staggeredAISpawn

An eventCall to spawn multiple idAI2 entities, with a delay between each spawn, in an idEncounterManager.

Usage

item[0] = {
    eventCall = {
        eventDef = "staggeredAISpawn";
        args = {
            num = 6;
            item[0] = {
                eEncounterSpawnType_t = ""; // spawnType
            }
            item[1] = {
                int = 5; // spawn_count
            }
            item[2] = {
                entity = ""; // spawnGroup
            }
            item[3] = {
                string = ""; // group_label
            }
            item[4] = {
                float = 1; // minSpawnStagger
            }
            item[5] = {
                float = 5; // maxSpawnStagger
            }
        }
    }
}

• spawnType is the ai type that you want to be spawned. Multiple types can be listed, and the spawned ai types will be randomly chosen from this list.
• spawnCount is the number of ai you want to be spawned. To avoid overlapping spawns, spawnCount should be <= the number of idTarget_Spawns listed under your idTargetSpawnGroup.
• spawnGroup is the idTargetSpawnGroup you want to use.
• group_label is what label you want to give to the ai spawned by this eventCall. This parameter is optional, and can be left blank.
• minSpawnStagger is the minimum delay between each spawn, in seconds. This value also affects how soon the first spawn in this eventCall occurs.
• maxSpawnStagger is the maximum delay between spawns, in seconds.

minSpawnStagger must be <= maxSpawnStagger

Example Usage

item[0] = {
    eventCall = {
        eventDef = "staggeredAISpawn";
        args = {
            num = 6;
            item[0] = {
                eEncounterSpawnType_t = "ENCOUNTER_SPAWN_ZOMBIE_TIER_1"; // spawnType
            }
            item[1] = {
                int = 5; // spawn_count
            }
            item[2] = {
                entity = "game_target_spawn_group_13"; // spawnGroup
            }
            item[3] = {
                string = ""; // group_label
            }
            item[4] = {
                float = 7.5; // minSpawnStagger
            }
            item[5] = {
                float = 10; // maxSpawnStagger
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example, 5 Zombies will be spawned, with a 7.5 - 10s delay between each one.
