Sharkboimanagerhelper

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-03

Overview

Sharkboimanagerhelper stores and provides utilities for the Sharkboi arena’s geometry — specifically its origin coordinates (arena_origin_x, arena_origin_z) and radius (arena_radius). These values are defined as networked float properties using net_float, enabling synchronization across the client and server. The component exposes a single utility method, IsPointInArena, to check whether a world point lies within the arena's playable area while also verifying that the location is walkable ground.

Usage example

local inst = CreateEntity()
inst:AddComponent("sharkboimanagerhelper")

-- Set arena parameters (typically done by sharkboimanager)
inst.components.sharkboimanagerhelper.arena_origin_x:set(100)
inst.components.sharkboimanagerhelper.arena_origin_z:set(200)
inst.components.sharkboimanagerhelper.arena_radius:set(64)

-- Check if a point is inside the arena
if inst.components.sharkboimanagerhelper:IsPointInArena(102, 0, 198) then
    -- Point is inside and on valid ground
end

Properties

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
arena_origin_x	net_float	0	Networked X-coordinate of the arena center.
arena_origin_z	net_float	0	Networked Z-coordinate of the arena center.
arena_radius	net_float	0	Networked radius of the arena (in world units).

Main functions

IsPointInArena(x, y, z)

• Description: Determines if the given world point (x, y, z) lies within the Sharkboi arena, considering both distance and visual ground validity.
• Parameters:
  x (number) — World X-coordinate to test.
  y (number) — World Y-coordinate (unused in distance check, but passed for completeness).
  z (number) — World Z-coordinate to test.
• Returns:
  true if the point is within the arena radius and _map:IsVisualGroundAtPoint(x, y, z) returns true; otherwise false.
• Error states: Returns false if arena_radius is <= 0, or if the point exceeds the computed bounding region.
