Item spawner

Classnames:	item_spawner
Purpose:	Generating artifacts.
H2 Code:	artifact.hc
fields required:	origin, targetname, a spawning field

Actually spawns mana and artifacts, not items. The item is spawned when the targetname is triggered. I've only tested spawning triggered by a button, but I'd expect it to work quite generally. I've only gotten one item out of each spawner, don't know if there's any multiple-use dispenser entity.

Fields

origin	Value is a triple of number, location of item. Your editor should manage this visually, automatically.
targetname	Value is a name, targetted by some trigger
a spawning field	One of the fields listed here, indicating what to spawn.

Example

For a button to trigger the creation of a torch, we can have the following two entities:

button:

classname button

target shiny

item_spawner:

classname item_spawner

targetname shiny

cnt_torch 1

origin 0 86 233

When the button is pushed, the torch appears at the location of the spawner (it seems to be tossed up, then settle down to the floor).

Back to the list.
