AutoPlacement event flows: Difference between revisions
subflows are handled in exactly the same way -- the only difference is that all subflows have to be in a single event flow file. (no multi file loading since that is something the Event Manager does)

A single event flow can be used to handle conditions for several actors (for example, AutoPlacement_Animal handles auto placement logic for all animal actors) and may be called several times, each time with a different actor name, which the event flow can check with the [[#EcoAreaActorName]] query. An actor will only be dynamically spawned if CreateData (and NearCreate?{{check}}) is called. | A single event flow can be used to handle conditions for several actors (for example, AutoPlacement_Animal handles auto placement logic for all animal actors) and may be called several times, each time with a different actor name, which the event flow can check with the [[#EcoAreaActorName]] query.
