Specials Addon Overview

What It Is

The Special Encounters addon provides conditional, rule-based spawning for dramatic or reactive events.

What It Does

• Triggers specific spawns based on conditions

• Adds variation and surprise to encounters

• Operates alongside baseline spawning systems

When To Use It

• Boss or elite enemies

• Reactive gameplay (based on player state)

• Breaking up repetitive patterns

How It Works (High-Level)

Special Encounters:

• Evaluate rules and conditions (time, state, etc.)

• Trigger spawns when conditions are met

• Respect cooldowns and caps

Typical Use Cases

• Flanking enemies when pressure is high

• Snipers when player health is low

• Mini-boss after sustained combat

Works Well With

• Spawn Director (step-based gating)

• Waves (layered encounters)

• Spawnpoints (controlled placement)

When NOT To Use It

• Core spawning behavior

• Always-on systems
