I am trying to limit the number of a certian spawn I have on the map based on the number of players in the game.
To do this I created a global variable called maxspawn and currentspawns. maxspawn is modified as players log in and log off. I have a loop setup that I am trying to get to monitor the currentspawns variable and when it drops below the value in maxspawns it will create a new spawn. This code should do it.
/proc/Random_Spawner()
while (currentspawns < maxspawns)
var/dest = pick(random_spawn)
new /obj/red_rock(dest)
++currentspawns
sleep 50
The question is how can I make this proc watch the maxspawns variable the entire time the world is running and run the code in the while loop if needed?

I cannot for the life of me get this code to work
world New() ..() Random_Spawner() I know that the Random_Spawner proc works fine because when I put it into a verb it is fine. As a test I tried this world New() ..() world << "Hello World" And I get nothing??? What am I missing? | |

You've almost got it...
world
New()
..()
Random_Spawner()
proc/Random_Spawner()
while (currentspawns < maxspawns)
var/dest = pick(random_spawn)
new /obj/red_rock(dest)
++currentspawns
spawn(50)
Random_Spawner()
... assuming your other pieces are in place. This will bump up your spawns to the maximum once every five seconds.
