Tentacles Blocker Small

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

Overview​

tentacles_blocker_small is a static map layout file in Tiled map format. It defines a 24×24 tile grid used by the game's world generation system to place decorative and functional elements—specifically tentacles and marshland flora (e.g., tentacle, marsh_bush, marsh_tree)—within cave environments. This file does not define an ECS component; it is a data asset loaded at runtime to populate entities (e.g., via static_layouts.lua systems). The layout contains two layers: a tile layer (BG_TILES) with zero-value placeholder data, and an object layer (FG_OBJECTS) that specifies positions of game objects by type.

Usage example​

This file is not used directly as a component. Instead, it is referenced by the world generation system when building cave levels. As a modder, you would not typically interact with it in Lua code. However, if you were to create a custom static layout, you would produce a .lua file with a similar Tiled-compatible table structure.

-- Example (conceptual) of how the engine may use this layout:
-- local layout = require "map/static_layouts/tentacles_blocker_small"
-- layout.objects.FG_OBJECTS:ForEach(function(obj)
--   if obj.type == "tentacle" then
--     SpawnTentacleAt(obj.x, obj.y)
--   end
-- end)
