unique animals

[seras66]

Hey just a quick question im trying to add a unique animal that doesn't despawn until it is killed im pretty sure once i leave the area with it in it doesn't come back ive looked for it for ages any clues?

Only squads that have a home (town/building/nest) do not despawn.

[EDIT] also unique doesn't mean he will not despawn, means he will only spawn ever once in that game.

ok thanks

does that mean if you visit the area dont kill him and return later he wont be there?

[Ocram]

Unique has the only function to prevent double characters, once one unique is spawned no other can spawn, so yes, he will despawn if he has no home. If you are trying to spawn him in the wild you should spawn a nest instead, with that character tied to it.

Ive sorted it out now i just had to set him as a raoming squad of a near by town he doesn't disappear now thanks for the help.

ok i thought i fixed it but now its spawning more than 1 at a time even with the unique setting on and i cant see how to add it to anything with out more than 1 spawning i'm confused.

how do i add it so only 1 can spawn with out it going away forever after i leave the area even if i dont kill it

This is a bit vague...
Create a character as unique, create a squad and assign that character to it (make sure the number of chars to spawn is 1), assign that squad to a town/nest.
This would be in theory what you should do.

ah thanks i didn't change the squad number to 1
