# create_event_director Generate a generalized L4D-style AI/pacing director component (host-authoritative). On a configurable interval the host rolls a weighted pick over a [Property] List EventPrefabs (with a parallel List Weights), skips any event already active (dedupe) and anything past a MaxActive concurrency cap, clones the chosen prefab, NetworkSpawns it, and attaches a generated {name}TimedEvent companion so each spawned event self-destructs after EventLifetime seconds. Great for ambient events, waves, and world events. Single-player safe (IsProxy guard; NetworkSpawn falls back to a local clone). Fill EventPrefabs/Weights in the inspector or via the bridge after a hotload; edit the RollInterval() stub to make pacing adaptive (player-count/inactivity/time-pressure factors) per the ai-director cookbook. Optionally attached to an existing GameObject by GUID (after a hotload). NOTE: emits ONE .cs file containing two classes ({name} + {name}TimedEvent); the type only resolves after trigger_hotload.

It triggers external operations in the game engine whose effects depend on the provided arguments (prefabs, weights, timing). From the tool's own definition: "NetworkSpawns it, clones the chosen prefab, attaches a generated {name}TimedEvent companion so each spawned event self-destructs after EventLifetime seconds — triggers external operations (network spawning, prefab cloning, event lifecycle management) whose…" ## Use case AI agents invoke create_event_director to trigger actions in Sbox. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
