Swap out pawn with new def?

[Orion]

I'm trying to swap out an existing pawn with a similar one that has a different pawn and race def. Obviously I'd like the new one to stay at the same position.

Also I want to retain all healthTracker data (this is the trickiest part, it seems). Does anyone have experience doing this?

Check the ticks controlled events thread pinned at the top of this subforum. I believe the code has something very similar to your idea.

Thanks so much for pointing me that way!

What I had missed was using

Code Select Expand

IntVec3 pos = GenCellFinder.RandomStandableClosewalkCellNear(Position, 2);
to find a suitable position and

Code Select Expand

GenSpawn.Spawn(newPawn, pos);
to finally place it correctly.

Awesome!
