Wave Trigger

Wave Trigger

The Runtime Spawner includes a complete wave spawning system, similar to Tower Defense games, and many other ‘hold & defend’ games and missions (Left 4 Dead, etc). The Trigger area is defined by a Box Collider (set to ‘Trigger’) as shown in the image below.

To Create a new Wave Trigger in the scene, click the ‘+’ button on the Wave Triggers section of the Runtime Spawner UI. This will automatically add a child game object for the Runtime Spawner and add the required components (Wave Trigger / Box Collider).

Note: Wave Triggers and Wave Spawnpoints do not need to be children of the Runtime Spawner object (new in 1.3.0). This lets you add them to additively loaded scenes or procgen tiles that are added at runtime at a later point.

Properties

Wave Spawn Point

The Wave Spawn Point component defines the location where AI Agents that have been spawned by a Wave (as triggered by the Wave Trigger component, above) will be spawned in the world.

Properties

Spawn Range

Defines a spawn area for this spawn point. A random spot within the range will be used to spawn the AI Agents. This range is visible as a scene view gizmo as shown below.
