No Spawning on Contested

Introduction
This mutator prevents enemies from spawning at currently contested flags. This means that if you are capturing an enemy flag, enemies will no longer spawn at flag and sneak up on you and assassinate you.

A flag is considered contested when the flag is in the process of being captured. E.g. 2 Eagles vs 4 Ravens at a Eagle flag. IT IS NOT CONTESTED when the amount of friendlies to enemies is equivalent or less. A good way to determine when it is contested without counting is determining whether the flag's capture progress is moving.

This mutator does not affect the player. You can still spawn at contested flags.

FAQ
Isn't this just a copy of "Limit bot respawn?"
While this mutator DOES appear to do the same thing as "Limit bot respawn," it handles enemies spawning at contested flags a bit differently. According to what I've seen on the mutator's comment page, it silently kills enemies that spawn at contested flags. That means triggering other mutators that listen to kills AND potentially imbalancing the game because those enemies do not spawn anywhere else.

In this mutator, enemies that spawn at a flag that is being contested WILL be teleported to other non-contested flags INSTEAD of being killed. If all flags for the team are contested, then the members of that team will not be killed and are disabled UNTIL a flag is available for them to spawn at. If preferable, you can configure this for enemies to spawn anyways regardless of contested status.

Is this mutator laggy?
If you are experiencing performance drops due to this mutator, that is because all flags for a team are currently being contested. When all flags for a team are being contested, the mutator has to constantly check to see if any flags are available for dead enemies to spawn at. As such, this MAY cause some lag HOWEVER it should not be enough to CAUSE massive performance drops. It is also such a niche scenario that a player will not encounter often so you will likely never experience this.

There might be an FPS hit whenever bots spawn; however, this should only be the case if you have a poor-performing or low end computer. From my experience, it is unnoticable.

That is determined by the map creator's spawn points as spawn points are set by them. If they are spawning only in one place, that's due to how the map creator set it up.

Can you make a mutator where the bot wll spawning around the flag instead of spawning in one place.

Since steam research isn't the greatest, does anyone know if there's a mod to spawn bots or respawn even without allied flags? (btw this mod sounds great)

:steamthumbsup:. If you are subscribed to the thread, I'll be commenting here when I make that feature so be on the look out!

I wasn't even referring to custom maps. I honestly haven't gotten into that much yet. I've mostly just played default maps that come with the game.

Anyway, if there's no mod like that then this should still do fine thanks.

Well again, it depends on the map creator. These are spawns that are set beforehand so it's up to the creator to be placing these away from the flag. I'm guessing that if the alternative spawns aren't detected or something then Ravenfield just spawns them on the flags as a fallback. That or the map creator is literally putting the spawns on the flag for some reason.

I could try making a feature in the mutator that does exactly what you want which is spawning specifically on the outskirts of a flag, but that'd be at my pace.

Maybe I'm unlucky or unobservant, but in my experience all bots and myself spawn relatively right on a flag. It's not like battlefield or other similar games where you spawn like 100 meters away out of sight.

The vanilla game actually already does something similar to that. There are separate spawns for soldiers put into place when enemy contestants are at a flag. It's just up to the map maker to utilize those separate spawns correctly.

This is awesome, thank you. Is there a similar mod though that makes soldiers spawn on the outskirts of a flag, rather than just not being able to spawn at all?

It's more fun when there's resistance while I'm capturing, rather than no one spawning the moment I touch the flag. But I also obviously don't like how quickly a big squad will spawn right on top of me and insta kill me without this mod.

Record a video showing the mutator being enabled by itself and then play a game showing the issue happening.
