Title: Spawning certain items
Post by: musickid999 on August 28, 2008, 02:56:11 PM

I have a func_spawn question.
Let's say i made a button to spawn ammo.
Is there a way i can make it to specifically spawn only ammo boxes of 200?
I'm just using ammo as an example

Nope.

Hmh, I think he means if it's possible to spawn for example an autococker or a steel barrel or if it just spawns a random item.

Right. It's not, from what I've tried. You can spawn a weapon, but it'll always be a random weapon. You can spawn a hopper, but it'll be a random hopper.

Uhm, I thought there was a way to spawn the gun/ammo/hopper/gas you want, I just don't remember how to do it.
I might as well be wrong.

Key:  "type"

Value:  "200"

That works fine for the hopper entity itself, but I don't think it works on a func_spawner.

EDIT: trigger_spawner, sorry. And I just tested it, and you can only control the type of entity you spawn. None of the properties.

Be careful with spawners, as it's possible to cause overflows by spawning excessive amounts of equipment.
