Hey, BotReSpawn is meant to catch when there's no navmesh and prevent spawning the npc but, obviously, that's not happening all the time ^. The solution really is either to make your npcs stationary or make sure they have viable navmesh near their spawnpoint, but if it's possible to hook me up with a map and location where this happens, for testing, I should be able to improve the checks and stop this happening...hopefully.

Ok, thanks for the info. It looks like both of those npcs have customised names which would suggest either a plugin is spawning them, or modifying them. It might be worth getting close to one and doing `/botrespawn info`, or just reloading BotReSpawn, to 100% confirm that's not where they're coming from.

Hi, Are you sure they're not put there via your custom map or BotReSpawn, or some other plugin? "As far as I know NPCKits shouldn't be affecting any scientistnpc_roam right now, as I don't think they spawn anywhere by default." I think this is still true but, of course, will happily check to confirm.

Thanks for the feedback. This is all stuff I worked on for this update. Hopefully, the balance across all weapons should be much better now. There should no longer by any OP weapons. However, I realise that some server owners liked having OP long range weapons or melee weapons, so I've added in options to increase the damage of melee/long range, to allow for that. Bows were never supported but are in the next update, along with a lot of other weapons. Shotguns are now categorised as short-range weapons, because it makes more sense. I've made changes so no npc should use a short range weapon for long range. If the npc doesn't have a bolty or l96, he should start running towards the victim player to get closer, before firing. Bolty/l96, and bows, also have a brief pause-before-fire that they never had before, which should be much more natural, as if they're taking a moment to aim. I've DMd you about testing, before release.

Hi, Entries for all the default monuments on your map are created automatically when you install the plugin. Any custom profiles you'd like to add are added by using the chat command `/botrespawn add SomeNameHere`, which then creates the needed info in the appropriate data file and opens the UI for you to edit that new profile. Almost everything is then customised through UI - The only exceptions are text entry options so, in short, you should only ever need to manually edit json files if you want to add custom text such as custom npc names, or spawn announcements. From a fresh setup the bare minimum you need to do to get spawning npcs /botrespawn - Open the UI Click 'default profiles' Click a monument name Click 'AutoSpawn' true Click reload profile All other customisations, bar noted exceptions, can be made via UI in the same way, but none is essential for getting basic npcs to spawn. Edit : Also note, by default night time spawn amount is zero so either test during the day, or turn that up above zero.

Hey @Rezanow The first is because there's a deaggro duration built in. If there wasn't people could activate/deactivate npcs by just finding that boundary. They should stay locked on to you for around 20 seconds or so, regardless of distance, then ignore you if you're outside their deaggro range. The second - That shouldn't happen any more as of the next version. (1.0.7) I've put a bit of work into their targeting and made some improvements there. Thanks for pointing these out!

Hi, It's more likely BotReSpawn is spawning a new npc to make up numbers due to the changes between day/night/day. When you have one of those at 0, respawn times longer than the day/night interval aren't going to work, because the plugin would kill all remaining npcs moving into night, then spawn 7 fresh ones moving in to day. If you'd like some npcs to be able to be killed during day, for example, and have a respawn timer that could make them respawn at night, or the next day, you'd need to increase the night population above zero, so that there should be nps (the same npcs) throughout that time period. Hope that makes sense.

@KingSizeKevin- There's no option to disable it, as such, but it's in minutes and you can set it as high as you like, effectively disabling it. It only applies to npcs which don't have a spawn limit - Like events and toplayer calls. There's nothing to stop there being no players online and airdrops every hour. Airdrop npcs would just keep coming until the place was swimming in them, or performance suffered. Regular autospawning profiles with a fixed amount of day/night npcs don't suicide.

Hi Butler, Thank you! Sorry, I can't imagine making respawn timer global. One of the main strengths of BotReSpawn is that every profile has so many customisable options. Usually people have quite a few things to change, such as kits, spawnpoints, health, accuracy, damage, roam range, etc, so It makes sense to keep respawn timer with all those, per profile. I'm not sure of the names but I think there are plugins out there which allow you to place entities around monuments. Maybe someone reading this will know the names?

Hi, The present data set wouldn't allow for that but I could add an additional category called PVPDeaths to facilitate it. I think a lot of people weren't bothered because quite often in PVP you die to fire, explosion, turrets, falling, bleeding, where technically the 'attacker' isn't another player, but if you think it'd be a valuable or popular option to have I can add it.

@[email protected] You can 100% ignore this until the next version. It's of no consequence at all, but thank you for reporting it.
