Controlling Monstermakers Created 19 years ago2005-07-11 16:38:46 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

If someone could clear this up for me it would be great... I am trying to spawn monsters in an "orderly fashion" as follows; 1) A monstermaker entity is triggered by whatever spawning some baddies. 2) Once ALL OF THE ENEMIES are killed, another monstermaker is triggered. How can I make this work? I want ALL of the monsters (in an existing "wave") to die before more respawn. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

a multimanager?
something like, its target be all the monsters spawned on the first monstermaker then make it trigger the second monstermaker....i think thats what it should be

In the monster_maker you can name the monsters it creates!(baby's name value) So when It creates a monster it will target a multi_manager that when his delay is over he will kill the headcrabs(maybe with the killtarget value)

or, you just have the monsters trigger a multisource on death, and have the Multisource set to trigger another monsteramker

woo i got it right!

That was his problem they don't have a trigger condition value!

The solution to this complicated. You won't actually use a monstermaker for your first wave, have your real monsters kept in a separate place and teleport them in. That gives you the ability to use their trigger condition...except you can't use the trigger condition to target a multisource. (I told you the solution was complicated) So you have to make each trigger condition target a hidden button that targets a multisource. When all the monsters from the first wave have died, all the hidden buttons have been targetted and the multisource targets your second wave monstermaker. Take a look at the rmf for LDSF in the Laser fun competition. The grunts are teleported in; when you have killed all the grunts (in any order) the ending sequence is triggered.

Gee, that's not confusing at all...
