Lavaarena

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-22

Overview

lavaarena.lua registers the Lava Arena event level with the map system using AddLevel, AddWorldGenLevel, and AddSettingsPreset. It defines specific world generation overrides that disable standard features like boons, traps, and touchstones to enforce the event's unique gameplay rules. This file is executed during map initialization to ensure the level type is available for selection in customization screens. It references global string tables for localization and the LEVELTYPE enum for identification.

Usage example

-- Requires the file to register the level with the map system (side effect)
require "map/levels/lavaarena"

-- The level is now available in LEVELTYPE enum
print(LEVELTYPE.LAVAARENA)

-- Access localization strings defined in the registration
print(STRINGS.UI.CUSTOMIZATIONSCREEN.PRESETLEVELS.LAVAARENA)
