Development Forum metaroom and agent packs    Mad Scientist clohse        9/2/2013 I am working on a metaroom but wanted to release certain plants and animals included in the room as extra agents that can be injected into other rooms as well. My question is should I use different classifiers for the separate agent than for the one included in the room or just use the same one? Thanks for your opinions. CLohse's Norns at the Creatures Repository   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     9/2/2013 When I did something similar with the Silence Falls mushrooms, I kept the same classifier. After all, I don't think one would inject the standalone agents into the same world as the metaroom. Though I guess it really boils down to personal preference. ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Senior Wrangler Nutter   9/2/2013 I can't see a problem with using the same ones - the only thing would be if you want the ability to selectively delete the agents from your metaroom while leaving them in other metarooms; I think that would require different class numbers. (Unless there's some fancy way for an uninstall script to work out where something is before deleting it.)   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     9/2/2013 It is personal preference, though I'd tend to re-use the same one unless there are some kind of differences in the agent's scripts between the metaroom and standalone versions. Otherwise why eat up your classifier slots with exact duplicates? There are indeed ways to check an agent's location before deleting it.
