Teleportato Base Layout Adv

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

Overview

teleportato_base_layout_adv.lua is a map layout definition file that describes the static geometry and object placements for the Advanced Teleportato base in DST. It is not a component in the Entity Component System sense (i.e., it does not define an ECS component class), but rather a pure data structure returned by a Lua module. This layout is consumed by the game’s world generation system to instantiate physical entities (e.g., teleportato_base, bishop, flower_evil, marbletree, etc.) and background tile layers during level loading.

Usage example

This file is not used directly as a component, but is referenced internally by the world generation system. Modders typically do not load or manipulate this file manually. For reference, world layouts like this are loaded via the map system, for example:

-- Pseudo-code: How the engine may use such a layout
local layout = require("map/static_layouts/teleportato_base_layout_adv")
for _, obj in ipairs(layout.layers[2].objects) do
    if obj.type == "teleportato_base" then
        SpawnTeleportatoBase(obj.x, obj.y)
    end
    -- ... handle other object types similarly
end

Properties

No public properties in the ECS component sense. The module returns a flat Lua table with map metadata:

Property	Type	Default Value	Description
version	string	"1.1"	Tiled format version
luaversion	string	"5.1"	Lua version compatibility
orientation	string	"orthogonal"	Map orientation type
width	number	40	Map width in tiles
height	number	40	Map height in tiles
tilewidth	number	16	Tile width in pixels
tileheight	number	16	Tile height in pixels
tilesets	table	(see source)	Array of tileset definitions
layers	table	(see source)	Array of layers: tile layer "BG_TILES" and object group "FG_OBJECTS"
