#SPAWNSTATIC SPAWNSTATIC

SPAWNSTATIC class, extends Base#BASE

The SPAWNSTATIC class allows to spawn dynamically new Statics.

There are two modes how SPAWNSTATIC can spawn:

• Through creating a copy of an existing Template Static as defined in the Mission Editor (ME).
• Through the provision of the type name of the Static.

Spawned Statics get the same name as the name of the Template Static, or gets the given name when a Static Type is used.
Newly spawned Statics will get the following naming structure at run-time:

• Spawned Statics will have the name _StaticName#nnn_, where StaticName is the name of the Template Static, and nnn is a counter from 0 to 99999.

SPAWNSTATIC construction methods

Create a new SPAWNSTATIC object with the SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic() or the SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromType() methods:

• SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic(): Creates a new SPAWNSTATIC object given a name that is used as the base of the naming of each spawned Static.
• SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromType(): Creates a new SPAWNSTATIC object given a type name and a name to be given when spawned.

SPAWNSTATIC Spawn methods

Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:

• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnInZone(): Spawn a new group in a Zone.
• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromVec3(): Spawn a new group from a Vec3 coordinate. (The group will can be spawned at a point in the air).
• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromVec2(): Spawn a new group from a Vec2 coordinate. (The group will be spawned at land height ).
• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromStatic(): Spawn a new group from a structure, taking the position of a Static.
• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromUnit(): Spawn a new group taking the position of a Unit.
