I've been adding some new characters in the game and I was thinking about allowing them to respawn in interiors. But I don't want to use the stock 3 days value. In Oblivion I used a mod called SPAWN that allowed me to set up random intervals for respawning rather than just using the default. I figure it should be fairly easy to do in Fallout using the SetEncounterZone command, but I can't figure out how to tell the game the value I'm creating is a time one. I want to start with a base value, like the 72 hour default, then multiply that using the GetRandomPercent condition. But how do I get the game to recognize that the resulting value is a time value?

Values in scripts don't have units - how they should be interpreted depends entirely on how they are used.

I haven't been able to find any reference to a "SetEncounterZone" command. Is that a script function you're talking about?

Sorry, I worded it wrong. It's actually SetZoneRespawns:

So it should be possible to set up a random value for that to occur if I can figure out how to get the game to recognize a time value. I've come across the Globals that deal with time, like GameDaysPassed etc. but those don't strike me as anything I can use in this context. I'd like to have something like iHoursToRespawnCell * GetRandomPercent, but I'm not sure how to make it work.

From the documentation, it looks like this function specifies whether a cell respawns or not, and the actual time to respawn is the same for all respawning cells and governed by that gamesetting.
