Custom Boss Spawning Problem.

I'm trying to design a Prevent Jailbreak mission and I need the boss to be in the back of the mission to give the player time to stop him from the time he triggers until he reaches the door/elevator, but no matter what I set (Back, Middle, Front, Any) I keep getting him right at the beginning of the mission.

I've tried the Zig map and the Police Station map and I get the same issue. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? I'd like his placement to be similar to Sid's in Ascendant's "Johnny Sonata and the Hitmen" arc.

Haven't seen Ascendant's arc, but I ran another on test that had three rescue objectives on the Zig breakout map, and they mostly spawned in the jail cells at the very end. I haven't a clue why that's not working for you.

Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball

Well, it's a boss that flees rather than a rescue objective, maybe it's just not feasible to make missions like that right now with the MA. Or if there is, I'm not having much success finding it. I may just have to rewrite that part of the arc.

One way to improve your odds of things spawning where you want them is to make sure that element is one of the first objectives listed in your arc. See the FAQ linked in my sig for more information.
