Possible to specify tile for weapon pile in terrain?
« on: March 07, 2025, 08:00:30 pm »
Hey
I have a terrain in Alien Takeover, with player units spawning on several locations on the map (craft does not spawn). Is there a way to decide on which tile the weapon pile will spawn?

How do you want to do it if your don't know what map blocks will spawn (and where will they spawn).

In this case it's a semi static map, and the spawn blocks are always in the same place. I want the weapon pile in one specific map block.

If it cannot be done, it could maybe be made possible either by adding a terrain option that makes the weapon pile spawn where the first soldier spawns (who is usually in the front of the Skyranger) when there is no craft, or with an option on the terrain block to specify the exact tile. If multiple map blocks of that types spawn it could spawn in the first one / a random one.

Guess I'll be making a OXCE suggestion :)
