Health/Ammo Pack Spawner
What it does:
This allows usage of the vehicle spawn template to be used to drop in assets, in this case "powerupitem" class, anywhere on the field where it will respawn when taken.
How it works:
Place all assets in their respective world folders (DataXXX\Worlds\XXX\msh and DataXXX\Worlds\XXX\odf)
Open ZeroEditor
Place coa_ammo_drop or coa_health_drop somewhere on the map. It should be placed high enough so that it falls a short distance, otherwise it could go through your building/terrain.
Update the instance properties in the right hand panel. They must be in a ControlZone, so you'll need to set up a region if you don't have one.
Set the spawn time to whatever is appropriate (I used 20 seconds). This is how long after the pack is taken it will respawn.
Add coa_item_powerup_healthJK (or ammo) to all of the CLASSxxxATK and DEF instances that you will need it for.
(note: the previous steps are the same as vehicle setup)
Add entries under "class" for each odf. Example:
REQN
{
"class"
"coa_item_powerup_healthJK"
"coa_health_drop"
"coa_ammo_drop"
"coa_item_powerup_ammoJK"
}
Munge
Load map and check area. If you pick up the pack, it should respawn in the time allotted. You can also use the powerup odfs to change other information about the actual drops.

This is an awesome discovery! Thanks for the share! :cheers:
I have tested this in Battlefront 2 and confirm it works with stock powerups as well as characters! You can spawn any character and they will be friendly for whatever team owns that vehicle spawn. They don't seem to have a goal, during my tests, they ignored flags and CPs and just went around killing. When they died, they successfully respawned after the vehicle respawn timer counts down. They also obeyed the follow command. Lastly, it works with any character, as long as that character is loaded into the mission script.
Huh! I wonder if that works in SWBF1 also! It sounds like an interesting way of getting around team limits or having to do local spawn paths for just a single unit or two.
tried it unit spawns but doesent respond to anything atleast for me.
