Takeaways

• 🔨 To create spawn points for expansion AI, use Daisy Editor and a blank AI Patrol file.
• 🔄 Start by opening Daisy Editor and loading a map of your choice.
• 🛠 Always press 'home' to place your character on the ground before starting.
• 🔍 Use map zoom out to select a starting point for your spawn points.
• 🔄 Place a barrel as a visual marker for spawn points, noting that barrels may float but can be snapped to the ground by moving them.
• 🔍 Copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) barrels randomly across the map to create multiple spawn points.
• 🛠 After setting up spawn points, use 'file export' to save your work in different formats like JSON, events, or .map.
• 🔄 The .map format is recommended for ease of use, especially when editing in Notepad++.
• 🛠 Use Alt+drag to move and copy spawn point coordinates efficiently in the .map file.
• 🔍 Replace the highlighted coordinates with 'base,' to format them correctly for AI Patrols.
• 🛠 Paste the formatted coordinates into a blank AI Patrols file to complete the setup.
