Spawns a flock of Xenian flyers. They'll just fly around the place following a "leader" amongst them and avoiding obstacles – a simulation of boid behaviour.
Attributes
- Flock Size (iFlockSize) - Number of flyers to spawn.
- Flock Radius (flFlockRadius) - Contrary to its name, only sets the X and Y coordinate spread area from the entity's origin for the flock to spawn. Doesn't affect flocking behaviour afterwards.
- Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer / J.A.C.K. corresponds to Yaw. Monsters will spawn facing this direction.
None of the following attributes work, nor do they matter.
- Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
- Patrol Path or Target (target) - Name of a
path_corner
that the monster entity would start patrolling.
- Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:
- 0 = Normal
- 1 = Slow Pulse
- 2 = Fast Pulse
- 3 = Slow Wide Pulse
- 4 = Fast Wide Pulse
- 5 = Slow Fade Away
- 6 = Fast Fade Away
- 7 = Slow Become Solid
- 8 = Fast Become Solid
- 9 = Slow Strobe
- 10 = Fast Strobe
- 11 = Faster Strobe
- 12 = Slow Flicker
- 13 = Fast Flicker
- 14 = Constant Glow
- 15 = Distort
- 16 = Hologram (Distort and Fade)
- Render Mode (rendermode) - Controls the type of rendering that is used for an object. Options are:
- 0 = Normal
- 1 = Color
- 2 = Texture
- 3 = Glow
- 4 = Solid
- 5 = Additive
- FX Amount (0 - 255) (renderamt)
- FX Color (R G B) (rendercolor)
- Trigger Target (TriggerTarget) - The event to trigger when the Trigger Condition is met. Used by monsters.
- Trigger Condition (TriggerCondition) - This controls the condition under which a monster will trigger its Trigger Target. The options are:
- 0 = No Trigger
- 1 = See Player, Mad at Player
- 2 = Take Damage
- 3 = 50% Health Remaining
- 4 = Death
- 7 = Hear World
- 8 = Hear Player
- 9 = Hear Combat
- 10 = See Player Unconditional
- 11 = See Player, Not In Combat
- Animation Sequence (editor) (sequence)
Flags
None of these flags seem to work.
- WaitTillSeen (1)
- Gag (2)
- MonsterClip (4)
- Prisoner (16)
- WaitForScript (128)
- Pre-Disaster (256)
- Fade Corpse (512)
Notes
- Can't be controlled nor killed.
- Can spawn in deathmatch.
- Not affected by
func_monsterclip
.
- Disregarding flFlockRadius, the flyers always try to be between 100 to 256 units between each other.
- You can spawn a single
monster_flyer
, in which case the render properties would work.
