Any ideas to force director spawn multiply witches/tanks 50/50 per map?
I just got 4-5 witches but no tanks. I want achieve at least 2 tanks and 2 witches, more is welcome too.

I modified this plugin myself and achieved that anyway one tank spawn.
Also randomize and consistency off, it has no effect for director multiply spawns so i turned it off both.
Hi AcidTester,

I has a theory. I am pretty sure that the director will not spawn a witch and a tank practically next to each other normally. Tank placement is governed by two convars with regards to how often they can spawn and when. If director_spawn_tank is on the game will spawn a tank every time is is able (taking into account these convars).

Basically if the director is spamming tanks it is very unlikely (maybe impossible) that the director will spawn a witch.

I am considering adding an option to All4Dead in the next version which will allow you to set a minimum and a maximum amount of tanks and witches to spawn a map. The spawning itself would be governed by random timers rather than flow control. Would this do what you wanted?
