Spawning a thing over another thing
If a thing is in a certain point, another thing can't be spawned on it.
I want to spawn a thing over another thing to create a pyramid.

Re: Spawning a thing over another thing
have you tried giving the thing a tag and then spawning the thing with a height that is above the other thing?

Re: Spawning a thing over another thing
Hmm, I have tried giving the Doom explosive barrels a zheight and stacking them in Doom Builder but they just spawn inside each other on the floor. 
Re: Spawning a thing over another thing
I believe the Z-height is relative to the floor, so a barrel set to a Z of 64 in a sector whose floor height is 128 would actually be spawned at a Z-coordinate of 192. ... Or maybe it's vice versa.CaptainToenail wrote:Hmm, I have tried giving the Doom explosive barrels a zheight and stacking them in Doom Builder but they just spawn inside each other on the floor.
Also make sure you're using Doom in Hexen format, not Doom in Doom format. (Which I'm sure you are because I don't think Z is an option in the latter...)

Try giving the map spot a z-height.

It'd end up acting like a cube.

Re: Spawning a thing over another thing
I put a SpawnSpot in a large room and gave it 512 height. I also wrote a restarting script to make a pyramid but it spawns 2 monsters only, one over the other.
