[Guide] How to create a Neutral Creep Spot v.1.0
(this guide was made with HoN v.2.0.13.3)
Introduction:
Hey guys,
I guess a lot of people are still waiting for some guides to create
their own map. Now this guide will teach you how to create your
own Neutral Creep Spots so that you can fill your Jungles with
all a Jungling Legionaire is dreaming of.
First of all, sry but my english isn't the best, so if you find heavy mistakes
or want to rewrite it into a perfect language version feel free to ask me.
How to create a Neutral Creep Spot
What will we need?
1 x Entity_NeutralCampController
3 x Entity_NeutralCampSpawner
You will need 1 Controller for each Neutral Creep Spot you want to create
and 1 Neutral Camp Spawner for each SINGLE creep it can spawn.
Now let us start with creating one "Entity_NeutralCampController" and
setting his properties up. (The "Entity_NeutralCampController" is the point
from which the game will check if the creep spot is blocked or not)
Name:
First of all you can set up the name for this Controller, you don't have to
bug I suggest and prefer to name them for example like this "l1_controller"
the " l " stands for Legion so a Hellbourne Creep Controller would be named
"h1_controller" and the 2nd Creep Controller "h2_controller" you get the idea.
Team:
There you can choose the team for your creep spot. I allways used "None"
because I used the creep spots from Forest of Caldaver to learn and that's
how it is done there. (Maybe someone can explain what the difference
between "None", "Neutral" and "Passive" is.)
Level:
The Level represents the color on the minimap or let me say the difficulty
of this creep spot. We will use for our creep spot "2" because ogres are
not that easy =) (It will be a yellow point on the minimap)
Here are all setting for level:
1 = Easy (green)
2 = Medium (yellow)
3 = Hard (orange)
4 = Ancient (red)
Type:
We did allready set it up by creating a "Entity_NeutralCampController"
Model:
We use the model "tools/m.mdf" which looks like sweet candy =)
Skin:
You can change the color of your candy, I use "blue" for Controllers/Spawners.
Target #1...4:
We skip all targets and come back later to this point.
Config:
In config you can set up the maximum number of possible stacks
(everybody knows creep stacking I guess). We want basicly maximum
3 stacks so we write: "maxstacks:3"
You can change the number to whaterver you want, gues only your engine
will be a limit to it ;)
Furthermore you can add "chasetime:X" where X stands for the time (in ms) the creeps will
chase you if you pull them out. So a possible setting is "chasetime:3000" so the creeps will
follow you for 3 seconds. If you don't add the chasetime the creeps will use a default
value (which I actualy don't know, maybe someone can help). If you use "maxstacks:X" and
"chasetime:Y" you will have to sperate them by using a " , ". Thanks to dandylon (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=57049) .
Now we are done with the Entity_NeutralCampController for the moment.
It should look like this (**Note*** In this picture I allready fill "Target #0"
you will do it too but later in that tutorial so you can leave it free until you
reach that point. )

Now we have to create our creeps. We will make a creep group of 3 ogres
( 2 melee green ogre and 1 caster blue ogre) so we will have to create 3
Entitiy_NeutralCreepSpawner ( one for each creap )
Let us start with the first one and set its properties up.
Name:
The Name should be something self explaining for example we use
"l1_creepgroupname_enumeration" where creepgroupname stands for our
creepgroup, we want a group of ogres so it will be "ogres" and the
enumeration helps us to identify the creep (the game needs unique names
or it can't differentiate between them). We will name the first ogre like this:
"l1_ogre_A"
Team:
"None"
Type:
Allready set up.
Model:
We create the blue caster oger as the first one so the model will be:
"npcs/n_ogre/model.mdf"
You will have to scroll until you find the category "npcs/n_" which are all
the neutral creeps you know from HoN.
Skin:
Leave the skin as "default".
Target #0:
Now we set up the "Target #0" as the following one:
"Neutral_Ogre"
Every single creep has his own "target" they are similiar to the model name
but case sensetive and sometimes are creeps with two names like a Wolf
Commander written as one word like this "Neutral_WolfCommander" some
others would be splitted into this "Neutral_Ogre_Leader". Check the list at
the end to know which creep has which target.
Now we are done with the first Ogre.
It should look like this:
http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/467/tutorialjunglep2.jpg
We continue with the next ogre. Again a "Entity_NeutralCampSpawner".
It will be like the first one we only change the following things everything
else stay as in the first ogre.
Name:
"l1_ogre_B"
Model:
"npcs/n_ogre_leader/model.mdf"
Target #0:
"Neutral_Ogre_Leader"
It will look like this.
http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9489/tutorialjunglep3.jpg
The last ogre will be a green melee ogre like the 2nd one. So we can simply
copy the 2nd one and we only need to change...
Name:
"l1_ogre_C"
Like this.
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4407/tutorialjunglep4.jpg
We have our creep group. Now we need to go back to our
"Entity_NeutralCreepController" to the "Target #0...4"
The Target's represent the possible creep groups which can spawn at this
creep spot. So you can only have a variety of 5 groups at 1 creep spot.
You can create 5 different group or you can create 4 groups of ogres which
are all the same and 1 group of wolfs so you have a chance of 80% to get
ogres and only 20% to get wolfs.
Okay now we write into "Target #0" our 3 ogre names, seperated by a " , "
Target #0:
"l1_ogre_A,l1_ogre_B,l1_ogre_C"
Now we have created a complete creep spot. To have more
variety create other groups like skeletons or wolfs, do like with the ogres,
find a good matching name like "l1_wolfs_A"... find the model (mostly
matching model name with ingame name) and setup the "Target #0".
Don't forget to add every creep group for a creep spawn to its CampController.

**Important Notes**
- You should move your "Entity_NeutralCampSpawner" close to the
"Entity_NeutralCampController" because the Creeps will spawn at the point
where their spawner is and if it is to far away from the controller the creep
spot will stack itself.
Keep them close like this:
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/9008/tutorialjunglep6.jpg
- Always you have to write something into the entity box you are
writting in becomes red, to apply the changes after writting you have to
press "return" after that the box will become normal again.
- Everything in " " that you have to write into the properties have to be
written without the " ".
- A creep spot with 5 different groups will be look like this, a big fat cluster:
