So im guessing there are a cuple items you cant delete because there out of bounds on some maps? The map is foundry. Is there a set amount for each map that I have to take into account?

Valhalla has objects that aren't delete-able, especially when they should be.
Construct & Snowbound have undelete-able sentinel cores.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll have to get the number for each map.

There are reserved spawns in every Forge map that can only be moved or altered slightly, but not deleted.

Do you know of any specific ones?

Or even better, a complete list of all the spawns that can't be deleted?

The ones you cant delete, are usally in a place where you cant get to them. I know foundry has 22 objects you cant delete. Atleast in forge

You can tell just by looking at the hex.

This is the two first bytes in a Placement Block:

(From Shade's white paper, with a few added comments)
public enum BlockType : short
{
Player_Spawn = 9, //9(hex)
Reserved = 41, //29(hex)
Added = 131, //83(hex)
Original = 137, //89(hex) - ignored and loaded straight from the map
Edited = 139, //8B(hex)
NULL = 0,
}

That would take forever to look through 640 Placement Blocks >_>

Uh, you can't even have that many objects on a usermap...

Post by **grimdoomer** » Thu May 22, 2008 11:42 am

Yes you can. Its the Maximum amount you can have on any map. Maybe you cant spawn 640 objects. But there are a max of 640 Placement Blocks.

OK then what I do to find the user-added spawns is do a Find for the data "00830000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000." You could do a Find for the data "00290000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0000" to get all the reserved placement blocks, etc.
