[TUTORIAL] So you want to put bloodsuckers on your server...

[Pavillin]

I have a question about "dzn_ns_bloodsucker_den". The range is 0 - 400. How does this number correlate with chances of spawning and number of bloodsuckers spawning? Is it a definitive number that sets how many are on the map?

 

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that it selects a random number between 1 and 400. If the random number selected is within the spawn rate number you choose then it spawns. So if you set the spawn rate to 200 then any random number generated that's above 200 will not spawn a bloodsucker, any number that's below or is exactly 200 will spawn a bloodsucker. 400 = 100% spawn chance, 200 = 50% and so on.

I have mine set to 15 and still get a healthy amount of them spawning.

Thanks for the explanation. What makes it confusing is that during a Google search, some sites say that top number is 100 while others say 400 but no clear definition of how it works and I haven't taken the time to look through the code to figure it out.

works nice

Hey there,

 

hope someone can help us here.

 

We have done everything step by step as explained above but to no avail.

 

There are no bloodsuckers there as well as there is no bloodsucker boss on the designated position (we took for this a player worldspace from the database)

 

Never mind ...it's working now.

how do you wordking？ my sever is Type ns_bloodsucker is not VehicleType
