SurvivalWaveSettings

GameData_SurvivalWaveSettingsDataBlock_bin.json (filled)

Provides the settings for alarms, scout waves and similar types of waves (all referred to as "alarm" in sections below).

Fields

PersistentID value range is changed from default to 1-255

All time-related settings are specified in seconds.

m_pauseBeforeStart - Single

Delay before waves start spawning after alarm start.

m_pauseBetweenGroups - Single

Delay between enemy groups.

m_wavePauseMin_atCost - Single

Minimum score boundary for pauses between waves.

m_wavePauseMax_atCost - Single

Maximum score boundary for pauses between waves.

Above this threshold, the timer for a new wave doesn't move.

Anywhere in-between min and max, the timer speed is lerped.

m_wavePauseMin - Single

Delay between waves at or below minimum score boundary.

m_wavePauseMax - Single

Delay between waves at maximum score boundary.

m_populationFilter - List eEnemyType (enum)

List of enemy types in filter.

m_filterType - eEnemyFilterType (enum)

Whether to spawn only, or spawn all but the types included in population filter.

m_chanceToRandomizeSpawnDirectionPerWave - Single

Chance for spawn direction to change between waves.

m_chanceToRandomizeSpawnDirectionPerGroup - Single

Change for spawn direction to change between groups.

m_overrideWaveSpawnType - Boolean

Whether to override spawn type set in code.

m_survivalWaveSpawnType - SurvivalWaveSpawnType (enum)

The spawn type when override is set to true.

m_populationPointsTotal - Single

The total population points for waves. The alarm automatically stops if this runs out. -1 is infinite.

m_populationPointsPerWaveStart - Single

Population points for a wave at start ramp.

m_populationPointsPerWaveEnd - Single

Population points for a wave at end ramp.

m_populationPointsMinPerGroup - Single

Minimum required cost for a group to spawn. This setting is related to the soft cap of enemies.

m_populationPointsPerGroupStart - Single

Population points for a group at start ramp.

m_populationPointsPerGroupEnd - Single

Population points for a group at end ramp.

m_populationRampOverTime - Single

Lerp over time for start-end population point settings.

Regarding population points and soft cap

By default the game has some hardcoded values set that are used for score settings - cost of an enemy and soft cap.

Enemy costs per type are the following: 0.75 1 1 2 2.

Soft cap (MaxAllowedCost) is 25.

All aggressive enemies count towards cap. If the remaining allowed cost is lower than the minimum required cost of a group, the group cannot spawn and the wave pauses until enough points are available. The enemy type here is determined in EnemyDataBlock.

The enemy type for wave population point cost is determined by wave settings.
