	~~Type~~: ~~Miscellaneous~~, ~~parameterized~~		Parameters:
			*'''misc1''' = Thing mnemonic or DeHackEd number to spawn (must be valid, no default)

	~~Parameter Information:~~		Spawns an object of the provided type at the calling object's location. Friendliness of the calling object will be transferred to the spawned object.

	~~Purpose: Spawns an object of~~ the ~~provided~~ type at the ~~calling object's location~~. ~~Friendliness of~~ the ~~calling~~ object will ~~be transferred~~ to ~~the spawned object~~.

	Notes: This codepointer will no longer crash on invalid thing type numbers as of Eternity Engine v3.31 public beta 3. If the type indicated is not valid, the pointer will do nothing.

New page

Type: Miscellaneous, parameterized

Parameter Information:
*Unknown 1 = DeHackEd number of thing type to spawn (must be valid, no default)
*Unknown 2 = Integer amount of units to add to z coordinate of object (default = 0)

Purpose: Spawns an object of the provided type at the calling object's location. Friendliness of the calling object will be transferred to the spawned object. This codepointer is new to MBF.

Notes: This codepointer will no longer crash on invalid thing type numbers as of Eternity Engine v3.31 public beta 3. If the type indicated is not valid, the pointer will do nothing. Also note that if both the source and spawned object are solid, they will become stuck to each other. This codepointer is more suitable for boss-brain-like effects.

Thunk: Yes.
