Revision as of 17:02, 26 July 2010

asw_Spawner is an entity available in Alien Swarm which is a spawn point for multiple aliens of a specified type

Keyvalues

Name: The name that other entities refer to this entity by. not needed unless you want it triggerable
Allow spawn if marines are near: see 'Prevent spawn if marines are this close
Start Burrowed: if Yes the spawn alien will play the unburrowing animation.
Unburrow Idle Activity: The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
Unburrow Activity: If alien starts burrowed, he'll play this activity while unburrowing.
Prevent spawn if marines are this close: If 'Allow spawn if marines are near' option is set to 'No' this distance is used for the nearby marine check.
Long sight range: If set to 'yes', aliens from this spawner will be able to see and sense enemies twice as far away as normal.
Alien Orders: Orders given to each alien spawned.
Alien Orders Target Name: Name of the target object for our orders (used by move to and move to ignoring marines orders).
Name to give spawned aliens: useful if you want to control the spawned aliens via triggers and such
Note: when triggering the spawned critters the names are automatically given a number after the name when they spawn. ex. YourNameHere1 or YourNameHere_1 so to control them all trigger them by YourNameHere*
Check Spawn Point is Clear: Should We Check to make sure nothing is on out spawn point? ex. box's, aliens, marines
Min Skill Level: The minimum skill level for this spawner to function. Skill levels are: 1=easy 2=normal 3=hard 4=insane 0=nolimit
Max Skill Level: The maximum skill level for this spawner to function. Skill levels are: 1=easy 2=normal 3=hard 4=insane 0=nolimit
Max Num. Of Live Aliens: Maximum number of live aliens that can be present in the level from this spawner at any given time.
Num. aliens we can create: The number of aliens that can spawn before the spawner is exhausted.
Infinitely spawn aliens: self-explainatory
Spawn interval: Time in seconds between each alien spawning.
Spawn interval variation: Percentage variation applied randomly to the spawn interval each time an alien spawns. Value must be between 0 and 100. The default 25 will give a 25% variation to the spawn interval, so a 1 second spawn interval would actually be randomly between 0.75 seconds and 1.25 seconds.
Alien Class: Which type of alien to produce from this spawner.
Alien Health scale: Multiplies the alien's default health by this amount. ex. 0.25=25%, 5=500%....
Alien Speed Scale: Multiplies the alien's default speed by this amount. 1=normal 0.5=50% or half speed....
Spawner State: Spawner's initial state

Flags

Infinite even on Easy mode
Don't Spawn Uber aliens here as in non of those random near unkillable ones
Spawned Aliens never sleep no hibernation... always try to get to player

Outputs

OnAllSpawned: Fired when the Spawner has Spawned it's max number of aliens.
OnAllSpawnedDead: Fired when the spawner has spawned it's max number of aliens AND they are all dead.
OnSpawned: Fired Each time the Spawner Spawns an Alien.

Todo: add and explain OnUser1-4

Inputs

SpawnOneAlien: Ignores Max Alien count from this spawner and spawns one alien of the predefined type.
StartSpawning: self-explainatory
StopSpawning: self-explainatory
ToggleEnabled: if Disabled enable else disable.
ToggleSpawning: if spawning stop spawning else start spawning.

Todo: add and explain Inputs
