Spawning an entity

[Faerghail]

Hi ,

What is the correct solution to spawn an entity ? in the exemple i would like to spawn a deamon head on a wall with name "head1"
I know i have to enter the coordonates ,the height, the facing ... what else ?

spawn("daemon_head",14,19,-1,1,"head1")

Thx

-1 is wrong also.

Code: Select all

 spawn("torch", 8, 15, 16, 1, 0,"DazUberTorch")
 spawn("asset", X, Y, Facing, Elevation, "name")

first is the asset you wan't to spawn
8 is the level, in the order that they are listed in your dungeon editor, the top most level being 1 and then going 2,3,4 as they descend down (don't mix this up with coordinates the tell the game how your levels and the minimap interact)
15 is the X
16 is the Y
1 is the facing (from 0 to 3 )
0 is the elevation
and then comes the name (and that's optional if you never need to call this again.)

Hey guys.

i have a question:). Its pretty the same but i just want to know how to let things "Despawn".

But for the editor Despawn is a nil value .

Thanks

Use Destroy(). In my example if i want to destroy my entity i use

head1:destroy()

for a monster , use kill()

Instead of fiddling with the coordinates, an easier way is to use an existing entity as an anchor, like this:

Code: Select all

pressure_plate_1:spawn("bread")

Works with any entity.

Another trick is to use the script as the anchor:

Code: Select all

self.go:spawn("bread")

oh that's great , thanks for this trick

what "Anchor" can i use for a spawn on a wall ?
