ADungeonSubLevelScriptActor Guide

ADungeonSubLevelScriptActor is the parent class that lets Dungeon Generator read a hand-authored special-room sublevel.
Every level registered in UDungeonSubLevelDatabase should use this parent class so the plugin can read its size and grid information.

When to use it

• You want a boss room with a fixed design
• You want a hand-authored start room or goal room
• You want to insert occasional special rooms such as hidden rooms

How to create it

1. Create a level for the special room.
2. Change the parent class of that level's Level Blueprint to ADungeonSubLevelScriptActor.
3. Set Horizontal Size and Vertical Size to match the main UDungeonGenerateParameter.
4. Enter Width, Depth, and Height as room size in grid counts, not centimeters.
5. Enable ShowGrid if needed and place meshes so they align with the grid.
6. Register the level in UDungeonSubLevelDatabase.en.md, then run Build.

Important points

• Width, Depth, and Height are grid counts, not centimeters.
• Horizontal Size and Vertical Size must match GridSize and VerticalGridSize in the main settings.
• Build in UDungeonSubLevelDatabase reads the size and grid information from this class and copies it into the database.

Editing tips

• Place the sublevel entrance and passage openings assuming the room will later connect to auto-generated rooms.
• Build temporarily loads the level for analysis, so it is safer not to build the level you are actively editing at that moment.
• If the grid size does not match, UDungeonSubLevelDatabase will report an error during Build.
