ObjectSpawner Type

The ObjectSpawner object type is created by ObjectTemplate.Create.

The ObjectSpawner type allows you to spawn objects or vehicles in a Battlefield map. Each ObjectSpawner object is then instantiated and placed in each level by Object.Create commands in the ObjectSpawns.con file. A spawner allows you to pick an object for team 1 (Axis) or 2 (Allies) depending on who has control over that spawn group. You can also have a spawn point generate vehicles for only one side (this is done in Battle of the Bulge for the windmill, for example; only the Allies get a tank).
