Spawn Remapping ​

Spawn triggers allow spawning triggers with new groups with Spawn Remapping.

Remapped triggers spawn triggers with groups remapped to other groups.

Remapping does not change the IDs of triggers, it creates independent copies of triggers (called instances) with new IDs.

IDs are not discerned by their type (Item ID, Block ID, Group ID, etc), they are all treated the same for the purposes of remapping.

The main purpose of spawn remapping is reusing triggers, but it has many more uses thanks to its versatility.

Remap Rules ​

An ID can be remapped to a single other ID at a time. If an ID is remapped to multiple IDs within the same trigger, the highest (last in the list) New ID is used.

If a Spawn trigger with remaps is activated by another remapped trigger, it adds its remaps to it. The new remaps overwrite previous ones if Original IDs are duplicated.

  • [x] Target Group ID, Center Group ID
  • [ ] Effect ID, Color Channel (Area Tint)

Enter Tint Effect

  • [x] Enter Channel, Effect ID
  • [ ] Color Channel

Notes ​

Pulse ​

You can remap what groups or color channels are affected, but not the copied channel. Pulse's Color ID is the color channel affected by the trigger and Channel ID is the copied channel, the names of the options are swapped for the Color trigger.

Spawn ​

Spawn ID and New Group ID can only be remapped from another Spawn trigger. New Group IDs will not be remapped by other spawn triggers if using Reset Remap.

Edit Adv Follow ​

Edit Advanced Follow has no effect on type 1 Advanced Follow. Target GID is the group ID of the target object. However, with Target Control ID selected Target GID is the control ID of the Advanced Follow Trigger.

Re-Target AdvFollow ​

Target GID is the group ID of the Advanced Follow trigger being re-targeted, not the target object.

Sequence ​

Without Unique Remap, any activation of the same Sequence trigger advances the same (single) counter, regardless of remaps. With the option selected, every remap origin has its own Sequence counter, allowing for multiple concurrent instances of Sequence from the same trigger. Despite the name, if you call the same Sequence trigger with two spawn triggers with identical remaps, they will not share the same counter.

Song ​

Custom Song ID can also be remapped, and any downloaded song can be played.

Songs played via remapping will not show in the download list however.

Without mods or scripts you are not able to type an ID higher than 999999, which makes choosing an Audio Library song difficult.

SFX ​

Custom SFX ID can also be remapped, and any downloaded SFX can be played.

SFX played via remapping will not show in the download list however.

Gradient ​

In editor preview, remapping the ID has no effect. However, in playtesting, remapping the ID makes the gradient not spawn.

Legacy Enter Triggers ​

It does not seem like you can spawn these triggers as of version 2.208.

Remap Inheritance ​

Triggers that spawn groups also pass on their remaps to the activated triggers. In other words, the spawn target inherits the spawn trigger's remaps.

Spawn triggers with remap inheritance

  • Instant Count
  • Item Compare
  • Collision
  • Instant Collision
  • Random
  • Advanced Random
  • Sequence
  • Event
  • On Death
  • End
  • Touch
  • Keyframe
  • Count
  • Spawn
  • Time

Notes & Exceptions ​

Count ​

Yes if Multi Activated is selected, otherwise the target inherits the remaps of the oldest subsequent multi activated Count with the same ItemID.

Spawn ​

Yes, unless Reset Remap is selected.

Timers ​

Remaps of Time triggers are stored inside timers.

Remaps can only be assigned when the timer is initialized, Time triggers update the timer's settings and groups, but not the timer's remaps.

The only way to clear these remaps is to use a Stop trigger on one the groups or control IDs of the last Time trigger called for that ItemID.

Pause, Resume and Time Control will not reset remaps.

Assigning a value to a timer Item ID with Item Edit creates a paused timer instance with no remaps.

Instant Collision ​

Resets remaps prior to version 2.208.

Time Event ​

Makes the timer with the given Item ID spawn a group, so the spawn uses the timer's remaps.

Checkpoint ​

Cannot be remapped, resets remaps.

ID Limits ​

Spawn remapping allows you to remap any ID value, except identical IDs. Out of bounds IDs are limited only when a trigger is spawned.
