Skeleton Trapper

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-02

Overview

This file is a Tiled JSON-style map layout used to define static placements of game entities (e.g., traps, spoiled food, a skeleton, blueprint) for a "skeleton trapper" scene. It is not an ECS component, but rather a data file that specifies object positions, types, and metadata for world generation or scene setup. The layout is embedded in Lua as a table and is likely consumed by map loading or procedural generation systems.

Usage example

This file is not instantiated as a component. Instead, it is returned directly and used by the worldgen/map system:

-- Example usage by worldgen system (not modder-facing):
local layout = require("map/static_layouts/skeleton_trapper")
-- The layout data is used internally to place objects like traps and spoiled food
-- in the world during map generation.

Main functions

Not applicable. This file only defines a static data structure.

Events & listeners

Not applicable. This file does not define any runtime behavior, events, or listeners.

Layers

BG_TILES

A tile layer (type = "tilelayer") named "BG_TILES" with 12x12 dimensions. All tile IDs are 0, indicating empty background.

FG_OBJECTS

An object group (type = "objectgroup") named "FG_OBJECTS" containing placed entities:

• skeleton
  Position: x=122, y=118
  Used as a reference point or placeholder for skeleton entity placement.
• trap (2 instances)
  Positions: x=172, y=55 and x=99, y=167
  Likely corresponds to in-game snare or deadfall traps.
• birdtrap (2 instances)
  Positions: x=89, y=82 and x=111, y=16
  Likely corresponds to in-game bird traps.
• bushhat
  Position: x=156, y=146
  Represents a decorative or functional bush hat object.
• rope (2 instances)
  Positions: x=44, y=101 and x=184, y=103
  Used for rope decoration or mechanics.
• spoiled_food (3 instances)
  Positions: x=61, y=155, x=32, y=145, x=36, y=177
  Placed as environmental clutter or loot.
• blueprint
  Position: x=64, y=48
  Metadata includes data.recipetouse = "birdtrap", indicating this object allows crafting of bird traps.

Notes

• This file is not a component and does not attach to entities via AddComponent.
• Positions (x, y) are in pixels relative to the map origin.
• The shape = "rectangle" and width=height=0 for all objects suggest positional markers rather than collision areas.
• The file is imported directly via require("map/static_layouts/skeleton_trapper") and is likely parsed by map-related logic during world initialization.
