Gameplay and World

Players

Common player calls:

Player.GetAll()
Player.GetName(peerId)
Player.GetSteamId(peerId)
Player.GetPos(peerId)
Player.GetHealth(peerId)
Player.Notify(peerId, message, kind)
Player.PlayEffect(peerId, prefabName)

Position, health, stamina, inventory, and permission decisions must be authoritative on the server.

Containers and equipment

Server mutations; client/server discovery

local nearby = Container.FindNearby(x, y, z, 20, nil, 'vanilla')
local items = Container.GetAllItems(containerId)

Container.TransferFromPlayer(containerId, peerId, itemId, amount)
Container.TransferToPlayer(containerId, peerId, itemId, amount)

Container state is persisted by world-scoped ID. The server can discover and mutate enrolled unloaded containers without a live Unity object.

Equipment APIs expose equipped slots and stateless take/give operations for Lua-owned gear systems:

local equipped = Equipment.GetEquipped(peerId)
local item = Equipment.TakeEquipped(peerId, 'helmet')
Equipment.GiveItem(peerId, item, true)

UI

Client

UI.ShowPanel('status', {
  title = 'Server status',
  rows = {
    { label = 'Event', value = 'Active' },
    { label = 'Players', value = '12' }
  }
})

UI.HidePanel('status')

The lightweight panel API is intended for status and utility interfaces. A browser-based NUI runtime is not part of the current release.

Assets, items, recipes, and mobs

Resources can declare custom content in manifest.lua or register it through runtime APIs:

Asset.HasPrefab(prefabName)
AssetBundle.Load(relativePath)
AssetBundle.RegisterNetworkPrefab(relativePath, assetName, persistent)
AssetBundle.RegisterItem(relativePath, assetName, persistent)
Item.RegisterDerived(basePrefab, prefabName, definition, persistent)
Mob.RegisterDerived(basePrefab, prefabName, definition, persistent)
Recipe.Upsert(itemPrefab, definition)
World.SpawnNetworked(prefabName, x, y, z, rotationY)
World.DestroyNetworked(zdoId)

Use persistent registration for content referenced by world saves or inventories. The gold_mining example demonstrates the full registration path.

Zones

Client / Server; server-owned for authoritative gameplay

Zone.CreateCircle('arena', x, y, z, 30)

AddEventHandler('zone:onEnter', function(zoneName, peerId)
  if zoneName == 'arena' then
    Player.Notify(peerId, 'Arena entered', 'TopLeft')
  end
end)

Circle and polygon zones emit enter and exit events and are removed automatically when their owning resource stops.
