Summary	0002595: SEED: make spawn_xyz more versatile
Description	The mechanism of using "spawn_class" "atdm:foo" and so on instead of placing a target entity in DR is in some cases more flexible and has the potential to not spawn so many entities (which takes a long time), f.i. when only 5 out of 20 potential targets are finally used in a map, anyway. However, with only the class, the skin and count we miss many of the spawnargs that normal target entities can define (image maps, density and falloff etc). So we expand the list of supported spawnargs a bit. Most importantly, we should add a "spawm_model" that can replace "spawn_class" and creates essentially a func_static with a model. That we way can use all available static models rightaway without having to constuct entity defs for them first.
Tags	No tags attached.

tels 01.02.2011 12:59 reporter ~0003529	Fixed with revision 0004521. The "spawn_" spawnargs have now been renamed to "template_", they work now with models (creating a func_static) names, too, and they relay all seed spawnargs from "template_xyz" to "seed_xyz", too. Documentation moved to http://modetwo.net/darkmod/wiki/index.php?title=SEED_-_Templates_via_Spawnargs and fixed up, too. The only issue is now the needless spawning of a temp entity, which will be addressed as 0002599.
