Prefablist

Based on game build 722832 | Last updated: 2026-04-28

Overview

prefablist.lua defines a global array-indexed table PREFABFILES containing string identifiers for every prefab registered in the game. This file is auto-generated by exportprefabs.lua and serves as a central registry for prefab discovery. Other systems iterate over this table to validate prefab names, populate UI lists, or perform bulk operations across all entities. This is a configuration source — it is not a component and does not attach to entities.

Usage example

local PREFABFILES = require "prefablist"

-- Iterate over all registered prefabs
for i, prefabname in ipairs(PREFABFILES) do
    print(i, prefabname)
end

-- Check if a prefab exists in the registry
local function IsPrefabRegistered(name)
    for _, v in ipairs(PREFABFILES) do
        if v == name then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

-- Access specific entries by index
local first = PREFABFILES[1]      -- "abigail"
local count = #PREFABFILES        -- Total prefab count
