There's a link in the top right corner, looks like this:


Easiest way to spawn an mp5 kit in a bunker would be to add a line to an existing template in ObjectSpawnTemplates.con:

ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner heavytankspawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 3 US_MP5
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 M1A1
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 T72
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 40
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 60
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 45
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10

and add an extra spawner in objectspawns.con:

Object.create heavytankspawner
Object.absolutePosition --/--/-- <--bunker position here
Object.rotation 0/0/0
Object.setTeam 3

Why is it called a heavytankspawner? where can i find the corrlation between that and the mp5? How do I find other objects, that I might want to add to the map?

It's called heavytankspawner because you cannot add extra spawn templates serverside. Therefore, you have to use one that already exists. Because you add the mp5 as a team 3 spawn, the tank spawns are unaffected. When you add the lines

Object.create heavytankspawner
Object.absolutePosition --/--/-- <--bunker position here
Object.rotation 0/0/0
Object.setTeam 3

it tells the game to use Template 3 of the heavytankspawner. In this case that is the mp5.

You can also find a list of all objects in the reference section I believe.

You have to add to/edit an existing spawner template, as creating a complete new one doesn't work.

You can use any spawner template to spawn any vehicle or weapon.

You can add 1942 objects to Desertcombat, 1942 and desertcombat objects to DC Final, but not the other way round.

Awesome.. that worked...
I still need to do some reading, but can you tell me how many setObjectTemplate assignments I can have to one ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner heavytankspawner?

Not sure on that. I've had up to 6 setObjectTemplates if I remember rightly but never tried more than that. You can probably do more. If there is a limit you can always do the same thing with a different spawner (such as the lighttankspawner for example).

The most I've seen is 14 on ktr's map , I presume they all worked.
