I’m very interested in getting this, but I have a question first

Is there a way to change the theme on a per-room basis (for random generation, so without doing it myself)? Like say I want to make a “prison room” that spawns in prison cells, or a “book room” that spawns bookshelves

After watching your videos I think there are two ways I can do this - a custom market/emitter (with affinity controlling the to spawn a room type) and then if it spawns that custom marker, use the custom logic to spawn similar objects in that room. But I’m not sure if this will work how I’m thinking (IE can a custom marker control the entire room?)

Another idea I had was spawning theme volumes that match the room size, and using that to change the walls and appearances and such.

Is there an easy way to do what I’m talking about, controlling specific rooms?

Also, is there a way for the logic to access data about the current room? As in, say I only want to spawn 1 Large Chest in a room. Is there a way to “only spawn this once in this room”?

@Pinworm Your second approach can work where you wrap theme override volumes around your rooms (e.g. prison theme, garrison theme etc). After the dungeon layout is build, a set of preconfigured theme override volumes (e.g. prison theme volume) are wrapped around the rooms using a blueprint. is an example:

watch?v=7KKlBJnCDt8

This post has more info along with a sample blueprint

You can access the dungeon model from blueprint and get the room information. There is also a query system to help you. If you need help with anything specific, feel free to post in the forums
