# How to use worldCommunityRegistry and worldCompiledCommunity

{% hint style="warning" %}
This guide explains the theory on how to setup communties, and how they tie into quests

For actually creating communities, it is recommended to instead follow the [communities with Object Spawner guide](/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/ai-and-npcs/creating-communities.md)

## Basics

There are two types `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode` and `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode_Streamable`

The difference between them is only that `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode` must be registered in `AlwaysLoaded` type of `.streamingsector`

`worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode_Streamable` can be registered in other types of `.streamingsector` (exterior/quest/etc)

## Theory

Working with `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode` and `worldCommunityRegistryNode`

In general, we are specifying in `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode` all our spots where we want to spawn NPCs/etc by its `entryName`/`phase`.

For example in the quest **Riders on the Storm** CDPR reactivates all needed NPCs by their reference, entry name, and phase name.

Setup your Wkit project.

Create `.questphase` `.streamingblock` and `.streamingsector` files

<figure><img src="/files/XGpaTQpM7jmxjLfd0lUS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Create `archiveXL` file and specify your `.streamingblock` and `.questphase` files

   <figure><img src="/files/5M17EBIgXVw898CGGkV6" alt=""><figcaption><p>we will use .questphase file later</p></figcaption></figure>
2. Create NodeRefs for `worldAiSpotNode` and `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode`

3. Create `worldAiSpotNode` and its `worldNodeData` and assign created `NodeRef`before

   <figure><img src="/files/SolFqHIZEKLDuBBAq1Od" alt=""><figcaption><p>In the spot property u need to specify workspot that you want to use</p></figcaption></figure>
4. Create `worldCompiledCommunityAreaNode` and its `worldNodeData`

   <figure><img src="/files/2p0dtdqNS03SR9qotmg5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   **Important**:\
   \- In the `Node/area/entriesData` we specify an `entryName/phaseName/spotId(AiSpoNodeHash)` so in the future, we can `Activate/Reactivate/Deactivate` its entities by these params\
   \- `sourceObjectId` - it should match `id`of registry item
5. Create `worldCommunityRegistryNode` and its `worldNodeData`

   <figure><img src="/files/1A0YnBymIQlDfKRdpUTB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Details about the registry:

**Important:**

`communitiesData` - there are we specifying the type of NPC its template, entryName, and all possible phases

<figure><img src="/files/j6SeVW95mfhkIRMLCZq9" alt=""><figcaption><p>In this example, i set Panam with entryName panam and phase A to be able to activate on the spot we created earlier</p></figcaption></figure>

`workspotsPersistentData` - there we are adding a new spot into the engine's global registry by the hash of our `AiSpotNode`

<figure><img src="/files/s2ntpXNJkQDAESkvl4BZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Trying to spawn:

I set the point in front of H10 V's apartment so we should see Panam spawning once we send a command. To do so we need to create a few nodes in our `.questphase`

In our .xl file, we set that`.questphase` will trigger whenever we enter the apartment.

Then you can deactivate/reactive with SpawnManager
