Lavaarena Groundlifts

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-05

Overview​

lavaarena_groundlifts is a Prefab factory module that defines and registers five distinct ground lift effect prefabs for use in the Lava Arena boss encounter. Each variant is customized with specific animation, sound, and tag configurations. These prefabs are instantiated via the MakeGroundLift factory function and used as visual and behavioral elements during boss attacks.

The prefabs are self-contained and do not implement additional logic in this file; server-side initialization is delegated to master_postinit in the event_server_data("lavaarena", ...) handler.

Usage example​

-- Example of spawning one of the ground lift prefabs in the world
local inst = SpawnPrefab("lavaarena_groundlift")
inst.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
inst:Show()

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None identified
Tags: Adds notarget, hostile, groundspike, object, stone; conditionally adds CLASSIFIED if no animation.
