Creature Spawner, or CreatureTable Spawner is a script used to spawn creatures within a level.
<aside> 🗒️ With an Event, Spawn() can be used to spawn the creature on demand.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Creature Table ID | Reference the Creature Table ID (CreatureTable JSONS) |
| Pooled | Spawns the creature from the Creature Pool. Recommended for optimisation, using the pool generated at runtime. |
| Async Spawn | Spawns creatures via Async. This spawns them immediatly, but can break the creature. If creatures spawned this way is broken, uncheck this. |
| Spawn on Start | Spawns the creature when the level is loaded, or when this GameOject containing this script is enabled. |
| Block Load | If Spawn on Start is enabled, it will instead delay the spawning of the creature until after the level loading has been completed. |
| Spawn on Nav Mesh | If the creature has not spawned on an area where there is a navmesh, will move to spawn the creature on the nearest navmesh. |
| Ignore Room Max NPC | Used for Dungeon. Ignores Room Max NPC limit per room, and spawns the creature anyway. |
| Spawn at Random Waypoint | Spawns NPC at a random [WayPoint][WayPoint] on the map. |
| Waypoints Root | Allows you to select what [WayPoint][WayPoint] the NPC spawns on. |
