There is a minor bug with the Rikti Force Field Generator destroyable object. Other destroyable objects scale from 1 to 50. That object only exists from levels 35-50. I did not pay attention to the levels and it bit me.
Unlike mob levels, the level on destroyable objects does not auto-sidekick the player to the level of the object. Nor does the game return an error when that object is placed on a map with lower level enemies.
So you can put the rikti force field generator in a Hellions map, that will force the player to level 10. At that level, the players will not be able to scratch the generator, and it will make your mission uncompletable. I learned this when I just put it in an outdoor map because it was big, conspicuous, and looked interesting. But 20-something players who could do everything else in the design could not put a dent in the level 35 object. I had to swap it out for something different.
Leave it. Just dont have it as a required kill for that map. If you like the look, you neednt sacrifice it, keep that on the map, but maybe add something lower... the interface object for it has to be destroyed instead. However, many thanks for the FYI!
