Question regarding rabbitholes for careers

Post by notanecrophiliac » July 30th, 2018, 7:14 pm

Let us say that I have a custom career that is in those "combo" rabbitholes, much like the theatre and criminal hideout in Moonlight Falls. However, since such a rabbithole is not present in Sunset Valley perhaps, then would it be possible to make another version of the custom career with basically the same coding and such, but instead the career will be located in only a theatre rabbithole for worlds that do not have combos? And would it be possible to run the version with the combo rabbithole and the version with the theatre-only rabbithole at the same time?

Hi, afraid I must be missing something here. Wouldn't be the first time, but bear with me.

Careers are not tied to individual rabbitholes or building designs, they are tied to rabbithole types. If the combo lot in MF is hosting this career, then it is either tied to the theatre rabbitholes or the criminal ones (theatre from the sound of your description).

If you play a world with any theatre rabbithole lot in it, the career should be hosted there. If you play a world with six theatre rabbitholes in it (yes, I know that would be strange), combo or standalone, building shells or rabbithole rugs/doors, then all six of them would host the career and sims would be able to choose which one they want to work at.

Having said all of that, which custom career is this? I've never heard of one being tied to a combo lot exclusively and that's the piece of the puzzle I may be missing if such a thing exists. :)

Oh, I am in the process of creating my own custom career for the game, which uses the theatre as a rabbithole. Then I also saw that the combo rabbithole was an option for the career's location, so I was curious as to how things would work if I played in a world that lacked the combo rabbitholes. But I think I understand. If my career is tied to the theatre rabbithole, then it would also show up in a combo which has the theatre attached to it? And I assume there would be no need to set the career's rabbithole to only the combo one, then.

Right, at least that's the way I believe it all works. With a strong recommendation that players who do have combo rabbitholes in play regardless be using the current version of Overwatch (v122 or higher) or else career-related and other opportunities tend to not work.

That's exactly how it works. I've never used the Combo Rabbitholes for career assignment since all careers based at the City Hall, Military, Police, Theatre etc all show on them perfectly fine. :)
