Module Spawn

-

Dynamic spawning of groups (and units).

This module contains the SPAWN class.

#SPAWN class

+

1) Spawn#SPAWN class, extends Base#BASE

The #SPAWN class allows to spawn dynamically new groups, based on pre-defined initialization settings, modifying the behaviour when groups are spawned. For each group to be spawned, within the mission editor, a group has to be created with the "late activation flag" set. We call this group the "Spawn Template" of the SPAWN object. A reference to this Spawn Template needs to be provided when constructing the SPAWN object, by indicating the name of the group within the mission editor in the constructor methods.

  • When designing a mission, NEVER name groups using a "#" within the name of the group Spawn Template(s), or the SPAWN module logic won't work anymore.
