Conditions for Hatch Spawn Positions

You know, sometimes as a killer or survivor, the hatch spawned right next to us, which basically automatically either denies the last survivor kill, or denies an escape pretty easily.


So my idea here is simply check, if the killer/survivor is in a position where the hatch can spawn. If they are, then spawn the hatch somewhere else than in the positioning of the killer/survivor. So searching actually has a purpose. I know it happens very rarely that the hatch spawns right next to you, but you know, just something to mention, and besides, this should actually be really easy to implement.




I have a bizarre feeling [not likely] people would have in mind that it perhaps would be easier to find hatch as killer as the hatch would spawn on both sides far away from eachother, so I will leave this section as well here.

And if you are afraid that killers have an headstart at looking for the hatch because they are the one hunting the last survivor, not the immersed survivor, because survivors may be scared to be found and rather be immersed, keep in mind that survivors eventually need to go on haste if they want the hatch. They will most likely be found by the killer if it happens, but you have little choice here, especially if the gates are close together.
