I create on my map 100 enemies and start to play. I want to make an 1 enemy randomly on the map every time I kill 1 enemy. so at any given moment I have 100 enemies on the map. Can i do it in GG?

Probably via a script ..
But 100 enemies on your map at the same time may be a real fps killer plus the fact it would probably just be erratic ?

100 is a lot. Not even Fallout 3 could handle that back in the day.

If your going to use 100 you must lower the textures and polys drastically. Keep in mind we are running on a 32-bit engine...

100 is too many for Game Guru, at least on a PC that most people will have access to and all at the same time. It would require as said above, low poly models and textures, also a different script to get them moving around than the default. The default soldiers all have LOD though, so poly count is not as much an issue with those.

Spawning is a lot harder than it should be in Game Guru. I've tried to write a spawning script in the past, but whatever I tried the re-spawned enemy never worked properly It re-spawned, but would never reset properly causing odd issues. It would be great if I could get that working properly, as it would really help with game speed if you want the illusion of many people attacking you, without having to load up 100 enemies

Unfortunately that is way to many to be all active at the same time. Waves of 10 to 15 in a specific area work a lot better.

Smallg has a script that will spawn wave of enemy for you and even keep a count on them.
It is in his script thread.

I never check the script threads. I always try to script everything from scratch. I should check the script threads, lol. I'll check out the thread, see what silly thing I missed to reset them Not that I need spawning enemies at present, but always useful at some point. It may even help with some AI stuff for when you move out of range. That always messes things up.

From my own experience too that's what I get, they don't reset correctly and move back and revert to the state they were in when they died (even being sure to script them to change back - I've even tried calling the init(e) again).

My wave script doesn't reuse enemies.

@smallg : I recently helped someone working on a good GameGuru game to reset their enemies properly when a trigger zone was entered, and it worked pretty well. Perhaps you can send me a small level with stock media showing the issue you are having and I will see if I can resolve the respawn issue for you.

@ Smallg. Ah That explains a lot. I wondered how you had managed to avoid the reset issue. I spent hours and hours with it to no avail. In fact as I type this I seem to be having dejavu, I may well have been here before , lol.

@ Lee, I actually sent my script to Ravey at the time, as it was for the indie competiton that went a little awry and I really wanted to get it working, but he said it looked fine. Still didn't work though

You guys are forgetting the magic word Get up Lazarus

I've experienced the same, even with Reloaded, they always back as zombies, and They are not as fun as before.
