I cannot get downtimes to work. I've tried setting the "downtime multiplier" 100 and setting individual objects downtime to 180, but nothing seems to affect the actual downtime. I must be missing something, but I'm stumped.
-
I've gotten it to work before. I set the downtime multiplier to something like 0.0625 and stuff like radar only stays down for 8-9 minutes. I haven't played with individual downtimes, just the multiplier.
If you set it like you've shown, I believe the three-hour (180 minute) downtime is multiplied by 100 and the object will stay down for 18000 minutes.

That's what I want it to do, but it keeps coming back. Basically if something is destoryed I want to stay destroyed for the entire frame.

Downtime Multiplier is a global param affecting all objects...
Object downtime is a decimal minutes based param for each type of object (Arena Wide)
I think we are confusing here the global multiplier with the object downtime
The global downtime multiplier multiples all downtime's set in the object settings (minutes down)
Step 1: Go to Objects > Object Settings to effect a change on an object type's down time in minutes...think the max value is 360
Step 2: If you want global control (rarely used and ostensibly deprecated)...then go to Environment > Arena Settings and ramp up the multiplier (default is 1.00)
This simply multiplies the downtime's of all object types in the Objects > Object Settings downtime's...which you set in step 1 above...
If you don't want stuff to pop back up simply set that objects downtime in the Objects > Objects Settings to 360

Thanks for the info. That's how I thought it worked and setting the global multiplier should have done the job. I'll try it again tonight.

The global modifier worked. I must have just goofed it the first time.
