Random Spawns Adjusted

This mod allows spawning random entities around players every few seconds or by using a command. Entities are set in various categories (edibles, mobs, weapons, bosses, etc.) which have configurable spawn chances.

Random spawns are disabled for dead players, and a command can be used to disable certain players from getting them too.

Spawn chance is weighted against the total of all other categories. For example, if weapons category is set to 10 and armor is set to 40, there is a 20% (10 / (10 + 40)) chance for a weapon to spawn and an 80% (40 / (10 + 40)) chance for an armor to spawn. Entries under the same category currently all have equal spawn chances (e.g. all bosses have equal chances to spawn).

Missing prefab? Got a suggestion? Found a bug? Leave a comment or start a discussion! This is my first time uploading a mod so all feedback is appreciated :)

Commands

Each command starts with GetRandomSpawner() in order to access the mod's spawner, followed by the name of the function to call and must be entered in the console. For example, GetRandomSpawner():Start().

[table] [tr] [td] Start() Stop() [/td] [td]Start or stop the spawn timer.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td] DisableFor(player) EnableFor(player) [/td] [td]Blacklist a player from getting random spawns. The blacklist is empty by default and persists on server refresh.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]SpawnRandomOnAll()[/td] [td]Manually trigger random spawns on all players. This is the same command the spawner uses on a timer.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]SpawnEntityOn(prefab_name, player)[/td] [td]Spawn an entity on a player.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]GetRandomEntity()[/td] [td]Get a random prefab name registered in the mod's spawn lists.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

Note: All random spawns are based on the configured weighted chances.

Possible future updates

Let me know if any of these future updates interest you, any other suggestions are welcomed:

• Commands to spawn from certain categories only.
• Find a way to allow users to customize the individual entities under each category.
• Tweak spawn settings so different categories spawn entities at different ranges (e.g. items appearing under players, but not bosses).
• Add a despawn timer for indestructible structures.
• Add missing prefabs to the spawn lists.
• Add more complex spawns (e.g. multiple items at once, configured entities such as Poison Birchnut Tree, etc.).
