areas — every region of Lumenvale lives in the one scene at its own world offset; this module moves Amelia between them, keeps her inside each one, stops her walking through buildings, applies each area's light and ambient life, and rolls random encounters in the wild. local Areas = require("game.world.areas") Areas.register("murmurwood", { name = "The Murmurwood", -- shown on the area title card origin = { -400, 0, 0 }, -- world offset; everything below is relative bounds = { -20, -12, 20, 10 }, -- minX, minZ, maxX, maxZ Amelia may walk in spawns = { fromEmberbrook = { 18, 2 }, start = { 0, 0 } }, exits = { { x = 20, z = 2, radius = 1.6, to = "emberbrook", spawn = "fromMurmurwood" } }, blockers = { { -3, -9, 3, -6 } }, -- rects (x1, z1, x2, z2) she can't walk into atmosphere = "forest", -- game.fx.atmosphere preset (particles, shafts) look = function() ... end, -- tune Sun / Ambient / Sky / fog by name on entry encounters = { rate = 0.06, pools = { { "bramblewisp", "mossback" } } }, -- per metre walked music = "murmurwood", -- forwarded on the "areaEntered" event for audio }) Areas.travel("murmurwood", "fromEmberbrook") Before every area's `look` runs, the scene's authored (Emberbrook golden) lighting is restored, so a look only states what differs. Events (game.world.events): "areaLeaving"(fromId), "areaEntered"(id, def), "encounter"(pool). Fades go through Areas.setFader(fn(toBlack, seconds)), which the UI registers; without one, travel is a cut.
