| − | Thanks for the touchups to the main page's layout. It's just something I threw together (by shamelessly ripping off the English Wikipedia's main page layout as a base inspiration) to make the page look like less of a wall of text, if you have ideas on how to spruce it up or reorganize it even more feel free to give it a shot. At some point the wiki will get a Dragon Age skin of some sort added to it so now's the chance to freestyle. [[User:BryanDerksen|BryanDerksen]] 22:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
| + | I've give you admin and bureaucrat group membership, hope this will finally break the logjam we've been stuck in for so long now. Use them wisely! [[User:BryanDerksen|BryanDerksen]] 21:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC) |

| − | | + | |
| − | * I think we can use the '''dascript''' mark up to auto-format the function's prototype: gives for a lighter and more consistent feel
| + | |
| − | * The parameter/return/source were quite intense with the heavy bolding: used lighter weight and itallics however I had to fudge the indentation
| + | |
| − | * Reordered/tweaked subheadings
| + | |
| − | * I think we should use the following subheadings:
| + | |
| − | ** Description: this should be the official full length description taken from the comments and only updated by people who know what they are talking about
| + | |
| − | ** Remarks: this is known bugs, issues, workarounds, hints and tips, etc. basically anything that has been established through usage by BioWare or the Community (I stole some of the description to populate the example)
| + | |
| − | ** Examples: transcluded snippets from the script library
| + | |
| − | ** See Also: any related functions (not just those in the @sa comments) and any related function groups
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | NOTE: we can use the dascript config file to automatically link the return/data types. I will add that to the next version of the dascript.php file.

| − | === Description ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Creatures of this type that are spawned with the CreateObject function in this area will use this block of memory, and when creatures of this type die or are set inactive their memory space will automatically be returned to the pool.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The purpose of this function is to allow for endlessly spawning monsters, or similar situations.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Remarks ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It should be used under [[EVENT_TYPE_AREALOAD_PRELOADEXIT]]. When creatures die or are set inactive they will automatically return to the pool.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that pool creatures should have "no permanent death" enabled, otherwise certain effects (such as decapitation) will remain on them when they respawn.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Pool size should be at least twice the number of enemies from that will ever be active simultaneously.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Examples ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <dascript>
| + | |
| − | void main()
| + | |
| − | {
| + | |
| − | // create a pool of 5 skeletons
