Spawn enemies every x-seconds (Hammer Editor)

[estier]

Hello,

I've searched so long and I don't know how to spawn enemies every 5 seconds for a zombie map. The only thing I found on google was 'npc_maker' but that were source tutorials.

You need to place a zombie down then link it to the template maker, this zombie won't show up in game at the palce you put it, but clones of it will be made by the template spanwer

in future put questions in the question thread. Small threads like this push other threads off of the front page, this might cause peoples projects to receive less visitors or interest than they deserve

you can use point_template and logic_timer. On timer ---> point_template---> force spawn

This is probably the most general way to do it, and also works for entities that aren't NPCs. It's also useful for spawning things in specific patterns, because unless you specify otherwise, the objects spawned will always appear in the same position relative to the point_template that you placed them in with hammer.
