+// Script created by Crashed
+
+// Used as a series of 11 spawnpoints to simulate 10 outposts and 1 master spawn
+
+//  This script allows a particular custom monster to "respawn" every so often
+// in a static place. X seconds after the monster is killed, it will reappear
+// at its "spawn point."
+// HOW TO USE:
+// Step 1 - Install the script into your module by copying and pasting this
+// code into a new script. Save the script as "staticspawn" -- it should
+// compile with no errors.
+//
+// STEP 2 (IMPORTANT) - In any area where you wish to use this script, you
+// must have a static object on the map with the tag "spawnmaster". I prefer
+// a barrel or a crate in a place where the players can never get, but it
+// can be any object, as long as that object has an action queue. NOTE:
+// If/when the spawnmaster is destroyed, monsters will stop spawning. You
+// can use this to create e.g. an altar the PCs must destroy to stop the
+// flow of monsters, if you wish.
+//
+// Step 3 - For every monster type you want to be able to spawn using this
+// script, you must create a monster BLUEPRINT representing that monster.
+// That blueprint must have its OnDeath event set to "staticspawn" (the name
+// of this script)
+// Example:
+// Suppose I wanted to have an Orc-infested area where orcs respawn every
+// 30 seconds or so after they are killed. I would create a new blueprint
+// using Creature Wizard, picking the appropriate stats for my orcs. I
+// would call this blueprint, for example, "respawning_orc".
+//
+// Step 4 - For every position within your area where you want a monster to
+// spawn you must create a waypoint using the Waypoint type on the palette.
+// The Tag of this waypoint can be anything you wish, but it must be unique.
+// I call mine 'spawnpoint1', 'spawnpoint2', and so forth. The Name of this
+// waypoint must be very specially formatted. The first three characters
+// of the name must be a number representing the spawn time, e.g. how many
+// seconds should pass after one monster dies before another one appears. The
+// fourth character must be an underscore ('_'). The rest of the string is the
+// name of the BLUEPRINT of the monsters which are to be spawned here, in other
+// words, the blueprint you made in step 3.
+// Example:
+// I made a monster blueprint "respawning_orc" in step 3, and I now want
+// a spawn point that would spawn an orc every 5 seconds. I would create
+// a waypoint with the tag "spawnpoint1" and name "005_respawning_orc"
+//
+// Step 5 - For every spawn point within your area, you must create an "initial
+// creature" for that spawn point. The initial creature should belong to the
+// blueprint that you created in step 3, and it should be placed very close to
+// the spawn point. The initial creature must be assigned a tag of a certain
+// format. The first three characters of the tag should be "ms_" and the rest
+// of the tag should be the TAG of the waypoint you created in step 4.
+// Example:
+// For my example, I would paint a "respawning_orc" monster on top of
+// the "spawnpoint1" waypoint that I created. I would then open Creature
+// Properties for the monster I just created on the map and set the tag to
+// "ms_spawnpoint1".
+//
+// Step 6 - Just kidding, there is no Step 6. You're done. Save your module
+// and you should have a respawning monster.
