'Unique' area flag clarification.
Reviewed, UrgentPublic

Description

It appears that the M79 spawns at heli crashes, but the mapgroupproto entry for the heli crash assets, don't include the 'Unique' value tag. The types.xml entry for the M79 has the 'Unique' value tag applied, so in theory shouldn't spawn at heli crashes. The 'Unique' tag is effectively a new tier, but this tier only covers one vanilla heli crash spawn point. This doesn't appear to be correct. The shipping containers that spawn for the train event, do have the 'Unique' tag applied in mapgroupproto.xml, which makes sense. Is this a bug, or just a case the 'Unique' value tag needs adding to the heli crash mapgroupproto.xml entries?

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Check M79 types.xml entry for 'Unique' value area flag.
  2. Check Mi8 and UH1Y mapgroupproto.xml entries for 'Unique' value tag.
  3. Observe tag is missing from both entries, so therefore the central economy shouldn't spawn the M79 there in theory.

Hello cflynn93.
Value tags are not check for the dynamic events, they are "above" those tags. So dynamic event can spawn things from any tier.
