Spawn Point Question...

If I drop a random item on each of the spawn points in a single room...
When I kill all the mobs, does the room stay empty until I leave?
Or, can they respawn through the bag?

:twisted:

Being low level always makes me brainstorm...

:lol:

That is a very interesting question... I would think they would respawn, but that depends on whether the game engine treats items on the map differently than pc/mobs

From the looks of the map editor tutorial page, since items and spawn point locations are considered separate layers, I would say that no, dropping items would not prevent spawns. However, feel free to test that theory :P

Yes they will respawn.
You may only block the spawns with your hero.

If we go multiplayer something like this could be done. :lol:

They will respawn even on top of bags.

The things that restrict where monsters cannot spawn are:
  • Other monsters
  • The player
  • Tiles that are not walkable
  • Tiles that belong to a mapchange area
Good question though, Nyktos :)

To complete the list you should add:
  • Other monsters
  • The player
  • Tiles that are not walkable
  • Tiles that belong to a mapchange area
  • Tiles that are not included in any monster spawn area ;-)
