MultiplayerBatteringRamSpawner

v1.4.8

Spawns the multiplayer battering ram and aims it at a gate along a path. The spawned ram has 12000 hit points. SpeedModifierFactor still scales its speed.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:MultiplayerBatteringRamSpawner. See Filter.

Where you put it

Use prefab batteringram_a_spawnerMP from Modules\Native\Prefabs\spawners.xml. Empty ToBeSpawnedOverrideName spawns batteringram_a (entity name minus the last _piece). Put a path entity in the scene and set PathEntityName to that path's name. GateTag is the gate this ram belongs to. SideTag is the wall side (middle on the siege map below).

What you set

Prefab order, after the hidden ground frame. The editor clamps SpeedModifierFactor to 0.8–1.2.

Panel field	What to do with it
SideTag	Wall side. Prefab empty. The siege map uses middle.
GateTag	Gate this ram drives at. Prefab empty. The siege map uses outer_gate.
PathEntityName	Path the ram follows. Prefab Path. The siege map uses ram.
BridgeNavMeshID_1	Navmesh id on the bridge. Prefab 8.
BridgeNavMeshID_2	Second bridge id. Prefab 8.
DitchNavMeshID_1	Ditch id. Prefab 9.
DitchNavMeshID_2	Second ditch id. Prefab 10.
GroundToBridgeNavMeshID_1	Ground-to-bridge id. Prefab 12.
GroundToBridgeNavMeshID_2	Second ground-to-bridge id. Prefab 13.
AddOnDeployTag	Tag added when the ram deploys. Empty.
RemoveOnDeployTag	Tag removed on deploy. Empty.
SpeedModifierFactor	Multiplies min and max speed. Prefab 1. The siege map uses 1.2.
EnableAutoGhostMovement	Editor ghost walks PathEntityName. Prefab off.
ToBeSpawnedOverrideName	Prefab override. Empty uses batteringram_a.
ToBeSpawnedOverrideNameForFireVersion	Unused here. This spawner has no fire version.

The prefab also saves wait_pos_ground. That row is hidden. Move the ground-wait ghost; the matrix is what gets stored.

What it does

Spawns batteringram_a, sets its hit points to 12000, scales speed by SpeedModifierFactor, and passes the gate, side, path, and navmesh ids through to the ram.

Where it lives

Managed script. Prefab batteringram_a_spawnerMP in Modules\Native\Prefabs\spawners.xml. Used on the multiplayer siege maps under Modules\Native\SceneObj.

Examples

Outer gate, faster ram. Native\SceneObj\mp_siege_map_003. One batteringram_a_spawnerMP, tag mp_siege_objective_battering_ram. SideTag middle, GateTag outer_gate, PathEntityName ram, SpeedModifierFactor 1.2.
