//:://////////////////////////////////////////////////

//:: Summon Creature Trap Script

//::

//:: This is a fancy / dramatic effect to gate in a monster as a result

//:: of some PC action.  The most typical usage would be used in the 

//:: OnTriggered event of a trap. It could also be used in the OnEnter 

//:: event of a generic trigger if it is your desire to always summon 

//:: a creature when the PC passes through a location. 

//:: 

//:: To function the script requires a way point be placed to determine

//:: the summoning location.  If you wish to summon custom creatures they

//:: will also need to be placed on the pallet and their blueprint IDs

//:: noted.
