Created page with "ActivateGenerator( [GeneratorNum]) Starts a generator that has been defined in the .GEN file by Index. === Arguments === '''GeneratorNum''' - Index of Generator defined in..."

New page

ActivateGenerator( [GeneratorNum])

Starts a generator that has been defined in the .GEN file by Index.

=== Arguments ===

'''GeneratorNum''' - Index of Generator defined in .GEN file

=== Example ===

<nowiki>
40: // open exit door with switch
ChangeSideTexture(1636,"SWIT1U");
AreaSound(6007,-16,516,300,255);
ActivateGenerator(1);
End();
</nowiki>

-===Creating .GEN Files===
+=== Notes ===
-Every map must have a .GEN file, but most maps are empty. GEN files are only created when monsters need to be spawned in through scripting. Generators are almost always used for multiple monster spawners, but are occasionally used to spawn single items. One example is Quest 2 Map 1 in "Knights of Andrew". The Key is generated.
+Creating [[GeneratorFiles|Generator Files]]
-−
-Generator files contain indexed rows of Generator entries. They are referred to in script by their index.
-−
-====Format====
-Generator lines follow the following format:
-'''[G] [ObjType] [X] [Y] [Angle] [EverySeconds] [PlusRandomSeconds] [MaxObjects] [MaxLikeObjects] [Active] [MaxGenerate]'''
-−
-'''G''' - G is an identifier that this line is a Generator. Only lines starting with "G" are considered valid generator lines
-−
-'''ObjType''' - Object Type to spawn. Use list of [[Thing Numbers]] as a reference.
-−
-'''X''' - X position on level
-−
-'''Y''' - Y position on level
-−
-'''Angle''' - Angle of object. This is an in game angle system, angles seem to be fractions of 60000. Needs verified
-−
-'''EverySeconds''' - Time between spawns in Seconds
-−
-'''PlusRandomSeconds''' - Additional time between spawn
-−
-'''MaxObjects''' - Maximum number of objects of this type allowed in level. If more exist, generate attempt fails.
-−
-'''MaxLikeObjects''' - Maximum number of objects with the same Base type in level. If more exist, generate attempt fails.
-−
-'''Active''' - 0 to start off. 1 to start on
-−
-'''MaxGenerate''' - Total number of times the generator can successfully generate an object before permanently shutting off. Does not reset when deactivated and reactivated.
-−
