Implementing Custom Resource Spawn Points on Your No One Survived Server

Last updated on Feb 19, 2025

Optimize your survival gameplay by defining custom resource spawn points where essential supplies are generated, ensuring balanced resource distribution on your No One Survived server.


📌 Prerequisites

  • A No One Survived server purchased at VolticHost.com

  • Access to the VolticHost Game Panel

  • Basic knowledge of scripting and configuration files

  • A text editor (e.g., Notepad, VS Code)


1️⃣ Writing Your Custom Resource Spawn Points Script

  1. Open your preferred text editor and create a new file.

  2. Paste the following sample code, which defines custom resource spawn points and a function to generate supplies at those locations:

    -- resource_spawn.lua
    -- This script defines resource spawn points and spawns supplies at these locations.
    
    local resourceSpawns = {
        { x = 100, y = 200, z = 0 },
        { x = -150, y = 50, z = 0 },
        { x = 300, y = -100, z = 0 }
    }
    
    function spawnResources()
        for i, spawn in ipairs(resourceSpawns) do
            local resource = spawnResource("FoodCrate", spawn.x, spawn.y, spawn.z)
            if resource then
                print("Resource spawned at: (" .. spawn.x .. ", " .. spawn.y .. ", " .. spawn.z .. ")")
            end
        end
    end
    
    -- Spawns resources every 5 minutes (300000 milliseconds)
    setInterval(spawnResources, 300000)
    print("Resource spawn script loaded. Resources will spawn every 5 minutes.")
    
  3. Save the file as resource_spawn.lua on your computer.

Custom resource spawn points script written and saved successfully!


2️⃣ Uploading Your Custom Resource Spawn Script

  1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

  2. Click on your No One Survived server.

  3. Navigate to the File Manager.

  4. Upload your resource_spawn.lua file into a dedicated directory (e.g., NoOneSurvived/addons/resource_spawns).

  5. Verify that the file appears in the directory and is accessible.

Custom resource spawn script uploaded successfully!


3️⃣ Integrating the Resource Spawn Script into Server Startup

  1. Navigate to the Startup tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

  2. Append your startup command with the parameter to load your resource spawn script, for example:

    +exec resource_spawn.lua
    
  3. Click Save Changes to update your startup parameters.

Server startup parameters updated to load the custom resource spawn script!


4️⃣ Testing and Verifying Custom Resource Spawn Points

  1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

  2. Click Stop to shut down your server, then click Start to relaunch it with the new resource spawn script active.

  3. Join a test session and observe if resources spawn at the specified coordinates every 5 minutes.

  4. Check the console for confirmation messages indicating successful resource spawns.

Custom resource spawn points are now active and functioning on your No One Survived server!
