Here’s another oldy but goody from Jands/Lude that used to be situated on their Herocity site.

Creating a Timed Spawn

I will be brief about the work in the editor but on a map create a new positional (i.e. positional_001).

In the script you will need to call the routine for the first time and define the spawn number:

def OnPostInit():
    Mission_SetAttr('thug_number', 0)
    regTimer('begin_spawn', 30)

Then you will need to create the spawning routine:

def begin_spawn(event):
    thug_count = Mission_GetAttr('thug_number') + 1
    type = 'thug'
    name = '%s_%d'%(type,thug_count)
    Object_Spawn(name, 'thug_with_bat', 'positional_001')
    moveTo(name, getNearestHero(name))
    Mission_SetAttr('thug_number', thug_count)
    regTimer('begin_spawn', 30)

This routine generates an originally named thug with bat (thug_1, thug_2, etc.) at positional_001. It will generate one every 30 seconds and the thug will move towards the nearest hero.

And that’s the tip of today courtesy of the Herocity crew. Enjoy.
