HOW TO automatically spawn blobs (rooms, boulders, lanterns, zombies, etc.) per Map

Any idea why my portal only spawns zombies when I hit it rather than go near it

 

Try checking the difficulty settings in the portal config.

 

What should the difficulty ideally be? And do you mean portal config or Director config?

 

Yeah difficulty is only in Director

 

I think it is the director config, idk if this is how its supposed to work, but whenever you deal damage to the portal the difficulty increases, and that might be why zombies spawn when you hit it.

 

I want to make a loop to kick bots every 5 or 10 seconds, how would I format this to make it loop?

Code:

kick("BOT BOT");

BOT BOT is the bots names, since I changed them in the name config. Not sure how to code with this gamemonkey engine, but is that the right command and format to kick a specific player?

 

Simply make a variable, I am going to use Variable nLoop as an example.

Code:

global nLoop = 1;
while (nLoop == 1)
{
sleep(30.0);
kick("BOT BOT");
}

The sleep isn't needed, but it is used as a delay for the kick process(So it won't cause lag, not sure if it will though). This loop will kick the bots in a game every 30 seconds. Hope this helped.
Edit: Also the global part before the nLoop variable isn't needed either unless you plan on using multiple gms that use that variable.

 

Thank you so much. :D

 

oh，i want use /msg in the .gm.But it return error.Do you know how to use /msg in the .gm？
sorry，my English is poor

 

serverMessage("2. New Life Rule- You remember nothing from your past life");

 

OH thanks，and I found it in wiki.

 

Meteor shower function I made with the spawner function(Tips are including for .gm script newbies):

Spoiler: Meteor shower

Code:

global storm = 0;
global meteorshower = function(amount){
    if (shower == 0){ //If a meteor shower isn't accuring at the moment initiate the operation.
      shower = 1; //Tells the script that a meteor shower has/is activated.
      print( "Message" ); //Replace "Message" with a message that tells the user that the function initiated successfully.
      serverMessage( `First Warning Message` ); //Replace "First Warning Message" with a message that tells the players that a meteor shower is coming.
      sleep(10.0); //10 seconds is the default amount of time. Feel free to change it to whatever you like.
      serverMessage( "Last Warning Message" ); //Replace "Last Warning Message" with a message that tells the players that the meteor shower has arrived.
      spawner(1,1,mapWidth - 1,1,`boulder`,`Entities/Items/Boulder.cfg`, number, 3); //Meteors(Boulders) are spawned with the spawner function.
      shower = 0; //Tells the script that the meteor shower has stopped.
    } else { //If a meteor shower is accuring already, display this message.
      print( "Error: A meteor shower is in progress." ); //You can replace this with anything you would like to replace it with.
    }
};

I recommend that you make a custom boulder for this function as the classic boulders won't do much damage(If any.) and has a very low chance of hitting a player.

Edit: Here's a more advanced/improved version(I will add more tips later, I just don't feel like doing it right now. Disclaimer: This is pulled out from my .gm files themself, so some variables may be undeclared. Please tell me if there are any that I missed.), it uses a lot more variables than the one above, making it more complicated, but at the same time easier and quicker to customize:

Spoiler: Meteor Shower 2

Code:

//Meteorshower Function
global storm = 0; //Declares the storm variable with a value of 0 or false in boolean terms.
global meteorshower = function(numberRequested){
    amountSpawned = 0;
    x = 1; //These variables are used for the custom spawner function declared below.
    y = 1;
    if (storm == 0){ //If a storm isn't activated proceed.
      storm = 1;
      print( `Message` );
      serverMessage( "First Warning Message" );
      sleep(10.0);
      serverMessage( "Last Warning Message" );
      while(amountSpawned < numberRequested){ //This while statement spawns the meteors.
          meteorType = randint(1, 2); //This makes that amount of each meteor type random. If you want more meteor types, simply change 2 to the number of types you want and add another else if statement to the ones below.
          width = mapWidth - 1;
          height = 3;
          rX = randint(x, x + width + 1);
          rY = randint(y, y + height + 1);
          if(meteorType == 1){
            addBlob(`keg`,`Entities/Items/MeteorActivater.cfg`,rX*8,(rY+4)*8,4); //This makes the meteor explode on impact(Disclaimer: Doesn't work 100% of the time, but it gets the job done.)
            addBlob(`keg`,`Entities/Items/MeteorType1.cfg`,rX*8,rY*8,3); //I recommend you make the meteor types have different textures.
            sleep(1.0);
          } else if(meteorType == 2){
            addBlob(`keg`,`Entities/Items/MeteorActivater.cfg`,rX*8,(rY+4)*8,4);
            addBlob(`keg`,`Entities/Items/MeteorType2.cfg`,rX*8,rY*8,3);
            sleep(1.5);
          }
          amountSpawned = amountSpawned + 1;
      }
          storm = 0;
    } else { //If a storm is activated display this warning message to the admin(s).
      print( "Error: A storm is already activated, aborting the meteor shower function." );
    }
};

 

ROOM:：addBlob(`room`,`Entities/Rooms/TunnelRoomExample`, (X-2)*8+4 , (Y-2)*8+4, Team);

 

It would be kind of like mobs spawning in terraria if you did it only with zombies. e.o

 

Could I add outposts with this method?
