While I wait for my old topic to receive an answer for my major question about my crashing in LevelEdit ( http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=28541&start=0&rid=2 3806), I have a question about AI spawners.
I'll just ask the questions about AI spawners.
1. If you add more of the same soldiers to the presets for spawning, will it change the probability of the spawning soldiers?
2. Do the soldiers spawn randomly, or from top to bottom?
3. Why don't other bots spawn when I change the AI Testing spawn presets? (Minigunner and Officer for GDI, and Officer with Nod)
4. Does only 1 bot spawn for each spawner?
i) How do I change it? Or must I add more spawns?
5. (Somewhat unrelated to spawners) If you set the sight levels of a bot to an extremely high amount, does it see through walls to players?
6. Should you attach scripts to soldiers?
i) What types of scripts are recommended for higher performance of bots?
I appreciate any answers.

It is random, and only spawns one at a time, you add more by adding them to the spawn list, make sure IsSoldierStartup is UNCHECKED. Put Spawnmax to -1, make the Spawn times 0.

No it does not, it always has its sight limited by objects, but using scripts like M04_Hunt_Player will make them find the player regardless.

Yes you can, but I do not suggest it until you have checked at least once that all the spawners are working correctly, as an incorrectly deployed script could crash Renegade.

4) In case you didn't understand it from Jerad's post. Only one bot spawns from a spawner at a time. When that bot dies then it starts the countdown until the new bot spawns. They'll keep spawning until they reach a set number you picked or infinitly.

I see.
Oh, another quick question, but it seems that Hunter decreases the bots' awareness, compared to Hunt The Player significantly.
Is there a solution to this, possibly another script to attach?
Thank you.
