Tin Presents: The Interval Between Wandering Hordes

Recommended Posts

As an aside:

Could we maybe get the [interval=""] to work at some point, for BloodMoon hordes? It works for the wandering hordes, but not the bloodmoon hordes.

Just would be a cool 'add' if you could.

Putting in an Interval works with wandering horde?? Does this mean you can dictate frequency of wandering hordes? Like “Interval=4” would be every 4 hours you get a wandering horde? I hope this is what you meant.....I’ve been wanting to increase frequency forever but was told once a day was hard-coded. I’d love to see your line that you added to the gamestages.xml to make it work.

I know a few people who would appreciate knowing how to do that. Any chance you could share that info?

 

PM sent along with the other person.

Not trying to hide it. Just trying to follow(ish) the rules, in not fully discussing and going in depth with modding and all that jazz, in the DD.

 

edit: Just keep in mind, it is what I have found through testing, and what I am seeing happen ;)

@tin

could you send me that as well.

i normally use screamers to get the effect i want.

problem is they can bring in too many zombies if they are not killed right away.

 

Pm sent.

edit1: Maybe sent? doesn't show I sent it to you.. I'll try again. Sorry if you get a double.

edit2: heh, clean your inbox ;)

That's why I couldn't send it.

well hell lol

 

Intervals are in seconds(ish). Duration's are in game hours.

 

(Please keep in mind I haven't fully tested everything out in this)

 

If you set up the wandering horde into waves like:

 

<spawn group="[insert your wandering horde group here]" num="3" maxAlive="64" interval="15"/><spawn group="[insert your wandering horde group here]" num="2" maxAlive="64"/>

In this example:

It pulls 3 zombies from the first group (wave 1) and spawns them. After 15 seconds, it will spawn 2 zombies from that 2nd group (wave 2).

^Tested and works^

 

From past discussions: I've been told that a maximum of only 3-4 wandering hordes can be called in a 24hr game day. That's 1-3 (or 4) wandering hordes at random times of the game day (something like that)

 

Theoretically: You should be able to make 1 long wandering horde, but broken up into how many "waves" it spawns, throughout a whole game day using the intervals.

 

Only thing I have left to do, is test out that 1 wandering horde, but broken up in one game day bit

 

Hope that answers what you need.
