Armor Lavaarena

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-04

Overview​

armor_lavaarena is a prefab factory script that generates multiple armor item prefabs for the Lava Arena seasonal event. It defines a helper function MakeArmour that creates individual armor prefabs with configurable build names, tags, and foley sound assets. The script registers ten armor variants across different tiers (light, medium, heavy, and Season 2 variants), each with associated asset definitions and initialization logic. This script does not define a runtime component; instead, it returns prefab constructors suitable for registration in the game's prefabs system.

Usage example​

-- This script is loaded by the game engine and should not be manually invoked.
-- Example of how armor prefabs are referenced internally:
local armor = "lavaarena_armorheavy"
if TheWorld:HasPrefab(armor) then
    local entity = SpawnPrefab(armor)
    if entity ~= nil then
        -- Entity is a fully initialized armor prefab
        print(entity.prefab .. " spawned successfully")
    end
end

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None (uses core engine services CreateEntity, MakeInventoryPhysics, AnimState, Transform, Network; no DST components are added) Tags: Adds "hide_percentage" to every armor; additionally adds per-armor tags like "grass", "wood", "marble", "heavyarmor", "ruins", "metal" depending on variant.

Properties​

No public properties — this is a prefab factory script returning prefabs, not an instance-based component.

Main functions​

MakeArmour(name, data)​

  • Description: Constructs and returns a prefab definition for a specific armor variant using provided configuration data.
  • Parameters:
    • name (string) — Unique prefab name (e.g., "lavaarena_armorheavy").
    • data (table) — Configuration table containing:
      • build (string) — Animation bank/build name (e.g., "armor_heavy").
      • tags (table of strings) — Tags to apply to the entity.
      • foleysound (string) — Path to footstep sound asset.
      • prefabs (table) — Optional list of dependencies passed to Prefab().
  • Returns: A Prefab instance ready for registration or spawning.
  • Error states: Returns early on clients in non-master simulation mode without calling master_postinit.

Events & listeners​

  • Listens to: None.
  • Pushes: None directly; delegates server-side post-initialization to event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/armor_lavaarena").master_postinit(inst, name, data.build) when running on the master simulation.
