Object respawning: Difference between revisions

<translate>

Many materials, weapons and enemies in ''Breath of the Wild'' respawn after a certain amount of time to prevent the world from getting too empty. The exact respawn/revival policy is specific to each actor.

GameData flags that are used to track object revival are called "revival flags". They are always loaded, whether the object exists in the world or not.

Shop items are revived every day at midnight, assuming the following conditions are satisfied:

* the player is in none of the areas that are associated with the shop item; alternatively the player is not on MainField (on the main map)

* and, for items with the Arrow tag, the player has fewer than 50<ref>This is configured by [[ActorInfo]] (itemSaleRevivalCount property).</ref> arrows of the relevant type in their inventory

[1.3.1+] The inventory check function uses the player's real inventory data, not temporary quest inventory data. This means that warping into the Trial of the Sword or starting any other quest that temporarily clears the inventory in an attempt to trick [[GameDataMgr]] into restocking arrows no longer works.

Revival flags for shop items have their [[ResetType]] set to 3.

The revival map grid is used for shop items and for randomly-respawned items. It is slightly different from the regular map unit grid and features 10 columns (0..9) and 8 rows (0..7).

Given an item located in column <code>itemCol</code> and row <code>itemRow</code>, the player is considered to not be in its map area ''if and only if'':

* itemCol < playerCol1

* or itemRow > playerRow2

where the player column and row values are calculated as follows:

<source lang="c++">

int col = std::clamp(((signed int)x + 5000) / 1000, 0, 9);

</source>

This grid is shown on the object map. It is also possible to show the no-revival area for an object by right clicking on it.

This policy is used for most weapons and enemies. Every time a [[blood moon]] occurs, all associated revival flags are reset to their initial value.

Revival flags for objects under this policy have their [[ResetType]] set to 1.

Objects under the RevivalRandom policy will be revived at random times ''independently of'' blood moons. This is used for most materials (fruits, rocks, etc.)

Revival flags for objects under this policy have their [[ResetType]] set to 0 and the position of the object on the main map is stored in the upper 7 bits of the initial flag value.

Every 60 seconds<ref>Time spent in menus and cutscenes does not count</ref>, [[RadarMgr]] determines where the player is on the revival grid.

If the player is on AocField (Trial of the Sword):

* Special flags (with the reset data set to 127) are ''skipped''.

* Any other revival flag has a ''1% chance'' of being reset.

Otherwise:

* If the player is on MainField, special flags have a ''1% chance'' of being reset.

* In any other case, flags have a ''1% chance'' of being reset, but only if the player is not in the same map area as the object that is to be revived.

Drops of objects under the RevivalRandom policy will be revived at random times ''independently of'' blood moons. This is used for wooden boxes and other things that contain materials (fruits, etc.)

Revival flags for objects under this policy have their [[ResetType]] set to 0 and the position of the object on the main map is stored in the upper 7 bits of the initial flag value.
