This is an explosion whose sprite hurts the hero and enemies.

You can create this type of map entity only dynamically with map:create_explosion(). It cannot be declared in the map data file.

Remarks

Explosion entities exist for historical reasons and are not very customizable. In new projects, we recommend to use custom entities instead.

Overview
