Lavaarena Meteor

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

Overview​

lavaarena_meteor is a prefab definition for the meteor projectile used in the Lava Arena event. It creates a visual FX entity with a dedicated crash animation, bloom shader, and networked state. It also defines and registers four related prefabs: the main meteor, its splash FX, splash projection (base), and splash hit. The component is non-functional beyond visual initialization — it performs no physics, collision, or gameplay logic; all gameplay behavior is handled externally via post-initialization callbacks (meteor_postinit, splash_postinit, splashhit_postinit).

Usage example​

This prefab is instantiated internally by the game during the Lava Arena event and should not be manually spawned by mods. Typical internal usage (not public API):

-- Automatically loaded and spawned via event logic
TheWorld:PushEvent("ms_makefoe", { prefabs = { "lavaarena_meteor" } })

Dependencies & tags​

Components used: None identified. Tags: Adds FX, NOCLICK, notarget to all spawned entities.

Properties​

No public properties are defined or used.

Main functions​

Not applicable — this is a static prefab definition, not a component.

Events & listeners​

  • Pushes: None directly.
  • Internally invokes (via server-side callbacks):
    • event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/lavaarena_meteor").meteor_postinit(inst) for the main meteor.
    • event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/lavaarena_meteor").splash_postinit(inst) for splash FX.
    • event_server_data("lavaarena", "prefabs/lavaarena_meteor").splashhit_postinit(inst) for splash hit FX. These callbacks are defined in external event code (e.g., scenarios/lavaarena.lua or related event scripts) and are not part of this file.
