On your xmlspawner when you go to props on it its set to true homerange relative something like that what does that do do i leave it false or true .

If you set homerangerelative to true, then the Home location of the creature is the location where it was spawned.
If you set homerangerelative to false, then the Home location of the creature is the location of the spawner.
The homerange is the maximum distance that the creature will travel from the Home location.
So with homerangerelative true, the creature can wander up to that distance from its original spawn point and with homerangerelative false, the creature can wander up to that distance away from the spawner location.

I had fun figuring that out. I had guessed that's what it did, but I wanted to make sure. These are the steps I followed to see if I was right.

- added spawner to spawn 10 mongbats
- set spawn range to 10 and homerange to 0
- respawned all mongbats (they all stood in place)
- set homerangeisrelative to false
- respawned all mongbats again (this time they walked to the spawner)

It was quite amusing to watch... but I was pretty bored that day.
