In the FOT Editor. Is there a way i can get certain computer players to keep respawning forever? i know the preserve trigger makes the trigger run forever. But how can i spawn more computer players? ex. i put 3 BOS warriors on my map. when they die. i want them to instantly respawn again. how do i do that?
Respawning Actors?

As far as I'm aware you can't, but you can put umpteen actors on a map, and set them as deactivated. Then as and when you need them set the triggers to make them stationary anywhere.
Set up your player indexes so that you've got them in little groups (however many you want to activate at a time) i.e. 3 actors per player index, then put them on a neutral team and set the computer AI for all but the first 3 actors to deactivated.
Then when the first 3 die have a trigger set up to check to move the next player index (the next 3) to stationery at anywhere and change their team from the neutral one to the hostile one.
Set up the rest of the triggers the same, but adjust the player index each time.
You'll also want to deactivated each player index once each group of actors gets killed otherwise your map will quickly fill up with dead bodies.
The actors will not spawn in the same place unless you set up a waypoint and then as well as moving the player state to stationary move them to that waypoint as well. Though be careful you don't teleport an actor into a wall or other tile as this might cause the game to crash.
Otherwise if you set triggers to always I think they reset if you leave and re-enter a mission. Which might resurrect the dead, but I've never tried it.

The dead are only resurrected due to the whole map being reset in the campaign when you visit a location a second time. This 'glitch' can be retained if you do want a map that will not change but it can be buggy and gets really boring. To get a map to change permanently OTB sugests the use of variables at http://jj86.nma-fallout.com/EDITOR_README2.htm#Triggers

Hi there.
i'm playing with a concept for an FoT map where the player faces off against endless waves of enemies. Noobish questions follow:
Can I make an spawner to create infinite enemies?
Can I put a timelimit on map completion?
Can the enemies be made aware of player location on spawning, not on seeing him?
Any help much appreciated.
Ed.

1, No you can't spawn infinite enemies, you need to put all you enemies on the map but have them set to deactivated until needed.
2, Yes you can set up a timer and, if the timer reaches 0 then it triggers the end of the mission.
3, Well you can always set up waypoints and lead the enemy to the player. Or you can use the communication settings so that any enemy that is engaged with the player will draw in any reinforcements who are in communication range.
