Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.

animations

Type: AnimationVariations

max_count_of_owned_units

Type: uint32
Count of enemies this spawner can sustain.

max_friends_around_to_spawn

Type: uint32
How many friendly units are required within the spawning_radius of this spawner for it to stop producing more units.

spawning_cooldown

Type: array of two double
Ticks for cooldown after unit is spawned

spawning_radius

Type: double
How far from the spawner can the units be spawned.

spawning_spacing

Type: double
What spaces should be between the spawned units.

max_richness_for_spawn_shift

Type: double
Max richness to determine spawn shift. Spawn shift is linear interpolation between 0 and maxSpawnShift.

max_spawn_shift

Type: double
Caps how much richness can be added on top of evolution when spawning units. (See also [1])

pollution_absorption_absolute

Type: double

pollution_absorption_proportional

Type: double

call_for_help_radius

Type: double

result_units

Type: table of UnitSpawnDefinition
Array of the entities that this spawner can spawn and their spawn probabilities. The sum of probabilities is expected to be 1.0. The array must not be empty.

Optional properties

dying_sound

Type: Sound

integration

Type: SpriteVariations

min_darkness_to_spawn

Type: float
Default: 0.0

max_darkness_to_spawn

Type: float
Default: 1.0

random_animation_offset

Type: bool
Default: true

spawn_decorations_on_expansion

Type: bool
Default: false
Whether spawn_decoration should be spawned when enemies expand.

spawn_decoration

Type: CreateDecorativesTriggerEffectItem or table of CreateDecorativesTriggerEffectItem
A single CreateDecorativesTriggerEffectItem or an array of them. Decoratives to be created when the spawner is created by the map generator. Placed when enemies expand if spawn_decorations_on_expansion is set to true.

Mandatory values

Enemy spawners have additional requirements for the properties inherited from Prototype/EntityWithOwner:

• Prototype/EntityWithOwner#is_military_target must be true.
• Prototype/EntityWithOwner#allow_run_time_change_of_is_military_target must be false.
