| Interesting topic. There is no repop radius that I know. But there is the random location check box. When using it, repop radius is implicit when you design the group. Make a group of five creatures. Place four in a square shape, and space them to have 3 tiles of separation from each other. Then place a fifth creature like ten tiles away from the four. Be sure random location mode is set. The five creatures are covering a rectangle that is like 5x16 tiles big. This rectangle is their implicit repop area. Get in game. Kill the group and wait. Each of the five creatures can reappear on any of the tiles originally covered by the rectangle that enclosed the group as placed in the editor. The wider the rectangle, the many more tiles away from the initial location each creature may repop. If you turn random location off, instead, each creature repops at the same tile always, but only if the tile is not taken by other creatures or a wall of earth. If repop tile is taken, the creature will not repop ever again. When a group loses a creature in this way, the group is doomed and will not repop once it is vanquished. -fox |

| It's about 8 years ago that I made a map where accidently groups respawned on the wrong place. Don't remember if it happened randomly or mostly at the same region, but the solution had something to do with setting the repop range in a more narrow circle. Today I tried an older map from Alsurus|Peacemakers: Town of heaven, and there something simular happened. So I looked at it in the editor but... there seems no way to set a repop range in a circle! So I thought, maybe I mixed it up with rom1, and looked at the rom1 editor: nope, no respawn circle. But in the rom1 editor I could not find the repop time either and I'm sure repop time could be set there. So, are there more versions of the editor and am I using the wrong one(s)?, is it a shortcut I don't see? Is it the age? :/ Anyone any clues here? |
