Waypoint spawn

TheTinman

Is it possible to place one waypoint in an area in multiple places and get the same creature to spawn at each waypoint?

Yes. Assuming every waypoint has the same tag, you can use the second parameter of GetObjectByTag to refer to each one uniquely.

Notice that the first waypoint is number 0, not number 1!

For example,

int n = -1;
object oWay = GetObjectByTag("my_waypoint", ++n);

while (GetIsObjectValid(oWay)
  {
    CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "my_creature_resref", GetLocation(oWay)):
    oWay = GetObjectByTag("my_waypoint", ++n);
  }

Thank you. I couldn't get that figured out.

Hit a snag.

while (GetIsObjectValid(oWay) is causing an invalid declaration type error.

TheTinman

void main()
{
int n = -1;
object oWay = GetObjectByTag("my_waypoint", ++n);

while (GetIsObjectValid(oWay))
{
CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_CREATURE, "my_creature_resref", GetLocation(oWay));
oWay = GetObjectByTag("my_waypoint", ++n);
}
}

This fixed it. Thanks alot. It works great.

Here you go mate, not a lot of great coders left around these days willing to do the real work...
