Editing Spawn Entries

        You can edit these entries in 3 different ways.

1. Add Dino's to the default spawns = ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer
2. Subtract Dino's from default spawns = ConfigSubtractNPCSpawnEntriesContainer
3. Override will remove default Dino's from the spawn and only spawn the Dino's you add to your code = ConfigOverrideNPCSpawnEntriesContainer

       Lets add Griffin's to the Mountain spawn.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer=( NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString="DinoSpawnEntriesMountain_PGM_C", NPCSpawnEntries=((AnEntryName="Griffin_Spawner", EntryWeight=1.0, NPCsToSpawnStrings=("Griffin_Character_BP_C"))), NPCSpawnLimits=((NPCClassString="Griffin_Character_BP_C", MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow=0.05)))

Understanding the code

When adding your finished code to your configuration file keep it as one line.

ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer= This part of the code decides what to do with the rest of your code.

NPCSpawnEntriesContainerClassString= This is where you place the spawn entry you want to edit.

NPCSpawnEntries= This is where you edit first half of your Dino code.

• AnEntryName= This is where you set a name for the spawner. This can be anything.
• EntryWeight= This is a float Weight Factor for this spawn.  Higher numbers mean this Dino will spawn more often.
• NPCsToSpawnStrings= This is where you place the creature ID you want to spawn.

NPCSpawnLimits= This is where you edit the second half of your Dino code.

• NPCClassString= This is where you place the creature ID you want to edit.
• MaxPercentageOfDesiredNumToAllow= This is where you set the percentage of this Dino you want to spawn in this spawn entry.

 

NOTE: EntryWeight, Percentage, and Other Dino's that spawn in same entry work together to decide the outcome of how your Dino spawns. For more help use the links above or comment below.

Thanks! Is it possible to somehow add static meshed or more types of biomes to it?
