Worldwide Systems

This section is for settings that affect the worldwide spawning system of mega_entities.

The worldwide system has different strategies to populate the world with entities.

​
Replacement System

This system is still active in the script for those who still want to tinker with it, however it’s advised not to use it since it causes Ped Pool crashes with OneSync. It’s suggested to use Zones or WorldGrid instead.

​
Configuration parameters

​
Enabled

This option allows you to disable / enable it.

​
replaceWith

This option allows you to specify how peds will be replaced with mega_entities and how likely it is. Example:

replaceWith = {
    ['example1'] = 0.5
}

There will be 50% probability that a ped will be replaced with example1 entity.

​
inVehicle

Allows replacement of peds which are on wagons.

​
onHorse

Allows replacement of peds which are on horses.

​
debug

Activates / deactivates replacement system debug logs.

​
Worldgrid System

The worldgrid system is one of the most advanced systems to keep your server populated with entities without having to spawn hundreds of entities all over the world.

​
How it works

The worldgrid system divides the world into chunks which are pupulated only when players get into them. They also serve the opposite purpose, once a chunk has no players all entities inside will be removed to keep the ped pool as empty as possible.

​
Configuration parameters

​
spawnCooldown

Entitis will be re-spawned after the amount of time specified in the cooldown timer. This can happen when they get killed or removed to avoid too frequent spawn/despawn.

​
chunkUpdateRate

How frequently chunks will be updated, affects the performance significantly. Unless you know what you’re really doing don’t change this setting.

​
maxChunkPop

Max number of entities inside a chunk.

​
chunkPopulation

Table defining which and the probability of entities that will be spawned inside a chunk. Example:

chunkPopulation = {
    -- ['entityType'] = probability [0.0, 1.0]
    ['infect1'] = 0.9, -- 90% probability that it will spawn
    ['gunslinger'] = 0.1
},
