    Since we can't share custom POI's or server events through the workshop I figured I may as well share it here :) Also noticed posting in blueprints area is permission based.



    Instructions on use:

    Download the blueprint and save it in your prefabs folder (either in single player, Your scenario, or in your Content folder)

    group name is pvearena

    Insert this group name into a playfield.yaml (planet or moon) We use an event planet so we have it there.

    Code:
    
    - GroupName: pvearena
       CountMinMax: [ 1, 1 ]
       DroneProb: 0
       DronesMinMax: [ 0, 0 ]
       ReserveCount: 0
       TroopTransport: False
    
    
    Insert Trader Information into your Trader Config (can be customized of course but these are our TEST values)

    TraderNPCConfig.ecf is located in one of these folders depending on your setup
    • Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Configuration
    • Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Scenarios\Scenario Name\Content\Configuration
    • Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Configuration
    • Empyrion - Dedicated Server\Content\Scenarios\Scenario Name\Content\Configuration

    Code:

    A few tips:
    1. You MUST be in godmode to start this event as the switches are all located in the control tower!
    2. Flip the start event switch ONLY one time and only AFTER you have turned on the spawners and verified creatures spawned.. Turning on will start the event, turning off will also start the event. Turn it off then on and you will have a very strange event running lol so dont do that. Wish we had momentary push buttons that just changed states every push. One push for on, one push for off.
    3. Main Doors and spawners are operated by switches in the control tower. All other operations are automated using logic Circuits.
    4. LCD Panels in control tower and on center building act as indicators and will tell you what stage the event is in.
    5. The event has 3 stages, 12 levels of Difficulty. It is intended for 6 people (one of which will drive the hv you will have to manually place in the HV Bonus Bay)
    6. Event lasts approximately 18 minutes but it feels like 10 because final 4 levels are a bit tough.

    I can't believe nobody has responded to this awesome build. Dude, this is a great idea. I had no idea you could do timers with those sensors (i'll never figure that out... ever) This should be a good event on the server.

    You can turn that into a scenario and share it in the workshop, just need to remember scenarios can't use area files so you can't have bases underground unless you set them to change the terrain around them like POIs do.

    You can also share the planets on your server that way.

    I actually plan on building a scenario eventually as I have quite a bit of it ready to go. Only reason I have not done it yet is because editing the pda is REALLY time consuming currently.
