this is what i'm using atm, but i may change it to mpiC or may change mpic's to fbspir. also may add some more turretEnemy points. there's some IA path points in there, too, but they are ignored in mpi.

You dont 'need' one if you want to use the actual boundries of the map, it is more usefull for when you have a map that is bigger than the area you want to actually use and limit the hoemans from going beyond those boundries.
I.o.w. it is more usefull as a feature to facilitate visually appealing maps.

had this stuff in mind when posting about it; probably should have added it at the time.

pb6:

- Fix for mantis #2358. Added, to ODFs

[WeaponClass]
AllowOffmapFiring = false

If this is false (default), the weapon cannot be triggered when
off-map, as defined by the edge_path pathpoints. If true, the weapon
can be fired from anywhere. Mods like G66 that exploit this feature
will need to add this flag. [NM]

pb2:

- Tweaked position-near code. It tries much harder to find a position
closer to the target position's height, and shouldn't spawn any
objects outside the edge_path. [NM]

Kind of makes me want to request an ODF-flag 'allowoffmapspawning'. 8-)

Read my comment in context with RD's, not as a seperate statement.

No, Red does not.

Red was joking that if the position-near code should not spawn off map, there is room for an extra (rather pointless) odf flag.

Or are you saying RD wants one? 'Red' isnt really the most clear way of addressing either of us. 8-)
