Failed To Get Enough Spawn Points

Pending 1.0.9

Can't create a custom profile to spawn 5 bots in an area.  Getting "FAILED TO CREATE ENOUGH SPAWN POINTS FOR PROFILE profilename" in the server console and nothing is spawning.  With the old BotSpawn, you could create custom spawn coordinates, enter the number of bots you wanted to spawn there, and it would just do it.  Not sure what to do with this new UI and why it's not as easy as before.  If someone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
The setup procedure is slightly different but probably easier in the long run.

 

To create a custom profile, use the chat command `/botrespawn add SomeNameHere`

You'll be immediately taken to the UI page for your new profile.
Set AutoSpawn true, day and night spawn amounts to what you want, then click 'Reload profile'.
The npcs should spawn.

If you want custom spawnpoints instead of random then you'll need to set `UseCustomSpawns` to true,
then click 'Edit spawnpoints' button in that same UI, and use the 'Add spawnpoint here' button to add spawn points at your location.
You need to add/move...add/move. That can be cumbersome with the UI open so alternatively you can click 'Add by command' then use the command `addspawn` in console.
addspawn/move...addspawn/move


Whichever method you choose, click 'Reload profile' for that profile in the UI, after adding enough spawnpoints, to spawn your npcs at their new locations.

Hi, Steen!  I created the custom profile and just tried to load it as-is with 5 bots in a radius of 10.  I still get the server console error "FAILED TO CREATE ENOUGH SPAWN POINTS FOR PROFILE profilename".  I've tried changing the spawn area to make it larger, but the lowest I can go is 30 and, at that point, they spawn too spread out.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

What's the area of the map you're at like?
The same as with BotSpawn, the npcs need navmesh and a clear view to the sky when letting the plugin find random spawnpoints
so creating a profile at, for example, the Dome (with a small spawn radius) or inside the LaunchSite building, isn't going to work.

Custom placed spawnpoints would work in those environments, though.

Thank you!  Didn't realize they needed a clear view of the sky.  Works great now.

Great, glad to hear it!
The spawn rules are different for manually placed custom spawn points, so if you need npcs inside monument buildings or in otherwise awkward places, that's an option.

Give me a shout if you have any more trouble. 👍
