Hello -
Hope the 2 files i sent you were of some use.
Was that you? You didn't identify yourself using your forum nick, so it was hard to be sure. Thanks for taking the time.
They were of use insofar as there was nothing suspicious in either of them, which further cast the shadow of blame on the ankheg spawn scripts.
I did as you asked in your previous post & all seems to be working okay, I was only getting 2 Ankhegs at a time after adding your script file.
OK. Although once a spawn point spawns ankhegs after the new script is in play, that should be the last time you see ankhegs
at that particular spawn point. The actual number of ankhegs is tied to the game difficulty setting you use (if you are getting two, you must be playing at Core Rules IIRC).
If I did in fact guess the cause of the original bug correctly, what was happening was the following:
* You visit the map
* Ankhegs spawn
* You leave without killing them
* You return later after a number of in-game days have passed
* The spawn managers, failing to detect the last round of ankhegs due to their hide-in-ground behavior, spawn another set
(the ankheg hide-in-ground behavior is why this problem was confined to ankhegs only)
* Cycle repeats until you actually wander by the spawn point and encounter the ankheg swarm
Just a thought, will this have any effect on other areas which have Ankhegs in, ie random encounters, when you exit Nashkel mines & the Ice Isle in TotSC.
Some ankhegs in the game are not spawned -- they are literally defined as actors in the ARE. Those ankhegs are totally unaffected.
Any ankhegs spawned by the EasyTutu spawn system will only spawn once per spawn point using this updated script. If it seems to correct the problem for everyone, I'll assume I guessed the problem correctly and will roll the updated script into the next EasyTutu release.
Thanks again for coming to our rescue.
No problem. Thanks for the help. And I haven't forgotten about your other, past bug reports. Most of them are tied to the dialogs I have yet to edit to finish off the journal work, and I do hope to get back to it soon.
