Sleeper Respawn Delay Control

7DaysToTry

Refugee
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows how to control the amt of days before sleepers respawn (after clearing out a structure for example). I remember I was able to change this value in A16, but I'm not sure which (if any) file to look in for A17.

Thanks!

 
I posted a thread (or perhaps a reply in one, it was some time ago so i don't remember clearly) about having an option to change it in sime way. I DID check the files in A16 and don't recall finding any such variable, although i'm no specialist so i might have missed it.

If there is a way to control it, it would be cool, but noone replied to my request at the time.

It is not possible to add the sleeper group in spawning.xml?

Like this?

<day value="*">

<property name="EntityGroupName" value="sleeperHordeStageGS1" />

<property name="Time" value="Any" />

<property name="DelayBetweenSpawns" value="3" />

<property name="TotalAlive" value="10" />

</day>

Dunno if you have to enter this every gamestage. Probably and that would be a bit annoying.

 
Your are right .... no sleepers in there my bad.

Although there is this entry and others below it that have the properties in your post in spawning.xml

<!-- Zombie POI Spawners -->

"SpawnExtraSmall"

SpawnSmall and so on .....

 
So this may work

Code:
<configs>
       <set xpath="/spawning/entityspawner[@name='SpawnExtraSmall']/property[@name='DaysToRespawnIfPlayerLeft']/@value">5</set>


</configs>
Change the 5 to whatever and repeat code for other spawn sizes

I've attempted to change this setting a while back and I noticed it wasn't sticking. No matter what I put for the number, they would always respawn after 5 days. I don't know if they fixed it in the newer version of A17, but I would test this to make sure. I may do this my self :)

I have not tried it so feel free and let us know the outcome it may still be bugged then ...hopefully they fixed it

Just tested. Set all spawners with <property name="DaysToRespawnIfPlayerLeft" value="15" />.

Went into a newly loaded poi

Killed everything

Left the chunk

Sped up time from day 1 to day 8

Went back to same POI

Zombies Spawned

Unless this is not the way to do it, I don't think it was fixed unfortunately :(

 
RIP :( the multiple land claim block update isn't stopping spawns in POIs (besides the first one) so hopefully they will address this

 
I tested this back in the day also, with a few settings i found in the XMLs. If things haven't changed, i'm not sure they ever will.
