This looks pretty useful, especially the Tags and Max Generated NPCs settings. Nice work!

Choccycon's devkit made me realise some tiny bugs were in here! So have v1.0.1.

Unzip it in your episode/level folder and put this in your luna.lua file:

Code: Select all

local extraNPCProperties = require("extraNPCProperties")

Right click any NPC in the editor and scroll down. If you have it installed correctly, you should see the options there.

Could you add an option to make an NPC spawn like a Projectile Cheep Cheep?

You can do:

Code: Select all

for _,v in ipairs(extraNPCProperties.getWithTag("myTag")) do
	-- my code here
end
