Tutorial for filling a region with asteroids:
The Steps:

Varible with number
local kNumAstLrg = 320(How many asteroids you want in the region)

Set up MemoryPoolSize

SetMemoryPoolSize("Asteroid", kNumAstLrg)
SetMemoryPoolSize("TreeGridStack", 650 )--kNumAstLrg*2.75)

Fill the region with asteroids

FillAsteroidRegion("Regionname", "Objectname", Number of Asteroids, Idk but I think it's the moving direction.);
FillAsteroidRegion("Ast_02", "spa_prop_jagged_asteroid_large", kNumAstLrg, 3.0,1.0,1.0, 0.0,-1.0,-1.0);

Create a region with the name Ast_02 in the ZeroEditor(you can call your region whatever you want. You just need to change it in the ZeroEditor too.)

It can look like this(Just a part of the LUA!):

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code] --  Level Stats

    ClearWalkers()

    AddWalkerType(0, 4) -- special -> droidekas

    AddWalkerType(1, 0) -- 1x2 (1 pair of legs)

    AddWalkerType(2, 0) -- 2x2 (2 pairs of legs)

    AddWalkerType(3, 0) -- 3x2 (3 pairs of legs)

    local weaponCnt = 1024

    local guyCnt = 32

    local units = 72

    local kNumAstLrg = 320

    SetMemoryPoolSize("Aimer", 200)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("AmmoCounter", weaponCnt)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("BaseHint", 73)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EnergyBar", weaponCnt)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityCloth", 30)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityDroideka",40)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityDroid",0)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityHover", 20)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EnityWalker", 20)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("CommandWalker",6)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityFlyer", 46)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("ParticleTransformer::SizeTransf", 1500)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("ParticleTransformer::ColorTrans" , 1784)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("ParticleTransformer::PositionTr", 1500)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityLight", 70)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntityRemoteTerminal", 26)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("EntitySoldier",guyCnt)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("SoldierAnimation", 200)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("FLEffectObject::OffsetMatrix", 120)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("MountedTurret", 70)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("Navigator", guyCnt)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("Obstacle", 150)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("PassengerSlot", 0)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("PathNode", 92)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitAgent", units)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitController", units)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("Weapon", weaponCnt)  

    SetMemoryPoolSize("TentacleSimulator", 0)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("RedOmniLight", 150)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("SoldierAnimation", 200)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("SoundSpaceRegion", 14)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitAgent", 128)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("UnitController", 128)

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo",50)              -- should be ~ 2x number of jedi classes

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::State",650)      -- should be ~12x #Combo

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Transition",650) -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Condition",650)  -- should be a bit bigger than #Combo::State

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Attack",550)     -- should be ~8-12x #Combo

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::DamageSample",6000)  -- should be ~8-12x #Combo::Attack

    SetMemoryPoolSize ("Combo::Deflect",100)     -- should be ~1x #combo  

    SetMemoryPoolSize("Asteroid", kNumAstLrg)

    SetMemoryPoolSize("TreeGridStack", 650 )--kNumAstLrg*2.75)

    SetSpawnDelay(10.0, 0.25)

    -- do any pool allocations, custom loading here

    if myScriptInit then

        myScriptInit()

        myScriptInit = nil

    end

    ReadDataFile("dc:GOS\\spa_sky.lvl", "geo")     

    ReadDataFile("dc:GOS\\GOS.lvl", myGameMode)

    SetDenseEnvironment("false")

    SetParticleLODBias(1500)   

    FillAsteroidRegion("Ast_02", "spa_prop_jagged_asteroid_large", kNumAstLrg, 3.0,1.0,1.0, 0.0,-1.0,-1.0); 

    [/code]

Don't forget to save!

Last not least you need to add the object name of the odf into the ABC.req
It's important because this object is not placed in the ZeroEditor otherwise no astroids will be loaded.
You can also try crazy things like other objects.

So but in this case:

Code: Select all

REQN
{
"class"
"spa_prop_jagged_asteroid_large"
}

Don't forget to save!

Done and it works!

Edit:
Now it does work.
I solved the problem with adding a class object into the req.

Hey, that's really helpful!

I had been wondering how to do this.
