Where should creature respawn heartbeat go?

Gooday all,

Where should I put the heartbeat script to check for and respawn creatures that have been killed. Area heartbeat or placeable heartbeat. If I do not use area heartbeat I will have no heartbeat slot for area events as this is the only thing I check on heartbeats.

Thank you for your time,

DJ-WoW

    Assuming you are working with more than one area, it would be better to avoid using multiple simultaneous heartbeats. Instead, you might consider doing this through other events (like OnEnter), writing a single central system for respawning in all areas, or writing an alternative method for time-delayed scripts.

    Gooday to ya,
    Wanted to thank you for your input/opinion. I am currently using heartbeat and we will see how that goes. I have a delay command respawn script
    On npc death written as a back up.

    Thanx again,

    Heartbeats used thusly are a lagfest.
