Generator Settings

Quick Lesson: Generators are the objects that actually create the AI characters in the game.  These Generators work using certain variables so that they know not to put too many bad guys into the level at once.  Generators are also used in multiplayer as the player spawn point.

Quick Lesson: NPC is another term for AI.

Setting the Global Generator Settings can be done by clicking on Edit > AvP Generator Properties. This will open the Global AvP generator properties. The Global Generator Settings will affect all placed Generators in your level, but you can set individual generator settings for each placed generator.

Here you will find five entries:

  1. Enemy Generated: Is your level mainly generating Aliens or Marines?
  2. Max NPCs Generated: How many NPCs will your generators produce?
  3. NPCs Generated Per Minute: How many NPCs will your generators produce per minute?
  4. Change in Generation Rate Per Minute: By how many NPCs will your "NPCs Generated Per Minute" increase every minute?
  5. Hive State Change Time (seconds): How often will Hive State change?

When you are done, click on OK.
