Attempting to spawn an entity at different locations.

[SammySung]

Machines = {
 
Vector(-1318, -430, 710),
Vector(-1895, -702, 742), 
Vector(-1815, -690, 1998), 
Vector(-1815, -689, 1254), 
Vector(1040, -2692, 710), 
Vector(760, -3825, 710), 
Vector(3056, -2818, 805),
Vector(2176, -2583, 805),
Vector(-675, 244, 766),
Vector(528, -1349, 758),
Vector(-1711, 1188, 838) 
}
 
function SpawnMachines()
 
        local vending;
 
        if( game.GetMap() == "rp_c18_v1" ) then
 
        for k, v in pairs( Machines ) do
 
                local vending = v
 
        local machines = ents.Create( "ts2_vendingmachine" )
	machines:Spawn()
	machines:Activate()
        machines:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
 
                end
        end
end
 
timer.Simple( 5, SpawnMachines );

None of them will spawn. I'm not getting any error in console either. I think it has something to do with the positioning but I honestly don't know for sure. Any help would be appreciated.

You weren't using SetPos to set their positions.

Use ipairs as the table is numerically indexed, also you can hook it to InitPostEntity instead of using a timer.

[lua]local map = "rp_c18_v1";

local machines = {
{Vector(-1318, -430, 710), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(-1895, -702, 742), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(-1815, -690, 1998), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(-1815, -689, 1254), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(1040, -2692, 710), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(760, -3825, 710), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(3056, -2818, 805), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(2176, -2583, 805), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(-675, 244, 766), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(528, -1349, 758), Angle(0, 0, 0)},
{Vector(-1711, 1188, 838), Angle(0, 0, 0)}
}

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "Create vendingmachines 5 seconds after map start" function()
if(game.GetMap() != map) then return; end

timer.Simple(5, function() // Create our machines 5 seconds after map start
for _, posang in pairs(machines) do // Loop through all positions and angles stored.
local machine = ents.Create("ts2_vendingmachine");

machine:SetPos(posang[1]); // The first field in the table is the position.
machine:SetAngles(posang[2]); // The second field in the table is the angle.

machine:Spawn();
machine:Activate();

machine:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE);
end
end);
end);[/lua]

Try that.
