How do Generators Spawn?

[Hydromancerx]

From what I have seen of build 32, even on custom maps like Bedford Falls, Generators will spawn on the ground. How is this done? I looked in the normal loot spawn table and did not see any Generators listed. So where is the code that makes them spawn?

It spawn in building type storageunit, garage and shed

I figured that's where, from experance in game, but when looking at the code I do not see it listed.

 

For example here for a storage unit.

    storageunit = {        all ={            rolls = 3,            items = {                "Base.Magazine", 2,                "Base.Newspaper", 2,                "Base.Lighter", 2,                "Base.BaseballBat", 5,                "Base.Cigarettes", 5,                "Base.Cigarettes", 5,                "farming.HandShovel", 3,                "Base.Vest", 2,                "Base.Shirt", 2,                "Base.Blouse", 2,                "Base.Trousers", 2,                "Base.Skirt", 2,                "Base.Shoes", 2,                "Base.Socks", 2,                "Base.Underwear1", 1,                "Base.Underwear2", 1,                "camping.CampingTentKit", 0.2,                "Base.DishCloth", 2,                "Base.Kettle", 3,                "farming.HandShovel", 2,                "farming.Shovel", 1,                "farming.WateredCan", 1,                "Base.Paintbrush", 1,                "Base.PaintBlue", 0.8,                "Base.PaintBrown", 0.8,                "Base.PaintCyan", 0.8,                "Base.PaintGreen", 0.8,                "Base.PaintGrey", 0.8,                "Base.PaintLightBlue", 0.8,                "Base.PaintLightBrown", 0.8,                "Base.PaintOrange", 0.8,                "Base.PaintPink", 0.8,                "Base.PaintPurple", 0.8,                "Base.PaintTurquoise",0.8,                "Base.PaintWhite", 0.8,                "Base.PaintYellow", 0.8,                "Base.PlasterPowder", 0.8,                "Base.BucketEmpty", 1,            },

So how is are they spawned on the floor?

They probably don't use the item spawn lists.

I think he is looking for the code that made the generator spawn on the ground

[SandyBeaches]

I think it is defined in the base code. Remind me to have a poke around some time.

I do not know if this is out of date, generator is called a IsoGenerator object.

It can be like a building object.

function ISGenerator:create(x, y, z, north, sprite)
	local cell = getWorld():getCell();
	self.sq = cell:getGridSquare(x, y, z);
	self.javaObject = IsoGenerator.new(self.item, getCell(), self.sq)
	self.javaObject:setActivated(false);
	self.javaObject:setCondition(100);
	self.javaObject:setConnected(false);
	self.javaObject:setFuel(0);
	self.sq:AddSpecialObject(self.javaObject);
	buildUtil.consumeMaterial(self);
	self.javaObject:transmitCompleteItemToServer();
end
