I can't figure out a way to do this, but is there any way one could create a monster generator?
Like a super event that until destroyed continues to create new enemies periodically?
In theory it should be simple...
I'm sure Blizzard incorporated a script call that will check to see if the enemy is alive or dead. Find out if there is one. If there is, then use that call script under a parallel process condition that starts a timer when the enemy dies. Wait so many seconds and reset the enemy's location and revive him there with the call script command. You would need a switch for the hive and a second page for your monsters. When you destroy the hive, let the switch change the monster's pages so they stop coming back to life.

You mean Gauntlet-style? Yes, Calintz's idea would work, or you could implement it using the respawning enemies feature that, if I remember correctly, is planned for a future version of BABS.
i thought that enemy re-spawns were already there...

A respawning feature eh? Awesome. I guess I have to wait; until then, I will see if I can find the required items for Calintz's idea.
Edit: Yes, there is some respawning feature in babs; however, its not a generator or "hive." And its called "respawn time" but that's for ALL enemies; rather than individuals

I think that /respawn[id] is what you are looking for a individual respawn point.
winkio said he will implement the create-an-enemy script call.
That's freaking awesome!
