[SOLVED] How to rename spawn with specific name?

Post by nEk0 »

Hello. I'm really new to PAS. I want to know how to name the specific spawn spot in RPG mode. From the vilage_rpg map, in edit mode I found that there are many spawn spots that has their unique name such as "spawn: elder" and "spawn: pieman" while in their cfg file there is the declaration of "spawn_pieman" and "spawn_elder".

While me myself create new spawn spot but doesn't know how named it very specific because the spawn just named "spawn". Can someone help me how to make the "spawn" their specific name?

Which .cfg file are you looking at? The rpg_game.cfg?
When you add a space while adding a spawn in the console, I think it automatically makes an underscore. I think so. So "JACK BLACK" would be read as "JACK_BLACK". I think. Hope that helps. I'm kinda confused, too.

No. Not whitespace. But how to create specific spawn spot for specific entity such as NPC, so that each NPC can be automatically spawned at their specific spot each time the map is loaded just like village_rpg map.

Think that this is what you are looking for - its very easy.

If you wanted to spawn a character called "andy"

simply type in /spawn andy

It will spawn the standard model

Save the map, and load it again. Enter edit mode and it should say

spawn: andy like it says spawn: elder in your pictures
I'm taking modelling requests again - any models you want created,skinned or animated (or all 3) leave a post here:

My tutorial site - still under construction, but lots of good stuff there:
