[VKXTools] Entity Spawner

This is a tool made in order to spawn random choosen entities in a specific shape with or without a spawner.

It allows you to spawn a lot of entities, see the following list of compatibles categories :
─ Weapons
─ Scripted Entities
─ NPCs
─ Vehicles
─ simfphys vehicles

Shapes are used to spawn entities in a certain geometrical form, they only impact on position, angle and number of entities.


Spawners are used to spawn random choosen entities at a fixed delay and a fixed maximum of entities. They can be permanently saved on the map or just temporary. They are usefull to spawn groups of NPCs (like zombies) or to spawn vehicles or weapons periodically for an apocalypse server for example.

A Player Presence Radius system is implemented, allowing spawner to only run when a player is within a defined radius, which also has an option to make spawners entities to disappear when no player is within the range.

Green spawners are non-permanent spawners and red spawners are permanent (saved and loaded on server restart) ones.

These are technically-advanced convars which are only useful if you make custom scripts integrations for this system:
- `vkx_entspawner_network_superadmin_only <0 or 1>`: server; default to `1`; Should the spawners be networked to superadmin only or be available for other players?
- `vkx_entspawner_network_run <0 or 1>`: server; default to `0`; Should the spawners run-time be networked to allowed users? This option syncs the new spawner properties to clients. Users are defined by `vkx_entspawner_network_superadmin_only` convar

Due to prediction system, the tool doesn't work properly on singleplayer. If you want to use this tool in solo, I recommand you to create a +2 players game (in the game starting options). (fixed since 19/06/2022)

Otherwise, an entity can block the spawning. Try to spawn your entity without spawners, you should see notifications error if the entity doesn't spawn. If you encountered an entity which should not blocking the spawn, please comment below by mentionning both the map name and the entity name so that I can fix the issue.

You need to check the "Default Spawn Menu" option in ZBASE menu (from the 'Options' tab of the spawnmenu) in order for them to be spawnable.
