#SPAWNSTATIC SPAWNSTATIC

SPAWNSTATIC class, extends Base#BASE

The SPAWNSTATIC class allows to spawn dynamically new Statics.

Through creating a copy of an existing static object template as defined in the Mission Editor (ME), SPAWNSTATIC can retireve the properties of the defined static object template (like type, category etc), and "copy" these properties to create a new static object and place it at the desired coordinate.

New spawned Statics get the same name as the name of the template Static, or gets the given name when a new name is provided at the Spawn method.
By default, spawned Statics will follow a naming convention 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():

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

Spawn methods

Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:

• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2(): Spawn a new group from a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. (The group will be spawned at land height ).
• SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone(): Spawn a new group in a Zone.
