Prepare For Descent!

Matcen Tut

There is no need to run DALLAS to get a matcen working... but the setting are many and not default.


First, name the room you want the matcen in, using either Room properties or 'IO', and take note of the face you want to the effect to spawn from. The spawned object will spawn at the room center.

Windows>Matcens opens the Matcen dialog,

'Attach' tab: 'Attach type': set to 'Room and faces', 'Attach Room/Object': your matcen room. For 'Spawn points' enter 1 or more in 'Quantity', then list the face(s) below that.

In the 'Produce' tab, set Number of Object types to 1 or more, then you can select the objects from the drop-downs. Set Qty. to the total number of each object to be produced in the life of the Matcen. When to produce is self explanatory, below that you must set the Maximum objects produced and Number of Alive children to 1 or more. Don't forget to check the 'Enabled' box!

There is no need to change anything in the 'Display' tab, but you can change the visual and sound effects here if you want.
