Description of Loot Spawn Editor | gmod Loot Placement Tool

🚀 Presentation of Loot Spawn Point Editor

Use the Loot Spawn Point Editor to edit the spawns of loot on your maps having also the choice on the rate of chance of spawn, and also the ability to choose the time of the reloot between 5 seconds to 1 hour, once you have everything placed all works in an automated way. As a bonus, my system can also spawn npcs. If you put multiple objects in the list of the spawn point it will choose randomly from this list. Everything that is spawnable in the category of entity may be added to the if. How does this function?

-You just need to spawn the cube, and press "USE" to access the menu.
-Add entities in the list of the spawner to the right, there are two methods to do so.
The first method you write the name of the entity and validate, the line then appears in the list, note that you can copy the name of the entity since the spawnmenu with right-click on it. And paste.

The second method is more simple, I created a system for entity detection around the spawner.You place your item next to the spawn point you open the menu of the spawner and you click detect and it will then show you all the objects around him. Select the object that you want to add to the list of spawner. Once added the object to the ground will automatically remove.

-Activate the system by choosing his time to reloot. Because by default it is on stop.Note that the option 5 Seconds is useful for your tests. If the object created by the spawner still exists, then no new object will respawnera this is a trick that allows to avoid the flood, and having too many object on the ground.
-Adjust the rate of chance of the spawn, by default it is at 100%, you can spawn a rare item and set the rate to spawn in the 10% chance, finally, this is only an example, the choice goes from 0 to 100%.
-And for you to organize my system included the Admin-Eyes, a kind of ESP for Administrators that allows you to see all the spawn points on the map with the icons and names that you have assigned. This allows you to have a view on your work and also allows you to work cohesively with your team.
-The nordahl_loot_finder is a detection system of spawn, because the customers can't see them. The if can be disable from the config.file.lua 0|1.
When he types the command !loot_finder in the chat it will display in metres the distance of the spawn closer to you. The distance is also configurable in the config.file system.
-Since the version 1.9 (august 2018) It is now possible to disable the automatic boot generation(automatic loot is called mode : 0.
A secondary mode a was added for force spawn to generate a loot only when the player press " Use " (E by default), called mode 1. Read question 10 in the wiki to know how change the mode.

Note : The system does not yet allow the spawn of the vehicles. I meditate a little before doing so.
