Hi,
My english is not very good, so i hope you could understand me.
Very compliments for the xmlspawner... i love it very good work
But i have some problem ç_ç
I'd make a bank secured by a guard,
I have make a switch to open the caveau, -ok
I have make a spawn triggered by the id of the opened door (or also for the props "open=true), -ok
So the spawner spawn and the guard spawned start to patrol the waypoints to the switch for check... ok
the problem is:
i culdn't make the guard Standing beyond the Door, If the switch are actived the guard start to patrol the waypoints, then, if as not been killed by the thiefs, return on standing beyond the door, that's for all times of the switch is pushed...
what can i make?
I hope my english is not so bad when i think... ç_ç
thanks for any ideas/help you could give...
bye

Sounds like you want it to either
1) have the guard move behind the door after it has completed patrolling
or
2) despawn the guard after it has completed patrolling
I'm not sure which.
To set properties on a spawned object, you can use the SETONSPAWN keyword
"SETONSPAWN[,spawnername],subgroup/prop/value/..."
so if you are trying to set properties such as the Location on your guard spawn, assign the guard spawner entry to subgroup 1, then use something like
SETONSPAWN,1/location/(100,200,0)
if it is on the same spawner, or
SETONSPAWN,otherspawnername,1/location/(100,200,0)
if the guard is being spawned on a spawner named 'otherspawnername'
