Apophis Nightmare

Apophis Nightmare is a simple mod for DayZ that introduces a dynamic and challenging survival experience by adding customizable nightmare events.

• Spawn Modes: Two spawn modes - interval-based and scheduled.
  
• Individual and Shared Spawns: The ability to spawn monsters for each player individually or for a random player among all on the server.

Developer Notes:
1. Monsters will not spawn inside buildings.
2. If a monster fails to spawn 10 times (due to lack of space), it will attempt to spawn again in the next iteration.

1. Interval Mode:

• Monsters start spawning after a specified time (in minutes) set in SpawnIntervalMinutes after a player joins the server.
  
• If IndividualMode is enabled, each player will be checked for monster spawns at the specified interval. If IndividualMode is disabled, monsters will spawn for a random player.

1. Scheduled Mode:

• Monsters start spawning at StartHour and disappear at EndHour.
  
• During this period, the probability (NightmareChance) of monster spawns is checked.
  
• All spawned monsters will disappear at EndHour.

1. Cooldowns and Spawn Chances:

• Each monster can be individually configured using SpawnChance, DistanceToPlayers, and CoolDownSeconds.
  
• Monsters spawn with the specified probability (SpawnChance) and will not spawn again until the cooldown period (CoolDownSeconds) has passed.

1. ClassNameA: A monster that spawns near the player every 10 seconds and has a 100% chance to spawn.
   
2. ClassNameB: A monster that spawns near the player every 500 seconds and also has a 100% chance to spawn.
