redeyesandlonghair Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Basically I'm wondering how NPCs come into existence, and when they cease to exist. When do NPCs first appear? Is it when I walk into a cell for the first time? or are NPCs constantly being spawned all over the world, and then doing things in the background that the game keeps track of? When do NPCs dissapear/despawn? When I leave a cell, do they dissapear? Is there a certain length of time of not having been in a cell that they despawn? or are they there forever... say I run into 6 raiders, and kill 5 of them then run away... how long does that last raider continue to exist somewhere in the games resources? Does PCB (Purge Cell Buffer) cause all spawns in other cells to despawn? Primarily I'm asking about this because of Zombie Apocalypse. Initially, even with like 20 zombies around me, everything is fine. However, if I have to run from the zombies, and end up crossing several cells without killing any, the game starts to slow down more and more. Hence, these questions :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
