How would you make a room that can create unlimited monsters using scripting?

you wouldn't. at least in DROD 2.0/JtRH.
unless you want unlimited roaches, of course, but then you wouldn't need scripting :)

I don't think infinate is possible. The closest you'd get is to have NPC's that cover the whole area of the room.

I seriously doubt that there will be a scripting command like this in TCB:
Create (roach) at 1, 1

But I don't really think that anyone would like unlimited monsters anyways... (roach queens / mothers aren't really unlimited, but they're as close as you can get.)

I think you want monsters appearing when you get in certain areas, right? Then do this:

Q = roach queen
. = empty
W = wall
X = target area
Y = yellow door

WWWWWWWWWWWW
WQQQQQQQQQQW
WQ.........W
WQ.WWW WWW.W
WQ.WQQQQQQ.W
WQ.WQ......W
WQ.WQ. WWW.W
WQ.WQ.WQQQ.W
WQ.WQ.WQ...W
W..........W
WWWWWYWWWWWW
............
............
............
....XXX.....
....XXX.....
....XXX.....
............


When Beethro steps on a square of the target area, the yellow door opens. When he steps off, it closes. Since more than 30 roaches are produced, there will always be one to come out.

Of course, there are 3 errors in my diagram: way to kill, roaches don't all have a clear path, and you need to put force arrows under the queens to keep them there.

SE: Your diagram loves links twice. :P

As of the question, impossible.

Apparently, whenever you put www.something' it treats it as a link.
