monstermaker

Used to spawn monsters. Very limited. Use squadmaker instead for better results and more control.

1 Keyvalues

"Target On Release", target: Targets which are fired whenever a monster is spawned.

"Monster Type", monstertype : Set the classname of the monster, weapon, item, ammunition or whatever else may be spawned by squadmaker's without working incorrectly here. Click HERE for the list of monsters.

"Childrens' Name", netname : If set, everything that is spawned by this squadmaker will receive this as its targetname.

"Monster count", monstercount : Total amount of monsters which can be spawned by this squadmaker. If this value runs, the squadmaker won't spawn anything anymore. Setting this to '-1' means an endless supply.
