✅ Verified in-game — deeper pass: reframed as a screen-tint override (not an ordnance spawner), documented the ShieldFace 150-unit reaction, surfaced the bright daisy-cutter Atmosphere tunables, cross-linked mrxdaisycutter/MrxUtil/Graphics

Airstrike_Atmosphere_Daisycutter

Module: airstrike_atomsphere_daisycutter.lua

Overview

This is the screen-grade / post-process flash for the Daisy Cutter airstrike — it does not spawn the bomb. On activation it overrides the global Graphics.Atmosphere look (bright over-exposed flash) for a moment, then makes nearby player heroes flinch and shield their eyes via MrxUtil.ShieldFace. The actual ordnance is delivered by MrxDaisyCutter.

atomsphere is a typo baked into the real in-game object name (it means atmosphere). Leave it as-is.

Inheritance

Inherits from: none
Imports: MrxUtil

Instance pattern

Stateless utility module — no per-instance tables, no uGuid management, no persistent state. Reacts to one engine OnActivate call.

Functions

`OnActivate(guid)`

Engine lifecycle callback. Schedules _GraphicsAto 0.1 s later via Event.Create(Event.TimerRelative, {0.1}, _GraphicsAto, {guid}).

`_GraphicsAto(guid)`

Runs the Graphics.Atmosphere.Begin() … End() override block (see tunables), then calls MrxUtil.ShieldFace(guid), which plays the "shieldface" action on every player hero within 150 units of guid (the flinch-from-the-blast animation).

Module constants & tunables

Hardcoded literals inside _GraphicsAto (no named module constants). Notable for this variant:

`Graphics.Atmosphere` key	Value	Effect
`fAtmosphereLimit`	`250`	Wider haze reach than the standard 200.
`fBloomAmount` / `fBloomMultiplier`	`0.84` / `0.66`	Strong bloom.
`fLightIntensity`	`3.75`	Big over-bright flash (matches the MOAB variant).
`fTimeRestore`	`1.7`	Blends back over ~1.7 s.

Ambient/cube/rim colors are neutral grey 128,128,128,255; gradient stops uiGradient0_Color2 / uiGradient1_Color1 are zeroed to 0,0,255,0. (Identical numeric grade to the MOAB variant except fTimeRestore.)

Events

Not an Event.Create subscription. Event.TimerRelative schedules _GraphicsAto once, 0.1 s after activation. OnActivate is an engine lifecycle callback.

Notes for modders

Override _GraphicsAto (a plain global) to retune the grade or to drop the ShieldFace flinch.
The 150-unit eye-shield radius lives in mrxutil’s ShieldFace (shared by several bomb effects); change it there, not here.
To change the bomb itself, edit MrxDaisyCutter — this file is visuals only.
