, and a ushort that is either a short time or an audio id.

ParticleEffectSpawned

• On the AreaVisualData ForceShieldView, despite the name.
• Carries a single particle effect struct.
